Whole-system duct and dryer vent check with before-and-after photos - you see exactly what came out of your vents
That "$99 whole-house special" is a bait ad - the real number appears once they are in your hallway, or the "clean" is a shop-vac at the register. We photograph the inside of your ducts before and after instead.

AfterAir Duct Cleaning Company in Brentwood, CA
Air duct cleaning in Brentwood, CA most often costs between $450 and $850 for a full system, depending on home size and how much agricultural dust has settled into the ductwork. Brentwood is the rare Bay Area suburb where the air itself works against your HVAC system. Tract homes built during the 1990s and 2000s construction boom now have ductwork that is 15 to 25 years old, carrying the fine silt of active orchards and row-crop fields straight into the living space. We’re the local team that puts a written price in your hands before we touch a single vent, and backs the work with a 365-Day Done Right Promise. Call us at (469) 972-3151 for an estimate.
See our home page to understand the full Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning standard, including the Kingswell Guarantee that governs every visit and the written promise that has defined this company since 2004.
Why Brentwood Homes Are Different
Brentwood sits inside active agricultural land, not beside it. Cherry orchards, stone-fruit rows, corn, and grain fields border the residential subdivisions directly, which means late-spring planting and summer-fall harvest seasons push enormous volumes of fine dirt into the air outside your windows and into the return-air grilles inside your house. Homes here collect a dust signature that is unique in Contra Costa County. It is not just household lint and skin cells. It is silica-laden field dust that settles inside flex duct, clings to the blower motor, and shortens filter life far faster than homeowners expect.
Then there is the heat. Brentwood’s inland location in the Diablo Valley regularly sees summer days above 105°F, sometimes running 25 to 30 degrees hotter than coastal cities like Martinez on the same afternoon. That means HVAC systems here cycle almost continuously from June through September. More run time means more air pulled through the ductwork, and more particulate packed against the duct walls. When the Delta breeze kicks in at night, it draws outdoor agricultural air back through any gap in the duct sealing, which compounds the problem.
The housing stock adds a second layer. The growth surge from the mid-1990s through the mid-2000s produced thousands of tract homes by production builders like Centex and Shea Homes. Those homes share nearly identical duct systems, and the builder-grade flex ductwork installed at construction is now reaching the age where sagging, tears, and debris accumulation are common. Many of those systems had drywall dust and construction scraps left inside before the first family ever moved in. In neighborhoods near Marsh Creek Road and the Sand Creek growth area, technicians routinely pull a mix of fine agricultural dust and construction debris from the same return line.
Our Main Brentwood Services
Brentwood homeowners call us most often about two things: the clogged, dusty ductwork feeding their central HVAC system, and the dryer vent that has stopped moving air the way it should. Each service has its own dedicated Brentwood page with pricing, scope, and the local conditions that matter.
Air Duct Cleaning in Brentwood
Our air duct work in Brentwood uses a Rotobrush rotary brush system to agitate debris off the duct walls while a Nikro negative-pressure unit pulls it out of the house. The combination matters here because the fine agricultural dust that settles in Brentwood ductwork is too light to vacuum out with suction alone. It has to be physically loosened first. We also use Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration so whatever we dislodge does not drift back into your living room while the work is in progress. Homes off Sand Creek Road and around the Marsh Creek corridor tend to show the heaviest accumulation. Read the full scope and city-specific notes on our Air Duct Cleaning in Brentwood page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Brentwood
Brentwood’s dry, dusty air loads dryer vents with lint faster than residents expect, and the long single-story floor plans common in Centex-built subdivisions mean longer vent runs than most Bay Area homes. A clogged vent in a Brentwood laundry room is often a vent that runs 15 to 20 feet before it reaches the exterior wall. We clean the full run, including the lint trap bypass that many box-store cleaning kits miss, and restore proper airflow. Details, warning signs, and Brentwood-specific pricing are on our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Brentwood page.

What Brentwood Customers Say
"Bought an older home and the previous owners had pets everywhere. After Kestrel did the ducts the stale smell was just gone. On time, quick, and they showed me the filter they pulled."
- Preston Ngata"Our dryer was taking two cycles to dry a load. They cleaned the vent and pulled out a frightening amount of lint. Dries in one cycle now and honestly I feel better about the fire risk."
- Marcus Lee"Set up an appointment for the whole house plus the dryer line. They called the morning of to confirm, showed up in the window, and showed me pictures of the gunk they pulled out. Worth it."
