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 The Colony, TX
Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning is the air duct cleaning company The Colony homeowners call when original 1970s, 80s, and early-90s ductwork starts showing its age. Most homes in The Colony were built in a tight window when flex-duct and duct-board were the standard, and after 30 to 45 years of North Texas attic heat, those systems shed debris, separate at the seams, and pull attic air into living spaces. We inspect, clean, and document every job against the Kingswell Guarantee: a written price before work begins, a defined arrival window, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. Call (469) 972-3151 for a free estimate.
Why The Colony Homes Are Different
Most of The Colony was platted and built as a master-planned community between the mid-1970s and the early 1990s. That means a large share of the city’s single-family housing stock still runs on original flex-duct and fiberglass duct-board. In a newer suburb, you might find 10-year-old systems that just need a light cleaning. Here, we regularly open return plenums and find decades of accumulated dust, pet hair, and construction debris compacted against the duct-board walls.
The lakeside position changes things too. The Colony sits directly on Lewisville Lake’s south shore, and the ambient humidity runs measurably higher than inland suburbs like Frisco or McKinney. During a long Texas cooling season, that moisture works its way into supply ducts where condensation forms, and damp duct-board is exactly where microbial growth gets started. Add attic temperatures that routinely hit 140 to 150 degrees in summer, and the adhesive holding duct-board liner together breaks down faster than any manufacturer’s rating anticipated. The result is often foil facing peeling away from the duct-board and loose liner fibers circulating through the home.
There’s also a foundation factor unique to The Colony’s older western subdivisions. The Blackland Prairie clay under many slab-on-grade homes heaves seasonally, and that movement stresses the metal boot connections where ducts meet floor registers. When a boot separates, the supply run pulls unconditioned attic air and particulate straight into the home. Homeowners often notice one room that stays dusty no matter how often they clean. We find the boot separation and fix it as part of the duct cleaning.
Our Main The Colony Services
Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning offers two services in The Colony, each with its own dedicated page covering local pricing, the process, and what to expect.
Air Duct Cleaning in The Colony
Air duct cleaning in The Colony means dealing with 30 to 45-year-old flex-duct routed through scorching attics. We run a Rotobrush rotary brush through the supply and return runs to dislodge debris stuck to the duct walls, then connect a Nikro negative-pressure unit to pull loosened material out of the system while an Abatement Technologies HEPA filter keeps it out of your living space. In lakeside neighborhoods, we pay particular attention to duct-board that may have absorbed moisture and begun to delaminate. Read the full breakdown at Air Duct Cleaning in The Colony.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in The Colony
The dryer vents in The Colony’s original homes often run long distances from the laundry room to an exterior wall or roof, and lint accumulates in every bend. When a lint-choked vent reduces airflow, dryers run longer, clothes come out damp, and the lint inside becomes a fire risk. Our techs clean the entire run from the dryer to the exterior termination, then verify airflow with a meter before they leave. Homes near the lake also contend with higher humidity, which can make lint clump and stick inside the vent more stubbornly than in drier areas. Details at Dryer Vent Cleaning in The Colony.

Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning Company in The Colony, TX
| Service | Typical range in The Colony |
|---|---|
| Whole-home air duct cleaning (single system) | $450 - $850 |
| Whole-home air duct cleaning (multi-system home) | $850 - $1,400 |
| Single return plenum cleaning | $90 - $180 |
| Supply boot repair or reseal (per boot) | $60 - $120 |

| Filter replacement / filter media | $25 - $80 |
| HEPA filtration add-on | $100 - $250 |
What pushes a The Colony job toward the upper end of these ranges is age and damage. A 40-year-old duct-board system with separated boots and collapsed flex sections takes longer to clean properly and usually includes repairs along the way. Lakeside humidity can also mean more extensive microbial growth that requires additional HEPA filtration time. Whatever the job involves, you get a written price before a single vent is touched, and that number does not change when the technician is standing in your hallway.

What The Colony 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."
