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 Calabasas, CA
Air duct cleaning in Calabasas runs between $285 and $640 for most homes, depending on system size and how much wildfire debris has settled into the ductwork. We’re Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning, and we work on the large, multi-zone homes that define this city – the gated estates in The Oaks, the hillside properties above Calabasas Park, and the older ranches along Mulholland Highway. The work here is different from standard tract-home cleaning, and the price reflects that. Call (469) 972-3151 for a written quote before any work begins.
Why Calabasas Homes Are Different
Calabasas sits directly in the burn path of the 2018 Woolsey Fire, which destroyed nearly 1,500 structures in the surrounding area. Even homes that survived intact had ductwork infiltrated with wildfire smoke and fine ash particulates – contamination that persists years later because it settled deep into porous duct liner surfaces rather than just collecting as surface dust. When we open a return plenum in Calabasas, we’re often looking at char residue embedded in fiberglass liner from the 1980s or 90s, not just the usual household dust. Standard compressed-air cleaning alone doesn’t remove that embedded odor, which is why duct cleaning here frequently overlaps with smoke-remediation work.
The housing stock compounds the issue. Calabasas is dominated by large upscale single-family homes built between the mid-1970s and early 2000s – typically 3,500 to 7,000-plus square feet inside gated communities like The Oaks of Calabasas and Calabasas Park. These estates run multi-zone HVAC systems with long, complex duct runs that take significantly more time to clean thoroughly than a standard San Fernando Valley tract home. Add the thermal pocket at the base of the Santa Monica Mountains, where Santa Ana winds funnel chaparral dust and pollen directly into outdoor intakes, and you get ducts that load up faster than almost anywhere else in the region. A system that might go five years between cleanings in Agoura Hills often needs attention in three here.
Our Main Calabasas Services
Calabasas homeowners call us about two things: the ductwork carrying heated and cooled air through the house, and the dryer vent carrying lint out of the laundry room. Each has its own page with full pricing detail and local specifics.
Air Duct Cleaning in Calabasas
We clean supply and return ducts, the main trunk line, and the plenum using negative-air extraction – a Nikro unit creates suction at the furnace while a Rotobrush rotary brush agitates debris off the duct walls, so loosened particles get pulled out rather than blown into the living space. Calabasas homes with post-fire char odor in flex duct liner often need liner treatment or replacement alongside cleaning, which we’ll flag during the walkthrough. Full detail on process, pricing, and what the 365-Day Done Right Promise covers is on the Air Duct Cleaning in Calabasas page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Calabasas
We clean the full vent run from dryer to exterior termination, including the lint trap bypass and the wall cap. Calabasas laundry rooms are frequently on the second floor with vents running 15 to 30 feet through walls and attic space – longer runs mean more surface area for lint to accumulate and more friction for airflow to overcome. That buildup is the leading cause of dryer fires, and it’s why we don’t skip the exterior termination check. See the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Calabasas page for pricing and what to expect.

Standard cleaning removes accumulated dust, debris, and surface ash from duct surfaces. But Calabasas homes with char odor embedded in fiberglass liner from the Woolsey Fire often need liner treatment or replacement, which is a separate scope of work. We diagnose this during the walkthrough and give you a written price for whatever is actually needed before any work starts.

What Calabasas Customers Say
"My wife's allergies were awful every morning. Had the ducts done and it's made a real difference. Tech was on time and wore booties in the house without me asking."
- Rob Pendergast"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."
