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 Palm Valley, FL
Air duct cleaning in Palm Valley costs between $390 and $1,450 for a complete system, depending on home size and how much the coastal air has compromised the ductwork. Most Palm Valley homes run between $490 and $890. We’re Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning, and our crews work in Palm Valley subdivisions every week, pulling apart flex-duct systems that have been fighting salt-marsh humidity and attic heat since the late 1990s. Call (469) 972-3151 for a written price before any work begins.
Every job here operates under the Kingswell Guarantee: the price goes in your hands in writing before a single vent is touched, and the work is backed by our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we return and make it right at no charge. That’s the whole arrangement, documented on paper.
Why Palm Valley Homes Are Different
Palm Valley sits in a low-lying corridor directly against the Intracoastal Waterway salt marshes. The air here carries salt and moisture at levels you won’t find a few miles inland in St. Johns County. That matters for ductwork because flex-duct systems in these homes are almost universally installed in attic spaces under dark Florida roof decks, where temperatures routinely top 140°F. The combination is rough on equipment: attic heat degrades the duct liner and insulation from above, while salt-laden, supersaturated air infiltrates aging duct joints from below. Moisture deposits inside, salt residue accumulates, and mold gets a foothold faster than in most Florida communities.
The housing stock makes this a community-wide situation rather than a scattered one. Palm Valley was built out primarily during the planned-community boom from the mid-1990s through the early 2010s. Those original flex-duct systems are now hitting the 15-to-25-year mark at the same time. We regularly pull flex-duct sections in subdivisions off Palm Valley Road, near the marshes, with visible mold blooms on the inner liner inside systems that are only 12 to 15 years old. The original flex-duct gauge spec common to late-1990s St. Johns County construction simply wasn’t designed for this micro-climate.
Our Main Palm Valley Services
Palm Valley homeowners call us for two jobs above everything else: full air duct cleaning to restore the HVAC system, and dryer vent cleaning to clear the lint that builds up faster in humid coastal air. Each has its own Palm Valley page with full pricing and job details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Palm Valley
Full-system air duct cleaning in Palm Valley means removing every supply and return register, running a Rotobrush rotary brush system through the duct runs to dislodge debris at the duct wall, and pulling the loosened material out with Nikro negative-pressure extraction. Negative-pressure extraction simply means the unit creates suction that pulls contaminants out of the duct and through a HEPA filter, rather than blowing them into your living space. In Palm Valley attics, we also inspect flex-duct runs for sagging sections where moisture has pooled and broken the liner down. Full details and pricing are on the Air Duct Cleaning in Palm Valley page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Palm Valley
Dryer vent cleaning in Palm Valley runs a rotary brush the full length of the vent line, from the dryer connection to the exterior termination, then uses negative-air suction to pull out every bit of dislodged lint. In Palm Valley’s humid air, lint clumps and sticks to the vent walls instead of blowing through, which is why vents here clog faster than the national average. We also clear the lint trap bypass, the short channel inside the dryer that holds lint the removable screen never catches. Job specifics and pricing are on the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Palm Valley page.

What pushes a Palm Valley price toward the upper end is the duct condition itself. Systems showing mold colonization from years of salt-marsh humidity and attic heat require more brushing time, more negative-air extraction cycles, and often partial flex-duct replacement. Whatever the number, it’s the number you approve before we start. The written price reflects the whole system, not a per-vent line item that grows once the van is parked in your driveway.

What Palm Valley Customers Say
"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."
- Terrence Boyd"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."
