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 Lakeway, TX
Air duct cleaning in Lakeway, TX runs between $395 and $1,100 for most homes, depending on system size and the number of zones. We’re Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning, and we handle ductwork and dryer vents for Lakeway homeowners whose systems face a specific set of local conditions: cedar pollen, limestone dust, and multi-zone custom floor plans. Every job gets a written price before we start. Call (469) 972-3151 and you’ll reach a live person who can answer questions about your Lakeway home’s system.
Why Lakeway Homes Are Different
Lakeway sits in the middle of Ashe juniper country, and between December and February, fine cedar pollen is everywhere. It slips through standard MERV-8 filters and coats the inside of return and supply ducts. Homeowners in Rough Hollow and Serene Hills see it even in newer construction, because the tree-protection ordinances that preserved large wooded lots kept the juniper right up against the house. We routinely pull cedar pollen out of supply trunks in homes built after 2015.
The housing stock adds another layer. Many original 1970s and 1980s resort-era homes around the Lakeway core have aged flex duct that’s brittle at the connections and older filter housings that don’t seal tightly. The newer custom builds in Rough Hollow and Lakeway Highlands are different: two- and three-story layouts with long supply runs and multiple zones that take longer to clean properly. Close to the lake, humidity settles into lower-elevation duct runs and can create the moisture conditions mold needs to get started. These aren’t production-builder systems, and they don’t clean like them.
Our Main Lakeway Services
Most Lakeway calls come down to two jobs: the HVAC duct runs that handle heating and cooling, and the dryer vent line that carries lint out of the laundry room. Both are handled by background-checked, uniformed technicians with the same written-guarantee standard.
Air Duct Cleaning in Lakeway
We clean the full duct system in Lakeway homes: return and supply lines, trunk runs, and register boxes. The work uses Rotobrush rotary brush agitation to break debris loose at the duct wall, and Nikro negative-air extraction to pull the loosened material out of the house, not just stir it around. In multi-zone Lakeway homes, that means working zone by zone until every line is clear. The cedar pollen problem here is real, and this is the service that addresses it. Full details, including what to expect on the day and system pricing, live on our Air Duct Cleaning in Lakeway page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lakeway
Lint bypasses the trap in every dryer, and in Lakeway’s two- and three-story homes the vent line often runs long horizontal stretches before it exits, giving airborne lint more time to settle and stick. We clean the full run from the dryer connection to the exterior termination, using a rotating brush and a negative-air unit sized for residential vent lines. It’s not a leaf blower pointed at the wall; it’s the full run, cleaned to the outside. Read exactly what the job involves on our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lakeway page.

Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning Company in Lakeway, TX
These are the ranges we quote for Lakeway homes, based on system size, zones, and configuration. The written price you receive before work begins is the price you pay.
| Service | Typical range in Lakeway |
|---|---|
| Whole-home air duct cleaning (single-zone, 1-1.5 story) | $395 - $550 |
| Whole-home air duct cleaning (two-zone, 2 story) | $550 - $750 |
| Whole-home air duct cleaning (three-plus zones, 3 story / custom) | $750 - $1,100 |
| Additional return duct run (finished attic or long trunk) | $95 - $150 per run |
| Supply register / grille deep cleaning (per opening) | $15 - $25 per opening |
| Filter replacement (Aprilaire / Honeywell media cabinet, standard) | $25 - $60 per filter |
| Dryer vent cleaning (standard 1-story run) | $149 - $249 |

In Lakeway, the two big price drivers are story count and zone complexity. A 1970s single-story near the lake is a different quote than a 2018 custom build in Rough Hollow with three air handlers and twelve-foot ceilings. Whatever the range, you’ll have the number in writing before a single vent is opened, and that number doesn’t change at the door.

In most Lakeway communities, duct cleaning is interior work that doesn’t require HOA approval. Exterior access for dryer vents is typically limited to the technician standing on the ground or using a short ladder at the termination point, so no structural changes to the home’s exterior are needed.
Yes, because the dust that coats ducts eventually recirculates through the blower and heat exchanger, pushing the whole system harder. Even without a cedar allergy, the fine particulate loading shortens filter life and can leave a fine dust layer on surfaces throughout the house. We see it in nearly every Lakeway home we open up.

What Lakeway 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."
