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 Stafford, TX
Air duct cleaning in Stafford, TX typically runs between $450 and $900 for a full residential system, and most jobs are completed the same day. The work is shaped by Stafford’s climate and building stock: Gulf Coast humidity, 1970s-to-1990s ranch homes, and a commercial corridor along US-90A and Murphy Road where aging flex-duct and rooftop-package-unit systems collect decades of contamination. We’re Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning, and we put a written price in your hands before any work begins. Call (469) 972-3151 for a free estimate.
Why Stafford Homes Are Different
Stafford sits on the flat Gulf Coastal Plain at roughly 80 feet elevation with no topographic relief to move air or dry things out. Relative humidity averages above 70 percent year-round, which means duct interiors in both homes and commercial buildings experience constant condensation cycles. Mold doesn’t just grow here; it thrives in supply runs that never fully dry between cooling seasons. Cooling effectively runs from March through November, so the window for contamination to accumulate is far longer than what homeowners in inland Texas cities like Austin or San Antonio deal with.
Stafford’s residential footprint is relatively modest and skews toward 1970s-to-1990s ranch-style homes and large apartment complexes. In many of those original flex-duct runs, the inner liner has degraded after decades of humidity exposure, leaving gaps that pull attic air – along with attic heat and mold spores – directly into the supply stream. We routinely find homes where the ducts are leaking 20 to 30 percent of conditioned air into the attic before it ever reaches a register.
The commercial side of Stafford is a different animal entirely. Stafford’s long-standing elimination of city property tax made it a magnet for commercial and light-industrial tenants, so the local duct cleaning market is dominated by aging warehouse, flex-industrial, and strip-mall HVAC systems along the US-90A and Murphy Road corridors. Many of those structures were built during the 1980s Houston-area commercial boom and now carry 35-to-40-year-old duct systems that have absorbed decades of industrial particulates and repeated post-Harvey moisture events. We’ll talk more about what that means for commercial work below.
Our Main Stafford Services
Stafford homeowners and property managers call us most often about two things: getting the ductwork in their home or commercial space cleaned properly, and clearing dryer vents that have become a fire hazard. Each has its own page with full pricing and process details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Stafford
Air duct cleaning in Stafford is as much about moisture management as it is about dust removal. We use negative-air extraction – meaning a powerful vacuum pulls air out of the duct system while rotary brush agitation loosens debris at the duct wall. On a typical Stafford ranch home, we often find flex-duct separated at the plenum connections, pulling attic air into the supply stream. The cleaning itself can be done in a day, but when we find leaks, we document them clearly so the homeowner knows exactly what’s moving through the system. For full pricing and a walkthrough of the process, see our dedicated Air Duct Cleaning in Stafford page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Stafford
Dryer vent cleaning in Stafford is one of the most straightforward safety measures a homeowner can take. Lint builds up fast in the humid air here, and a clogged vent forces the dryer to work harder and run hotter. We see a lot of original 1970s and 1980s vents that were never upgraded to modern smooth-wall ducting, and those corrugated runs trap lint in the ridges. The job typically takes 45 to 90 minutes. For full process details and pricing, visit our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Stafford page.

What pushes a Stafford price toward the high end is usually accessibility. Ranch homes with ducts running through tight, low-clearance attics take longer to work in, and commercial tilt-wall buildings with oversized package-unit runs often require additional time on the roof. Whatever the number, it’s a single written price agreed to before we touch a vent.

What Stafford 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."
