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 Antioch, CA
Air duct cleaning in Antioch costs between $285 and $480 for most homes, with larger two-story houses running up to $640. We’re Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning, and we work differently here than we do in coastal cities 30 miles west. Antioch’s 1990s and 2000s tract homes, constant Delta Breeze particulate, and summer temps above 100°F mean duct systems here load with debris fast. Call (469) 972-3151 for a written quote before any work begins.
Why Antioch Homes Are Different
Antioch sits where suburban Contra Costa meets the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. The same afternoon Delta Breeze that keeps summer evenings tolerable also pushes fine agricultural dust, pollen, and wildfire smoke into return air intakes. Homes near Deer Valley Road and the Brentwood border, downwind of active cherry and grain operations, collect reddish-brown field soil in supply plenums by late summer. That contaminant profile is specific to this side of Contra Costa. You won’t see it in Walnut Creek or Concord jobs.
The housing stock adds another layer. Prewett Ranch, Hillcrest, and Lone Tree homes built in the 1990s and 2000s came with builder-grade flex duct, now 20 to 30 years old. Flex duct liners crack at that age. Boot connections at registers separate and leak. Downtown’s older 1950s and 1960s homes often still have rigid sheet-metal ductwork with failing mastic joints and uninsulated attic runs. Neither situation is theoretical. We see both weekly.
Because cooling loads are extreme and systems run long daily cycles from June through September, one Antioch season can put more debris in ducts than two or three years would in a coastal home. Annual cleaning here is practical maintenance, not an upsell.
Our Main Antioch Services
Antioch homeowners call us about two things most often: the ductwork behind their HVAC system and the vent behind their dryer. Each has its own dedicated Antioch page with the full details on process, pricing, and what to expect.
Air Duct Cleaning in Antioch
Antioch duct cleaning means dealing with fine Delta particulate that settles into every return and supply run. We use Rotobrush rotary brush agitation to dislodge debris from duct walls, paired with Nikro negative-air extraction to pull it out of the house. Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration keeps loosened particles from re-entering living space while we work. Homes near the eastern fringe take extra time because agricultural dust packs tightly into supply plenums. Full details on pricing and process are on the dedicated page: Air Duct Cleaning in Antioch.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Antioch
Dryer vents in Antioch clog faster than homeowners expect, especially in homes where the dryer vents through a long interior wall or up through the roof. Lint plus Delta humidity forms a packed plug that reduces airflow and drives energy bills up. We clean the full run from dryer to exterior termination, including lint trap bypass, and we check the exterior cap for obstruction. The full write-up is here: Dryer Vent Cleaning in Antioch.

What pushes the price up in Antioch is age. Homes in Prewett Ranch and Hillcrest with original 1990s flex duct sometimes need more time because liners have begun to crack and debris is stubborn at the duct wall. Homes downtown with rigid metal and failing mastic joints can complicate access when attic runs are tight. Before we touch a single vent, you have the written price in your hands. No per-vent billing, no door-step revisions.

No. Duct cleaning is interior maintenance and does not require HOA approval in any Antioch neighborhood. Dryer vent work that changes the exterior cap or termination point may need a quick check with your HOA, but standard cleaning does not.

What Antioch 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."
