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 Cumming, GA
Air duct cleaning in Cumming, GA usually costs between $350 and $650 for a full system on a typical two-story home, depending on the number of furnaces and the condition of the flex-duct runs. What makes Cumming jobs different is the housing stock itself: thousands of large 2000s and 2010s builder homes whose ductwork has never been opened since the day the drywall went up. We’re the local air-duct specialist that puts a written price in your hands before any work starts, and every job carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. Call (469) 972-3151 for a free estimate.
Why Cumming Homes Are Different
Cumming sits at the center of one of the fastest-growing counties in the United States. Forsyth County’s population jumped from roughly 98,000 in 2000 to over 250,000 by the 2020s, and that explosive growth left a specific signature on the housing stock: large two-story homes built fast in the 2000s and 2010s, nearly all of them running extensive flex-duct through multi-zone HVAC systems. Flex duct sags over time. Debris settles at the low points, restricts airflow, and holds moisture. Because so many of these homes are first-owner or first-resale, a duct cleaning here is often the first one the system has ever received.
There’s another layer to it. During the mid-2000s construction boom, Forsyth County’s red clay soil got tracked into open duct boots on job sites across the area before the drywall ever went up. When our technicians open 15-year-old supply lines in Cumming, they regularly pull red-tinged debris that was sealed inside the system before the homeowner ever moved in. Add Lake Lanier’s humidity, which raises condensation risk in shoreline subdivisions from Bald Ridge to Shady Shores, and Georgia’s heavy spring pollen load during peak AC season, and the result is a system working harder than it should while circulating particles that settled in years ago.
None of this is unusual to us. It’s what we expect when we pull up to a Cumming home.
Our Main Cumming Services
Two jobs dominate the calls we get from Cumming homeowners. Both are scheduled services, both carry the same written-price and 365-Day Done Right Promise, and each has its own page with full pricing and local details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Cumming
Air Duct Cleaning in Cumming means opening the full supply-and-return system and removing what shouldn’t be in there: construction debris from the build, red clay dust, pollen, pet dander, and the fine particulate that settles in sagging flex-duct low points. We use negative-air extraction, which means the system runs under vacuum while we agitate the duct walls, so loosened debris is pulled out of the house rather than pushed into the living space. In Cumming homes with two furnaces and long flex runs to second-story bedrooms, a first-time cleaning typically takes four to six hours.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Cumming
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Cumming clears the full run from the dryer connection to the exterior outlet. Lint bypasses the trap over time and packs into the pipe, especially in two-story homes where the vent run is long or makes multiple turns. In Cumming’s humid climate, damp lint compacts faster, and a restricted vent makes the dryer run hotter and longer. We clean the full run and leave the connection tight and the exterior hood clear, with the same written guarantee as every other job we do.

Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning Company in Cumming, GA
| Service | Typical range in Cumming |
|---|---|
| Full duct cleaning, single-system home | $350-$550 |
| Full duct cleaning, two-system home | $550-$800 |
| Dryer vent cleaning, standard run | $95-$250 |
| Supply-register replacement (per register, varies by style) | $25-$75 |

| IAQ filter installation | $150-$400 |
In Cumming, the biggest price drivers are the number of furnaces and the condition of the flex-duct. A two-story home with a separate system for the upstairs will always run higher than a single-system ranch. And homes where the original flex has sagged or separated may need a section replaced rather than cleaned. Whatever the scope turns out to be, the price is written down and agreed to before a single vent is touched. We use Rotobrush rotary brush systems to dislodge debris at the duct wall and Nikro negative-pressure units to pull it out, with Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration keeping loosened particles out of the living space while we work.

What Cumming 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."
