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 Elgin, TX
Air duct cleaning in Elgin, TX means dealing with a very specific kind of dust: the dark-red Blackland Prairie clay that drifts off active farm fields and into return-air registers. Most Elgin homes run between $450 and $850 for a full-system cleaning, depending on home size and how much construction dust is packed inside the ducts. We’re the local duct-cleaning company that gives you a written price before any work starts. Call (469) 972-3151 for a free estimate.
Why Elgin Homes Are Different
Elgin sits at the leading edge of Austin’s eastward suburban sprawl along US-290, where Blackland Prairie farmland is being converted to tract subdivisions at a pace that shapes what we find inside ductwork. A large share of Elgin’s housing stock was built between 2015 and 2023 during a construction boom, which means return ducts are frequently loaded with residual drywall dust, concrete particulate, and red-clay agricultural dust blown in from adjacent fields that were still being plowed while the framing went up. That combination is largely absent in fully settled suburbs like Round Rock or Pflugerville, but in Elgin it’s the normal starting condition for a duct system.
Elgin also has a two-tier housing stock that changes how we approach each job. Older 1960s to 1990s ranch-style homes near the historic US-290 corridor often have original metal ductwork carrying decades of accumulated agricultural and road dust. The growing belt of builder-grade new construction, by contrast, has flexible duct systems that were installed during active site work. Those flex ducts are especially prone to trapping fine particulate because they sat open through the dusty framing and drywall phases. Add in mountain cedar pollen from December through February and the near-continuous AC runtime from June through September, and you have systems in Elgin that need cleaning more often than the national guideline suggests. Local techs regularly pull return-air filters and duct interiors coated in the characteristic dark-red clay dust, a fine sticky particulate that a standard 1-inch filter never fully stops.
Our Main Elgin Services
Elgin homeowners call us most often for two jobs: full air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Each has its own Elgin page with pricing, process, and local detail.
Air Duct Cleaning in Elgin
Full-system air duct cleaning in Elgin typically runs $450 to $850, depending on the home’s size and the number of returns. In newer Elgin builds, we’re usually removing construction dust from flex ducts that sat open during drywall. In older ranch homes along the 290 corridor, we’re pulling decades of fine agricultural dust out of metal duct runs. We use negative-air extraction to pull contaminants out of the living space, followed by rotary brush agitation that dislodges debris stuck to the duct walls. The written price is in your hands before we touch a single vent. Air Duct Cleaning in Elgin
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Elgin
Dryer vent cleaning in Elgin runs $89 to $189 for a standard single-story run, and we get most jobs done in under an hour. Elgin’s red clay dust clings to lint, and the result is a vent that clogs faster than it would in a fully paved-over suburb. The job includes a lint trap bypass, meaning we clean the entire vent path and not just the section behind the dryer. We confirm airflow before and after with a manometer, so you can see the difference in measurable terms. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Elgin

Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning Company in Elgin, TX
| Service | Typical range in Elgin |
|---|---|
| Air duct cleaning, small home (up to 8 supply vents) | $450 - $550 |
| Air duct cleaning, mid-size home (9-14 supply vents) | $550 - $700 |
| Air duct cleaning, large home (15+ supply vents) | $700 - $850 |
| Dryer vent cleaning, standard single-story run | $89 - $139 |
| Dryer vent cleaning, two-story or roof-vented run | $139 - $189 |

What pushes a Elgin job toward the top of these ranges is usually dust load and access. A 2020 build with flex ducts that sat open through construction, or a 1970s ranch with original metal runs and an attic-mounted handler, takes longer to clean thoroughly than a well-sealed system in a settled subdivision. You get one flat price per system, agreed before work starts, on every job.

What Elgin Customers Say
"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."
- 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."
