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 Gateway, FL
Air duct cleaning in Gateway, FL runs between $425 and $900 for most homes, depending on system size and how much contamination has built up inside the flex duct. A large share of our Gateway work happens in homes built between the late 1980s and mid-2000s, where the attic-run duct systems are now aging out at the same time in one of the hottest attic environments in Florida. If you need the full breakdown of what a Gateway cleaning involves, our Air Duct Cleaning in Gateway page covers it. For a same-week appointment, call (469) 972-3151 and we’ll give you a written price before any work begins.
Why Gateway Homes Are Different
Gateway was built as a master-planned Lee County community, and most of its single-family homes and townhomes went up between roughly 1988 and the mid-2000s. That matters because nearly all of them share the same mechanical setup: an air handler staged in an unconditioned attic, pushing air through flexible duct distribution. In a Southwest Florida summer, that attic space routinely reaches 140 to 160 degrees. Twenty or more years of that heat breaks down the inner liner of flex duct. The liner delaminates, the insulation gets exposed, and the loose fibers that result move through the house every time the AC cycles.
Then there’s the humidity. Gateway’s ductwork almost never gets a dry-out period because the AC runs year-round and the outdoor air holds moisture almost constantly. That creates chronic condensation at supply registers and inside poorly sealed flex duct joints. Mold colonization in this climate moves faster than it does further north, which is why we treat duct cleaning in Gateway as a genuine maintenance item, not an upsell. And after Hurricane Ian’s September 2022 landfall, we started seeing something else: homes that were fully remediated on paper but still had visible mold rings inside flex duct collars. Roofing crews and drywall teams moved fast in the rebuild rush. The duct systems were too often left in place, never inspected, never replaced. The house looks rebuilt. The air inside tells a different story. Dale Whitmore has walked through enough of these attics in the past few years to know exactly what to look for before we ever quote a price.
Our Main Gateway Services
Two jobs keep Gateway homeowners on the phone with us most weeks: full air duct cleanings on aging flex duct systems, and dryer vent cleanings that actually clear the entire run, not just the first few feet.
Air Duct Cleaning in Gateway
When we clean air ducts in a Gateway home, we’re usually working on attic-run flex duct that’s 15 to 30 years old. We use negative-air extraction, which means we pull the loosened dust and debris out of the duct system rather than just pushing it around, and we pair that with rotary brush agitation from Rotobrush equipment to break debris loose from the duct wall. The goal is a system that moves air cleanly and drains the condensation where it’s supposed to. Full details, including exact pricing by system type, are on the Air Duct Cleaning in Gateway page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Gateway
Dryer vents in Gateway clog fast because the humidity keeps lint damp and sticky, and because most vent runs here are longer than average, often snaking from a laundry room on the interior through walls and out a soffit or roof cap. We clean the full run from the lint trap housing to the exterior termination using a lint trap bypass, which means the brush goes through the entire line rather than just the visible first section. A clogged dryer vent is a fire risk, and it’s also the reason dryers in Gateway often take two cycles to finish a load. See the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Gateway page for the full rundown.

What Gateway 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."
