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 Melissa, TX
Air duct cleaning in Melissa usually costs between $450 and $900 for a whole home, and almost every job here traces back to the same source: new construction. Melissa’s housing stock is overwhelmingly homes built from 2013 onward, and in nearly all of them, duct systems were left open and unprotected while drywall went up, blown insulation went in, and the job site got cleaned. The result is a “new” home with ducts that were never clean to begin with. If you’ve noticed dust settling back on furniture within days of wiping it down, the ducts are likely the culprit. Call us at (469) 972-3151 for an honest assessment and a written price before any work begins.
Why Melissa Homes Are Different
Most of Melissa’s subdivisions sit on Blackland Prairie clay, the same expansive soil that runs through much of Collin County. That clay shrinks in summer drought and swells after heavy rain, and over time the movement stresses slab-on-grade foundations. What does that have to do with air ducts? Plenty. When a slab shifts even slightly, duct boots and trunk-line connections can loosen, opening small gaps where unconditioned attic air, fiberglass particles, and fine clay dust get pulled into the airflow. Add North Texas summers where the AC runs nearly nonstop from May through September – often with temperatures above 100°F – and that dust circulates through the house all day, every day.
Then there’s the construction issue. In neighborhoods across the city, our technicians routinely open supply registers in homes that are only two or three years old and find visible drywall compound dust and blown fiberglass insulation still sitting inside the boots and trunk lines. The builder never capped the registers during construction. That pattern is so consistent across Melissa’s rapid-build subdivisions that post-construction duct cleaning is a standard first-service call here, not a rare remediation job.
Our Main Melissa Services
Melissa homeowners call us most often for two jobs: full air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Each service has its own page with pricing, process details, and FAQs specific to Melissa.
Air Duct Cleaning in Melissa
When we clean ducts in Melissa, we’re usually dealing with post-construction contamination first and everyday dust second. Our technicians use Rotobrush rotary brush systems to dislodge debris at the duct wall, then Nikro negative-pressure units to pull everything out of the system. Both pieces of equipment matter: the brush gets what’s stuck, and the negative pressure keeps those particles from re-entering your living space. In Melissa’s newer homes, a thorough first cleaning typically removes drywall dust, blown insulation fibers, and construction debris that have been in the ducts since move-in day. Read the full breakdown on our Air Duct Cleaning in Melissa page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Melissa
Dryer vent cleaning in Melissa homes is straightforward but easy to put off, and the cost of ignoring it is real: restricted airflow makes the dryer run hotter, longer, and less efficiently. In two-story production homes – which describe most of Melissa’s housing stock – vent runs are often long and make several turns before exiting the roof or an exterior wall, which means more lint accumulates at every bend. Our technicians clear the full run, from the dryer connection to the outside exhaust point. Get the details on our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Melissa page.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Melissa
Most Melissa jobs are scheduled within 3 to 5 business days. Because our Dallas-Fort Worth office dispatches crews to Melissa regularly, we can typically offer a defined arrival window that fits your schedule rather than a full-day waiting period. Call (469) 972-3151 and we’ll give you the first available window.
No. Air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning are interior maintenance work and don’t require HOA approval or city permits anywhere in Melissa. The only exception is if a vent exhausts through the roof and roof access is needed, in which case we handle the work without altering any exterior structure.
Builders typically leave registers open during construction so drywall dust, blown insulation, and debris settle directly into the duct system before the home is finished. It’s common across Melissa’s newer subdivisions, and it’s why a first-time duct cleaning is often the most thorough cleaning a home ever gets. Call (469) 972-3151 for a free estimate and we’ll tell you what’s actually in your ducts.
If your ducts have never been cleaned since the day you moved in, call Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning at (469) 972-3151 for a free estimate and a written price before any work begins. Led by Dale Whitmore, our Melissa crews show up in uniform, explain what they found, and stand behind the work with the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing.

What Melissa 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."
