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 Palm Springs, CA
Air duct cleaning in Palm Springs costs between $450 and $875 for most homes, with larger mid-century properties with flat roofs running higher. That’s the honest range, and it reflects how different this city’s ductwork really is. Palm Springs has one of the densest concentrations of mid-century modern homes in the country, and those homes put ductwork in places most contractors never see. Give us a call at (469) 972-3151 and we’ll give you a written price before anyone touches a register.
Why Palm Springs Homes Are Different
Palm Springs’s massive stock of mid-century modern tract homes, particularly the Alexander Construction Company homes built in the late 1950s and early 1960s in neighborhoods like Twin Palms Estates and Vista Las Palmas, were designed around form before airflow. Most feature flat or butterfly roofs where ductwork runs through rooftop cavities or shallow plenum spaces, not the standard truss attics you’d find in most of Southern California. Those rooftop cavities routinely exceed 150°F every summer, and decades of that extreme thermal cycling causes original fiberglass duct board and flex duct insulation to literally crumble and shed debris into the airflow. That means contaminated and deteriorating ductwork is a structural norm in this city’s housing stock in a way that simply doesn’t apply to newer builds. Add the San Gorgonio Pass winds carrying fine ancient-lakebed silt from the Coachella Valley floor, and you get registers packed with compressed desert silt, not ordinary household dust. Technicians who miss this mistake a clean duct for one that has simply shed its lining into the living space.
Our Main Palm Springs Services
Palm Springs homeowners call us most about two jobs: getting decades of desert silt and degraded duct board out of their air systems, and clearing dryer vents that bake in the same rooftop heat.
Air Duct Cleaning in Palm Springs
Most Palm Springs air duct jobs start with a simple question: how much of what we’re seeing is dust you brought in, and how much is the ductwork itself coming apart from the heat? In flat-roof Alexander-era homes, the answer is often both. We use negative-air extraction, which means a powerful vacuum pulls loosened debris out of the duct rather than blowing it into your living room. The full picture, including prices and what the 365-Day Done Right Promise covers, is on the Air Duct Cleaning in Palm Springs page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Palm Springs
Dryer vents in Palm Springs run through some of the hottest roof spaces in the Coachella Valley, and lint that would stay loose in a cooler climate bakes into a hard, caked layer. That’s why the dryer that worked fine in March starts tripping its thermal cutoff by June. We clear the full run from the dryer to the exterior termination, including elbow points where Palm Springs’s fine silt and baked lint collect fastest. See the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Palm Springs page for what a full vent cleaning covers here.

What Palm Springs 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."
