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 Sandy Oaks, TX
Air duct cleaning in Sandy Oaks costs between $285 and $480 for most homes, depending on system size and how much sandy particulate has settled into the ductwork. We’re Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning, and we approach every job here with a written price in your hands before any work starts. Sandy Oaks presents a specific challenge: fine sandy soil, heavy live oak pollen, and AC systems running nearly year-round. That combination fills ducts faster than homeowners expect. Call (469) 972-3151 for a straight answer about your system.
Why Sandy Oaks Homes Are Different
Sandy Oaks sits on the sandy, loam-heavy soils of southern Bexar County. The name isn’t decorative. That soil produces a fine dust that works its way into homes through gaps around doors, windows, and low-wall return-air intakes far more aggressively than in paved, denser parts of the metro. Many Sandy Oaks properties also have unpaved driveways, caliche shoulders, or open bare-soil yards, so daily vehicle movement kicks up a particulate cloud that drifts straight toward ground-level intakes. Technicians from north San Antonio suburbs rarely see this pattern. We do, on nearly every visit.
The housing stock compounds the issue. Sandy Oaks is a small, semi-rural community dominated by ranch-style homes on larger lots, many built between the 1970s and 1990s with original flex-duct or sectional sheet-metal systems. Those systems were not engineered for the near-continuous AC runtimes today’s South Texas climate demands. Add live oaks, which release heavy pollen loads from February through April that coat return grilles and duct interiors, and you get ductwork that accumulates contaminants at an accelerated rate. The standard industry cleaning interval is simply too long for most Sandy Oaks households.
Our Main Sandy Oaks Services
The two services Sandy Oaks homeowners call us about most are whole-system air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Each has its own page with pricing and specifics.
Air Duct Cleaning in Sandy Oaks
Sandy Oaks ductwork collects a gritty mix of sandy soil, pollen, and dust that settles thick along the duct walls. Our Air Duct Cleaning in Sandy Oaks service uses Rotobrush rotary brush agitation to dislodge debris at the duct wall, paired with Nikro negative-pressure extraction to pull it out of the system rather than blowing it into your living space. Homes with original flex-duct from the 70s and 80s often need more aggressive brush work because the inner liner roughens with age and traps fine particulate.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Sandy Oaks
Dryer vents in Sandy Oaks clog faster than homeowners expect, partly because sandy dust infiltrates the laundry room and gets drawn into the dryer intake. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Sandy Oaks service clears the full vent run from dryer to exterior, including the lint trap bypass, which is the section most box-store tools never reach. Sandy Oaks homes with longer vent runs through attics or crawlspaces benefit most, since those bends trap lint and sandy particulate where you can’t see it.

What Sandy Oaks Customers Say
"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."
- 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."
