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 Scenic Oaks, TX
Air duct cleaning in Scenic Oaks runs between $380 and $560 for most homes here, and the reason is specific to this part of Bexar County: the Ashe juniper pollen load rolls through every December, and attic duct systems bake in Hill Country heat all summer. We’re Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning, and we work with a written price before any work starts, so you know the number before we touch a single vent. If you’re looking for someone who answers the phone and shows up on time, call (469) 972-3151.
Why Scenic Oaks Homes Are Different
Scenic Oaks sits deep in the cedar belt of the Bexar County Hill Country, and that location changes what we find inside ductwork. Homes here are surrounded by Ashe juniper, and from late December through January, the pollen count is among the worst in the United States. That fine, pale-yellow pollen gets pulled into return-air boots and plenums, then baked into a dense cake by the time February arrives. In our experience, Scenic Oaks homes show a pollen residue that simply does not appear in homes twenty miles south in the San Antonio floor.
The housing stock adds a second layer. Most homes were built from the late 1980s through the 2010s, on slab foundations with attic-run duct systems. Attic temperatures in this terrain regularly exceed 140°F in summer, and that heat degrades flexible duct liners faster than in lower-elevation suburbs. Seam gaps open up, and those gaps pull in limestone dust and pollen all year. That is why a post-cedar-season cleaning in February or March makes a genuine difference here, not a one-time upsell.
Our Main Scenic Oaks Services
Two services cover the majority of what Scenic Oaks homeowners call us for, and each has its own page so you can read the details before dialing.
Air Duct Cleaning in Scenic Oaks
This job means pulling the cedar pollen, limestone dust, and debris out of the full ductwork system: supply runs, return runs, boots, and the plenum. We use negative-air extraction, which means a vacuum unit keeps the system under suction while rotary brush agitation loosens what is stuck to the duct walls. That matters in Scenic Oaks because the pollen cake that forms after cedar season does not come out with a simple blow-and-go. Read the full breakdown on our Air Duct Cleaning in Scenic Oaks page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Scenic Oaks
A dryer vent in Scenic Oaks can clog faster than you would expect, and the reason is not always lint from the dryer itself. Limestone dust and cedar pollen drift into exterior vent hoods, and when combined with the fine lint from every load, the duct narrows quickly. We clear the full run from the dryer to the exterior, including a lint trap bypass, which means we pull the lint screen housing aside and clean the passage the lint travels through, not just the visible duct. See the full scope on our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Scenic Oaks page.

No. Duct and dryer vent cleaning are interior maintenance and do not require HOA approval in Scenic Oaks. If your dryer vent exits through the roof, access is from the interior or a ladder at the exterior vent point, and no exterior modification is made. Call (469) 972-3151 if your HOA has a specific question; we can walk them through what the job involves.
Schedule it just after the peak, which means late January through March. That is when the pollen load that accumulated through December and January has settled into the ductwork, and before spring turnover stirs it back through the house. For an exact quote, call (469) 972-3151; estimates are free.

What Scenic Oaks Customers Say
"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."
- 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."
