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 Westgate, FL
Air duct cleaning in Westgate, FL is a different job than it is almost anywhere else in Palm Beach County. The housing stock here is older concrete block construction with attics that hold heat and moisture in ways that accelerate mold and debris buildup inside ductwork. We’re Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning, and we work throughout Westgate with written pricing and a 365-Day Done Right Promise on every job. Call (469) 972-3151 for a free estimate and an honest conversation about what’s actually inside your ducts.
Why Westgate Homes Are Different
Westgate is built mostly on 1960s and 70s CBS homes, a large share of them rentals. That matters for ductwork because rental turnover rarely includes HVAC service. Tenants change, the ducts don’t get touched, and five or ten years pass before anyone looks inside. Technicians here routinely open systems and find layered pet dander from multiple prior occupants, pest debris, and visible mold growth, with no record of any cleaning ever having been done. It’s not neglect by any one person. It’s just what happens in a high-turnover rental corridor where property management doesn’t have duct service in its unit-flip checklist.
The climate compounds it. Palm Beach County humidity means AC systems in Westgate run nearly every month of the year, and attic temperatures regularly pass 140°F in summer. Low-pitch rooflines leave attic spaces cramped and poorly ventilated, so heat and moisture sit around the duct runs. Original flex duct sags, gaps open at connections, and the duct liner itself degrades faster than in most of the country. Any dust that settles inside becomes a surface for mold. That’s the reality behind most Westgate duct jobs we take on.
For homeowners who’ve bought a Westgate rental and moved in, the first duct inspection can be a surprise. Systems that look fine from the vent covers tell a different story once a camera goes in. We see it often enough that it shapes how we price and how we schedule: Westgate jobs tend to run longer and need more thorough negative-air extraction than homes in newer developments. We plan for that from the first phone call.
Our Main Westgate Services
Westgate homeowners call us most about two jobs: cleaning the ducts that move conditioned air through the house, and clearing the dryer vent that exhausts heat and lint to the outside. Both services have their own page with full pricing and process details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Westgate
Duct cleaning in Westgate almost always means dealing with mold colonization and biological debris, not just dust. The combination of 140°F attic heat, sustained humidity, and aging flex duct creates conditions where mold grows on any organic material that settles inside. Our approach uses Nikro negative-pressure units to pull contaminants out while Rotobrush agitation dislodges debris from the duct walls, so nothing loosened drifts back into the living space. If you suspect years of deferred maintenance, Air Duct Cleaning in Westgate covers what the job involves and what it costs.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Westgate
Dryer vents in Westgate clog faster than they should because the lint that passes through is often moist from the same humidity that affects the ducts. Lint collects, hardens, and restricts airflow until the dryer starts taking two cycles per load. In rental properties, a vent that hasn’t been touched in years can be dangerously packed. We clear the full vent run and confirm airflow at the outside termination. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Westgate has the full scope, including how we handle long or unusual vent runs common in older CBS homes.

Westgate pricing runs toward the middle and upper end of these ranges for two reasons.

You’ll always get a written price before any work starts, covering the entire system, so there’s no door-step revision.

What Westgate 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."
