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 St. Augustine Beach, FL
Air duct cleaning in St. Augustine Beach typically costs between $450 and $950 for a whole-home system, with most single-family beach cottages and condos landing around $550 to $750. The big variable here is the island itself: this is a barrier-island community where salt air, near-saturated humidity, and constant beach sand combine to load ductwork faster than almost anywhere else in Northeast Florida. If your home sits along A1A or a few streets west of it, and your ducts have never been cleaned, expect the job to take longer and cost toward the upper end of that range. Call (980) 447-2498 and we’ll give you a written price before any work starts.
Why St. Augustine Beach Homes Are Different
We’ve cleaned ducts from Jacksonville to Miami, and St. Augustine Beach jobs stand apart for one reason more than any other: the air itself works against you. This is Anastasia Island, a sliver of land between the Matanzas River and the Atlantic, where humidity rarely drops and the salt in the air never takes a day off. Most of the housing stock dates to the 1970s through 1990s, concrete block beach cottages and low-rise condos running flex duct through unconditioned attics. Those attics bake in summer, and the ducts inside them carry moist coastal air for ten or eleven months of cooling season each year.
The result is predictable. We find flex duct interiors coated in a dense paste of compacted beach sand and moisture, duct tape seals that have turned brittle and peeled from galvanized fittings, and visible mold at the flex duct joints. In the vacation rental corridors along A1A, Beach Boulevard, and the short-term rental pockets behind them, systems run constantly for rotating guests. That load, plus cheap one-inch filters that let fine sand pass through, creates a compounding problem: the ducts load up, airflow drops, the system runs longer to compensate, and the coating inside gets thicker. Permanent residents feel it as weaker airflow and higher electric bills; rental owners feel it as guest complaints about stale air and allergy symptoms.
Our Main St. Augustine Beach Services
Homeowners here most often call us for two reasons: their ducts have never been cleaned and airflow has dropped, or their dryer takes two cycles to dry a load because the vent is packed with lint. We also repair duct systems the salt air has damaged. Here’s what each job involves on the island.
Air Duct Cleaning in St. Augustine Beach
We clean the full duct system using negative-pressure extraction: a powerful vacuum pulls from the main trunk line while agitation tools dislodge the sand, dander, and biofilm bonded to the duct walls. On St. Augustine Beach jobs we almost always find the return-air flex ducts in the worst shape, because that’s where beach sand enters and where coastal moisture lets it pack down into something closer to mortar than dust. The process removes what’s built up, and we show you before-and-after photos of your own ducts. Air Duct Cleaning in St. Augustine Beach covers pricing, timelines, and what to expect.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in St. Augustine Beach
Dryer vents here run short distances in most beach cottages, but that doesn’t make them safer. What it does mean is that a lint blockage puts heat and restricted airflow very close to the living space. In short-term rentals with back-to-back guest turnovers, we routinely pull several pounds of impacted lint from vents that were “cleaned” within the last year. The job includes clearing the full vent run and confirming the exterior termination is functional, not just clearing the lint trap bypass. Dryer Vent Cleaning in St. Augustine Beach explains the full process and what it costs.
Air Duct Repair in St. Augustine Beach
Salt air is brutal on duct components. Tape seals lose adhesion, flex duct jackets split at bends, and galvanized fittings show rust within a few years of installation on the island. We repair and reseal damaged sections so the system holds air again, using professional-grade materials suited to coastal conditions. Every repair we perform includes a written guarantee, and if a covered repair doesn’t hold, we return at no charge. Air Duct Repair in St. Augustine Beach details what we fix and how the guarantee works.

Two things push pricing up in St. Augustine Beach more than anywhere else we work. First, decades of compacted sand and salt-bonded debris mean longer extraction times per vent. Second, attic access on 1970s-era beach cottages is often tight, and working in a hot, humid attic space is slower work done right. Whatever the number, you get it in writing before we start, every time.
