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 Sarasota, FL
Air duct cleaning in Sarasota costs between $350 and $650 for a typical single-family home, and the job usually takes four to six hours. What makes Sarasota work different from nearly anywhere else in Florida is the combination of aging flex-duct housing stock and Gulf Coast humidity that sits on idle systems for months at a time. If your ducts haven’t been opened in a few seasons, what’s inside them almost certainly isn’t just dust. Call (980) 447-2498 for a written quote before any work begins.
Why Sarasota Homes Are Different
Sarasota’s residential stock was largely built out between the 1960s and 1980s, and in that era flexible fiberglass-lined duct was the Florida standard. Four decades later, that liner is a problem. It deteriorates, sheds fine particulates into the air stream, and in Sarasota’s dew-point climate it becomes a near-ideal mold substrate. Ductwork here runs through unconditioned attic spaces where summer temperatures routinely pass 140°F, which accelerates flex-duct joint failures and debris accumulation faster than the same system would degrade in a northern climate.
The bigger issue is seasonal vacancy. Sarasota has one of the highest concentrations of snowbird and seasonal residents of any metro in the country. When owners leave for the summer and set thermostats to 80°F or higher, the system stops moving air and the Gulf Coast humidity colonizes idle ductwork. Mold and microbial growth go unchecked for four to six months. Every October and November, tens of thousands of returning residents walk back into homes with air distribution systems that have been quietly festering all summer. The return isn’t just a cleaning job; it’s often the first honest look at what the ducts have been holding.
Our Main Sarasota Services
Sarasota homeowners call us most about three things: cleaning out what the humidity and idle summers left behind, clearing dryer vents in homes where the run is long and the lint trap has been bypassed, and repairing duct runs that the attic heat has pulled apart. Each service has its own page with full pricing and specifics.
Air Duct Cleaning in Sarasota
Most Sarasota homes need a full negative-pressure extraction of the supply and return duct system, including the plenum and all accessible flex runs. After a summer of 80°F-plus attic heat and standing humidity, what comes out is rarely just dust: expect degraded fiberglass liner, microbial growth, and construction debris from decades past. We inspect before we clean and tell you honestly if the ducts are too far gone to benefit from a cleaning. See the full breakdown on our Air Duct Cleaning in Sarasota page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Sarasota
Sarasota dryer vents run long, hot, and often through unconditioned attic space, and the lint trap bypass many older homes have means the vent itself loads up far faster than manufacturers anticipate. We run a rotating brush the full length of the vent, verify airflow at the exterior termination, and document the whole thing with before-and-after photos. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Sarasota has the full details and local pricing.
Air Duct Repair in Sarasota
In slabs-on-grade homes with ducts in 140°F attics, flex-duct joints pull loose and return air leaks pull attic heat into the system. We locate the separations, remove damaged runs, and rebuild connections so the system holds pressure. Every repair is backed in writing, and if a covered repair doesn’t hold, we return at no charge. See Air Duct Repair in Sarasota for what we check and what it costs.

What pushes Sarasota pricing toward the higher end is the age of the ductwork and the severity of the humidity damage. A 1980s Palmer Ranch home that hasn’t been serviced in a decade will take longer and need more than a 2015 build that’s been cleaned every few years. Whatever the number, you get it in writing before we start, and that number does not change when the job is done.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Sarasota
We work across Sarasota County, from the barrier-island condos of Siesta Key to the planned communities east of the Trail. The older flex-duct stock in The Meadows and Palmer Ranch, the mid-century builds near downtown, and the waterfront properties along Phillippi Creek each have their own failure patterns, and we treat them accordingly.

What Sarasota Customers Say
"Tech arrived with a badge and a printed sheet of what he'd be doing. Ran a camera through the main trunk before and after so I could see the dust difference. Vents smell cleaner already."
- Gina R."Priced by the system, not by the vent, and he told me up front. No pressure to add the sanitizer and I said no without any fuss."
- Faith N."We had construction dust packed into every register after a remodel. They sealed off the returns, used negative pressure, and left the floors cleaner than they found them."
- Paul E.
