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.

AfterFast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Tice
Air duct cleaning in Tice typically runs $425 – $680 for a full residential system, and most jobs take four to six hours with professional-grade negative-pressure equipment. If you live in Tice, you’re dealing with a specific set of duct problems: post-Ian contamination, relentless humidity, and aging flex duct in manufactured homes and 1960s – 1980s concrete-block houses. We know those systems because we’ve worked on hundreds of them across Lee County since Hurricane Ian changed what “clean ducts” means here. Call (980) 447-2498 for a written estimate before any work begins.
Key Takeaways:
- Full-system residential cleaning in Tice runs $425 – $680 for most homes.
- Post-Ian homes often need a video inspection first; silt and mold hide beyond the registers.
- Every tech is background-checked, photo-badged, and introduced by name before arrival.
- One written price per system, agreed before the van shows up. No per-vent games.
Why Linden Air Duct Cleaning Is Tice’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Tice homeowners call us because we’ve done the homework on what Hurricane Ian did to this community’s ductwork. The storm pushed water into attic spaces and crawl areas across Lee County, and much of Tice’s housing stock, older concrete-block homes and manufactured units from the 1960s through the 1980s, had original flexible duct that sat soaked for days. We’ve cleaned enough of those systems to know where the silt settles, where the mold starts, and what needs to be replaced versus what can be saved. That local read saves you money.
Every job starts with a written price before we touch a register. That’s not a promotion; it’s how we’ve operated since 2004 as part of the Threshold Group family. Marcus Veale leads our crew, and he’s built the team around a simple rule: the person at your door is the person whose name and photo you already saw on your phone. Threshold Verified means background-checked, identity-verified, and photo-badged at the door, every single time. We know opening your home to a technician is a real decision. We act like it.
Our response time to Tice is usually one to three business days for standard cleanings. Video inspection jobs can be scheduled sooner when a homeowner suspects storm contamination. When you call (980) 447-2498, a live person answers. Not a voicemail. Not a queue. A person who can book your job and answer your questions in one call.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Tice
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Tice means pulling accumulated dust, silt, and mold from supply and return duct runs, the air handler, and the blower assembly. In this part of Lee County, a routine cleaning often turns up more than dust. We routinely find belly-board debris in manufactured homes, insulation fragments blown loose during Ian, and active mold growth on flex-duct liners that have never been opened since the storm. A full residential system in Tice runs $425 – $680 depending on the number of returns, accessibility of the air handler, and whether a video inspection is included.
Supply and Return Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts deliver conditioned air to your rooms. Return ducts pull air back to the air handler. In Tice’s manufactured homes, underskirted duct runs collect ground moisture and road grit that new construction rarely sees. We clean both directions with agitation tools and negative-pressure extraction, and we finish with a before-and-after camera pass so you see the result.
Full System Cleaning With Video Inspection
We recommend a video inspection for any Tice home that took water during Ian, even if the visible damage was patched years ago. The camera goes into the main trunk line and branch runs. What we see determines what we clean. You get the footage. No mystery work, no upcharge after the fact.
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Tice
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Tice covers offices, small retail, churches, and multi-unit properties along the Ortiz Avenue corridor and surrounding blocks. These buildings share the same post-Ian contamination profile as Tice homes, but they add another layer: high occupancy, long runtime on the air handler, and filters that don’t get changed often enough. A commercial cleaning in Tice typically runs $680 – $1,400 depending on square footage, number of rooftop or closet air handlers, and the amount of duct access available.
Retail and Office Systems
Businesses along Palm Beach Boulevard and Ortiz Avenue call us when tenant complaints about dust or odor point to the ducts. We work around your hours, including early morning or after-close scheduling, so the work doesn’t interrupt your operation. Each job gets the same written-price promise as a residential call.
Church and Multi-Unit Properties
Sanctuary and fellowship hall systems run hard on Sundays and sit dark the rest of the week. Humidity settles in. Dust accumulates in the return plenum. We clean full systems, replace or advise on filter upgrades, and document everything with camera footage for your maintenance records.
Trusted Brands We Service in Tice
We run Rotobrush and Nikro negative-pressure equipment on every Tice job, and we stock replacement filters and media from Honeywell and Aprilaire for common residential setups in the area. For commercial accounts, we work with Abatement Technologies products when source-removal or enhanced filtration is specified. Most parts for standard Tice homes are on the truck when we arrive, which means fewer return visits and less downtime. If your system takes a Guardsman or specialty media, tell us before the visit and we’ll have it staged locally.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Tice Homes
- Post-Ian silt and insulation debris: Homes that took roof or wall damage in September 2022 often have storm debris packed into the return plenum and branch ducts. Owners who patched the shingles never opened the ductwork. We’ve pulled silt and blown insulation from systems that looked fine from the registers.
- Mold in flex-duct liners: Six months a year of 140°F attic heat plus river-corridor humidity from the Caloosahatchee means condensation inside attic-routed flex duct. The liner holds that moisture. Mold follows. This is the most common reason Tice homeowners finally call us.
- Belly-board duct contamination in manufactured homes: Underskirted duct runs under mobile homes collect ground moisture, road grit off unpaved driveways, and sometimes pests. Cleaning only the visible register covers the problem. The belly board is where the real contamination sits.
- Blower motor and coil buildup: We clean the blower assembly and evaporator coil on every full-system job. In older Tice systems, a mat of dust and mold on the coil reduces airflow by a third or more. Homeowners notice the difference immediately after cleaning.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Tice
Tice sits in the Caloosahatchee River corridor with ambient humidity loading year-round, and attic temperatures routinely exceed 140°F for six months of the year, which drives condensation inside attic-routed flex duct. Add post-Ian flood and wind intrusion that soaked duct interiors across Lee County, and you have exactly the conditions mold needs. Most Tice systems have never been cleaned since landfall. That’s why we recommend a video inspection first: it shows whether the liner is already colonized before we quote a cleaning versus a liner replacement. Call (980) 447-2498 and we’ll schedule the camera check.
We give you before-and-after camera footage of your own ducts on every full-system job. You’ll see the register, the trunk line, and the blower assembly before and after. If the video doesn’t show a visible improvement, you don’t accept the job as complete. That’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise in practice: if the work isn’t right, we make it right, in writing, on every job.
Most low-price quotes are per-vent pricing. The ads say $49 or $79 per vent, then the tech counts every supply and return plus the trunk line, and a $400 job becomes $900 on your driveway. We quote one flat price per system, written before work begins. The number we give you is the number on the invoice. That’s it. Call (980) 447-2498 and compare the written quote to any per-vent estimate you’ve received; the difference is usually obvious in five minutes.
For most Tice homes, every three to four years is realistic, given the unpaved-road dust loading, wood heat in some of the older manufactured units, and the post-Ian contamination profile we still see. Homes that took flood or roof water during Ian should have a video inspection once, even if they never clean again, because the storm residue doesn’t go anywhere on its own. If you have severe allergies, multiple pets, or a manufactured home with belly-board ducts, lean toward every two to three years.
You’ll get the technician’s name and photo sent to you before the visit, and that tech shows a photo ID badge at the door, every time. Every person on our crew is background-checked and identity-verified under the Threshold Standard. Marcus Veale and the team don’t send subcontractors without notice. The person you expect is the person who arrives. If you want to confirm who’s scheduled for your Tice job, call (980) 447-2498 and ask.
