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 Melissa, TX
Air duct cleaning in Melissa, TX typically costs between $450 and $900 for a full system on a 2,500 to 4,000 sq ft two-story home, with most jobs completed in a single visit. What makes Melissa different is the housing stock: nearly every home here was built after 2010, and builder-grade ductwork in these production homes often carries construction debris from day one. If you’re noticing dust settling back on furniture within days of cleaning, or your HVAC runs constantly through the Blackland Prairie summer, call us at (980) 447-2498 for a straightforward assessment.
Why Melissa Homes Are Different
Melissa is one of the fastest-growing cities in Collin County, and that growth changes the duct cleaning job in ways you won’t see in older suburbs. The overwhelming majority of homes here are large two-story tract builds from D.R. Horton, Lennar, and First Texas Homes, constructed during the 2010s and 2020s. Those homes have long duct runs serving 2,500 to 4,000 square feet of conditioned space, and the builder-grade ducts were frequently left open and unprotected while drywall was hung, sanded, and finished.
The result is a contamination problem owners often discover only after move-in: drywall dust, fiberglass insulation fibers, and wood particulate sitting inside the ductwork from the day the keys changed hands. Marcus Veale and our team see this constantly in subdivisions that are still being built out street by street. A family living in a finished home on one block may have an active dirt-lot construction zone as their immediate neighbor, which means raw Blackland Prairie clay dust, concrete dust, and lumber debris blow directly toward their home while it’s occupied. That’s a rolling contamination cycle unique to Melissa’s still-expanding footprint.
On top of that, North Texas summers keep HVAC systems running nearly continuously from May through September. The fine black clay dust from surrounding farmland and active construction sites infiltrates homes through gaps in the new-construction envelope, and the constant air movement accelerates how quickly that dust accumulates inside the ducts.
Our Main Melissa Services
Homeowners in Melissa most often call us about three things: cleaning the ductwork that came dirty from the builder, clearing dryer vents that are clogging in new laundry rooms, and repairing ducts that were damaged during construction or have since separated. Each service has its own page with pricing and what to expect.
Air Duct Cleaning in Melissa
The core job here is removing construction debris, not just household dust. In a new Melissa home, our negative-pressure extraction setup pulls drywall dust, insulation fibers, and wood particulate out of the entire duct system, including the long runs that serve second-story bedrooms. We also address the fine Blackland clay dust that settles through the return registers during dry, windy months when neighboring lots are under construction. Full details on pricing and what’s included are on the Air Duct Cleaning in Melissa page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Melissa
New construction in Melissa means dryer vents were run through walls and sometimes roof lines by crews under pressure to close out homes quickly. Lint accumulates fast in these long, multi-bend runs, and a clogged vent is a fire hazard. Our dryer vent cleaning clears the full run with a Rotobrush system and verifies airflow at the exterior termination point. What we see often in Melissa is lint traps that bypass properly but vents that were never cleaned after the builder’s first test cycle. The Dryer Vent Cleaning in Melissa page covers pricing and scope.
Air Duct Repair in Melissa
Ductwork in fast-built production homes gets stepped on, pulled, and sometimes improperly sealed during construction. Homeowners find out when one upstairs bedroom stays hot in August or when the utility bill climbs and the airflow doesn’t match the thermostat. Our repair work includes sealing disconnected joints, patching punctured runs, and replacing damaged sections, always with a written guarantee and a free second visit if a covered repair fails. The Air Duct Repair in Melissa page has the specifics.

What pushes price up in Melissa is the size of the home and how much construction debris is inside the ducts. Newer two-story floor plans mean longer runs and more registers than a typical older single-story house, and a system that has never been cleaned since the builder closed it out takes longer to do properly. Before any work starts, we put the full price in writing. No surprise invoices at the end, and no per-vent add-ons.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Melissa
Most Melissa appointments are scheduled within two to four business days. New-construction areas keep our local crews busy, so late spring and summer fill up faster. Call (980) 447-2498 for the next available slot in your neighborhood.
Yes. Homes built by production builders routinely have drywall dust, insulation fibers, and wood particulate inside the ducts before the first owner moves in. A post-construction cleaning is a common first-service call in Melissa, and the difference in the air afterward is immediate.
No, duct cleaning is interior work and does not require HOA approval in any Melissa subdivision we’ve worked in. The only time a conversation comes up is when we need to access a roof-mounted dryer vent termination, and even then, the work itself is not restricted.

What Melissa 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.
