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 Manor
Air duct cleaning in Manor typically runs $450 – $850 for a full system clean of the supply and return sides, with vent cleaning alone falling between $200 – $350 depending on register count and access.

If you live in Shadowglen, Shadow Creek, Presidential Glen, or anywhere else in the 78653 zip code, our crew knows your streets, your attic layouts, and the specific duct problems this part of east Travis County throws at homeowners. Call (980) 447-2498 for an exact quote before anyone steps through your door.
Why Linden Air Duct Cleaning Is Manor’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Manor homeowners call us because we do something most duct cleaners won’t: we tell you exactly who is coming to your door before they arrive. Every technician is background-checked, identity-verified, and their name and photo are sent to you in advance. When they knock, they’re wearing a clean, marked uniform and they’ll show you a photo ID badge at the door. That’s the Threshold Standard, and it’s been our operating rule since 2004 as part of the Threshold Group family.
We also put the price in writing before any work begins. Not an estimate scribbled on a notepad after the fact. A written number you approve first. And every repair we make is covered by a written guarantee, with a free second visit if it doesn’t hold. If you’ve been burned by a low coupon price that ballooned once the van pulled up, you’ll notice the difference immediately.
Marcus Veale, who leads our Austin dispatch and scheduling for Manor jobs, keeps crews running on a tight schedule. Whether you’re in a 2016 build in Shadowglen or an early-2010s home off FM 973, response time matters when you’re dusting furniture every other day. We get to Manor fast because we know the area and we plan our routes to minimize your wait.
Vent Cleaning in Manor
Vent cleaning in Manor means removing the accumulated debris from your supply registers, return grilles, and the boots that connect them to the duct runs. In most Manor homes we clean, those boots are packed with the same drywall dust and overspray residue from the original construction, sealed in place when the certificate of occupancy was signed. A full vent cleaning job in Manor runs $200 – $350 depending on how many registers your home has and whether they’re floor-mounted or ceiling-mounted.
Supply Register Cleaning
Your supply registers are where conditioned air enters each room, and in Manor’s volume-built homes they’re often the most visibly dirty part of the system. We remove each register, clean the boot underneath with agitation tools, and vacuum out whatever has settled there. If you see dust streaking on your walls or furniture near floor registers, that’s supply-side debris circulating.
Return Grille Cleaning
The return side pulls air back into your system, and in Manor homes it also pulls in Blackland Prairie clay dust and seasonal pollen that settles on the filter side. We clean each return grille and the immediate duct section behind it, which is where a lot of oversized debris collects. A clogged return makes your blower work harder and shortens filter life.
Ductwork Cleaning in Manor
Ductwork cleaning in Manor goes deeper than registers: it’s the full interior cleaning of the supply and return trunk lines and branch runs, using negative-pressure extraction with HEPA filtration. For a typical Manor tract home of 1,800 – 2,600 square feet, this runs $450 – $850 for the complete system. We use professional-grade Rotobrush and Nikro equipment, which means the agitation is mechanical and the collection is sealed, not blown into your attic.
Supply and Return Duct Runs
Most Manor homes we service have flex duct routed through unconditioned attics that hit 150°F or more in summer. That heat bakes construction debris onto the duct liner and degrades the tape seals at joints. We clean both supply and return runs, not just the trunks you can see from the access panel, because pollen and clay dust settle everywhere.
Full System Cleaning
When we do a full system cleaning, we cover the supply side, return side, boots, registers, and the air handler cabinet. For Manor homeowners with allergies or homes that were never cleaned post-construction, this is the service that actually moves the needle on indoor air quality. The price is agreed in writing before we start, so there’s no surprise invoice at the end.
Trusted Brands We Service in Manor
We work on all major duct and HVAC configurations, and we stock filters and air-quality products from Honeywell and Aprilaire that fit the systems most common in Manor’s newer subdivisions. If your flex duct is Trane-adjacent or your air handler is a Lennox or Carrier, that’s not a problem. We also use Abatement Technologies filtration equipment on jobs where construction debris or heavy pollen loading requires a finer capture point. When we need parts for an air duct repair on a Manor job, we typically have what we need on the truck, which keeps the visit to one trip instead of a callback.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Manor Homes
- Construction debris sealed in from the original build. Shadowglen and Shadow Creek homes went up fast, and post-construction duct cleanout was routinely skipped before handover. We regularly pull compacted drywall dust and overspray residue from supply boots that haven’t been touched since the keys changed hands.
- Degraded flex duct tape in hot attics. Manor attics routinely exceed 150°F in the summer, which bakes the adhesive on builder-grade foil tape until it fails. Once a joint separates, your system pulls in raw attic air, including clay dust and insulation fibers.
- Cedar and oak pollen buildup in return ducts. Manor sits in the Blackland Prairie zone where cedar season runs December through February and oak peaks in March and April. Those allergens load into the system continuously, and a basic filter can’t catch everything.
- Cracked duct boot seals from shifting slab foundations. Expansive clay soils move seasonally in east Travis County, and we see boot seals cracked at floor registers more often in Manor than on the limestone-heavy west side of Austin. A cracked seal means conditioned air leaks into the crawlspace or fill dirt instead of your room.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Manor, TX
A full system air duct cleaning in Manor runs $450 – $850 for a typical 1,800 – 2,600 square foot home. Vent cleaning alone runs $200 – $350. What moves you within that range? The number of registers, whether your home has one air handler or two, how accessible your attic runs are, and how long the system has gone without cleaning. If it’s never been touched since your build date, expect us to spend more time on agitation than a routine maintenance clean would take. Every quote is written before any work starts, and estimates are free. Call (980) 447-2498 and you’ll get a real number, not a teaser price.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Manor
Yes, and that’s the norm for Manor, not the exception. Your ducts were installed on an active construction site and almost never professionally cleaned before the certificate of occupancy was issued. That means the original drywall dust, insulation fibers, and spray-foam particulate are still in your system, now five or six years into accumulation with no prior cleaning. Call (980) 447-2498 for an accurate assessment of what’s actually in your ducts.
It restricts airflow, forces your blower to work harder, and shortens the life of your filters. Over time, the debris bakes onto the duct liner in 150°F+ attic heat and degrades the tape and liner integrity until the system starts shedding into your supply air. That’s dust on your furniture an hour after the air handler kicks on.
Two reasons. First, Manor’s housing stock is overwhelmingly 2010s – 2020s volume-built tract homes where post-construction cleanout was skipped. Second, the Blackland Prairie clay soil here shifts slab foundations seasonally, cracking duct boot seals in ways that are less common on the limestone-heavy west side. Both factors mean more debris enters the system and more leaks let contaminated attic air in.
It won’t eliminate pollen allergies, but it removes the pollen load already trapped in your ductwork and improves overall airflow and filter performance. Manor’s cedar season runs December through February and oak peaks in March and April, so if your system has years of accumulated pollen, a clean starts you at zero instead of compounding the problem. For an exact quote, call (980) 447-2498.
Builders in Manor’s rapid subdivision phases should have performed a full post-construction duct clean and a seal verification before certificates of occupancy were issued. In practice, that step was routinely skipped. That’s why we recommend a camera inspection on any Manor home that hasn’t been touched since the build date. Call us and we’ll show you what’s actually in there.
