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 Arlington, VA
Air duct cleaning in Arlington runs between $450 and $1,100 for a complete system on a typical 3 – 4 bedroom home, and the job usually takes 4 to 8 hours. Arlington homes carry a dust load you won’t find in most of the region, and that’s before we get into what decades of construction work near AT&T Stadium left behind. If you’re in a ranch or split-level built between 1960 and 1990, chances are the ducts have never been professionally touched. Call (980) 447-2498 and we’ll give you a written price before any work begins.
Why Arlington Homes Are Different
Arlington’s building boom from the 1960s through the 1980s produced thousands of tract homes with original fiberglass duct board or first-generation flex duct. Much of that material is now 40 to 50 years old. Duct board crumbles at the edges. Flex duct sags between strapping points, creating low pockets where debris settles and never moves. The air handler pulls whatever is in those pockets straight past the filter and into the living space.
Then there’s the climate. Arlington’s central air runs from roughly April through October, often non-stop through 100°F stretches, and the heat cycles on again during winter cold snaps. The system almost never rests. That means a constant stream of air passing through the ducts, carrying the fine, airborne dust that rises from the Blackland Prairie clay during summer droughts. Return grilles in Arlington clog faster than in most markets we see, and that heavier dust load means the intervals between cleanings matter more here.
Our Main Arlington Services
These are the three jobs Arlington homeowners call us about most. Each has its own Arlington page with pricing, timelines, and exactly what the work covers.
Air Duct Cleaning in Arlington
We run professional-grade negative-pressure extraction through the full supply and return sides of the system, pulling the accumulated dust, construction debris, and pet hair out of the ductwork rather than just brushing it loose. In Arlington, we regularly remove gray concrete and drywall powder from return plenums in homes near Collins Street and Randol Mill Road, sediment tied directly to the AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Field construction cycles. Full details and pricing are on the Air Duct Cleaning in Arlington page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Arlington
Lint clogs happen faster here because Arlington homes run dryers year-round against the same North Texas dust load that fills the HVAC ducts. We clean the full run from the dryer connection to the exterior vent cap, clearing the lint trap bypass and checking for bird nests, kinks, and crushed sections. A blocked dryer vent is a fire risk, full stop. The Dryer Vent Cleaning in Arlington page has the full breakdown of what we check and why.
Air Duct Repair in Arlington
Older Arlington duct board and flex duct fails in predictable ways: separated joints, crushed runs, collapsed sections, and return plenums that have pulled away from the wall. We repair or replace the damaged sections, seal the connections, and put the repair in writing with our 365-Day Done Right Promise behind it. If the repair doesn’t hold, we come back at no charge. See the Air Duct Repair in Arlington page for specifics on what we fix and how we price it.

|---|---|
| Full system air duct cleaning (3 – 4 bed home) | $450 – $1,100 |

What pushes a job toward the top of those ranges in Arlington is access. Crawl spaces here run tight, attic trusses sit low over the flex duct, and systems in mid-century slab foundations often route through narrow chases. The price we write is the price you pay, one flat number per system agreed before the work starts, never per vent and never adjusted at the door.

No, air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning don’t require permits or HOA approval anywhere in Arlington. It’s a non-invasive interior cleaning job. If a repair requires opening drywall or working in a shared wall, that’s different, but we’ll tell you before anything starts.
The combination of 40- to 50-year-old ductboard in mid-century tract homes, near year-round HVAC use, Blackland Prairie dust, and years of stadium construction debris from AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Field makes Arlington ducts fill faster than most of the region. Homes near the stadium district carry an especially heavy concrete and drywall sediment load.

What Arlington 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.
