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 Windcrest, TX
Air duct cleaning in Windcrest, TX typically costs between $450 and $900 for a whole-home system, depending on the number of returns, the condition of the ductwork, and whether you add dryer vent service. Windcrest is a small, fully enclosed planned community inside San Antonio’s city limits, and nearly every home here was built between the 1950s and 1970s. That means our crews see the same aging ranch-home duct systems block after block, which lets us diagnose and quote work faster than in more varied parts of the metro. Call (980) 447-2498 for a written estimate.
Why Windcrest Homes Are Different
Windcrest was developed as a master-planned community in the 1950s through 1970s, and that concentrated building window created something rare: a city where nearly every house shares the same generation of ductwork and the same failure points. Most Windcrest homes are single-story ranch-style builds with low-slope rooflines and attic-mounted air handlers. Many still run on original galvanized sheet-metal or early fiberglass ductboard systems that were installed 50 to 70 years ago. The mastic seals at plenum connections have dried and cracked after decades of extreme thermal cycling in Bexar County attic spaces, which sit well above 120°F in summer. When we work a street in Windcrest, the homes on either side often have near-identical duct layouts and the same chronic weak points: deteriorated seals at the plenum, under-insulated trunk lines, and return paths pulling unfiltered attic air. Experienced crews who know Windcrest can spot these issues quickly because the housing stock is so uniform. The other factor is run time. San Antonio’s humid subtropical climate keeps air conditioners running six to eight months a year, continuously drawing dust, humidity, and biological particulates through the system. And from December through February, mountain juniper pollen from the region’s cedar fever season saturates outdoor air and infiltrates poorly sealed ducts, which makes late-winter cleaning especially noticeable for allergy-sensitive residents in Windcrest.
Our Main Windcrest Services
Windcrest homeowners call us most often for two things: full-system air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. A third service, air duct repair, matters more here than in newer suburbs because so many original systems are still in place. Here is what each involves locally.
Air Duct Cleaning in Windcrest
Air duct cleaning in Windcrest means negative-pressure extraction on the full duct system, including supply and return trunks, branch runs, and the plenum. In Windcrest homes the bigger concern is often what has accumulated over 50-plus years of continuous AC operation: matted dust, construction debris from original builds, and in some cases biological growth where humid attic air has condensed inside poorly insulated trunk lines. Our crews use Rotobrush and Nikro equipment to agitate and extract what is packed onto duct walls. We do not rely on a single access point; the work is assessed per system because Windcrest and older ranch layouts often hide disconnected runs. See the full breakdown at Air Duct Cleaning in Windcrest.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Windcrest
Dryer vent cleaning in Windcrest matters because most of these ranch homes have short horizontal vent runs that exit through an exterior wall, but decades of use leave lint packed at the termination point and along the pipe. Where a flexible foil transition was used, we regularly find partial collapses that restrict airflow. The job removes lint through the full run, clears the exterior hood and flap, and verifies airflow at the termination. We also check for the lint trap bypass pattern that builds inside the dryer cavity itself. Details are on the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Windcrest page.
Air Duct Repair in Windcrest
Air duct repair in Windcrest usually starts with what we find at the plenum. Dried-out mastic at plenum connections is the single most common repair call here, followed by separated branch runs in the attic and crushed or kinked flex sections where original ductboard was replaced piecemeal over the years. Because so many Windcrest homes share the same construction era, our technicians can often identify a repair need before opening the full system. Every repair job includes a written guarantee and a free second visit if the repair does not hold. See Air Duct Repair in Windcrest for scope and coverage.

No. Duct cleaning, dryer vent cleaning, and duct repair are interior or attic-scope services that do not require Windcrest HOA approval, permits, or exterior modifications. The work happens inside your home and within your attic space, so there is nothing to file with the city or an association.
It makes the buildup different. Six to eight months of AC runtime pulls continuous particulate through the system, and cedar fever season from December through February introduces heavy pollen into aging, poorly sealed ducts. In Windcrest’s original 1950s – 1970s ductwork, that combination tends to pack down into matted layers that a standard filter cannot address.
