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.

Why Tequesta Homes Are Different
Tequesta sits right where the Loxahatchee River meets the Intracoastal, and that means humidity is a constant. Coastal air pushes salt and moisture into ductwork, and in homes near the river, we regularly find dust caked onto evaporator coils and inside return plenums. Homes here skew older too. A lot of the housing stock along Tequesta Drive and Country Club Drive dates to the 1970s and 1980s, which means original duct runs, flex duct that has sagged over time, and return air paths that were undersized from day one. When a home has been through decades of South Florida wet seasons, the interior of the ducts often shows it: rust on register grilles, microbial spotting on insulation, and a fine gray film that keeps reappearing on furniture no matter how often you dust.
The local geography matters in another way. Tequesta is compact, but it sits across both Palm Beach and Martin counties, and some HOAs – particularly in gated communities – ask for proof of insurance and licensing before a technician parks a vehicle on the property. We handle that paperwork before arrival. What we have learned doing duct work in Tequesta is that the job is rarely just the ducts. It is usually the ducts plus a clogged dryer vent plus a coil that has never been cleaned, and the homes that address all three at once are the ones where the air smells right afterward.
Our Main Tequesta Services
Most Tequesta homeowners call us for one of two things: a dryer vent that is taking forever to dry clothes, or air ducts that have not been touched in years. Here is what each job looks like in this area.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Tequesta
Dryer vents in Tequesta clog faster than most homeowners expect, especially in older homes where the vent run is long or makes a few turns before it exits the wall. Lint builds up, the dryer runs hotter, and drying times double. We run a Rotobrush through the full vent line and confirm airflow at the exterior cap. If you have not had yours checked in the last year, it is worth a look. See our full approach on the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Tequesta page.
Air Duct Cleaning in Tequesta
Air duct cleaning in Tequesta means pulling the registers, agitating the interior walls of the supply and return lines, and running a Nikro HEPA vacuum in negative-pressure mode so debris goes into the unit instead of back into your living room. Older homes along the river usually carry more dust and sometimes construction debris from past renovations. We quote one flat price for the whole system before work starts. Details are on the Air Duct Cleaning in Tequesta page.
HVAC Cleaning in Tequesta
Your air handler and evaporator coil collect the same humid, salty air that flows through your ducts. We clean the blower wheel, the coil, and the drain pan, which helps the system move air and keeps the pan from turning into a breeding ground for gunk. In Tequesta’s climate, this is the difference between an AC that keeps up in August and one that struggles. We document everything with before-and-after photos.

Two things push the price up in Tequesta: a larger-than-counted vent run (common in older custom homes), and buildup so heavy that we need extra time on the coil and drain pan. You will always get a written price before we touch a duct, and that number will not change at the door. That is our standard, and it is the reason most Tequesta homeowners get a straight answer on the first call.
