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.
Fast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Aledo
Air duct cleaning in Aledo, TX typically costs $395 – $685 for a full system on a standard single-family home, and the job takes a scheduled half-day when done to NADCA standards. Not a 45-minute blow-and-go. If you live off FM 1187, in the McDavid Estates area, or down Old Annetta Road, you’re dealing with a dust load that’s different from what a Fort Worth subdivision sees. At Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning, we run one flat price per system, agreed before we start, and we hand you before-and-after photos of your own ducts. Call (737) 727-2314 and a live person picks up.
And yes, we serve all of Aledo, TX. Our Air Duct Cleaning crews cover the entire 76008 zip code, from the ranch-style homes near Aledo High School to the newer builds pushing east toward Walsh Ranch. We’re Aledo duct cleaners who actually show up with professional equipment, not a truck-mounted shop vac and a coupon.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Aledo’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Aledo homeowners don’t have time for vague estimates or four-hour arrival windows. Most of our customers book from their phones between school drop-off and their commute, and they expect to see exactly what they’re paying for. That’s why every Cardinal job operates under The Relay Standard: a live arrival window you can track, before-and-after photo documentation, and a digital invoice payable by link. You know the technician’s name before they open the door. They’re background-checked, uniformed, and they arrive with a written price that doesn’t change at the door.
Omar Haddad leads our Aledo operations, and he’s built the local reputation on one principle: visibility. Not promises. Visibility. When a homeowner off Old Weatherford Road calls us about a return duct that’s never been cleaned since the house was built in 2017, we tell them exactly what the job involves, what it costs, and how long it takes. Then we show them the proof when it’s done.
Our local Aledo reviews mention the same things repeatedly: the tech showed up when the app said he would, the price was the price, and the photos proved the work happened. That’s not marketing. That’s how we run every single job from Bear Creek Ranch to the neighborhoods behind the Aledo Rail Trail.
Vent Cleaning in Aledo
Vent Cleaning in Aledo homes means reaching every supply register and return grille, but the real work happens where you can’t see. A vent cleaning that only wipes the register covers is cosmetic. It doesn’t touch the debris packed into the duct branches that run through your attic or slab. In Aledo, where cedar pollen and pasture dust move through open windows and settle in return runs, a real vent cleaning has to address the entire branch network, not just the visible openings.
Supply and Return Vent Access
Many Aledo homes built in the last 15 years have high ceilings and second-floor runs that are difficult to reach with standard tools. We use Rotobrush whip systems to agitate debris inside supply and return branches, then pull it under negative pressure to a HEPA-filtered collection unit. That means the loosened dust goes into the vacuum, not back into your living room.
What a Proper Vent Cleaning Costs Here
A standard vent cleaning on a single-story Aledo home with 8 – 12 vents typically runs $250 – $400 when done as part of a full system cleaning. If you’re only doing isolated vent work, we’ll quote it flat before we begin. You’ll know the number before any tool leaves the van.
Air Duct Repair in Aledo
Air Duct Repair in Aledo is something many homeowners don’t realize they need until a room won’t cool or the air handler starts pulling high amps. Duct runs in attics around Aledo take real abuse: summer attic temperatures above 130°F cause flex duct to sag and kink, and rodents in rural and semi-rural lots off FM 5 sometimes chew through duct insulation. A repair is not just patching tape. It means finding the actual failure and restoring proper airflow.
Common Repairs We Handle
We see disconnected flex duct at boot connections, crushed returns where storage boxes got stacked on top of the duct, and failed mastic seals at the plenum. Each repair gets a written guarantee. If it fails within a year, we come back free. That’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and it covers every repair we do in Aledo, no exceptions.
Repair Pricing in Aledo
Small to medium air duct repairs in Aledo generally run $180 – $450 depending on access and the length of run involved. Full re-runs of a long return or multiple damaged branches cost more, and we’ll give you the number in writing before any work starts. No per-foot surprises.
Trusted Brands We Service in Aledo
We work on the systems Aledo homes actually have, and we carry filtration products from Aprilaire and Guardsman because those are the brands local builders and HVAC contractors install most. Our equipment fleet includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Abatement Technologies containment units, so whether you have a Trane, Carrier, Lennox, or Goodman system, we’re not learning on your dime. If you need a media filter cabinet or a replacement filter media for an Aprilaire unit, we typically have what’s needed on the truck.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Aledo Homes
- Packed return drops from remodel dust. Homes off Old Annetta Road and around the McDavid area often have drywall dust, sawdust, and paint overspray sitting in the return drop. Builders and remodelers rarely seal return openings during work, so this debris gets pulled deep into the system and stays there for years.
- Cedar and oak pollen accumulation in return ducts. Aledo’s tree canopy is a defining feature, but it means spring pollen loads work into the return side of the HVAC system. On large treed lots east of FM 1187, return ducts collect a coarse, sticky layer that standard filter changes don’t address.
- Lawn and pasture dust in supply branches. There’s no municipal street sweeping in most of Aledo’s newer developments, and the area’s dirt and gravel lanes plus frequent mowing push fine dust into supply ducts. This shows up as gray film on supply registers within months of a cleaning.
- Skipped air handler cabinets. Contractors who quote per vent often skip the air handler cabinet and evaporator coil, which is the single largest debris reservoir in any Aledo home. If the cabinet wasn’t opened, inspected, and cleaned, the job wasn’t finished.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Aledo, TX
Most standard air duct cleanings in Aledo run $395 – $685 for a typical single-family home with one system. Single-story homes with 8 – 12 vents sit at the lower end; two-story homes with dual systems and long branch runs land at the higher end. The price you’re quoted is the price you pay. It covers the full system: supply ducts, return ducts, air handler cabinet, blower compartment, and plenum. If you want video inspection before or after, that’s included, not an add-on. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate on your specific system.
We don’t quote per vent, and we won’t hand you a coupon price that doubles once the tech is inside. One flat price per system, written down, before any work begins. That’s the entire pricing model.
Why Some Quotes Are So Much Cheaper
You’ll see Aledo flyers advertising whole-house duct cleaning for $99 or $149. Those jobs are bait. The technician arrives, runs a shop vac hose into one or two registers, then spends the visit explaining everything that “has” to be added to do it right. By the time they leave, you’ve paid more than our flat price and the ducts were never properly cleaned. A real source-removal job takes hours and professional equipment. That costs what it costs. Anyone who says otherwise is selling something else.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Aledo
Every 3 – 5 years is realistic for most Aledo homes, but homes on large treed lots east of FM 1187 or properties with heavy remodel history may need it every 2 – 3 years. If you have pets that shed, run your system year-round, or live near an unpaved lane, the debris load builds faster. The best way to know is a video inspection, which we include with every quote. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll show you what’s actually in there.
Because per-vent pricing punishes you for having the house you have. A two-story with 18 vents shouldn’t cost double a single-story with 9 when the actual work scales with the system, not the register count. Flat per-system pricing means you know the full cost before we start, and there’s no per-vent upsell once we’re inside. That transparency is the entire reason Cardinal exists.
We run a negative-pressure unit on the main trunk, agitate the branch runs with air whips and a Rotobrush system, and pull all loosened debris to a HEPA-filtered collection point. Then we open and clean the air handler cabinet, blower, and coil. The job takes a scheduled half-day. Anyone claiming a full system clean in under an hour is not doing source removal. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll walk you through the process step by step.
Yes. Every Aledo job includes before-and-after photos of your supply ducts, return ducts, and the air handler cabinet. You’ll see the images on your digital invoice when we finish. No photos, no proof, no exceptions. That’s The Relay Standard, and it’s covered on every single job.
Yes. Dryer Vent Cleaning - Aledo is one of our core services, and we can add it to your duct cleaning visit for a flat fee. Aledo laundry rooms often back up to exterior walls with short runs, but longer runs through interior walls or up through the roof pack lint quickly and become a fire hazard. We’ll tell you if yours needs attention. Call (737) 727-2314 and ask about bundling both jobs.
