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 Brentwood, CA
Air duct cleaning in Brentwood, CA typically costs $320 – $540 for a whole-home system, and most jobs are done in half a day. Brentwood’s mix of 1990s stucco tract homes, newer east-side builds, and older downtown houses means no two duct systems look the same. We’re Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Relay Home Co. family, and we quote one written price before any work starts, then back the job with a full-year promise. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate.
Why Brentwood Homes Are Different
Brentwood’s warm, dry summers and fall harvest winds put real dust into the air, and that dust ends up in ductwork. Homes off Balfour Road and around the Garin Ranch area sit closer to open farmland, so they pull in more airborne soil than houses tucked into the older Sycamore neighborhood. The housing stock itself varies a lot: 1980s and 1990s builds with original sheet-metal ducting, 2000s homes with flexible insulated runs, and newer Solaris and Trilogy communities where tighter construction means less outdoor air infiltration but more trapped pet dander and cooking grease inside the system.
What that means practically: a standard 1,800-square-foot Brentwood home with one return and original flex ducts will usually need a straightforward cleaning with negative-pressure extraction, which means loosened debris goes straight into our Nikro HEPA vacuum instead of back into your living room. But an older downtown Brentwood house with rigid ducts, no access panels, and a 25-year-old furnace can require extra containment setup and longer run time. We quote those differences honestly before we touch a single vent.
Key Takeaways
- Most Brentwood whole-home air duct cleanings run $320 – $540.
- Harvest-season dust, new-home construction debris, and pet hair are the three biggest local culprits.
- Older rigid-duct systems in downtown Brentwood take longer than newer flexible-duct homes.
- Every job comes with a written price, before-and-after photos, and a 365-day guarantee.

Our Main Brentwood Services
Most Brentwood homeowners call us for one of three jobs: dryer vent cleaning, air duct cleaning, or a full HVAC system clean. Each one has its own page with pricing, local details, and what to expect on the day.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Brentwood
Dryer vents clog faster in Brentwood than you’d expect. The same fine dust that settles into ducts also lines a dryer exhaust, and after a few hundred loads it creates a serious fire hazard. Laundry rooms in many Brentwood track homes vent straight up through the roof, which catches lint on every bend. We clean the full run from dryer to exterior cap, verify airflow with a meter, and leave before-and-after photos. Full local pricing and scope: Dryer Vent Cleaning in Brentwood.
Air Duct Cleaning in Brentwood
A full air duct cleaning in Brentwood covers supply ducts, return ducts, the plenum, and registers. We run a Rotobrush rotary brush through every accessible run, then pull negative pressure with a Nikro HEPA vacuum so dust never re-enters the house. Pet owners in the Persimmon and Garin neighborhoods, allergy sufferers, and anyone who’s just finished a remodel should read the full page. Air Duct Cleaning in Brentwood has local pricing and prep details.
HVAC Cleaning in Brentwood
HVAC cleaning in Brentwood means cleaning the furnace, evaporator coil, blower motor, and condensate line, not just the ducts. A dusty blower re-contaminates clean ducts within weeks, so the two jobs belong together. Homes near Brentwood’s agricultural edges deal with more coil fouling than the rest of the city, and we see it in reduced airflow and higher summer bills. HVAC Cleaning in Brentwood covers the full scope and cost.
