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 Dunwoody, GA
Air duct cleaning in Dunwoody runs $380 – $620 for a typical 2,500 – 3,500 sq ft home with two HVAC systems, depending on how many returns and supply runs are involved. That is the honest range before anyone steps inside, and for Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning it is also the range after: a written price is handed to you before any work starts and it does not change at the door. Dunwoody homes, whether you’re off Mount Vernon Road or inside The Branches, carry layered filtration needs that flat-rate flyers never capture. If you’re looking for a straight answer and a written number, call (737) 727-2314 – a live person picks up.
Why Dunwoody Homes Are Different
Dunwoody’s housing stock skews large: 1970s and 1980s colonials and split-levels with long trunk lines running through finished basements, plus a growing number of 1990s and early-2000s infill builds around Vermack and Withmere. That split matters. Older systems here often have return drops pulling air from finished basement space, which means more drywall dust, pet dander, and construction debris working its way into the returns every year. Newer homes are built tighter, which sounds efficient but traps recirculated particles. In both cases, the same Georgia pollen pressure applies: Dunwoody sits inside a heavy pine and hardwood canopy, and spring pollen season here runs ragged from late February through May. That layer of yellow-green dust finds its way into every return, every filter slot, and every supply register. Add the summer humidity that DeKalb County is known for, and you get exactly what we see in Dunwoody: gray, slightly greasy duct interiors that hold dust rather than letting it pass through. Homes near the Dunwoody Country Club and along Tilly Mill Road can run into another specific issue: mature tree roots shifting shallow slabs enough to put a kink in older duct runs, which accelerates buildup at the bend.
Our Main Dunwoody Services
Most Dunwoody homeowners call us for two jobs: a full air duct cleaning for the HVAC system, and dryer vent work for the laundry line. Here is how each one plays out in Dunwoody specifically.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Dunwoody
Dunwoody laundry rooms tend to sit on the first floor or in a finished basement, which often means a dryer vent run of 10 to 25 feet with one or two 90-degree elbows before it exits. Every foot of that run gathers lint, and every elbow is a collection point. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Dunwoody service uses a Rotobrush system to break the lint free at the wall of the pipe, then negative-pressure extraction pulls it straight into a sealed HEPA vacuum rather than blowing it back into your laundry room. Homes along Womack Road with basement runs should expect a slightly longer job simply because of access and the number of bends. We clean the full run, exit to dryer, and confirm airflow at the termination point before we call the job done.
Air Duct Cleaning in Dunwoody
Full Air Duct Cleaning in Dunwoody means every supply run, every return, the trunk lines, the plenums, and the blower cabinet. On a typical Dunwoody colonial with two systems, that is a three to five hour job. We run a Rotobrush through each run while the system is under negative pressure from a Nikro HEPA vacuum, which keeps loosened dust from drifting into your living room. Because Dunwoody sits in a heavy canopy, we watch specifically for pine pollen caking on the return side and for filter slots that have been bypassed over the years. You get before-and-after photos of your own ducts, so you can see the difference on the runs you actually live with.
HVAC Cleaning in Dunwoody
HVAC Cleaning in Dunwoody goes past the ducts into the system itself: evaporator coil, blower wheel, blower housing, condensation pan, and the drain line. In Dunwoody, this is the job for systems that have run four or five Georgia summers with no service beyond a filter swap. A coated coil means the system runs longer to hit the same thermostat set point, which is the quiet reason electric bills spike in July and August around Fontainebleau and Kingsley. We use professional-grade coil cleaner and verify drainage so the system doesn’t sweat into the closet. On older Trane and Carrier units we see around Dunwoody, that blower wheel cleanup is usually the single biggest airflow improvement available short of replacement.

What pushes a Dunwoody job toward the top of those ranges is usually access, not size alone: basement mechanical rooms with tight clearances, very long trunk runs through finished space, or systems that have not been opened in five-plus years. What it will not be is a surprise. Every job gets a written price before work begins, and that number holds.

No. Air duct cleaning, HVAC cleaning, and dryer vent cleaning are interior maintenance jobs, and no Dunwoody HOA we have worked with – including those around Dunwoody Country Club – requires approval for them. The only thing that might come up is if your dryer vent termination is on a shared wall or visible from the street; in those rare cases, the work still proceeds, just with a note to the board. You handle the air, we handle the dust.
We cover the entire Dunwoody area, from the Perimeter Center high-rises up to the residential streets off Tilly Mill and Winters Chapel. Density near Perimeter means more condos and townhomes with shorter duct runs, while the northern neighborhoods are almost all single-family with two or three systems. Pricing reflects the number of systems and vents, not the neighborhood you live in.
