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 Lawndale, CA
Air duct cleaning in Lawndale typically costs between $350 and $650 for a standard single-system home, and the work is usually finished in half a day. Lawndale’s mix of 1950s tract homes and 1980s condos means most systems we open have never been fully cleaned, just partially serviced. If you want a firm price before any work starts, call Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning at (737) 727-2314.
Why Lawndale Homes Are Different
Lawndale sits in the South Bay’s marine layer zone, which means one thing for ductwork: fine, settled particulate. Homes here pull in ocean-moist air most mornings and dry inland air by afternoon, and that cycle lets dust bond to duct walls instead of blowing through. Add the city’s older housing stock along Hawthorne Boulevard and Prairie Avenue, and we regularly find ducts that have been sealed with decades-old tape and never had a true negative-pressure extraction done.
Negative-pressure extraction, by the way, means the loosened debris goes straight into a HEPA-filtered vacuum instead of back into your living room. That matters in Lawndale because a lot of the dust is fine enough to re-settle within days if the containment isn’t done right. Condos and townhomes near Marine Avenue also tend to have shorter vent runs with tighter access points, so the job takes more careful setup than a wide-open attic system in a single-family home.
Our Main Lawndale Services
Most Lawndale homeowners call us about one of three things: a dryer that takes two cycles to finish, supply registers that keep filming over with gray dust, or an HVAC system that smells stale on startup. Each service has its own page with local pricing and what to expect, linked below.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lawndale
Lawndale’s older laundry rooms often route dryer exhaust through walls or up through the roof, and those tight bends trap lint fast. We see a lot of runs that haven’t been opened since the home was built. The job involves running a rotary brush down the full vent path and confirming airflow with a manometer before and after. Get the full breakdown on Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lawndale.
Air Duct Cleaning in Lawndale
Supply and return ducts in Lawndale homes carry everything from renovation dust to pet dander, and the marine-layer humidity helps it stick. We clean the full system using a Rotobrush agitation system paired with a Nikro HEPA vacuum, so debris is pulled out under negative pressure rather than pushed around. For pricing and what a typical Lawndale job includes, see Air Duct Cleaning in Lawndale.
HVAC Cleaning in Lawndale
Beyond the ducts themselves, the blower wheel, evaporator coil, and drain pan collect the same fine dust Lawndale air brings in. A dirty coil costs you cooling efficiency all summer. We pull the blower assembly when access allows and clean the coil with professional-grade equipment, not just a brush and a vacuum. Full details are on the HVAC Cleaning in Lawndale page.

Whatever the number is, you get a written price before we start, and that price does not change at the door. Every job is also covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the work isn’t right within a full year, we return and correct it at no charge.
