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 Medina, WA
Air duct cleaning in Medina, WA typically costs $450 – $1,200 for a standard single-family home, with most jobs completed in 4 – 6 hours. Medina’s housing stock skews toward large, custom-built homes on Lake Washington’s eastern shore, and those systems run long trunk lines across multi-level floor plans. That geometry, combined with cedar-heavy landscaping and lake humidity, means Medina systems collect a specific mix of debris. Call (737) 727-2314 for a written quote before any work starts.
Why Medina Homes Are Different
Medina isn’t a typical suburb. The lots are large, the homes are custom, and many sit within a few hundred feet of Lake Washington. Lake humidity pushes moisture into crawlspaces and basement mechanical rooms, which means dust inside ductwork is often slightly damp and sticky rather than dry and loose. That changes how we clean: sticky debris needs more agitation from our Rotobrush rotary brush systems before negative-pressure extraction pulls it out.
Housing age matters too. While Medina has plenty of newer construction, a meaningful share of homes along Evergreen Point Road and the streets near Medina Park date to the 1950s and 1960s. Those older systems often have hard metal ductwork with original insulation, and homeowners tend to be surprised by how much of that insulation has degraded into the airstream. When the system runs, that fiber dust recirculates. Medina’s mature cedar and fir canopy also contributes: pollen, sap residue, and fine needle dust make their way into return vents, especially on properties with tall trees shading the roofline. The result is a different cleaning profile than you’d see in a newer master-planned development.
One thing that makes Medina jobs smoother than many other Eastside cities: most homes here have generous mechanical rooms or dedicated utility spaces. Technicians get clean access to the air handler, the trunk lines, and the return plenum. That means less furniture moving, faster setup, and a tighter containment job.
Our Main Medina Services
Medina homeowners call us most often for three jobs: dryer vent cleaning, full air duct cleaning, and HVAC system cleaning. Each one has its own Medina page with local pricing and the exact process. Here’s what each involves.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Medina
Dryer vents in Medina run longer than you’d expect, especially in homes where the laundry room sits at the center of the floor plan and the vent exits through the roof or a far exterior wall. Long runs collect lint faster, and on Medina’s wooded lots, birds and rodents sometimes find their way into exterior vent hoods. We clean the full run from dryer to exterior hood, verify airflow at the termination point, and check the hood flap. It’s a focused job that usually takes under an hour. Full details on pricing and what’s included are on the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Medina page.
Air Duct Cleaning in Medina
Full air duct cleaning covers the supply and return lines, the trunk, the plenums, and the registers throughout the house. In Medina, we spend extra time on return lines because lake humidity tends to compact dust there. We run our Rotobrush rotary brush through every accessible run, pull debris with a Nikro HEPA vacuum under negative pressure, and document everything with before-and-after photos. Most Medina homes fall into the 4 – 6 hour range. See exact pricing and the step-by-step process on the Air Duct Cleaning in Medina page.
HVAC Cleaning in Medina
HVAC cleaning goes beyond the ducts themselves. It covers the air handler interior, the evaporator coil, the blower wheel, and the condensate pan. In Medina, we see a lot of coils that haven’t been touched in years, particularly in homes where the air handler sits in a unconditioned basement or crawlspace. Debris on the coil cuts efficiency and drives up cooling costs in summer. Our techs open the unit, clean the coil and blower, and verify the system is draining correctly. Complete scope and pricing are on the HVAC Cleaning in Medina page.
