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 Shady Hollow, TX
Air duct cleaning in Shady Hollow, TX typically runs between $450 and $850 for a standard single-system home, with most jobs completed the same day. That’s the honest range we quote before any work begins, because we hand you a written price the moment we assess your system. Shady Hollow’s tree-lined streets and older HVAC setups mean homes here collect dust, pet dander, and construction debris differently than newer Austin-area subdivisions. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate on any of our Shady Hollow services.
Why Shady Hollow Homes Are Different
Shady Hollow sits in a pocket of southwest Austin where mature oaks and cedars do more than provide shade. They drop pollen, leaf litter, and fine organic dust that finds its way into return vents and duct runs. Homes here were largely built between the 1980s and early 2000s, so we regularly see flex duct that’s sagging, torn at connection points, or simply never cleaned since the day it was installed.
The terrain matters too. Many Shady Hollow lots are sloped, with HVAC units and ductwork running through attics that get brutal in summer. That heat bakes dust into a fine particulate that recirculates every time the AC kicks on. We also work around the neighborhood’s quieter, winding streets where parking for a service van needs a little planning. None of this is a problem, but it does mean a Shady Hollow job benefits from a technician who actually knows the area rather than someone driving in blind from across town.
Our Main Shady Hollow Services
The three calls we get most from Shady Hollow homeowners are dryer vent cleaning, full air duct cleaning, and HVAC system cleaning. Here’s what each one involves locally.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Shady Hollow
Dryer vents in Shady Hollow homes often run longer than code prefers, snaking through walls or up through the roof rather than straight out. Lint builds up fast, especially with mature landscaping shedding constantly. We run Rotobrush rotary tools through the full vent run and verify airflow at the exterior termination point. If we find the vent is torn or disconnected inside the wall cavity, we say so and quote the repair before touching anything. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Shady Hollow covers what the full service includes.
Air Duct Cleaning in Shady Hollow
A full duct cleaning here means cleaning the supply and return runs, the trunk lines, and the plenum boxes. We use a Nikro HEPA vacuum in negative-pressure mode, meaning loosened debris gets pulled straight into the vacuum, not pushed back into your living room. Older Shady Hollow homes with original flex duct often have tears that need sealing during the cleaning. Air Duct Cleaning in Shady Hollow breaks down the full process and what it costs.
HVAC Cleaning in Shady Hollow
HVAC cleaning goes beyond the ducts themselves. We clean the blower motor, evaporator coil, condensate pan, and the inside of the air handler cabinet. In Shady Hollow, where AC runs hard from May through September, a dirty coil directly raises your energy bill. We also check the condensate drain for the algae and sludge that cause overflows in humid attic spaces. HVAC Cleaning in Shady Hollow explains the full service.

Prices in Shady Hollow run slightly higher than the Austin average for two reasons: hilly terrain means longer hose runs and more equipment setup, and older flex duct often needs repair work during the cleaning itself. What pushes your final price up is duct damage, number of systems, and whether you want sanitizing added. We hand you a written price before a single duct is touched, and that number does not change at the door.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Shady Hollow
Most Shady Hollow jobs are scheduled within one to two business days. Because we keep crews in southwest Austin consistently, same-day appointments are sometimes available. Call (737) 727-2314 and a live person will give you a straight answer on the earliest arrival.
Duct cleaning requires no city permit in Shady Hollow, and no HOA approval is needed for cleaning work. If a repair involves modifying exterior venting, some HOAs may require architectural review, but that’s rare for standard maintenance. We’ll tell you if anything on your job might cross that line.
We clean the full duct run mechanically with a Rotobrush rotary brush system while a Nikro HEPA vacuum runs in negative-pressure mode. Debris goes into the vacuum, not your home. You’ll see before-and-after photos of your own ducts when the job is done.
