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 in Carrollton, TX
Dryer vent cleaning in Carrollton runs $129-$189 for a standard single-story home and takes about 90 minutes from setup to final photo documentation. What makes this city different is the housing: most homes built between 1975 and 1995 route dryer exhaust through attics or slab walls where lint accumulates faster than in newer construction. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll give you a written price before any work starts, no exceptions.
Why Carrollton Homes Are Different
Carrollton’s single-family housing stock is overwhelmingly slab-on-grade construction from the 1975-1995 buildout, concentrated in neighborhoods along Frankford Road, Josey Lane, and the Hebron Parkway corridor. Every supply and return duct runs through the attic, where North Texas summers push temperatures past 150°F. That heat does two things: it bakes dust and allergen debris onto duct interior surfaces until it’s stubborn to remove, and it thermally cycles flex duct liners until the mylar inner layer cracks at the connections. When that happens, attic air carrying degraded blown-in insulation fibers gets drawn directly into the living space.
Technicians who work Indian Creek, Woodlake, and the Belt Line corridor subdivisions see the same failure pattern block after block: 40-year-old fiberglass duct board plenums with delaminating interior facing, separated flex connections at supply boots, and dryer vents packed with lint that should have been cleared years ago. December through February adds the mountain cedar pollen event known locally as cedar fever, among the most intense in the country, followed by a heavy spring oak and elm load. Carrollton systems collect allergen-laden debris at an accelerated seasonal rate, then the summer bakes it in.
Our Main Carrollton Services
Two services account for most of the calls we take from Carrollton homeowners, and each has its own dedicated page with full pricing, signs, and scope details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Carrollton
Whole-system air duct cleaning in Carrollton addresses the debris that accumulates inside supply and return runs: construction dust, insulation fibers from degraded duct board, pet dander, and the seasonal pollen load that cedar fever brings. In homes along the Josey Lane corridor, we regularly document a 2-3 inch debris build-up at the first elbow of return runs, where airflow slows and particulates drop out. The job includes a Documented Photo Record of every duct run, before and after. Air Duct Cleaning in Carrollton has full pricing and scope.
HVAC Cleaning in Carrollton
HVAC cleaning in Carrollton goes beyond the duct runs to the components that move air: the blower motor, evaporator coil, drain pan, and the plenum where air first leaves the furnace. In 1980s-era tract homes near Hebron Parkway, the coil is often coated in a gray mat of dust and pollen that reduces heat exchange and increases runtime. We clean, photograph, and document each component. HVAC Cleaning in Carrollton covers the full scope and pricing.

BeforeAfterDryer Vent Cleaning in Carrollton
Dryer vent cleaning in Carrollton usually costs $129-$189 and takes about 90 minutes on a standard single-story home with a direct roof or exterior wall vent. The housing era matters here: homes built between 1975 and 1995 commonly have long, multi-elbow vent runs routed through attics where lint accumulates at every bend and turn, not just at the dryer connection. A full run from Dryer Vent Cleaning includes internal camera documentation before and after, so you see exactly what was removed.
Dryer Vent Inspection
Signs you need it
Clothes take longer than 45 minutes to dry, the dryer feels hot to the touch, or you can’t remember the last time anyone looked inside the vent run.
What it costs in Carrollton
A standalone camera inspection in Carrollton runs $75-$129, and we credit that amount toward cleaning if you book both on the same visit.
How we do it
We run a camera through the full vent path from dryer connection to exterior termination, photographing any blockages, separations, or damage before showing you the images.
Vent Cleaning
Signs you need it
Visible lint deposits at the exterior vent hood, longer drying cycles, or a musty smell on just-dried laundry.
What it costs in Carrollton
Standard vent cleaning in Carrollton runs $129-$189 for a single run, and $25-$45 per additional 10 feet for longer attic runs common in this city’s 1980s stock.
How we do it
We use negative-pressure extraction equipment (an industrial vacuum pulling air backward through the run) combined with rotating brushes sized to the vent diameter, then re-photograph the full interior.
Lint Removal
Signs you need it
The dryer heats fine but clothes stay damp, or the exterior hood flapper doesn’t open fully because lint has built up behind it.
What it costs in Carrollton
Targeted lint removal at a single blockage, common where Carrollton vents make multiple turns, runs $99-$199 depending on access and distance from the dryer.
How we do it
We locate the blockage with the camera, break it up with a rotating brush, extract it with negative pressure, and document the clear run with photos.
Vent Rerouting
Signs you need it
The current vent path makes too many bends or runs more than 25 feet without a booster, which is common in slab-on-grade Carrollton homes where the vent exits through the roof.
What it costs in Carrollton
A partial reroute in Carrollton runs $250-$450; a full-length reroute or roof exit relocation runs $500-$900 depending on attic access and path length.
How we do it
We map the current run, propose a straighter path with fewer elbows, install rigid or semi-rigid metal duct, seal every joint, and photograph the completed run.
Bird Guard Installation
Signs you need it
You can see nesting material at the exterior vent hood, hear birds or scratching sounds near the vent, or find droppings on the wall below.
What it costs in Carrollton
Bird guard installation on a standard 4-inch vent hood in Carrollton runs $59-$99 as a standalone job, and $39-$69 when added to a cleaning visit.
How we do it
We remove any nesting material, clean the termination point, install a galvanized or stainless guard sized to the hood, and photograph the final result.
What Dryer Vent Cleaning Costs in Carrollton
| Item | Typical range in Carrollton |
|---|---|
| Standalone inspection | $75-$129 |
| Standard vent cleaning (single run) | $129-$189 |
| Additional 10 feet of run | $25-$45 |
Why does Carrollton weather make dryer vent cleaning more important?
The mountain cedar pollen event from December through February coats every exterior surface, including vent hoods where pollen mixes with lint and restricts airflow. Add the summer attic heat baking that debris onto vent walls, and Carrollton vents clog faster than in milder climates.
Can you clean a dryer vent that exits through the roof?
Yes. Roof exits are common in Carrollton’s slab-on-grade homes, and we clean them with the same negative-pressure equipment and camera documentation, using roof access rated for the pitch and material. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written price.
Duct Repair & Sealing in Carrollton
Duct repair and sealing in Carrollton addresses the structural failures that plague 35-45-year-old flex duct in this city’s attic-routed systems, where mylar liners crack at connections and fiberglass duct board plenums delaminate after decades of 150°F attic heat. Basic supply boot sealing runs $950-$1,750 for a typical single system, while full duct replacement runs $2,500-$6,500 depending on run length and access. Duct Repair & Sealing covers every scope, with written pricing before any panel comes off.
Duct Sealing
Signs you need it
Rooms stay hot in summer or cold in winter regardless of thermostat setting, and your energy bill climbs while runtime increases.
What it costs in Carrollton
Aeroseal application on a typical Carrollton single system runs $1,650-$2,600, while manual mastic sealing at accessible joints runs $450-$950.
How we do it
We locate leaks by feel and with pressure testing where needed, then seal accessible connections with mastic and reinforce with mesh tape before photographing each sealed joint.
Flex Duct Repair
Signs you need it
You can see sagging or crushed flex in the attic, or a room suddenly loses airflow because a connection has separated at the boot.
What it costs in Carrollton
Repairing a section of flex duct in Carrollton runs $350-$750 for a typical 10-25 foot run; full replacement of all flex runs runs $2,500-$4,500.
How we do it
We inspect the full run, cut out the damaged section or replace it entirely, reconnect with proper draw bands, seal with mastic, and photograph the finished work.
Duct Insulation
Signs you need it
Visible condensation on attic ductwork in summer, or supply air feels warm by the time it reaches registers at the far end of the house.
What it costs in Carrollton
Re-insulating exposed attic ductwork in Carrollton runs $1.50-$2.50 per square foot of duct surface, or $300-$600 for a typical repair job.
How we do it
We remove degraded insulation, inspect the duct beneath, wrap with new R-6 or R-8 insulation per code, secure it, and document the work.
Mastic Sealant
Signs you need it
Visible gaps at plenum connections, supply boots, or return boxes where dust streaks or light passes through around the joint.
What it costs in Carrollton
Mastic sealing of a single accessible plenum or boot in Carrollton runs $150-$450 with re-sealing and documentation included if it fails under the workmanship warranty.
How we do it
We clean the joint surface, apply mastic sealant by brush over any gap, embed mesh tape where the gap exceeds 1/8 inch, and photograph each connection.
What Duct Repair & Sealing Costs in Carrollton
| Item | Typical range in Carrollton |
|---|---|
| Supply boot sealing | $950-$1,750 |
| Duct replacement (per 10 linear feet) | $350-$750 |
| Full duct replacement (2,000 sq ft home) | $2,500-$6,500 |
Why do Carrollton homes have so many duct failures?
The 1975-1995 buildout put every duct run through attics that hit 150°F+ each summer. Four decades of that thermal cycling cracks flex liners and separates connections at boots, and fiberglass duct board plenums delaminate, releasing fibers into the airstream. It’s structural, not neglect.
Can you fix a duct leak in one visit?
Most single leaks and boot separations are repaired in one visit with written pricing before work starts. Multiple leaks or full replacement may require a second visit, and we’ll tell you before you book. Call (806) 606-6902 for specifics.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Carrollton
Air quality and sanitizing in Carrollton deals with the allergen accumulation this city is known for: mountain cedar from December through February, heavy spring oak and elm pollen, and the insulation fibers that enter living spaces when 40-year-old duct board delaminates in attic heat. Whole-home sanitizing, including the supply and return runs, runs $349-$549 and includes a Documented Photo Record of every run before and after. Air Quality & Sanitizing covers the full scope and equipment list.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Visible dark staining on supply registers, a persistent musty smell that gets stronger when the system runs, or confirmed mold growth on the coil or in the drain pan.
What it costs in Carrollton
Whole-system mold treatment on a typical Carrollton HVAC system runs $995-$1,500 including sanitizing and photo documentation; spot treatment of a single component runs $250-$600.
How we do it
We identify the moisture source, treat affected surfaces with an EPA-registered antimicrobial, clean the drain pan and coil, replace any damaged insulation, and photograph before and after.
Odor Removal
Signs you need it
A stale or burning smell when the system first starts, pet odors that linger even after cleaning, or a musty smell coming from specific rooms.
What it costs in Carrollton
System-wide odor removal in Carrollton runs $349-$549 when combined with air duct cleaning; standalone treatment of a single area runs $150-$350.
How we do it
We run an OdorKlenz or similar hospital-grade vapor treatment through the entire duct system with the blower running, then document with photos and provide a written record of products used.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring mold on the coil despite cleaning, or a household member with respiratory sensitivity that tracks with HVAC runtime.
What it costs in Carrollton
UV light installation in a Carrollton HVAC system runs $950-$1,650 including the unit, mounting, wiring, and photo documentation.
How we do it
We mount the UV-C lamp inside the supply plenum or above the coil, wire it to run continuously, and photograph the completed installation.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Carrollton
| Item | Typical range in Carrollton |
|---|---|
| Whole-home sanitizing | $349-$549 |
| System-wide mold treatment | $995-$1,500 |
| Air purifier installation | $550-$1,450 |
Does sanitizing help with Carrollton cedar fever?
It reduces the allergen load inside the duct system, but it doesn’t stop pollen from entering the house. The benefit is removing the pollen that has already accumulated and baked onto duct surfaces over previous seasons. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written assessment.
How do you know the sanitizing was actually done?
We photograph the inside of every duct run before and after, and you receive that Documented Photo Record as part of the standard job file. If it isn’t right, the 365-Day Done Right Promise means we make it right, in writing.
