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 Ponte Vedra Beach, FL
Dryer vent cleaning in Ponte Vedra Beach is not a once-a-decade chore. It is a recurring maintenance item driven by two Atlantic-facing realities: the older, larger homes with long duct runs that collect lint faster than newer builds, and the salt-heavy coastal air that turns that lint into a caked, corrosion-adjacent layer. A typical dryer vent clean here runs $89-$179, depending on run length and access. If you are in a Sawgrass Players Club or Marsh Landing home with a vent pushing 20+ feet to the roofline, call us at (806) 606-6902 and we will give you a written price before a single panel comes off.
Why Ponte Vedra Beach Homes Are Different
Ponte Vedra Beach sits pinched between the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the tidal marshes of the Intracoastal Waterway to the west. That geography means homes here take salt-laden, high-humidity air from two directions at once. Inside ductwork, that combination accelerates mold colonization and debris adhesion far faster than in inland St. Johns County or even Jacksonville proper. We regularly see supply boots on the marsh-facing side of the Sawgrass corridor carrying heavier microbial loads because evening land-breeze cycles pull humid marsh air across the building envelope nightly.
The housing stock compounds the problem. The dominant inventory is larger single-family homes built between the mid-1980s and early 2000s inside gated golf and marsh-view communities. Many run 3,000 to 6,000+ square feet with two or more HVAC systems, which means duct networks are extensive. Original flex duct from that era has spent three-plus decades in attics that routinely exceed 130°F. The inner liners crumble. Insulation breaks down. Debris and spores trap against the degraded surfaces, and cleaning projects take significantly longer than a typical Jacksonville suburb job. Along A1A, a secondary layer of 1960s-1970s cottages and beach bungalows has ductwork retrofitted into spaces never designed for it.
Our Main Ponte Vedra Beach Services
Two services get the most calls from Ponte Vedra Beach homeowners: full system air duct cleaning and multi-system HVAC cleaning. Both are covered by the 365-Day Done Right Promise and include a documented photo record of every run before and after.
Air Duct Cleaning in Ponte Vedra Beach
Full-system air duct cleaning here means working through long runs serving 3,000-plus-square-foot homes, often with two systems. We use Rotobrush negative-pressure extraction, not a shop vac, and photograph every run before and after. The salt-air humidity pattern means supply boots and the first elbow off the plenum are where we find the heaviest debris adhesion. Details on the full process are on Air Duct Cleaning in Ponte Vedra Beach.
HVAC Cleaning in Ponte Vedra Beach
HVAC cleaning in Ponte Vedra Beach focuses on the coil, blower, and plenum. Systems that run continuously to manage indoor humidity pull coastal particulates through at a higher rate, so coil fouling here is heavier than even 10-15 miles inland. The documented record makes it clear what was cleaned. See HVAC Cleaning in Ponte Vedra Beach for the full scope.

BeforeAfterDryer Vent Cleaning in Ponte Vedra Beach
Dryer vent cleaning in Ponte Vedra Beach has to account for two things: long vent runs in large 1980s-2000s homes and coastal air that turns lint into a dense, humid mat inside the pipe. A vent that runs 25 feet from a laundry room to a roofline in a Sawgrass Players Club home collects exponentially more than a short sidewall run in a bungalow. We write the price before work begins, and we photograph the inside of the vent before and after so you can see the difference. See our Dryer Vent Cleaning hub for the full national picture.
Dryer Vent Inspection
Signs you need it
If clothes take two cycles to dry, the vent cap does not open fully when the dryer runs, or you cannot remember the last time anyone looked inside the pipe, schedule an inspection.
What it costs in Ponte Vedra Beach
An inspection runs $49-$99, and we include the camera photos in the job record.
How we do it
We run a camera from the dryer connection to the exterior termination, photograph the restriction points, and give you a written scope before any cleaning starts.
Vent Cleaning
Signs you need it
Visible lint at the exterior vent cap, a dryer that runs hotter than it used to, or a musty smell coming from the laundry wall point to a blocked run.
What it costs in Ponte Vedra Beach
A standard vent clean runs $89-$179; longer roofline runs add $15-$60 because of the extra access work.
How we do it
We use a rotary brush and negative-pressure extraction, then photograph the full length of the run to confirm clearance.
Lint Removal
Signs you need it
A dryer that stops mid-cycle on high-limit errors or a burning smell during operation points to lint blocking airflow.
What it costs in Ponte Vedra Beach
Heavy lint removal runs $200-$350; torn or collapsed duct sections add $45-$90.
How we do it
We break up the lint mass with the rotary brush, pull it out under negative pressure, and remove the debris before re-testing airflow.
Vent Rerouting
Signs you need it
A vent that steps through multiple elbows or runs more than 25 feet with no cleanout needs a reroute.
What it costs in Ponte Vedra Beach
Vent rerouting usually runs $300-$500; new vent covers add $15-$45.
How we do it
We shorten the run, replace restrictive elbows, and install a cleanout so future visits take minutes instead of hours.
Bird Guard Installation
Signs you need it
Nesting material, droppings at the vent cap, or chirping behind the exterior wall signal birds using the vent.
What it costs in Ponte Vedra Beach
A bird guard with installation runs $75-$150.
How we do it
We clear any nest, then fit a metal guard over the termination that blocks entry without restricting airflow.
What Dryer Vent Cleaning Costs in Ponte Vedra Beach
| Item | Typical range in Ponte Vedra Beach |
|---|---|
| Dryer vent inspection | $49-$99 |
| Standard dryer vent cleaning | $89-$179 |
| Heavy lint removal with duct repair | $200-$350 |
How often should a dryer vent be cleaned in Ponte Vedra Beach?
Every 12 months for a household of two or more that runs the dryer regularly. Coastal humidity makes lint clump faster than inland, so annual is the floor, not the ceiling. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written quote.
Why do some Ponte Vedra Beach quotes come in so much cheaper?
Because they price a quick exterior vacuum from the vent cap only. That does not clear a 20-foot roofline run. The documented photo record shows whether the full run was actually cleaned. Estimates are free.
Duct Repair & Sealing in Ponte Vedra Beach
Duct repair and sealing in Ponte Vedra Beach is often a correction for age and salt. Three-decade-old flex duct in attics that hit 130°F degrades from the inside, and the constant coastal humidity turns small air leaks into condensation points that stain ceilings and grow mold. See our Duct Repair & Sealing hub for full service details.
Duct Sealing
Signs you need it
Rooms that never reach the thermostat setpoint, dust accumulating faster than normal, or a system that runs constantly point to air leaking from the ducts.
What it costs in Ponte Vedra Beach
Sealing runs $200-$500; partial replacement of damaged sections adds $10-$18 per linear foot.
How we do it
We seal joints with mastic using the H.A.V.E.N. Standard, then photograph the sealed runs for the record.
Flex Duct Repair
Signs you need it
Collapsed sections, crumbling grey liner visible at the register, or a room that suddenly loses airflow signal degraded flex duct.
What it costs in Ponte Vedra Beach
Flex duct repair runs $300-$1,000; a full replacement of a branch run adds $15-$35 in parts.
How we do it
We cut out the collapsed section, fit new R6 or R8 flex, seal both ends, and photograph the repair.
Metal Duct Repair
Signs you need it
Rusting seams, disconnected metal at the plenum, or visible separation in attic runs indicate metal duct failure.
What it costs in Ponte Vedra Beach
Metal repair or reconnection runs $250-$700; replacing sections with new insulated metal runs $40-$80 per linear foot.
How we do it
We reconnect and seal separated metal, patch rust-through with sealed metal, and replace sections too far gone to repair.
Duct Insulation
Signs you need it
Condensation on duct surfaces, moisture staining on ceilings below, or exposed ductwork in an unconditioned attic means insulation has failed.
What it costs in Ponte Vedra Beach
Wrapping or replacing insulation runs $200-$700 for typical whole-system coverage.
How we do it
We strip failed insulation, rewrap with closed-cell or fiberglass wrap, and seal the vapor barrier against the coastal humidity.
Mastic Sealant
Signs you need it
Visible cracks at plenum connections or red handprints of old tape failing at joints mean mastic sealing is overdue.
What it costs in Ponte Vedra Beach
Mastic sealing runs $200-$500 for a typical two-system home.
How we do it
We brush mastic over every accessible joint, let it cure, and run a pressure test to confirm closure.
What Duct Repair & Sealing Costs in Ponte Vedra Beach
| Item | Typical range in Ponte Vedra Beach |
|---|---|
| Duct sealing | $200-$500 |
| Flex duct repair | $300-$1,000 |
| Metal duct reconnection | $250-$700 |
Why do Ponte Vedra Beach attics wreck flex duct faster than other areas?
Attic temperatures over 130°F bake the inner liner until it crumbles, and the salt-humidity combo accelerates the breakdown. We find original 1980s grey flex in the Sawgrass corridor with liners fully collapsed. Call (806) 606-6902.
Can sealing ducts actually lower humidity in a Ponte Vedra Beach home?
Yes. Small supply leaks pull humid attic air into the system, and sealed ducts stop that exchange. Homes with chronic condensation problems typically see immediate improvement. Written quote before work starts.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Ponte Vedra Beach
Air quality and sanitizing in Ponte Vedra Beach has to address the constant salt-air humidity that keeps duct interiors damp for months at a time. That dampness is what allows mold and bacteria to colonize supply boots, especially on the marsh-facing side of homes along the Intracoastal. See our Air Quality & Sanitizing hub for the full service detail.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Musty odors that strengthen when the system runs, visible spots at supply registers, or a documented mold history in a coastal Ponte Vedra Beach attic.
What it costs in Ponte Vedra Beach
Mold treatment runs $150-$300 per system; HEPA vacuuming of contaminated duct interiors adds $150-$375.
How we do it
We apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial after mechanical cleaning, then photograph the treated surfaces for the record.
Bacteria Sanitizing
Signs you need it
Recurring respiratory irritation, damp duct interiors, or a home that sits sealed and humid through the summer months.
What it costs in Ponte Vedra Beach
Sanitizing runs $150-$300; systems with heavy biofilm add $75-$150 for extended dwell time.
How we do it
We fog the duct interior with a sanitizing agent after cleaning, focusing on the supply boots where microbial loads concentrate.
Odor Removal
Signs you need it
Permanent cooking, pet, or mildew odors that return within hours of airing the home indicate the smell is sourced inside the ductwork.
What it costs in Ponte Vedra Beach
Odor removal runs $150-$300; additional treatment of the coil and plenum adds $50-$150.
How we do it
We clean the full run, then apply an odor-neutralizing treatment that addresses the source rather than masking it.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Persistent humidity-driven microbial growth on the coil, even after cleaning, or a household with immune-compromised residents.
What it costs in Ponte Vedra Beach
A UV light installation runs $600-$1,500, including the unit and wiring.
How we do it
We mount the UV lamp above the coil inside the plenum and wire it to run continuously, using Honeywell or Aprilaire units.
Air Purifier Install
Signs you need it
Persistent dust on surfaces despite regular cleaning, pollen-driven allergy flares, or a home near the Intracoastal with nightly marsh-air intake.
What it costs in Ponte Vedra Beach
Air purifier installation runs $600-$1,200 including the unit.
How we do it
We install a media-based or electronic purifier at the air handler, sized to the system tonnage, and photograph the finished install.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Ponte Vedra Beach
| Item | Typical range in Ponte Vedra Beach |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment per system | $150-$300 |
| Bacteria sanitizing | $150-$300 |
| UV light installation | $600-$1,500 |
Why is mold more aggressive in Ponte Vedra Beach ductwork than inland?
Because the humidity never lets the inside of the duct dry out. Homes pinched between the ocean and the Intracoastal get a constant supply of damp, salty air. Documented photo records show exactly what was treated. Call (806) 606-6902.
Does sanitizing eliminate the need for regular duct cleaning in Ponte Vedra Beach?
No. Sanitizing treats microbial growth, but the debris and salt-air residue that feed it still need mechanical removal. The two services work together. Written price before any work begins.
