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 Windcrest, TX
Air duct cleaning in Windcrest typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. Homes here are different from standard suburban builds: sprawling 1970s – 1990s custom homes on large lots with long, branching duct runs that demand thorough, zone-by-zone cleaning. Roy Castellanos and our crew at Hollis Air Duct Cleaning dispatch from our San Antonio office and serve Windcrest with Rotobrush rotary systems and Nikro negative-air machines, pricing every job in writing before we start. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Windcrest Homes Are Different
Windcrest’s housing stock sets it apart from newer metro developments. Most homes are single-family detached builds from the 1970s through 1990s, often 2,500 – 4,000+ square feet with multiple HVAC zones and original rigid metal ductwork that has accumulated decades of debris. Many properties also have flexible duct runs added during renovations, which sag over time and trap dust in low spots.
The local terrain and climate compound the problem. Windcrest sits on caliche-rich soil, and the area’s high winds drive fine particulate through outdoor HVAC intakes. During dry periods, dust storms from nearby brush country push additional debris into systems already working hard against humid subtropical summers. From May through September, air conditioning runs constantly, keeping ducts cool and often damp, conditions that encourage mold and mildew growth inside the lines.
There’s also a distinctive factor in older sections near the Randolph AFB flight path. Our technicians regularly find accumulated aircraft exhaust residue and dust from frequent military jet traffic accelerating duct soiling, a challenge you won’t encounter in most San Antonio suburbs. Cleaning Windcrest homes properly means addressing the full labyrinthine layout, not just the visible vents.
Our Main Windcrest Services
Windcrest homeowners call us most often for these three services, each with its own dedicated page and local pricing.
Air Duct Cleaning in Windcrest
Our Air Duct Cleaning in Windcrest service covers the full system: supply and return lines, trunk lines, and registers, using Rotobrush rotary brush systems for mechanical agitation and Nikro negative-air machines to pull loosened debris out of the home. In Windcrest’s multi-zone homes, we clean each zone separately to prevent cross-contamination, paying special attention to flexible duct runs where sagging creates debris pockets.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Windcrest
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Windcrest service removes lint buildup from the dryer through the exterior termination, critical in larger Windcrest homes where vent runs often exceed 25 feet. Longer runs, common in these sprawling floor plans, restrict airflow and increase fire risk. We inspect the full line and verify airflow restoration before leaving.
Duct Sealing in Windcrest
Our Duct Sealing in Windcrest service closes leaks in metal and flexible ductwork using mastic sealant and mechanical fasteners, not tape that degrades. In Windcrest’s aging systems, leaks at joints and seams waste conditioned air and pull attic dust into living spaces. Sealing is often the follow-up to cleaning, once debris no longer masks the gaps.
