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 Bulverde, TX
Air duct cleaning in Bulverde runs $350 – $650 for most single-system homes, with dryer vent cleaning at $120 – $250 and duct sealing at $500 – $1,200 depending on accessibility. What drives the real difference here isn’t the equipment, it’s the debris: Bulverde’s Hill Country location pulls in extreme Ashe juniper pollen, limestone dust from caliche roads, and construction particulate that standard San Antonio duct cleaning doesn’t encounter at the same concentration. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Garrison Partners family, and our crews handle Bulverde jobs with rotary brush systems and negative-air machines built for the pollen load this terrain generates. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Bulverde Homes Are Different
Bulverde sits on the edge of the Texas Hill Country, and that geography changes what collects inside your ducts. The Ashe juniper, what locals call mountain cedar, releases pollen from December through February that overwhelms standard HVAC filtration. We’ve opened systems in Bulverde Hills and The Crossing where the return plenum was coated with a gray-brown mat of cedar pollen mixed with limestone dust from nearby construction and unpaved roads. That combination is abrasive and dense, not the light household dust you’d find closer to San Antonio.
The housing stock here is mostly custom ranch-style homes built between 1990 and 2020, many on acreage lots with flexible ductwork run through hot attics. Bulverde has no municipal building code enforcement, so we’ve found DIY duct sealing with foil tape that has dried and failed, leaving gaps that pull attic air directly into the living space. Humidity runs high in spring and fall, and with HVAC systems operating nearly year-round, that moisture plus trapped pollen creates conditions for mold growth inside the trunk lines. In Bulverde, duct cleaning isn’t spring maintenance, it’s allergy-season triage.
Our Main Bulverde Services
Most Bulverde homeowners who call us need one of these three services, each handled with written pricing and our 365-Day Done Right Promise before any work starts.
Air Duct Cleaning in Bulverde
We clean the full supply and return system with a Rotobrush rotary brush and Nikro negative-air machine, pulling debris out rather than pushing it deeper. In Bulverde, we pay special attention to cedar pollen accumulation in the return plenum and main trunk, where it packs dense and can restrict airflow by 15 – 20% in heavy seasons. Every job gets before-and-after photos of your own ducts, not stock images. Air Duct Cleaning in Bulverde
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Bulverde
Dryer vent cleaning in Bulverde addresses lint buildup that is accelerated by the area’s hard water and outdoor pollen, which can coat the vent termination and trap moisture. We run a rotary brush through the full vent line to the exterior cap, then verify airflow with a meter. Homes in Bulverde with longer vent runs through attics or crawlspaces, common in ranch-style builds, are at higher fire risk and need this service annually. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Bulverde
Duct Sealing in Bulverde
Duct sealing in Bulverde fixes the gaps and failed tape joints that pull hot attic air and limestone dust into your system. We apply mastic sealant to all accessible joints, then pressure-test the system to verify the seal. This is especially important in Bulverde’s unregulated building environment, where we’ve found original ductwork with 20 – 30% leakage in homes less than ten years old. Duct Sealing in Bulverde
