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 Tice, FL
Air duct cleaning in Tice typically runs $380 – $620 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. We dispatch crews from our South Florida office to handle the specific challenges of Tice’s older housing stock: original flex duct from the 1970s through 1990s, collapsed runs in 130°F attics, and mold growth driven by Southwest Florida’s relentless humidity. If you’re smelling must when the AC first kicks on in the morning, that’s the telltale sign of condensation in uninsulated attic ductwork, a failure pattern we see constantly in Tice’s ranch and manufactured-home neighborhoods. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate with a written price before any work starts.
Why Tice Homes Are Different
Tice’s housing was built fast and built cheap, mostly 1,700 – 2,500 square foot concrete-block ranches and manufactured homes constructed from the 1970s through the 1990s as worker housing for the east Fort Myers agricultural belt. The original R-4 flex duct still drapes across attic trusses in most of these homes, never replaced because it was never code-required until 2002. That flex duct collapses, kinks, and collects moisture in ways rigid metal trunk systems simply don’t.
Southwest Florida’s humid subtropical climate pushes relative humidity above 75% for months at a stretch. Cold supply lines in unconditioned Tice attics sweat against that saturated air, and the fiberglass liner inside flex duct becomes a breeding ground for mold and mildew. From May through October, cooling systems run near-constantly, accelerating the breakdown. In Tice, duct cleaning isn’t just dust removal, it’s biological decontamination. The morning musty smell at the registers is the giveaway our technicians look for first.
Our Main Tice Services
Most Tice homeowners call us for one of three jobs, each handled with The Garrison Standard: written price first, background-checked uniformed crew, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise on every visit.
Air Duct Cleaning in Tice
We pull a Rotobrush rotary brush system through every accessible run, following with negative-air extraction from Nikro equipment to capture dislodged debris. In Tice, that means starting in the attic to locate crushed flex sections before we even power up, because brushing a collapsed duct just packs the clog tighter. We document the condition with before-and-after photos you’ll see on site. Air Duct Cleaning in Tice covers our full process and what to expect.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Tice
Dryer vent buildup is worse in Tice’s older homes because original vent runs were often routed through long attic paths with multiple elbows, not the short exterior walls common in newer construction. We use rotary brush and high-velocity air tools to clear lint from the full run, not just the accessible boot. A blocked dryer vent in this humidity also traps moisture that degrades the transition hose from the back of the machine. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Tice has the details.
Duct Sealing in Tice
Sealing Tice’s flex duct with mastic compound and metal-backed tape stops the conditioned air leaking into the attic before it ever reaches the registers. In a typical Tice ranch, we measure 20 – 35% leakage on the supply side alone. We seal every accessible joint and puncture, then pressure-test to verify. The payoff is lower humidity load inside the living space and less strain on equipment already running overtime through summer. Duct Sealing in Tice explains our sealing protocol.

We quote one flat price per system, agreed in writing before any equipment enters your home. That number does not move at the door.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Tice
No permit is required for cleaning or sealing existing ductwork in unincorporated Lee County, which covers most of Tice. If we find duct sections that need full replacement rather than sealing, we’ll flag whether that triggers a mechanical permit and handle the paperwork if it does. Call (361) 326-5060 to discuss your specific setup.
We typically schedule Tice appointments within two to three business days, sometimes next-day depending on route density. Our Miami dispatch office coordinates South Florida crews to minimize drive time. We do not promise same-day arrival because duct cleaning is a scheduled, in-home service that requires proper setup time, not an emergency dispatch.
Most Tice-area communities do not require HOA pre-approval for indoor duct services, though some manufactured-home parks ask for proof of insurance or background checks. Our technicians carry both, and we’ll provide whatever documentation your management requests before the appointment. Just mention it when you call (361) 326-5060.
