Fast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Bastrop
Air duct cleaning in Bastrop typically costs between $380 and $620 for a full system on a standard single-family home, and most jobs are finished in a single visit. We schedule Bastrop appointments every weekday, and our crews arrive with professional-grade Rotobrush and Nikro equipment already loaded. The older homes near Main Street and the new subdivisions off Highway 71 each present different duct problems, and we plan for both before we pull up. If you’ve noticed dust settling back on furniture days after cleaning, or one room that never cools evenly, the ducts are usually the culprit. Call (254) 848-6913 and we’ll give you a straight answer about what’s going on in your system.
Key Takeaways:
- Full-system air duct cleaning in Bastrop runs $380 – $620 for most homes.
- Pier-and-beam homes with crawl-space returns need inspection and sealing, not just brushing.
- Every job includes a written price before work starts and the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing.
- We use negative-air extraction with HEPA filtration, so loose dust doesn’t blow back into your living space.
Why Kestrel Air Duct Austin Is Bastrop’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been cleaning ducts under the Kingswell Guarantee since 2004, and the Bastrop homes we see are different from what our crews find in Round Rock or Pflugerville. The east side’s pier-and-beam houses pull air from underneath the floor, which means we’re not just removing dust. We’re pulling out whatever the crawl space sends up: sandy loam particles, humidity, sometimes leaves and nesting material. The newer subdivisions need something else entirely, usually a post-construction cleaning that gets drywall dust out of the blower motor and return plenum before it recirculates through the whole house.
Dale Whitmore runs our operation, and he’s the one who sets the standard for how a cleaning gets done. Every technician follows the Kingswell Way: say the price before any work begins, show up in the window we gave you, leave the job site cleaner than we found it, and put the guarantee in writing. If the work falls short within 365 days, we return and make it right at no charge. That’s not a promotional line. It’s in the paperwork on every single job.
When you call, a live person answers. Not a queue, not an automated tree. That matters when you’re trying to decide whether the dust you’re seeing is normal or whether something’s actually wrong with your system.
Styles & brands we work with




Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Bastrop
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Bastrop covers restaurants, offices, retail spaces, and medical buildings from the historic downtown storefronts on Main Street to the newer commercial strips along State Highway 71. A commercial job in Bastrop generally runs between $850 and $2,400 depending on square footage, duct layout, and whether the system includes multiple rooftop units. We clean offices after hours so daily operations don’t stop, and we handle the higher-traffic dust loading that comes with Bastrop’s long cooling season. Before we touch anything, you get a written price for the whole job.
Multi-Unit and Office Systems
Retail and office buildings often share shared trunk lines that have been accumulating dust for years. We use our Nikro negative-pressure units to pull debris out at the source, not push it deeper into the system. The goal is measurable: less dust on desks, fewer allergy complaints from staff, and a system that doesn’t work harder than it has to.
Restaurant and Kitchen Exhaust Ducts
Restaurants around Bastrop’s growing dining scene have a different problem: grease-laden air moving through HVAC ducts that should be handling clean conditioned air. We coordinate with kitchen exhaust cleaning schedules and focus on the supply and return lines serving the dining room. Cleaner supply air means a cleaner dining experience.
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Bastrop
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Bastrop start with an honest look at what kind of house you have. A 1950s ranch near Main Street with original metal ductwork and floor registers needs a different approach than a 2022 build in The Colony subdivision with a tight envelope and freshly hung drywall dust. Full cleaning in Bastrop runs $380 – $620 for homes up to about 2,500 square feet, with supply duct cleaning and return duct cleaning priced as part of the whole-system job rather than nickel-and-dimed separately. We don’t do per-vent pricing. You get one number, in writing, before any work starts.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts carry conditioned air from your air handler to each room. In Bastrop’s older homes, these runs are often uninsulated metal with a layer of baked-on pollen from the Lost Pines. We use rotary brush agitation to break that layer loose, then HEPA-filtered negative pressure pulls it out instead of letting it settle back into your rooms.

Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts are the intake side of the system. In pier-and-beam homes on Bastrop’s east side, return runs often travel through the crawl space and draw in moisture, dust, and sometimes small animal debris. We inspect them with a video camera before cleaning, because a crushed or disconnected return can make the whole system worse no matter how well the supply side is cleaned.

Trusted Brands We Service in Bastrop
We clean and service ductwork connected to all major HVAC equipment, including Honeywell filtration systems and Aprilaire air cleaners that many Bastrop homeowners already have. When we finish a job, we check the filter housing, air handler, and blower motor so those systems aren’t working against the cleaning we just performed. We don’t sell parts you don’t need. If a filter or access panel is worn, we tell you plainly and give you the price to replace it, whether or not you take us up on it.

AfterCommon Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Bastrop Homes
- Crawl-space returns pulling dust and humidity. Pier-and-beam homes on the east side often have return ducts running under the floor, and when those connections are loose or crushed, the system inhales crawl-space air all summer long.
- Packed pollen layers from the Lost Pines. Oak, cedar, and pine pollen from Bastrop’s surrounding ecoregion gets pulled into the system every spring, then bakes onto hot metal ducts during the long cooling season.
- Drywall dust in new subdivisions. Homes built in the last few years south and east of downtown often still carry construction dust in the air handler and return plenum, long after the builders have handed over the keys.
- Original ductwork that’s never been opened. A 1960s ranch with the original metal ducts may have years of accumulated sandy loam dust, pet hair, and insulation fragments sitting in the runs. Brushing alone won’t fix a system that’s never been properly inspected.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Bastrop, TX
A full system cleaning for a typical Bastrop home runs $380 – $620. Smaller homes or single-story condos sometimes run less; larger homes with multiple zones or ductwork that needs sealing repairs can push toward $800. Commercial work ranges $850 – $2,400. What changes the price? The size of the house, the amount of ductwork, whether we’re sealing crawl-space returns, and how much buildup has to come out. You get a written estimate before any equipment comes off the truck, and that price does not change at the door. Call (254) 848-6913 for a free estimate.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Bastrop
Bastrop sits at the edge of the Lost Pines ecoregion, and spring brings heavy oak, cedar, and pine pollen that gets pulled into the HVAC system and baked onto hot metal ducts during the long cooling season. Our techs routinely find a dense, glued-on pollen layer in Bastrop homes that needs rotary brush agitation to break loose, not just negative pressure alone. If your allergies spike indoors, that pollen layer is likely part of the problem. Call (254) 848-6913 and we’ll tell you what’s actually in your ducts.
A crawl-space return duct is the flex or metal run that carries air from your living space back to the air handler, routed through the open space under a pier-and-beam house. In Bastrop’s older east-side homes, these returns often pull in dust, crawl-space humidity, and sometimes nesting material from underneath the house. We inspect them with a video camera before cleaning so we can find crushed or disconnected sections that a basic cleaning would miss.
Yes, and we do it carefully. The original metal ducts in 1950s Bastrop ranchers are often still structurally sound, but the joints and seams may be loose. We use rotary brush agitation sized for the duct, and we inspect every access point before and after cleaning. If a section is too deteriorated, we tell you and give you the repair price separately.
New construction leaves a lot of drywall dust, sawdust, and insulation fibers in the air handler, blower motor, and return plenum. The ducts themselves may look fine, but the system keeps recirculating that construction dust for months after move-in. A post-construction cleaning in Bastrop’s newer subdivisions removes it, and we check the filter housing so the system starts clean.
Bastrop’s hot, humid summers mean the HVAC runs from April through October, and that constant condensation creates an environment where mold can grow inside ducts if moisture is present. Longer runtimes on a humid system raise the risk, especially in crawl-space returns. We inspect for moisture issues during every cleaning and recommend sealing work when we find it. Call (254) 848-6913 for a free estimate.
