Kestrel Air Duct Austin is part of the Kingswell family of companies, founded in 2004. Every job we do in Round Rock runs under the Kingswell Guarantee: a written price before work begins, a defined arrival window, a clean job site, and a written guarantee on the work itself. Dale Whitmore leads our team, and he’s built the company around one idea: say the price, show up, do the job right, and stand behind it in writing.
Why Kestrel Air Duct Austin Is Round Rock’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Round Rock homeowners call us because we answer the phone. A live person picks up, day or night. Not a voicemail queue.

Our background-checked, uniformed technicians arrive in the window we gave you, and the written price is already in your hands before a single vent is touched.
We’ve cleaned ducts in hundreds of Round Rock homes, from 1990s builds in Turtle Creek to 2010s homes in Paloma Lake. The feedback we hear most often is that our written guarantee is the first time a contractor actually put their promises on paper. The 365-Day Done Right Promise means if the work falls short within a year, we return and make it right at no charge. That’s not a courtesy; it’s in writing on every job. Dale Whitmore has held the Kingswell Guarantee as the company standard since day one.
Our crews use Rotobrush rotary brush systems to dislodge debris at the duct wall, Nikro negative-pressure units to pull contaminants out, and Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration to keep loosened particles out of your living space. Real commercial equipment, not a shop vac from a big-box store.
Styles & brands we work with




Air Duct Repair in Round Rock
Air Duct Repair in Round Rock usually means one of three things: sealing leaks in flexible duct runs, replacing crushed or disconnected sections, and repairing the plenum connections at the air handler. In tract homes built between 1990 and 2010, we commonly find flex duct that has sagged, kinked, or pulled loose from the register boot, especially in attics that hit 130 degrees in August. A disconnected return duct pulls attic air, insulation fibers, and limestone dust straight into the system.
Repair costs in Round Rock run $150 to $400 for a typical single-point fix like a disconnected boot or a crushed flex run. Full duct replacement in a larger two-story home can run $1,500 to $3,500 depending on linear footage. We give you the written price before work begins, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every repair.
Leak Sealing and Airflow Restoration
A 10% duct leak raises your cooling bill by roughly 10% in a Round Rock summer. We use mastic sealant and foil tape, not duct tape, to close gaps at joints and boots. Then we measure static pressure before and after to confirm the airflow is actually better.
Crushed and Disconnected Flex Runs
Attic heat hardens the outer jacket on older flex duct, and the inner liner can separate. In homes along Gattis School Road where attics get especially hot, we find this more often than in shaded neighborhoods. We replace the damaged section with properly sized flex, reconnect it, and seal both ends.
Ductwork Cleaning in Round Rock
Ductwork Cleaning in Round Rock means cleaning the entire duct system: supply runs, return runs, the plenum, the air handler, and every register and grille. We don’t just vacuum the visible vents. The Rotobrush agitates debris off the duct walls while the Nikro negative-pressure unit creates a controlled vacuum that pulls the loosened material out of the house. HEPA filtration on the Abatement Technologies equipment means dust doesn’t recirculate into your living room while we work.
Full-system cleaning for a typical 2,000 to 3,000 square foot Round Rock home runs $450 to $700. Two-story homes with two separate systems run higher, typically $800 to $1,100. The price is written and agreed before we start. No per-vent pricing. No door-step revisions.
Full System Cleaning with Video Inspection
We offer video inspection before and after the job. You see the inside of your ducts on a screen, and you see the same ducts after we finish. That’s how you know the work was actually done, not just invoiced. In newer Round Rock subdivisions where builders left debris behind, the before-and-after footage is dramatic.
Supply and Return Duct Cleaning
Returns pull air from your living space, so they collect the dust, pet hair, and pollen that settles inside your home. Supplies push conditioned air back out, so they blow whatever’s in them into every room. We clean both, in every register, in every run. Partial cleaning is not a service we offer.
Trusted Brands We Service in Round Rock
We service and clean duct systems regardless of who installed them, and we work around Round Rock’s most common HVAC brands. When filtration is part of the conversation, we stock and install Honeywell and Aprilaire media filters and IAQ products for homeowners who want to maintain clean air between service visits. If you’ve got a system with a central return in the hallway of a 2000s-era home or a dual-return layout in a newer two-story, we know how to access and clean both configurations properly. No box-store filters, no guesswork.

AfterCommon Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Round Rock Homes
- Construction debris left by the builder. Drywall dust, sawdust, and fast-food wrappers inside the ducts are common in homes built in Round Rock since the 1990s. No amount of homeowner vacuuming removes debris packed inside the air handler or blower motor; it takes negative-air extraction and brush agitation.
- Cedar and oak pollen filling the central returns. The Hill Country pollen load from December through March is among the heaviest in Texas. Pollen accumulates in the return duct and the blower compartment, reducing airflow exactly when your AC starts cycling harder in the spring shoulder season.
- Limestone quarry dust coating the blower and air handler. Round Rock’s namesake quarries release fine limestone particulate into the air, especially on windy days near the east side of town. That dust coats the blower motor and can cause premature bearing wear if left uncleaned.
- Crushed flex runs in hot attics. Attics in Round Rock regularly exceed 130 degrees in July and August. The heat degrades the outer jacket on flexible ductwork, and we frequently find runs that have sagged, kinked, or separated entirely.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Round Rock
Most new-build homeowners in Round Rock should have the ducts inspected within the first three to six months, and cleaning is often warranted at that point. In the Behrens Ranch subdivision, our crew used camera inspection and negative pressure with HEPA filtration to remove drywall dust and sawdust from supply and return ducts in a home that had closed just 90 days earlier. Builders had left debris in the air handler and blower motor, and we cleaned all registers and duct runs to NADCA standards, restoring airflow before the first summer heat wave. If you’ve just closed on a new home in Round Rock, call (254) 848-6913 and we’ll inspect the system and give you a straight answer.
Yes. Limestone dust is finer and more abrasive than typical household dust, and Round Rock’s quarries produce a consistent ambient load that settles into the blower motor and air handler. That fine particulate accelerates bearing wear and coats the blower wheel, reducing airflow over time. In our experience, Round Rock systems need attention more often than comparable homes in cooler cities, and the quarry dust is a major reason. The good news is that our Rotobrush and Nikro equipment removes it thoroughly. Call (254) 848-6913 for an estimate.
NADCA is the National Air Duct Cleaners Association, and its standard requires cleaning all supply and return ducts, the air handler, the blower, and all registers and grilles to a specified level of cleanliness. We follow NADCA standards on every Round Rock job, and we document the work with before-and-after video. That’s what gives you verifiable proof the cleaning was done correctly. If you want to know more about the standard or how we apply it to your home, call (254) 848-6913.
Most Round Rock homes should have their ducts cleaned every three to five years, which is more frequent than the five-to-seven-year interval common in cooler, lower-pollen cities. The combination of continuous AC operation, heavy cedar and oak pollen, and limestone quarry dust means Round Rock systems accumulate debris faster. If you have pets or recently completed a remodel, shorten that interval. For an exact recommendation for your home, call (254) 848-6913; we’ll give you a straight answer without a sales pitch.
Yes, cleaning the ducts removes the accumulated pollen, dust, and particulate that your HVAC system recirculates during cedar fever season. Cedar pollen from the Hill Country fills central returns and flexible ductwork in Round Rock homes from December through February, and a clean system means fewer allergens blowing through the rooms when the heat or AC kicks on. Pair the cleaning with a Honeywell or Aprilaire media filter, and the improvement is noticeable. Call (254) 848-6913 for a free estimate.
