Seaview, King County
Duct cleaning is worth doing for a reason, not on a calendar. After a remodel, after moving into a house whose last owners kept pets, after a winter of smoky days, or when the registers show a grey fringe, the inside of the ductwork usually tells the same story. In Seaview our air duct cleaning starts at $535. Square footage, the count of grilles, and whether the trunk line hides behind finished drywall are what move it upward.

Not every Seaview home has ducts. Electricity is the leading heat source in both Census ZIP code areas covering the neighborhood, at roughly half of occupied homes in the south and about three in five in the north, and electric heat can mean baseboards with no ductwork at all. Gas comes second, and oil still heats close to 5 percent of homes in each area. A gas or oil furnace almost always means ducts. So the first thing we ask is how your house is heated.
Every air duct cleaning we do in Seaview includes:
Smoke coming back into the room, or a smell that won't go? Book the inspection first.
Book nowAir in the Puget Sound region is generally clean, which makes the bad days stand out. The Clean Air Agency's 2024 summary reports no wildfire smoke that year, yet the fine-particle goal was still broken: twice in July, when fireworks went up, and up to four times in winter, from chimneys. When smoke does roll in, its advice runs to HEPA purifiers, a homemade alternative (box fan, MERV-13-or-better filter strapped to it), one designated clean room, and a closed fresh-air setting on any air conditioner. Those steps protect the house; a cleaning afterward clears what got into the ducts anyway.
Three or four grilles come off, plus the big return, and a camera records what lies behind them, and confirm the job is worth doing before you commit.
Room openings get taped shut; a big collector hooked to the main trunk keeps the whole system under pull, so dust travels away from your living space.
Branch by branch, a spinning brush or a compressed-air lash knocks the buildup loose and the collector swallows it.
Registers go back on, the blower area is cleaned, a fresh filter goes in, and you get the after photos.

Four steps, each one on paper — so you always know what happens next.
Choose a genuine opening on the crew's calendar. Confirmation is immediate.
Liner, crown, cap, flashing and masonry examined in order — each finding photographed.
One document, plain numbers, covering only the work your chimney genuinely needs.
The repair is completed, then handed over with before-and-after photos of every item.
It starts at $535. Larger homes, more registers and hard-to-reach trunk lines raise the total, which we confirm after a look inside.
Probably not. Baseboard heaters have no ducts. You may still have a bathroom or kitchen exhaust fan worth cleaning, which we can look at on the same visit.
It removes what has already settled. During a smoky stretch, the Clean Air Agency's advice is to filter indoor air and keep outside air out; cleaning is the follow-up.
A $99 on-site inspection, a written quote before any work, and photos of every item we touch.
