Post-Construction Air Duct Cleaning in Houston, TX

Drywall dust, sawdust and insulation fibers get pulled into the HVAC system during construction. We clean them out before you move in — or right after the remodel — so the dust does not keep circulating for years.

Quick answer

Do new homes and remodels really need air duct cleaning?

Yes. During drywall sanding, flooring and painting, the return pulls fine dust straight into the system, and builders often run the AC before vents are covered. That dust coats the coil and blower and is blown out every time the system runs. A post-construction cleaning priced at $199–$399 for most homes removes it in one visit and protects new equipment.

Overview

What is post-construction air duct cleaning?

Construction dust is finer than household dust and it does not stay put. Drywall gypsum is gritty and wears on blower bearings; sawdust and insulation fibers lodge in register boots and returns. Remodels that only touched one room still spread dust through the whole duct system because the return is shared.

We clean every supply and return under negative pressure, remove debris dropped into floor and ceiling boots, clean the blower and coil area, and replace the builder filter. For whole-home renovations we recommend scheduling after final sanding and paint, and before furniture moves in.

Post-Construction Air Duct Cleaning is part of our air duct cleaning services. Many customers book it together with air duct cleaning.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

After the last drywall sanding, painting and flooring work, and before you move furniture in. Cleaning earlier means dust from later work will settle back into the ducts.

Yes. We schedule around the construction calendar and provide photo documentation for punch lists and property managers.

Fine gypsum dust can coat the coil and wear blower bearings, reducing efficiency and shortening equipment life.
