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.

Why Reston Homes Are Different
Reston was founded in 1964 as one of America’s first planned communities, and the original village clusters - Lake Anne, Deepwood, and the early Carpers Farm townhomes - contain ductwork that was installed when the community was built and has often never been professionally cleaned. That 60-year-old galvanized steel and early flex-duct sits under one of the densest tree canopies in Fairfax County, a deliberate design mandate by Robert E. Simon that loads HVAC intakes with oak, tulip poplar, and Virginia pine pollen from March through June.
The combination is distinctive: degrading fiberglass duct liner in Lake Anne Village trunk lines becomes an airborne irritant once HVAC cycles, while the muggy summers (90°F with dew points above 70°F) push humidity into attic chases and crawl spaces where mold colonizes older flex-duct. Shared-wall townhome clusters complicate access further, with duct systems sometimes spanning party walls and spreading debris between adjacent units. Homes along Route 50 and Lawyers Road see the same pollen loads with newer ductwork, but the vintage stock in Pinecrest and Sunset Hills requires different equipment and inspection protocols.
Our Main Reston Services
Reston homeowners call us most often for deep duct cleaning and dryer vent maintenance, though duct repair is increasingly common as original systems age past sixty years.
Air Duct Cleaning in Reston
We clean every duct run in Reston homes with negative-pressure extraction and rotary brush agitation, photographing the inside of each line before and after. In Lake Anne Village and Deepwood clusters, we regularly find delaminated fiberglass liner that requires specialized handling. Air Duct Cleaning in Reston includes a written price before work starts and a Documented Photo Record delivered when we finish.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Reston
Dryer vents in Reston’s multi-level townhomes often run 25-35 feet through shared walls with multiple elbows, collecting lint in ways that shorter single-family runs do not. We clean the full length with rotary tools and inspect the termination hood for proper clearance. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Reston is quoted in writing before we start.
Duct Repair & Sealing in Reston
Original sheet-metal trunk lines in 1960s Reston clusters develop seam separations and failed supports, while 1980s flex-duct collapses in humid attic spaces. We repair or replace damaged sections and seal leaks with mastic, photographing every repair. Duct Repair & Sealing in Reston comes with a written scope and price upfront.

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in Reston
HVAC cleaning in Reston addresses what the climate and housing stock produce together: evaporator coils coated with pollen and organic debris from the mandated tree canopy, blower assemblies clogged with degrading fiberglass particles from original duct liner, and condensers struggling with cottonwood seed and leaf litter from the dense oak and poplar cover. We treat these components as a system, not isolated parts, because a clean coil means little if the blower behind it is fouled. Our HVAC Cleaning service includes the full Documented Photo Record on every visit.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice buildup on refrigerant lines, weak airflow from registers, or musty odors when AC cycles in Reston’s humid July afternoons.
What it costs in Reston
Evaporator coil cleaning in Reston typically runs $180-$320, depending on access and contamination level.
How we do it
We remove the coil assembly when accessible, apply foaming cleaner, rinse with low-pressure water, and photograph the fins before and after.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Vibration or noise from the air handler, uneven heating or cooling between rooms, or dust puffing from registers when the system starts.
What it costs in Reston
Blower motor and wheel cleaning in Reston generally costs $150-$280.
How we do it
We remove the blower assembly, clean the wheel blades and housing with compressed air and solvent, balance the wheel, and document with before-and-after photos.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Reston
| Item | Typical range in Reston |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $180-$320 |
| Blower cleaning | $150-$280 |
| Full HVAC system cleaning (coil, blower, condenser) | $380-$620 |
How do I know my HVAC needs cleaning versus just my ducts?
If your registers are clean but rooms heat or cool unevenly, or you smell must when AC runs, the problem is likely in the coil or blower, not the duct runs. Call (571) 526-0015 and we’ll inspect both and put a written price to each option.
Can you clean HVAC components in Reston’s tight attic spaces?
Yes, we regularly work in the shallow attic chases of Fox Mill Estates and Glenbrooke Woods homes where ductwork runs through unconditioned space, using portable equipment when full-size tools won’t fit. We photograph access limitations and solutions as part of the standard job record.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Reston
Air quality work in Reston starts with what we find inside the ductwork: mold in humid crawl-space flex-duct, bacteria thriving on organic debris trapped by dense pollen loads, and odors from decades of accumulated material in original systems. The preserved tree canopy that makes Reston visually distinctive also makes its HVAC systems biologically active in ways newer suburbs are not. Our Air Quality & Sanitizing service treats these problems with documented application of EPA-registered products and, where appropriate, permanent hardware solutions.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Visible black or green growth on register edges, persistent musty smell when HVAC cycles, or recent water intrusion in crawl spaces or attic chases.
What it costs in Reston
Mold treatment for affected duct runs in Reston typically ranges $280-$450, with whole-system treatment higher.
How we do it
We apply Abatement Technologies-approved antimicrobial fog to affected runs, mechanically remove visible growth, and photograph every treated surface before and after.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring mold despite cleaning, chronic allergy symptoms that worsen when HVAC runs, or a home in Pinecrest or Sunset Hills with poor crawl-space ventilation.
What it costs in Reston
UV-C light installation in Reston air handlers generally costs $320-$480 including hardware and labor.
How we do it
We mount a Guardsman UV-C lamp in the supply plenum, wire to the blower circuit for automatic operation, and show you the installation photo in your job record.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Reston
| Item | Typical range in Reston |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment (affected runs) | $280-$450 |
| UV-C light installation | $320-$480 |
| Whole-system sanitizing | $340-$580 |
Is mold in my ducts dangerous or just unpleasant?
Most duct mold in Reston is allergenic, not toxic, but the combination of mold spores and degrading fiberglass particles from old liner can irritate airways significantly. We photograph what we find and explain the specific type and extent before treating.
Will UV lights actually prevent mold in Reston’s humid summers?
UV-C lamps inhibit mold growth on the coil and in the plenum where they’re installed, but they don’t clean existing debris or reach deep into duct runs; we recommend them as part of a maintained system, not a standalone fix. Call (571) 526-0015 for a written assessment of whether UV makes sense for your home’s specific layout.

- Devon A."The dryer vent was almost completely blocked with lint. They showed me the photograph and I understood immediately why the dryer had been running twice."
