Air duct cleaning in Cottonwood Shores starts with a free inspection: photos of what is inside your ducts, a written quote on the spot, and same-day or next-day slots.
Air ducts and indoor air quality first, then dryer vents, chimneys and fireplaces, insulation and water damage from the same crew. Pick a direction or tell us what you are noticing and we point you to the right service.
Air duct cleaning in Cottonwood Shores is not a vacuum held to the register. We open the returns and the supply plenum, photograph what is inside, and clean the full run from the registers to the blower compartment with negative-air equipment and agitation. You see the photos before you see a price, and the price is per line, in writing.
Cottonwood Shores homes experience heavy AC runtime during peak summer months, lake-area humidity, and seasonal allergens common to Central Texas. Over time, these environmental factors can contribute to ductwork buildup and airflow restriction. A duct inspection every few years helps maintain consistent airflow performance and indoor air quality.
Cottonwood Shores includes lake-area residences, established neighborhoods, and seasonal properties. Extended cooling cycles and proximity to Lake LBJ can impact duct system performance over time. We regularly service:
Cottonwood Shores is on our regular route, not a once-a-year trip. Recent Cottonwood Shores jobs have been dryer vent cleaning. We cover the whole of Burnet County, both in-town streets and properties well outside the city limits.

Air Duct Busters is a family-run crew working out of Marble Falls since 2018, with a second base in Bertram. We work in Cottonwood Shores regularly, and more than 870 across Central Texas since we started. The owner, Gary Abdullaev, is a CSIA certified chimney sweep and an HVAC technician, and he is on the trucks, not just on the paperwork.
Cottonwood Shores is five miles from the office on RM 2147, about ten minutes. Every Cottonwood Shores visit starts the same way: we open the system, photograph what is actually in it and hand you a written price per line before anything is touched. If the honest answer is that it does not need cleaning, you get that in writing and pay nothing.
From homeowners across the Highland Lakes and the Austin suburbs, not bought and not filtered.
Ducts, dryer vents, chimneys and attic insulation are the same visit and the same written quote.
Every line on the quote points at something we photographed in your house.
Call +1 (737) 299 19 19 at any hour, seven days a week, and we book the window that suits you.
Cottonwood Shores is five miles from the shop and the housing is unusually mixed for a town its size. Original small lake cottages sit next to houses finished in the last few years, and the two have almost nothing in common underneath: the old ones have short duct runs and window-era retrofits, the new ones have two systems and a fireplace that is decorative most of the year.
Because the water is close on both sides, the air in a closed-up house stays damp. That is what we find: a coil that never fully dries, a return plenum with stained lining, and a dryer hood at ground level that wasps and lint share.
Cottonwood Shores is five miles from the office on RM 2147, about ten minutes. We pass through it on the way to Horseshoe Bay, so visits here get grouped with that side of the lake.
Things Cottonwood Shores homeowners ask about that have nothing to do with the cleaning itself, and everything to do with selling, insuring or getting an HOA form approved.
On the original builds the whole system is short enough that cleaning is quick and honest. If the run is clean we say so and you owe nothing for the look.
Management companies want a dated service record for the dryer vent and the fireplace. We leave a written report with photos on every visit, which is the document they are asking for.
A dryer hood a foot off the ground is an invitation. Screens and a working flap are the cheapest thing we sell and the most often missing here.
The inspection report a buyer orders has separate lines for the fireplace, the flue and the dryer exhaust, and the duct system gets looked at along with the equipment. A written report with photos before you list keeps all of that out of the negotiation.
Six things the crew photographs most often on Cottonwood Shores inspections. If one of them sounds like your house, the inspection is free and the fix is priced in writing.
Clothes take two cycles, the top of the dryer runs hot and the outside flap barely opens. That run gets cleared from the dryer to the cap.
One end of the house never cools no matter what the thermostat says. No amount of cleaning fixes that, so we measure the runs and quote the duct work separately.
A fireplace that smokes back or has not been swept in years. We sweep, inspect and photograph the flue before the first cold front.
Bare spots, settled blown-in and unsealed can lights are the reason upstairs rooms never cool. We measure the depth on every attic visit.
Grey fuzz on the registers and the furniture again. The supply lines and the return plenum are holding what the filter never caught.
A supply line blowing into the attic or a flattened flex run behind the water heater. Found on the inspection, sealed or replaced on the spot.
Dryer vent, attic and chimney get looked at on the same trip as the ducts. One crew, one truck, one written quote.
The number one laundry-room fire risk, and the quickest fix on our schedule. We clear the full run from the dryer to the outside cap, check the routing and the flap, and leave before-and-after photos. Most Cottonwood Shores dryer vents get done on the same visit as the ducts, because lint and dust travel the same paths.
Every attic we open for the ductwork gets its insulation depth measured. Where it is settled, patchy or wet we top it up to a full 14 inches of blown-in, seal the ceiling penetrations underneath and photograph the finished floor. The biggest single lever on a Cottonwood Shores summer electric bill.
Sweep, inspection and photos of the flue, damper and firebox before you light the first fire of the season. Creosote, cracked tiles and blocked caps are what we find most in Cottonwood Shores fireplaces, and the same crew that cleans the ducts handles the repairs.
Each of these has its own Cottonwood Shores page with the price, the process and the jobs we have done here.

They came to do the full inspection of our HVAC system and performed a thorough inspection with photos and a very detailed list of quoted recommendations. Gary and team were punctual the 3 times they came to our home and their price was very reasonable.
Read on GoogleNoah took the time to show us photos from inside the vents and ductwork and clearly explained the level of cleaning needed and why. We really appreciated the transparency and education instead of feeling pressured.
Read on GoogleGary inspected the plenum, there was microbial growth in the insulation. The system was replaced 3 years ago but had the original 20 year old plenum. Gary replaced the plenum and installed a scrubber. We haven't had any allergy problems in our new home so far.
Read on GoogleNoah was straight forward and honest with the evaluation of our dryer vent. When he left I knew twice as much about my home and dryer than before he arrived. Very grateful for the peace of mind.

Yes. Air duct cleaning is the job we do most in Cottonwood Shores: a free inspection with photos of what is inside first, a written per-line price on the spot, then the cleaning. The same crew handles dryer vents, chimneys and attic insulation.
Air duct cleaning starts at $145 per line, counting every supply line and the returns, and that price already includes sanitising and treatment against microbial growth. A typical house on our route has around eleven lines. Dryer vent cleaning starts at $165, the deep clean at $275, and a chimney sweep at $165. The count and the total are written down after the free inspection and before any work, so there is no coupon price that grows once the crew is in the house.
