Family Owned Air Duct Cleaning
It's our story.
The story behind our family-owned air duct cleaning business.
For nearly four decades, Craig has dedicated his career to helping homeowners and businesses improve the safety and air quality of their properties.When you call Advance Air Duct Cleaning, you're not scheduling with a large franchise or a rotating crew. You're working directly with the owner-someone who has built his reputation one customer at a time through honesty, hard work and attention to detail.Today, Craig still personally answers the phone and performs every job, bringing nearly 40 years of experience to every home and business he visits.
Where It All Began
In 1988, at just 21 years old, Craig started Advance Chimney Sweep with a simple goal- to build a business that people could trust. Several years later, after we married in 1995, we decided to take a leap of faith and expand into professional air duct cleaning. With a loan from my family, we purchased a custom-built air duct cleaning truck that was being built in Washington. When it was finished, we loaded up our three young children in my grandpa's motorhome and drove to Washington together. Craig drove the motorhome home while I drove our brand new custom-built air duct cleaning truck back to California. That truck wasn't just a vehicle. It represented our future, our family's hopes, and a dream we were determined to build together.

Nearly 40 Years Later
What began as one young man's dream has grown into a family business built on honesty, hard work, and relationships that span generations.Today, Craig still personally performs every air duct cleaning job. He answers the phone, schedules the appointments, and shows up himself. While much has changed since 1988-from the equipment we use to the types of projects we handle-our commitment to treating every customer with care has never changed.Over the years, we've been fortunate to build lasting relationships with many of the HVAC companies throughout Kern County. We're proud that so many have trusted us with their customers whenever professional air duct cleaning is needed, and we're grate for those partnerships that continue today.Watching our youngest son build his own HVAC business has been one of our greatest joys. Seeing him follow in his dad's footsteps-serving customers with the same work ethic and commitment to quality-reminds us that hard work and integrity are values worth passing on.We are grateful to every homeowner, business owner, HVAC contractor and restoration professional who has trusted us over the years. Your support has allowed our family to do what we love for nearly four decades.For us, it has never been just about cleaning air ducts. It's about taking care of the people who invite us into their homes and businesses.Thank you for being part of our story. We look forward to serving Kern County for many years to come.-Craig & Angie (angie@advanceairducts.com)
