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.

AfterAir Duct Cleaning Company in Solana Beach, CA
Air duct cleaning in Solana Beach runs $350 – $650 for most single-family homes, with dryer vent cleaning typically $120 – $220 and duct sealing ranging $800 – $1,800 depending on system size and accessibility. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Garrison Partners family, and our crews handle the specific challenges that come with coastal San Diego County ductwork: salt-air corrosion, marine-layer moisture, and the mixed housing stock that runs from 1950s beach cottages to newer multi-zone builds. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free written estimate.
Why Solana Beach Homes Are Different
Solana Beach sits directly on the Pacific, and that location changes everything about how we approach ductwork here. The marine layer rolls in overnight and lingers through mid-morning most days, pushing humidity levels well above what inland San Diego County experiences. That persistent moisture doesn’t just make the air feel heavy; it creeps into flex duct runs, metal transitions, and attic plenums, creating conditions for mildew and accelerating salt-air corrosion in homes within blocks of the bluff.
The housing stock splits the job types cleanly. West of the 101 and near Fletcher Cove, we find original 1950s-70s ranch homes and beach cottages with short-run galvanized duct or early flex that’s often deteriorated inside from decades of coastal moisture. East toward I-5 and the San Elijo Hills-adjacent areas, newer two- and three-story infill homes and condos have more complex multi-zone systems with better initial construction but harder access points. The Coastal Commission’s strict environmental regulations also mean we select cleaning agents and disposal methods with runoff and local air quality in mind, a constraint that wouldn’t apply a few miles east in Poway or Rancho Santa Fe.
Wildfire season adds another variable. When Santa Ana winds push smoke and ash from canyon fires toward the coast, coastal intake vents pull that particulate straight into Solana Beach duct systems, layering it onto the existing moisture-driven buildup.
Our Main Solana Beach Services
Most calls we get from Solana Beach homeowners fall into three categories: full system cleaning, dryer vent maintenance, and duct sealing for efficiency and air quality.
Air Duct Cleaning in Solana Beach
Our air duct cleaning crews use Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines to dislodge and extract buildup from your entire duct network. In Solana Beach, this means addressing the mildew-prone flex common in pre-1980 cottages near the lagoon and bluff, not just the dry dust we’d find inland. We inspect with cameras before and after, and you’ll see the difference in your own ducts. Air Duct Cleaning in Solana Beach covers our full process, equipment, and what to expect on appointment day.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Solana Beach
Dryer vent cleaning in Solana Beach costs $120 – $220 for most homes and takes 45 – 90 minutes. Coastal humidity here causes lint to clump and stick more stubbornly than in dry climates, and the salt air corrodes exterior vent caps and louvers faster than inland homeowners typically see. We clean the full run from dryer to termination, check airflow with a meter, and replace damaged exterior hardware when needed. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Solana Beach has full details on our process and pricing.
Duct Sealing in Solana Beach
Duct sealing addresses the leaks that let conditioned air escape into attics, crawl spaces, or wall cavities. In Solana Beach’s older stock, we often find separated flex connections and corroded metal seams that bleed efficiency year-round. Our crews apply duct sealing mastic and reinforced tape to accessible joints, then pressure-test to verify the seal. Duct Sealing in Solana Beach explains when sealing beats replacement and how we price it upfront.

Duct sealing that involves structural modification is rare and would be flagged during estimate if permitting applied.
Yes. We regularly work in the older stock near San Elijo Lagoon, Fletcher Cove, and the low-lying areas off Lomas Santa Fe.
