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 Calimesa, CA
Most Calimesa homeowners pay between $380 and $620 for a full residential air duct cleaning, with dryer vent runs adding $140 to $220 and whole-home duct sealing ranging from $1,200 to $2,400 depending on system size and accessibility. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Garrison Partners family, and our crews dispatch from the Inland Empire office to handle the specific conditions that make Calimesa jobs different from work anywhere else in Riverside County. Call us at (361) 326-5060 for a written estimate before any work starts.
Why Calimesa Homes Are Different
Calimesa sits directly in the San Gorgonio Pass wind corridor, where Pacific and desert air masses collide and produce sustained winds that regularly exceed 40 mph. That same force driving the area’s wind turbines also forces fine desert dust, wildfire ash, and pollen through every gap in a home’s envelope and straight into the HVAC system. After every Santa Ana event or nearby fire season, we field a rush of calls from homeowners who’ve wiped gray film off their vent registers and realized it’s inside the ducts too.
The housing stock compounds the challenge. Much of Calimesa was built between the 1980s and 2000s, with flexible ductwork and builder-grade air handlers that weren’t designed for near-constant summer runtime. In July and August, when temperatures push past 100 degrees and systems run 16 to 20 hours daily, those flexible ducts sag, collect debris in low spots, and leak conditioned air into attics and crawl spaces. Manufactured homes in the area’s 55+ communities present their own issues: smaller gauge ducting, tighter access, and filters that clog faster than standard residential units.
We’ve learned to approach Calimesa with equipment that handles both the debris load and the duct types. Our Rotobrush rotary brush systems navigate flexible ductwork without tearing the liner, and our Nikro negative-air machines pull loosened material out rather than pushing it deeper into the system. The goal isn’t just cleaner ducts; it’s a system that can handle the next wind event without recirculating what blew in.
Our Main Calimesa Services
Calimesa homeowners call us most often for three jobs, each with its own page and pricing details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Calimesa
We clean the full supply and return network, from the main trunk lines to each register, using rotary brush agitation paired with negative-air extraction. In Calimesa, we pay particular attention to the dust loading that builds up during Santa Ana season, and we inspect flexible ductwork for sagging or separation at the joints. Every job gets a written price before we start and before-and-after photos of your own ducts. Air Duct Cleaning in Calimesa
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Calimesa
Lint accumulation in dryer vents is a genuine fire hazard, and Calimesa’s dry climate means static buildup worsens the problem. We run a rotary brush through the full vent run to the exterior termination, then verify airflow with a meter. If your vent routes through the roof or a long horizontal run common in newer Calimesa tracts, we flag the extra access time in the written price. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Calimesa
Duct Sealing in Calimesa
Sealing leaky ducts with mastic and mechanical fasteners stops conditioned air from escaping into attics and crawl spaces. In Calimesa, this matters more than most places because you’re paying to cool air that’s being pulled out by the Pass winds and replaced with hot, dusty intake. We pressure-test the system before and after to document the improvement, and we only seal what we can prove is leaking. Duct Sealing in Calimesa
