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 Oakland, FL
Air duct cleaning in Oakland, FL typically costs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system and is scheduled by appointment with a written price locked in before work begins. Oakland homes face a rare dual threat: wildfire smoke from the East Bay hills and year-round mold spores from the damp coastal fog layer, which means duct cleaning here is less about ordinary dust and more about smoke residue and biological contamination. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Garrison Partners family, and we serve Oakland with background-checked, uniformed technicians and professional-grade Rotobrush and Nikro equipment. Call us at (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Oakland Homes Are Different
Oakland’s housing stock is dominated by pre-1950 Craftsman bungalows, Victorians, and post-war stucco ranch homes. Many still run on original galvanized steel or asbestos-wrapped ductwork that’s prone to internal corrosion, loose joints, and rodent intrusion. Cleaning these systems often turns into sealing or replacement work rather than simple vacuuming.
The cool, moist marine layer rolling through the Golden Gate keeps indoor humidity elevated in neighborhoods like Rockridge and Temescal, creating prime conditions for mold growth inside ductwork. Meanwhile, the dry, wind-driven Diablo winds of fall and winter push wildfire smoke deep into hillside homes. In the Oakland Hills, we regularly find ducts clogged with charred debris and fine ash from past wildfires. In the flatlands, raccoons and squirrels nesting in attics tear apart old flexible ducting, leaving droppings and insulation debris that require specialized remediation. These conditions demand filtration strategies that wouldn’t make sense in a drier, smoke-free city.
Our Main Oakland Services
These are the three services Oakland homeowners call us about most often.
Air Duct Cleaning in Oakland
We clean supply and return ducts, registers, and the main trunk lines using a Rotobrush rotary brush system combined with negative-air extraction from Nikro equipment. In Oakland, we pay special attention to smoke residue from wildfire events and mold colonies that thrive in the marine layer’s humidity. We photograph the interior of your ducts before and after so you see what was removed. Air Duct Cleaning in Oakland.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Oakland
Lint accumulation in dryer vents is a leading cause of house fires, and Oakland’s older homes often have vent runs that are too long, too bent, or terminated in crawl spaces that don’t meet current code. We clear the full run from appliance to termination, test airflow, and flag any routing that needs correction. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Oakland.
Duct Sealing in Oakland
Given Oakland’s aging ductwork, we frequently find systems losing 20 – 30% of conditioned air through gaps and disconnected joints. We seal accessible ducts with mastic and metal tape, and we can apply aerosolized duct sealant for leaks hidden inside walls. This work often follows cleaning when inspection reveals the ducts can’t hold pressure. Duct Sealing in Oakland.
