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.
Fast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Maywood
Air duct cleaning in Maywood typically runs $350 – $650 for a full residential system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and our Air Duct Cleaning in Maywood crews know the difference between a routine blowout and the repair-and-seal work this city’s older housing stock actually needs.

Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate with a written price before any work starts.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Maywood’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been in business since 2004 as part of the Garrison Partners family, and our reputation in Maywood was built on showing up inside the quoted window and pricing in writing before we touch anything. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every job: if the work fails within a year, we return and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and you’ll know who’s arriving before they get there. Phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No voicemail loops. No callback queues.
What separates us in Maywood specifically is that we don’t treat a 1940s bungalow on Slauson Avenue like a new build in an inland suburb. We expect original sheet-metal trunks, retrofitted flex in crawlspaces with 18 inches of clearance, and return-air leaks pulling dust from the alley. That local knowledge means we quote accurately and finish without surprises.
Vent Cleaning in Maywood
Vent Cleaning in Maywood means more than brushing off register covers in a city where most homes were built before 1960 and many vents haven’t been opened in decades. The job involves removing each supply and return register, agitating the duct walls with rotary brushes under negative pressure, and HEPA-filtering the debris so it doesn’t resettle in your living room. In Maywood’s small bungalows, vent cleaning typically costs $150 – $280 for supply vents only, or $280 – $420 when combined with return vent cleaning as part of a full system service. Most homeowners need this every 3 – 5 years, sooner if they’ve done recent remodeling or notice dust reappearing within days of cleaning.
Supply Vent Buildup
Supply vents in Maywood’s original stucco homes often show black streaking on the ceiling around the register, a sign of particulate blowing past a clogged filter or leaking duct connection upstream. We trace that streaking to its source rather than wiping the cosmetic stain and calling it done.
Return Vent Blockage
Return vents sit low on walls in these older floor plans, making them collection points for pet hair, street dust, and debris tracked in from narrow sidewalks and alleys. A blocked return vent forces your blower motor to work harder and shortens its lifespan.
Air Duct Repair in Maywood
Air Duct Repair in Maywood is frequently the real need hiding behind a “cleaning” request, because original sheet-metal and baked flex duct in this city’s tight attics doesn’t fail gracefully. We find crushed runs, disconnected collars, and torn flex at the air handler on roughly half the jobs we quote in Maywood. Repair costs typically run $200 – $450 for sealing and patching existing ductwork, or $450 – $850 when replacement flex or sheet-metal sections are needed. Every repair includes written pricing before work begins and is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Crushed and Disconnected Runs
In Maywood’s low-clearance attics, technicians or homeowners stepping on flex duct to reach storage often crush it flat without knowing. We locate these restrictions with video inspection, then repair or replace the damaged section so air reaches the rooms it was meant to serve.
Heat-Degraded Flex Connections
The inland-adjacent LA Basin bakes attics here for months each year. Flex duct tears at its connection points after repeated thermal cycling. Cleaning torn flex is pointless; we flag it, show you the video, and quote the repair before proceeding.
Trusted Brands We Service in Maywood
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems for agitation cleaning, Nikro negative-air machines for source removal, and filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman. We don’t bring hardware-store vacuums into your home. For Maywood customers, this means we can source Honeywell media filters and Aprilaire sealing components without the multi-week wait times that plague smaller outfits. If your system needs a Guardsman UV light or an Abatement Technologies HEPA upgrade after cleaning, we stock the parts and install them same visit.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Maywood Homes
- Return-air leaks from alley dust. Maywood’s narrow alleys and tight lot lines mean return ducts often pull in dust from neighboring yard work, garage sweeping, and industrial particulate drifting from the LA River corridor. Cleaning without sealing these leaks is temporary at best.
- Unpermitted additions with DIY duct runs. Converted garages and back rooms are common in Maywood, and the flex duct feeding them is usually undersized, unsupported, and disconnected from the main trunk. We trace these runs and explain why your blower can’t keep up.
- Original sheet-metal trunks packed with construction debris. Decades of remodels, roof work, and pest intrusion leave sheet-metal supply trunks filled with material that rotary brushes alone won’t dislodge. We use negative-air extraction with targeted agitation.
- Baked flex duct torn at connections. Maywood’s poorly insulated attics reach temperatures that degrade flex duct adhesive and tear it at collars. Cleaning torn duct wastes money; we identify it with video inspection and quote repair before proceeding.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Maywood, CA
Most full-system air duct cleaning jobs in Maywood fall between $350 and $650 for a typical 1,000 – 1,400 square foot home with 8 – 12 vents. Vent Cleaning alone runs $150 – $280 for supply vents, or $280 – $420 combined with returns. Air Duct Repair adds $200 – $450 for sealing and patching, or $450 – $850 when replacement ductwork is needed. Video inspection is included in our full-system quotes.
What moves the price: the number of vents and returns, accessibility of your attic or crawlspace (Maywood’s low-clearance attics add labor time), whether duct sealing is required to address return-air leaks, and the condition of existing flex duct. We do not quote per-vent teaser prices that balloon at the door. The price is written down before any work starts, and it does not move.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Maywood
Cleaning alone is rarely enough on original sheet-metal systems in Maywood. The real problem is usually return-air leaks at seams and collar connections that pull in dust from alleys and neighboring properties. We include duct sealing assessment in every quote and will show you the leaks with video inspection before you decide. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Fast re-soiling means your return ducts are leaking and pulling in unfiltered air from the attic, crawlspace, or alley. In Maywood’s tight lots, this is common. We seal the leaks as part of our full-system service so the cleaned ducts stay clean. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll diagnose the source.
Yes, and we see this constantly in Maywood. The DIY flex run feeding your converted space is usually undersized and disconnected from the main trunk, which overworks your blower and leaves the room uncomfortable. We trace these runs during cleaning and explain what repair is needed to balance the system. Call (361) 326-5060 for an assessment.
We use Rotobrush rotary brush systems for agitation and Nikro negative-air machines for source removal, both with HEPA filtration. In Maywood’s low-clearance attics, we also use flexible video inspection scopes to locate crushed or torn runs before we commit to a cleaning plan. The equipment is professional-grade, not hardware-store gear.
Dryer vent cleaning is a separate safety issue. In Maywood’s older homes, dryer vents often run through walls or under the house with multiple bends that lint plugs over time. A blocked dryer vent is a fire hazard and forces your dryer to run longer, raising your electric bill. We clean dryer vents as a standalone service and inspect the run for proper termination while we’re there. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule.
