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.

Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Rocklin’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been part of the Garrison Partners family since 2004, and our Rocklin customers know what that means. The Garrison Standard requires arriving inside the quoted window, pricing in writing, completing the job by the book, and leaving the site clean. No exceptions.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. You know who’s walking into your home before they arrive. And our phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No voicemail loops, no callback queues, no waiting until Monday for someone to pick up.

We coordinate scheduling from our Sacramento office, but the crew that rolls to your Rocklin home knows the local conditions: the extended fire season that runs May through October, the valley inversions that trap smoke against the Sierra foothills, and the specific duct configurations common in Whitney Ranch and Stanford Ranch builds from the 1990s and 2000s.
Ductwork Cleaning in Rocklin
Ductwork Cleaning in Rocklin means pulling built-up debris from the full supply and return network, including the main trunk lines, branch ducts, and registers, using professional rotary brush systems and negative-air machines. In Rocklin’s climate, this isn’t a cosmetic service. The hot, dry summers draw in dust and pollen from open land and unpaved roads, while wildfire season deposits fine ash and PM2.5 that standard filters can’t catch. Most Rocklin homeowners schedule this every 3 – 5 years for suburban homes, but rural properties on unpaved or graded-dirt driveways often need attention every 2 – 3 years due to heavier particulate loading.
A typical whole-home Ductwork Cleaning in Rocklin runs $350 – $650 depending on system size, accessibility, and contamination level. Outbuilding or detached shop systems add $200 – $400. We use Rotobrush rotary brush systems for mechanical agitation and Nikro negative-air machines to maintain suction and prevent debris from escaping into your living space during the job.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts push conditioned air into your rooms. In Rocklin’s two-story homes, especially those near Stanford Ranch with attic-mounted air handlers, the upstairs supply runs collect more dust and smoke odor because they sit closer to attic heat and have longer horizontal spans. Our techs isolate each zone and run brushes sized to the duct diameter so nothing gets missed.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the handler for reconditioning. These are your system’s lungs, and in rural Rocklin properties they’re the first point of entry for road dust, pollen, and wood-heat ash. We inspect returns with a camera before agitation to see what’s actually stuck to the walls, not just what blew loose.
Air Duct Inspection in Rocklin
Air Duct Inspection in Rocklin gives you a clear picture of what’s inside your ductwork before you decide whether cleaning is worth it. We run a video camera through the supply and return lines, record what we find, and show you the footage. In Rocklin, this is especially valuable after wildfire season or if you’re noticing persistent odors, uneven airflow, or dust that returns quickly after cleaning. An inspection costs $150 – $250 and is credited toward the cleaning if you move forward.
Rocklin’s housing stock varies sharply. The planned communities of Whitney Ranch and Stanford Ranch have flexible ductwork in unconditioned attics, prone to pest intrusion and smoke residue accumulation. Rural properties past Twin Oaks Road often have metal ductwork in outbuildings that corrodes or separates at joints from vibration and temperature swings. The inspection tells us which problem we’re looking at.
Video Documentation
We record the full inspection and provide timestamped footage. You see the ash buildup, the dust loading, or the disconnected joint exactly where we found it. No guessing, no sales pressure. The footage belongs to you.
Written Findings and Options
After the inspection, you get a written report with photos, contamination level, and a flat price for any recommended work. The price is fixed before we start. It does not move at the door.
Trusted Brands We Service in Rocklin
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems for mechanical agitation, Nikro negative-air machines for controlled debris removal, and filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman. These are the same tools commercial crews use, not hardware-store gear. For Rocklin customers, this means we can source replacement filtration components quickly without waiting on national shipping delays. If your system needs a filter upgrade after cleaning, we stock Guardsman and Honeywell media that fit the common residential handlers found in Rocklin’s 1990s and 2000s housing stock.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Rocklin Homes
- Wildfire ash infiltration in attic ducts. After fires like the Camp Fire and Caldor Fire, we find fine ash coating the interior of flexible ductwork in unconditioned attics, especially in two-story homes where upper supply runs sit closest to the hot attic air. Standard 1-inch filters are overwhelmed by PM2.5 particles and let the ash through.
- Road dust loading in rural returns. Properties on unpaved or graded-dirt driveways pull far more particulate into return ducts than suburban homes. The dust cakes on duct walls and doesn’t release without mechanical agitation. Skipping the brush pass leaves it behind.
- Smoke odor trapped in upstairs zones. In Rocklin’s two-story homes, the upstairs ducts near the attic air handler collect more smoke odor and dust than downstairs runs. Treating the system as a single zone leaves those upper runs under-cleaned and the odor persists.
- Low MERV filters in high-dust environments. Homes near open land with unpaved access need higher filtration ratings. A low MERV filter lets fine particulates bypass and load the air handler and blower motor, shortening equipment life and circulating dirty air.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Rocklin, CA
Whole-home residential duct cleaning in Rocklin runs $350 – $650 for a typical single-system house. Larger homes with multiple zones or extensive contamination from wildfire ash fall toward the upper end. Commercial systems start around $800 and scale with square footage and HVAC complexity. Outbuilding or detached shop ductwork adds $200 – $400 depending on access and whether the system is independent or tied to the main house.
What moves the price: system size, number of registers, contamination level, accessibility (crawl space vs. attic vs. conditioned space), and whether we need to set up containment for HEPA filtration during wildfire-ash jobs. We do not price per vent. One flat price per system, agreed in writing before work starts. No add-ons at the door.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Rocklin
Every 2 – 3 years, not the 3 – 5 year interval typical for suburban homes. The combination of road dust, pollen from open land, and wood-heat ash loads returns faster than in planned communities with paved infrastructure. If you heat with wood and your driveway is graded dirt or gravel, lean toward the shorter end of that range. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll inspect to tell you where your system stands.
Yes. During extended fire season, roughly May through October, Sacramento Valley inversions trap smoke plumes against the Sierra foothills and drive fine ash into Rocklin homes through every gap in the envelope. Standard cleaning without HEPA containment and negative-air isolation can redistribute that ash into living spaces. We set up Nikro negative-air machines with HEPA filtration and use Rotobrush agitation specifically sized to dislodge fine particulate without damaging flexible ductwork. The goal is extraction, not redistribution.
Upstairs supply and return ducts in Rocklin’s two-story homes sit closer to attic heat and often have longer horizontal runs in unconditioned space. After wildfires, fine ash settles in these upper ducts and re-activates when the system cycles. We answered a call in the Stanford Ranch area where the upstairs registers smelled like a campfire long after the last red-flag warning ended. Our tech ran a camera inspection and found fine ash coating the upper supply and return ducts near the attic air handler, so we set up negative pressure with HEPA filtration and used agitation tools to pull the source material out. The homeowner noticed the smoke odor drop out of the upstairs rooms within the first day.
Yes, and we price it as a separate system. Rural Rocklin properties often have detached shops, barns, or guest houses with independent ductwork that loads up on road dust and wood-heat ash on a shorter cycle than the main house. These systems may use metal ductwork that corrodes or separates at joints from temperature swings and vibration. We inspect first, then clean with the same rotary brush and negative-air method. Expect $200 – $400 for a typical outbuilding system.
A full video walkthrough of your supply and return lines, timestamped footage you keep, and a written report with contamination level and flat-price options. The inspection takes 45 – 90 minutes depending on system size and costs $150 – $250, credited toward cleaning if you proceed. In Rocklin, we pay special attention to attic flexible ductwork for pest intrusion and smoke residue, and to rural metal systems for corrosion and joint separation. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule.
