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.

AfterFast, Reliable Duct Sealing Across Nuevo
Duct sealing in Nuevo typically runs $450 – $1,200 for a whole-home system, and most jobs are completed in a single visit. If your utility bills have climbed without explanation, or certain rooms never reach the temperature you set, leaky ductwork is the likely culprit. Call Hollis Air Duct Cleaning at (361) 326-5060 for a free written estimate.
We’re familiar with the homes along Nuevo Road and the neighborhoods tucked between the dairies and the newer warehouse developments off the I-215 corridor. Our crews dispatch from the Inland Empire office and carry the tools and materials needed for Nuevo’s specific housing stock: ranch-style homes from the 1950s through the 1990s with flexible ductwork that has baked in attics for decades. We know the difference between the fine reddish dust the Santa Ana winds deposit and the heavier agricultural particulate that comes with living near active dairy operations. That local knowledge matters when we’re deciding whether your system needs sealing, replacement, or both.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Nuevo’s Preferred Duct Sealing Company
We’ve built our reputation in Riverside County on The Garrison Standard: written prices before any work starts, background-checked uniformed technicians, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise backed in writing. Nuevo homeowners aren’t looking for the lowest teaser quote. They’re looking for a crew that shows up inside the window, explains what they found, and leaves the site clean.
Our technicians understand the local conditions that stress ductwork here. They know that attic temperatures in Nuevo can exceed 140°F in July, accelerating the deterioration of duct tape and mastic seals. They’ve crawled through the tight spaces beneath homes near Lakeview and along the older stretches of Ramona Expressway. When we quote a job, we quote it for the actual condition of your system, not a fantasy version.
Calls are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No voicemail loops, no callback queues. Scheduling is coordinated from our Inland Empire office, and we serve Nuevo with the same discipline we apply in every community where Hollis operates.
Duct Sealing Services in Nuevo
Duct Sealing Services in Nuevo address the leaks, gaps, and disconnected joints that let conditioned air escape before it reaches your living spaces. Most Nuevo homes lose 20 – 30% of heated or cooled air through duct leaks, which means you’re paying to condition your attic or crawlspace instead of your bedrooms. Our Duct Sealing team uses professional-grade mastic compounds and metal-backed tape, not the hardware-store foil tape that fails within a season in Nuevo’s attic heat. A typical whole-home duct sealing job in Nuevo runs $450 – $1,200, depending on system accessibility and the extent of damage.
Leak Detection and Assessment
We pressurize your duct system and use smoke pencils and thermal imaging to locate every leak, including the ones hidden behind insulation or buried in attic insulation. You’ll see the problem areas before we touch a tool. This assessment is included in every sealing quote we provide in Nuevo.
Mastic Sealing and Joint Reinforcement
Our technicians apply water-based duct mastic, a thick sealant that remains flexible in temperature extremes and bonds to metal, fiberglass, and flexible duct. We reinforce every joint with mesh tape embedded in mastic, creating a seal that outlasts the original construction in Nuevo’s demanding attic environment.

Duct Insulation in Nuevo
Duct Insulation in Nuevo protects the air you’ve already paid to condition from the brutal attic temperatures that characterize Riverside County summers. Uninsulated or poorly insulated ducts in Nuevo attics can gain 15 – 25°F before the air reaches your vents, which explains why some rooms never cool down despite the compressor running constantly. We install formaldehyde-free fiberglass duct wrap and reflective radiant barrier insulation sized to your existing ductwork. A typical duct insulation project in Nuevo runs $600 – $1,800 for a complete system, with partial retrofits available for problem zones.
Attic Duct Wrap Installation
We wrap existing metal or fiberglass ductboard with R-6 or R-8 fiberglass insulation, secured with mechanical fasteners and sealed at every seam. In Nuevo’s attics, where summer temperatures regularly exceed 140°F, this barrier is the difference between air that arrives at 55°F and air that arrives at 78°F.
Radiant Barrier Retrofit
For ducts in unshaded attics, particularly the older ranch homes near the original town center, we install reflective radiant barrier sheathing that blocks infrared heat transfer. This reduces the thermal load on your insulation and can lower attic temperatures by 20 – 30°F during peak summer hours.
Trusted Brands We Service in Nuevo
Hollis stocks parts and materials from Aprilaire, Abatement Technologies, and Guardsman, the same filtration and sealing products used in commercial HVAC installations across Riverside County. We don’t order after we arrive. Our vans carry mastic compounds rated for 200°F continuous exposure, metal-backed tape that won’t delaminate in Nuevo’s attic heat, and insulation products sized for the flexible ductwork common in local homes. If your system uses specialized components, we source them before the appointment so the job finishes on schedule. We also carry the rotary brush systems and negative-air machines from Rotobrush and Nikro for homeowners who want Air Duct Cleaning in Nuevo completed during the same visit.
Common Duct Sealing Problems We See in Nuevo Homes
- Failed original duct tape at every joint. The foil tape installed when Nuevo’s 1980s tract homes were built turns brittle and falls away after 15 – 20 years in attic heat. We find entire sections of duct held together by dust and gravity.
- Animal damage in crawlspace runs. Rural Nuevo properties near the dairy operations and open fields attract rodents seeking shelter. Chewed flexible duct creates leaks that pull in crawlspace air and distribute it through your home.
- Disconnected trunk lines after Santa Ana wind events. The same high winds that deposit reddish valley dust through every gap can shift attic ductwork, pulling connections apart at takeoff points. Homeowners notice the sudden temperature imbalance first.
- Collapsed flexible duct in tight attic spaces. Original flexible duct in Nuevo’s older ranch homes was often strung with minimal support. Over decades, the sag creates kinks that restrict airflow and concentrate stress at the crimp points.
Pricing for Duct Sealing in Nuevo, CA
Whole-home duct sealing in Nuevo typically costs $450 – $1,200. Partial sealing of a single zone or accessible trunk line runs $250 – $500. Duct insulation adds $600 – $1,800 depending on linear footage and attic accessibility. These are the prices you’ll see on your written estimate before any work begins, not numbers that shift once our technician is inside your home.
Several factors move the price within these ranges. Attic crawl height matters: the tight spaces in Nuevo’s older homes take longer to navigate. The extent of existing damage determines material quantities. Homes with original flexible duct from the 1970s or 1980s often need more joint reinforcement than newer construction. We also offer Dryer Vent Cleaning in Nuevo as an add-on service, since the same venting knowledge applies and many homeowners address both systems in one appointment.

FAQs About Duct Sealing in Nuevo
Most Nuevo appointments are scheduled within 3 – 5 business days of your call. We don’t promise same-day dispatch for duct sealing, it’s a scheduled job that requires proper assessment and material preparation. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll find the first available slot that works for your schedule.
We work throughout Nuevo, including the original town center near Nuevo Road, the Lakeview area, and the newer developments along the I-215 corridor toward the warehouse district. Our technicians are familiar with the access challenges of rural properties and the tighter attic spaces of 1970s – 1990s tract homes.
We don’t classify duct sealing as an emergency service, but our phones are answered by a live person 24/7. If a disconnected trunk line has left you without cooling during a 105°F July week, we’ll prioritize your appointment and often fit you in within 48 hours. Call (361) 326-5060 to explain your situation.
Nuevo pricing is comparable to Moreno Valley and Hemet, though homes near active agriculture sometimes require additional filtration steps that can add $75 – $150 to the total. The sticky agricultural dust and diesel particulate common in Nuevo don’t change the sealing process, but they do affect how we protect the system during work. Your written estimate reflects the actual condition of your home, not your zip code.
Every duct sealing job is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If any sealed joint fails, any mastic application cracks, or any connection we reworked separates within one year, Hollis returns and makes it right at no charge, including a free second visit. This applies to all Nuevo work and is backed by the Garrison Partners family of businesses, not a third-party insurer.
