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 Saratoga, CA
Air duct cleaning in Saratoga, CA typically costs $400 – $900 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. The work here differs from standard suburban jobs because Saratoga’s mid-century housing stock, oak woodland pollen loads, and custom-built homes with aging galvanized steel ductwork create conditions that demand specialized equipment and careful handling. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Garrison Partners family, and our crews serve Saratoga from our San Francisco Bay Area dispatch office. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Saratoga Homes Are Different
Saratoga’s Mediterranean climate means HVAC systems run hard from May through September, pulling in dry dust and oak pollen from the surrounding woodlands. Winter rains bring a different problem: moisture intrusion in crawl spaces and attics that can promote mold growth inside ductwork.
The housing stock shapes the work significantly. Most Saratoga homes were built between the 1950s and 1970s, many with original galvanized steel ductwork that may show internal corrosion or loose joints. Newer luxury estates add complexity with multi-zone systems and flexible ducting that traps debris differently. In neighborhoods like Saratoga Woods and near Hakone Gardens, we regularly find ducts clogged with acorn shells and nesting debris from squirrels and birds. That means cleaning often pairs with pest-proofing and restoration work, not just vacuuming.
Original mid-century ductwork here is more prone to leaks and pest intrusion than modern flex systems. A standard cleaning without inspecting for these conditions leaves the root problem intact.
Our Main Saratoga Services
Most Saratoga homeowners call us for one of these three services. Each has its own dedicated Saratoga page with full details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Saratoga
We clean the full supply and return duct network using a Rotobrush rotary brush system for contact-based agitation and a Nikro negative-air machine to pull loosened debris out of the home entirely. In Saratoga, this often means navigating original mid-century plenums with corrosion or loose joints that require gentle handling. We inspect each register and trunk line for pest intrusion before sealing the system back up. Air Duct Cleaning in Saratoga
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Saratoga
Dryer vent cleaning removes lint buildup that restricts airflow and creates fire risk. Saratoga’s mature tree cover means exterior vent terminations often sit under oak canopies where leaves and debris collect on the hood, compounding the blockage. We clean the full run from the back of the dryer to the exterior termination and verify airflow with a meter before we leave. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Saratoga
Duct Sealing in Saratoga
Duct sealing closes leaks in the supply and return system using mastic sealant and metal-backed tape at joints and seams. Saratoga’s older galvanized steel systems often leak 20 – 30% of conditioned air into attics and crawl spaces before it reaches the rooms. We pressure-test the system, mark every leak, and seal it by the book so you’re heating and cooling the spaces you actually live in. Duct Sealing in Saratoga
