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 Pinole, CA
Air duct cleaning in Pinole typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system, with most jobs scheduled within a week and completed in a single visit. What makes Pinole different from inland Bay Area cities is the marine air off San Pablo Bay, salty particulate, and older galvanized ductwork that traps damp, corrosive dust in ways dry-climate systems don’t. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Garrison Partners family, and we send background-checked, uniformed crews to Pinole homes with Rotobrush rotary systems and Nikro negative-air machines. Call (361) 326-5060 for a written estimate before any work starts.
Why Pinole Homes Are Different
Pinole sits on the northwestern edge of San Pablo Bay, and that geography shapes every duct system we open. Cool, moist marine air rolls in most afternoons, carrying fine bay-mud particulate and salt that inland cities never see. The housing stock here skews heavily post-WWII through the 1970s, ranch-style single-stories and some two-story tracts in the hills with original or lightly updated galvanized ductwork. Those slip joints and minimal seals collect damp, salty dust instead of shedding it.
In the older neighborhoods near the shoreline and along the Pinole Creek corridor, we regularly find north- and west-facing registers show noticeably more rust and black staining than south- or east-facing ones. That’s the salt load hitting where the wind hits. The same moisture that keeps Pinole cooler than Concord or Walnut Creek also keeps duct interiors damp enough for dust mites and mold spores to persist. Cleaning here means addressing the register boots and plenum junctions where salty air first enters, not just running a brush down the trunk line.
Our Main Pinole Services
Pinole homeowners call us for three jobs, each with its own page and pricing.
Air Duct Cleaning in Pinole
We clean the full supply and return system with a Rotobrush rotary brush and Nikro negative-air machine, pulling debris toward the vacuum so nothing escapes into your living space. In Pinole, we pay special attention to the plenum and register boots where bay salt collects and corrodes metal edges. Every job gets a written price before we start and is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Air Duct Cleaning in Pinole covers full details and exact pricing.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pinole
Lint buildup in dryer vents is a fire hazard, and Pinole’s marine humidity makes lint clump and stick more than in drier climates. We run a rotary brush through the full vent length to the exterior termination, then airflow-test to confirm unrestricted exhaust. Background-checked technicians, written price upfront, and the same year-long guarantee. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pinole has the full breakdown.
Duct Sealing in Pinole
Older Pinole ductwork with slip joints and corroded seals leaks conditioned air into attics and crawl spaces. We apply mastic sealant and mechanical fasteners at every joint, then pressure-test to verify the seal holds. For homes with galvanized systems near the bay, sealing slows salt infiltration and improves airflow to every room. Duct Sealing in Pinole explains the process and what it costs.
