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 Ladera Heights
Air duct cleaning in Ladera Heights typically runs $350 – $650 for a full residential system and is usually completed in a single visit. Most homes in this area need the service every 3 – 5 years, though the 50 – 70 year old ductwork common here often tells a different story once we open it up.
We know Ladera Heights. Our crews have been crawling through the tight attics and slab-adjacent crawlspaces of these Mid-Century Ranch homes for years, from the quiet streets near Stocker Street down toward Slauson Avenue. Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our Los Angeles office, but the technicians who arrive at your door live and work in this market. They understand how the canyon winds along the Ladera Heights ridge create negative pressure that pulls dust and debris through every small leak in original metal ductwork. They know that “mild” coastal climate still means Santa Monica Mountain wildfire ash settling in your returns every fall, and marine layer humidity breeding mold in attic runs that were never designed for modern airflow. When you call (361) 326-5060, you’re talking to someone who can describe your neighborhood without a map.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Ladera Heights’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Our reputation in Ladera Heights was built one written estimate at a time. Homeowners here have seen the bait-and-switch routine, the $99 coupon that balloons to $800 once the van is in the driveway. We don’t operate that way. The price is written down before any work starts, and it does not move at the door.
Our Air Duct Cleaning in Ladera Heights crews arrive inside the quoted window, in uniform, with background-checked technicians who’ve been trained on The Garrison Code. That means arriving squared away, pricing in writing, completing the job by the book, and leaving the site clean. No exceptions.
The 365-Day Done Right Promise backs every job in writing. If the work fails within a year, we return and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. That’s not marketing language. It’s the standard Roy Castellanos set when he built this company, and it’s why homeowners near Ladera Park and along Angeles Vista Boulevard call us back when their neighbors ask who to trust.
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 to schedule.
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Ladera Heights
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Ladera Heights covers the small professional offices, medical suites, and retail spaces along Slauson Avenue and nearby commercial corridors, where aging HVAC infrastructure meets modern air-quality requirements. These buildings often share the same post-war construction timeline as the residential stock, meaning metal ductwork that has never been properly cleaned and may still contain original asbestos wrapping. A typical commercial system in Ladera Heights runs $800 – $1,800 depending on square footage and contamination level.
Office and Medical Suite Cleaning
Professional spaces near Ladera Heights Boulevard need documented cleaning for insurance and liability purposes. We use Nikro negative-air machines to contain debris during the process, with before-and-after photos provided for your records. The rotary brush system breaks loose buildup without damaging fragile original ductwork.
Retail and Restaurant Ventilation
Grease and particulate accumulation in mixed-use buildings requires specialized handling. Our crews identify whether your system needs full commercial duct cleaning or targeted exhaust cleaning, and we price it in writing before any equipment enters the space.
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Ladera Heights
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Ladera Heights address the specific challenges of homes built during the neighborhood’s 1950s – 1970s development boom. Original metal ductwork in these Ranch and Mid-Century Modern homes was frequently undersized for today’s HVAC systems, runs through inaccessible slab-adjacent channels or cramped attics, and has accumulated decades of construction debris, rodent nesting material, and fine particulate from wildfire seasons. A typical residential full-system cleaning in Ladera Heights costs $350 – $650, with video inspection and targeted supply or return line cleaning available at lower price points.
Residential Full System Cleaning
Our Air Duct Cleaning team uses Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air equipment to agitate and extract debris from every accessible line. In Ladera Heights homes, we frequently find original ductwork that has never been cleaned, with disconnected joints hidden in attic insulation and corrosion at slab penetration points.

Video Inspection and Targeted Cleaning
Before we commit to full cleaning, we can run a camera through your system to show you exactly what we’re dealing with. This is especially valuable in Ladera Heights, where asbestos-wrapped ducts require careful handling and may limit which cleaning methods are appropriate for your home.

Trusted Brands We Service in Ladera Heights
Our equipment roster includes professional-grade tools from Nikro and Abatement Technologies, the same negative-air and rotary brush systems used in commercial and industrial settings. For filtration upgrades following cleaning, we stock Honeywell and Aprilaire media filters sized for the older HVAC systems common in Ladera Heights homes. Many of these original furnaces and air handlers were designed for 1-inch disposable filters and struggle with modern high-MERV replacements. We carry the right fit without forcing a hardware-store compromise that starves your system for airflow. Parts are stocked locally through our Los Angeles-area supply chain, so if your cleaning reveals a failed component, we can often source and install it without a return trip.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Ladera Heights Homes
- Decades of accumulated construction debris. Original ductwork in these 1950s – 1970s homes was often left open during construction, and we’ve removed everything from drywall fragments to dropped tools that have been rattling in lines for 60 years.
- Rodent intrusion through corroded slab penetrations. The mild climate means rats and mice are active year-round, and original metal ductwork at foundation entry points often corrodes enough to allow nesting material and droppings into your air stream.
- Disconnected joints hidden in tight attic spaces. Low-pitched Ranch roofs leave minimal working room, and gravity plus thermal cycling slowly separates original duct seams, dumping conditioned air into insulation while pulling attic dust into your returns.
- Asbestos-wrapped ducts requiring modified cleaning protocols. Many Ladera Heights homes retain original asbestos duct insulation that cannot be disturbed with aggressive mechanical brushing; we identify this during video inspection and adjust our method to protect your home and our crew.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Ladera Heights, CA
We believe you deserve to know what this costs before you invite anyone into your home. In Ladera Heights, our typical pricing looks like this:
| Service | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Residential full system cleaning (up to 12 vents) | $350 – $650 |
| Supply duct cleaning only | $200 – $350 |
| Return duct cleaning only | $150 – $275 |
| Video inspection with written report | $125 – $195 |
| Dryer vent cleaning (add-on or standalone) | $125 – $225 |
| Commercial system cleaning | $800 – $1,800 |
What moves the needle: number of vents and returns, accessibility of your attic or crawlspace, presence of asbestos wrapping that requires modified handling, and contamination level. A home with active rodent intrusion and disconnected lines takes longer than a routine maintenance cleaning. The price we write down before work starts accounts for what we find during our initial inspection, not what we “discover” once we’re inside. We also offer Dryer Vent Cleaning in Ladera Heights and Duct Sealing in Ladera Heights as bundled or standalone services.
