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.

Call (361) 326-5060 for a free written estimate.
We’ve been dispatching crews from our Seattle office to North Bend since Hollis started serving the Snoqualmie Valley. That means we know the difference between a tract home off Ballarat Avenue and a riverfront cabin near the Middle Fork, and we know what each one hides in its ductwork. The valley’s cottonwood pollen, cedar releases, and fine glacial silt from the Snoqualmie River corridors don’t behave like ordinary household dust. They stick to coils, pack into low-velocity runs, and wear out equipment faster than you’d expect. Our technicians arrive with Rotobrush rotary systems and Nikro negative-air machines because this market demands commercial-grade extraction, not a shop-vac with a brush attachment.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is North Bend’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
North Bend homeowners don’t hire us because we’re the cheapest. They hire us because the price we write down before we start is the price they pay, and because our 365-Day Done Right Promise means we come back at no charge if anything fails within a year.
Our reputation here is built on showing up inside the quoted window, in uniform, with background-checked technicians who explain what they’re finding before they start the work. We’ve cleaned ducts in the older farmhouses near North Bend Way, the subdivisions off Mount Si Boulevard, and the newer builds creeping toward the Rattlesnake Mountain foothills. Each neighborhood presents different duct configurations, different infiltration paths, and different pollen loads. That local pattern recognition matters.
Scheduling and dispatch are coordinated from our Seattle office, but the crew that arrives at your door knows North Bend’s housing stock and its specific problems. Phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No callback queues, no voicemail loops, no waiting until Monday morning to book a Wednesday slot.
Vent Cleaning in North Bend
Vent Cleaning in North Bend means more than brushing off register covers. The supply vents in your living room and the return grilles in your hallway are the visible endpoints of a system that’s been pulling in Snoqualmie Valley pollen and river-silt dust for years. We remove each register, clean the boot and first few feet of duct behind it, and inspect for mold staining or blockage. Most vent cleaning jobs in North Bend run $180 – $340 as a standalone service, or they’re included in a full system cleaning.
Supply Vent Deep Cleaning
Supply vents push conditioned air into your rooms, but they also push out whatever’s coating the duct walls. In North Bend’s damp climate, that often includes a sticky film of pollen and organic matter that ordinary dusting won’t touch. Our rotary brushes break it loose and our negative-air machines pull it out of the house entirely, not just deeper into the system.
Return Vent Restoration
Return vents are the system’s lungs, and in valley-floor homes they’re often the entry point for that fine, abrasive silt we find after high water on the Snoqualmie. We clean the grille, the framing, and the duct transition behind it. If the return path is pulling from a crawl space or attic with compromised sealing, we’ll flag it and discuss Duct Sealing in North Bend before the problem gets worse.
Air Duct Repair in North Bend
Air Duct Repair in North Bend addresses the gaps, separations, and corrosion that let unfiltered valley air bypass your filter entirely. We see this constantly in the older riverfront cabins and farmhouses with retrofitted forced-air systems, where original metal ductwork has separated at the seams or where flex duct in attics has sagged and torn. Typical repairs in North Bend range from $200 for a simple reseal to $800 or more for replacing damaged sections in hard-to-reach crawl spaces. Every repair gets a written price before we touch it.
Leak Detection and Sealing
Smoke pencil testing and video inspection let us find the exact points where your system is pulling in crawl-space dust or attic pollen. We seal with mastic and mechanical fasteners, not tape that will dry and fail in North Bend’s humidity cycles. The goal is simple: every cubic foot of air moving through your system should pass through your filter first.
Damaged Duct Replacement
When flex duct has collapsed, corroded, or been chewed by rodents, we replace with properly sized new material and secure it so it won’t sag again. In the hillside homes near Mount Si, where attics get hot in summer and cold in winter, proper support and insulation matter as much as the duct itself.
Trusted Brands We Service in North Bend
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems for mechanical agitation, Nikro negative-air machines for containment and extraction, and filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman. We don’t show up with hardware-store gear. For North Bend customers, this means we can handle the heavy pollen loads and fine silt that cheaper equipment simply recirculates. We stock common fittings and repair parts locally, so if your ductwork needs a section replaced or a register boot rebuilt, we’re not ordering parts and making you wait. The same tools and standards apply whether we’re cleaning a 3,000-square-foot new build or a 1940s farmhouse with a cobbled-together retrofit.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in North Bend Homes
- Pollen film on evaporator coils. The Snoqualmie Valley’s cottonwood and cedar releases are enormous, and they stick to damp coils in a way that ordinary dust doesn’t. We remove this film mechanically and verify airflow improvement before we leave.
- River silt in return ducts. After any moderate flood event on the Middle Fork or South Fork, we find a thin layer of abrasive silt in valley-floor returns. It looks like dust, but it’s hard on blower motors and it doesn’t vacuum out easily.
- Mold in low-velocity runs during shoulder seasons. North Bend’s damp marine climate and heat-pump-heavy housing stock mean ducts stay cool and humid when systems aren’t running hard. We inspect for microbial growth and can recommend solutions if we find it.
- Undersized ductwork in older homes. Many of the 1970s and 1980s cabins and farmhouses near North Bend Way were retrofitted with forced air without resizing the ducts. The result is high static pressure, noisy operation, and premature equipment failure. We identify this during inspection and explain your options.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in North Bend, WA
Whole-home residential duct cleaning in North Bend typically runs $450 – $850 for a standard single-family system with 12 – 20 registers. Commercial systems start around $800 and scale with square footage and access difficulty. Dryer vent cleaning, which we often pair with duct cleaning, adds $150 – $250. We also handle Dryer Vent Cleaning in North Bend as a standalone service.
What moves the price: number of registers and returns, accessibility of the main trunk lines, whether we need to cut access panels, and the condition we find inside. A system with heavy pollen caking or post-flood silt deposition takes longer to clean properly. We inspect first, write the price down, and get your approval before any work begins. No per-vent add-ons, no equipment charges that appear at the door. If you want to know exactly what your system will cost, call (361) 326-5060. Estimates are free, and they’re firm.

Yes. We clean ducts in the subdivisions off Mount Si Boulevard, the valley-floor homes near North Bend Way, and the newer builds toward Rattlesnake Mountain. Older riverfront properties often have the most interesting duct challenges, and we’re equipped for them.
We don’t advertise emergency service because duct cleaning is a scheduled maintenance job, not an urgent repair. However, our phones are answered by a live person 24/7, and if you’re dealing with a post-flood situation or visible mold concern, we’ll prioritize your appointment and get a technician out as fast as possible.
Our pricing is consistent across the valley, but North Bend homes sometimes require more time due to the heavier pollen loads and river-silt infiltration we find here. The written price reflects what your specific system needs, not your ZIP code.
Every job is backed by our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work fails within a year, we return and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. This is written on every invoice, not implied. Call (361) 326-5060 with any warranty question.
