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.

Sammamish isn’t like the cities west of Lake Sammamish. The plateau’s master-planned neighborhoods were built out fast between 1985 and 2005, and most of those homes still run their original builder-grade flex duct through unconditioned attics. We’ve been in enough of them to know the pattern: construction debris the builder never cleared, fir needles and pine cones from squirrel nesting, and damp attic conditions that turn dust into compacted, musty buildup. That’s not a generic duct problem. It’s a Sammamish problem, and it takes equipment and technique matched to what we’re actually finding up there.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Sammamish’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been part of the Garrison Partners family since 2004, and our Sammamish customers know the difference that track record makes. Roy Castellanos built this operation on The Garrison Standard: written prices before any work starts, technicians who arrive inside the quoted window, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise that puts our guarantee in writing – not a verbal “satisfaction” claim that evaporates when you need it.
Our crews know the Sammamish Plateau’s housing stock cold. We’ve cleaned ducts in the late-1970s Sahalee pockets with rigid sheet-metal trunk lines, the 1990s Klahanie builds with original flex that’s never been touched, and the newer Trossachs two-stories where builders left drywall talc in the supply runs. That local knowledge means we don’t waste your time guessing what’s in your attic. We know.
Phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No callback queues. No “we’ll get back to you Monday.” When you call (361) 326-5060, you talk to a human who can schedule your Sammamish appointment and give you a straight answer about timing.
Every technician is background-checked and uniformed. You know who’s walking into your home before they arrive. The price is written down before any work starts, and it does not move at the door. That’s The Garrison Code, and it’s how we operate in every Sammamish home we enter.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Sammamish
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Sammamish means source-removing built-up debris from the supply and return ductwork of single-family homes, then sealing and re-insulating any damaged runs. Most Sammamish homes we service are 2,500 – 4,500 square foot two-stories built between 1985 and 2005, with forced-air gas furnaces pushing air through original flex duct in unconditioned attics. A typical whole-home residential cleaning in Sammamish runs $450 – $850 depending on system size, accessibility, and whether we find rodent damage that needs repair.
Supply and Return Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts push heated or cooled air into your rooms; return ducts pull it back to the furnace. In Sammamish homes, we often find the returns are worse than the supplies – that’s where fir needles, insulation shreds, and construction debris collect. We agitate and extract from both sides of the system, not just the easy reaches near the registers.
Video Inspection Before and After
We run a camera through your trunk lines before we start and after we finish. You see what we see. In Sammamish, that footage usually shows compacted drywall dust from the original build, sometimes rodent nesting damage, and occasionally mold at joints where plateau moisture has gotten in. The after footage proves the debris is gone.
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Sammamish
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Sammamish covers office buildings, retail spaces, medical clinics, and multi-tenant properties in the plateau’s business districts and along the main commercial corridors. These systems are larger, with rigid trunk lines and multiple zones, but they face the same Sammamish-specific challenges: pollen loads from the surrounding forest, moisture from the wet marine climate, and – in properties built during the 1990s boom – original ductwork that has never been professionally cleaned. A typical commercial system in Sammamish runs $1,200 – $3,500 depending on square footage, number of air handlers, and contamination level.
Multi-Zone System Cleaning
Commercial buildings often have several zones with dampers and separate returns. We clean each zone thoroughly, verify airflow balance after service, and document everything for property managers who need records for tenants or insurers.
HEPA-Contained Negative-Air Method
We use Nikro negative-air machines on commercial jobs, creating suction at one end of the duct while rotary brushes agitate debris at the other. Everything we pull out is HEPA-filtered before it leaves the machine. No dust pushed into occupied spaces. No shortcuts.
Trusted Brands We Service in Sammamish
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems for residential agitation, Nikro negative-air machines for commercial and heavy-residential jobs, and filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies. We don’t show up with hardware-store shop vacs and a brush on a stick. The same tools we use in Sammamish homes are the ones commercial crews run in hospitals and schools. If your system has a Honeywell electronic air cleaner or an Aprilaire media filter, we service those too – and we stock replacement media so you’re not waiting on a parts order while your system runs unfiltered.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Sammamish Homes
- Builder handover debris in original flex duct. Sammamish’s 1985 – 2005 master-planned homes were built fast, and many builders never source-removed construction dust and drywall talc before the family moved in. Twenty years later, that debris is still circulating through supply registers.
- Rodent nesting in attic runs. The Douglas firs and cedars that overhang Sammamish roofs are a highway for squirrels and field mice. Every fall, we pull fir needles, pine cones, and shredded flex-duct insulation from return trunks in Klahanie and Sahalee homes – damage you’d almost never see in less-wooded suburbs west of the lake.
- Moisture-compacted debris at rigid joints. The older Sahalee pockets from the late 1970s and early 1980s used rigid sheet-metal trunk lines with mastic-sealed joints. Some of the highest rainfall in the Seattle metro keeps those attics damp, and debris cakes hard at the joints where flex connects to metal.
- Wildfire smoke residue in ductwork. Summer smoke from Cascades fires increasingly pushes Sammamish homeowners to seal windows and run HVAC continuously. Clean ducts move more air with less resistance, meaning your filter loads slower and your system doesn’t work as hard to maintain airflow during smoke events.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Sammamish
Yes, and probably more than you think. Sammamish homes from that era were built fast during the master-planned boom, and original flex duct in unconditioned attics collects construction debris the builder never cleared, plus two decades of fir pollen and dust. We regularly find 2003-built homes in Trossachs and Beaver Lake with compacted drywall talc and reduced airflow at the furnace. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate – we’ll camera-inspect and show you exactly what’s in there.
Because Douglas squirrels and field mice use the overhanging firs and cedars as a bridge to your roof, then find gaps at attic vent screens or roof jacks and nest in the warm flex duct. Every fall, we pull nests from return trunks in Klahanie and Sahalee homes – it’s a Sammamish-specific problem you won’t see in less-wooded areas. We remove the debris, seal the entry points, and replace damaged insulation so it doesn’t happen again.
We agitate debris with a rotary brush system, extract it under negative air pressure with HEPA filtration, and run a camera before and after so you see the difference. The Garrison Standard requires written documentation of what was done, what we found, and what your system looks like now. If a company won’t show you inside your ducts, they’re not done.
It helps your system work more efficiently during smoke events, which matters because Sammamish homeowners increasingly seal windows and run HVAC continuously when Cascades fires blow smoke our way. Clean ducts move more air with less resistance, so your filter loads slower and your blower motor doesn’t strain. It’s not a substitute for a good MERV-13+ filter, but it reduces the baseline load your system fights.
Most whole-home residential jobs in Sammamish run $450 – $850, with large homes or systems needing rodent damage repair toward the higher end. Commercial systems start around $1,200. We don’t do per-vent pricing or teaser coupons – the price is written before work starts and doesn’t move. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate based on your home’s size and neighborhood.
