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 Sebastopol
Air duct cleaning in Sebastopol typically runs $450 – $850 for a whole-home system, with most residential jobs completed in a single visit. We’re the local crew that shows up when we said we would, prices the job in writing before touching your ducts, and stands behind the work for a full year.
Our dispatch team coordinates from the San Francisco Bay Area office, and our technicians serve Sebastopol neighborhoods directly. We’ve cleaned ducts in the Victorian-era homes near the downtown plaza, the ranch-style houses tucked into the hills toward Occidental, and the newer builds out along Bodega Highway. That mix of housing ages and styles means we’ve seen nearly every duct configuration Sonoma County can throw at a technician: rigid metal trunks from the 1950s, flex duct retrofitted in the 1980s, and modern insulated runs in custom homes. The fog rolls in thick here, especially in the lower-lying areas near Laguna de Santa Rosa, and that dampness doesn’t stay outside. It finds its way into crawlspaces and attics, and from there into ductwork that hasn’t been opened in twenty years.

Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Sebastopol’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been part of the Garrison Partners family since 2004, and our standard hasn’t changed: arrive inside the quoted window, put the price in writing before any work starts, complete the job by the book, and leave the site clean. Sebastopol homeowners know that routine because enough of them have experienced the alternative, a crew that quotes low over the phone and finds “problems” once they’re inside.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. You know who’s walking into your home before they arrive. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers 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 if needed. No negotiation, no runaround.
Phones are answered by a live person, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No voicemail loops, no callback queues, no waiting until Monday morning to schedule something you noticed on Saturday.
We understand the local conditions that affect your ducts: the mineral dust from well water that settles in registers, the chronic dampness of fog-season crawlspaces, the ash infiltration after wildfire events. That knowledge changes how we approach a job, not just what we clean, but what we look for while we’re inside your system.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Sebastopol
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Sebastopol means pulling debris from the full network of supply and return ducts, registers, and the air handler itself, then inspecting the system with a video camera so you see what we saw. Most Sebastopol homes fall into one of two categories: older houses with ductwork installed piecemeal over decades, or newer rural builds with long runs of flex duct stretched across acreage. Both setups collect dust, but the problems differ. In the historic core near Main Street and Petaluma Avenue, we regularly find original metal ducts with decades of accumulated debris and occasional rust from condensation. On the hillside properties toward Bennett Valley, flex duct often sags or separates at joints, pulling attic insulation and rodent droppings into the airflow.
A typical whole-home residential cleaning in Sebastopol runs $450 – $750 for a single-system home, with larger homes or multiple zones ranging up to $850. That price covers the full system: supply ducts, return ducts, registers, and the air handler cabinet. We put it in writing before we start.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts push conditioned air into your rooms, and in Sebastopol they’re often the first place you’ll notice mineral dust from well water collecting around the registers. Our rotary brush system, powered by Rotobrush equipment, loosens that buildup while a Nikro negative-air machine pulls it out of the system entirely, rather than pushing it deeper into your home.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts draw air back to the handler, and they typically hold the heaviest debris load: pet hair, pollen, fine ash particles during wildfire season, and the general grit of rural living. We clean these with the same rotary and negative-air combination, then run a video inspection to confirm the passageways are clear.
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Sebastopol
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Sebastopol covers the restaurants, tasting rooms, medical offices, and retail spaces that keep this town’s economy moving. Commercial systems run harder and longer than residential units, often cycling continuously during business hours, and they’re subject to California’s Title 24 ventilation standards and local fire marshal inspections. We clean these systems with the same equipment we use on large commercial jobs in Santa Rosa, scaled to the footprint of your building.
Commercial pricing in Sebastopol starts around $800 for small retail or office spaces and ranges upward based on system complexity, access difficulty, and whether the job must be completed during off-hours to avoid disrupting business. We schedule these jobs precisely and stick to the window.
Kitchen Exhaust and Grease Duct Integration
Restaurants and food-service businesses on Main Street or Gravenstein Highway need their HVAC ductwork coordinated with hood and grease exhaust cleaning. We don’t handle the hood itself, but we clean the supply and return ducts that serve the same dining areas, ensuring your ventilation system isn’t circulating cooking particulates back into customer spaces.
Post-Construction and Renovation Cleaning
Sebastopol’s building boom, especially the custom homes going up on rural parcels, generates enormous amounts of construction dust that settles in ducts before the homeowner ever moves in. We clean these systems after the builders are out and before occupancy, with documentation that satisfies most lenders and inspectors.
Trusted Brands We Service in Sebastopol
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems for mechanical agitation, Nikro negative-air machines for containment and extraction, and filtration products from Honeywell and Aprilaire for homes that need upgraded air handling after cleaning. We don’t show up with hardware-store vacuums and a brush on a stick. The tools we use are the same ones commercial crews deploy in hospitals and schools, and we explain what each piece does while we’re working so you understand why the job takes the time it takes. For Sebastopol customers, this means we can source replacement filters, upgraded media, and compatible components without the delay of special-ordering from out of the area. If your system needs a Honeywell electronic air cleaner or an Aprilaire media upgrade after we finish the cleaning, we can typically install it on the same visit.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Sebastopol Homes
- Mineral dust from well water. In neighborhoods where homes draw from private wells, especially in the hills west of downtown, we find a fine white or gray film coating the inside of supply registers. It’s not ordinary household dust; it’s mineral residue from humidified air, and it recirculates until it’s physically removed from the ductwork.
- Mold and mildew in damp crawlspaces. The coastal fog belt keeps many Sebastopol crawlspaces and attics chronically damp through fall and winter. Flex duct laid in these spaces absorbs moisture, and the organic debris inside provides a food source for mold. We find this most often in mid-century ranch homes with original ductwork in unconditioned spaces.
- Wildfire ash infiltration. After Sonoma County fire events, we see a spike in calls from areas near Laguna de Santa Rosa, where fine ash penetrated seemingly sealed systems and left a gritty residue. Homeowners often mistake it for normal dust until they notice the acrid smell when the heat first kicks on in November.
- Disconnected or sagging flex duct. On rural properties with long duct runs across acreage, flex duct has often separated at joints or sagged into contact with insulation. This pulls attic or crawlspace debris directly into the airflow, and it’s invisible from the registers until we run a camera.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Sebastopol, CA
Here’s what whole-system air duct cleaning costs in the Sebastopol market, based on the jobs we’ve priced and completed:
| Service | Typical Range |
|---|---|

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Sebastopol
A typical whole-home residential air duct cleaning in Sebastopol runs $450 – $750 for a single-zone system, with larger or multi-zone homes ranging up to $850. Commercial spaces start around $800. We put the exact price in writing before any work begins, and it does not change at the door. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate on your specific system.
The low quotes are almost always per-vent teaser rates that don’t include the returns, the air handler, or the actual labor to do the job properly. By the time the crew is inside your home, the price has climbed to or above our flat rate, and you’re already committed. We price the full system upfront, with no per-vent math and no surprises.
We run a video inspection through your ductwork before and after cleaning, and we show you the footage. You see what was in there, and you see what’s left after we’re done. That video documentation is part of every job, not an upsell.
Most Sebastopol homes benefit from cleaning every three to five years, but local conditions can shorten that interval. Homes on well water with mineral dust issues, properties in fire-affected areas with ash infiltration, or houses with chronic dampness and mold risk may need attention every two to three years. We’ll tell you honestly what we see in your system and whether you can wait.
Every air duct cleaning we perform in Sebastopol is covered in writing for 365 days from the date of service. If the work fails, if debris returns because we missed a section, or if a connection we disturbed begins leaking air, we come back and make it right at no charge. That includes a free second visit if needed. The promise is backed by the Garrison Partners family, not a handshake and a smile.
