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.

AfterFast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Tiburon
Air duct cleaning in Tiburon typically runs $450 – $850 for a full residential system and is scheduled by appointment with our San Francisco Bay Area office coordinating local crews. We’re familiar with the tight hillside lots off Paradise Drive, the mid-century ranches tucked into Bel Aire, and the custom builds climbing along Mar East, so we bring compact equipment and long-reach hoses for access that standard suburban vans can’t manage. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free written estimate.
Tiburon’s microclimate is hard on ductwork. The salt-laden bay air, heavy winter rains, and summer dryness create a cycle of moisture and corrosion inside galvanized or early flex duct runs that are already decades past their service life in many homes here. Spring pollen from oak and eucalyptus settles in return ducts. Fall fog pushes through poorly sealed attic penetrations. We’ve cleaned systems in Old Tiburon where the duct chase was shoehorned under a stairwell, and in the Paradise Cay area where crawlspace access required us to park on a narrow lane and run hoses across a graded slope. That local knowledge matters because it affects how we price the job, what equipment we load, and how long the work takes.

Air Duct Inspection in Tiburon
Air Duct Inspection in Tiburon is the first step before any cleaning or sealing work, and it’s especially important here because so many homes have original duct runs hidden in tight crawlspaces or low-clearance attics that haven’t been examined in years. Our Air Duct Cleaning team uses a video borescope to record the interior condition of your supply and return lines, then reviews the footage with you on-site. A typical inspection in Tiburon runs $150 – $250, though we often waive this fee if you proceed with cleaning the same day.
What We Document
We record debris type, duct wall corrosion, joint separation, and signs of moisture intrusion. In Tiburon’s coastal environment, we’re specifically looking for that white salt film on metal duct interiors and pollen accumulation at return grilles that faces inland won’t show.
When to Schedule
Schedule an inspection if you’ve noticed uneven heating, musty airflow, or if your home was built before 1980 with original ductwork. Many Tiburon ranch homes from the 1950s – 70s still run galvanized steel or early flex duct that should be evaluated before any cleaning investment.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Tiburon
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Tiburon addresses the full supply and return system, from the main trunk lines to each register, using equipment sized for the access constraints common in hillside homes. Our crew arrives with Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines, the same tools commercial crews use, configured for compact truck setups when your driveway or lane won’t accommodate a standard van. A typical full system cleaning in Tiburon runs $450 – $850 depending on system size, access difficulty, and whether sanitizing fog is needed for coastal residue.
Homes with Challenging Access
Steep lots and low-pitched roofs mean we regularly clean units tucked under stairwells or in crawlspaces with 18-inch clearance. We bring long-reach hoses and portable negative-air units that don’t require the truck to park directly at the access point.
Post-Cleaning Verification
We provide before-and-after photos of your own ducts, not stock images. You’ll see the coastal grime and pollen load that was removed, and we’ll review any structural concerns the cleaning revealed, such as corroded joints or separated flex runs.
Trusted Brands We Service in Tiburon
We clean and service systems using Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies filtration and ventilation components, and we stock common parts for faster turnaround on Tiburon jobs. Many homes in the Bel Aire and Del Mar areas run Honeywell electronic air cleaners or Aprilaire whole-house media filters that need proper reinstallation after duct cleaning; our technicians are trained on these units and carry replacement media when possible. If your system uses Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration or Guardsman duct accessories, we work with those too. The equipment matters because using the wrong brush head on an older Aprilaire bypass humidifier or mishandling a Honeywell zone damper can turn a straightforward cleaning into an expensive callback. We match the tool to the component, every time.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Tiburon Homes
- Corrosive coastal grime buildup. Salt-laden bay air pulls through attic penetrations and settles as a fine white film on duct interiors. Standard brushing alone won’t remove it; we follow with sanitizing fog to neutralize the residue before it eats through galvanized steel.
- Pollen-choked return ducts. Spring and fall loads from oak, eucalyptus, and ornamental plantings clog return grilles and filter racks. We find return ducts in hillside homes near Ring Mountain packed with debris that restricts airflow by 30 percent or more.
- Original flex duct past service life. Mid-century ranch homes in the Reed School area and Paradise Cay often run 1960s-era flex duct that’s brittle, torn, or delaminated. Cleaning reveals damage that was hidden; we document it and can coordinate Duct Sealing in Tiburon or replacement if needed.
- Mold in moisture-trapped sections. Winter fog and rain penetrate poorly sealed crawlspaces, then summer dryness cracks duct mastic. The cycle creates pockets where mold establishes in supply trunks. We flag these during inspection and handle remediation before it spreads.

Full residential air duct cleaning in Tiburon typically runs $450 – $850 for a complete supply and return system. Smaller condos or apartments with straightforward access start around $350.

Commercial systems are priced by square footage and HVAC configuration; call for a specific quote.
What moves the price: number of supply and return vents, linear footage of ductwork, access difficulty (steep grades, tight crawlspaces, low attics), and whether we need to apply sanitizing treatment after mechanical cleaning.
