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.

AfterAir Duct Cleaning Company in Laguna Beach, CA
Air duct cleaning in Laguna Beach runs $350 – $650 for a typical single-system home, with most jobs completed in one visit. The marine layer, salt air, and steep canyon terrain here create conditions we don’t see inland: accelerated corrosion in galvanized ducts, microbial growth from humidity swings, and ash infiltration after Santa Ana wind events. Hollis Air Duct Cleaning dispatches crews from our Los Angeles office to serve Laguna Beach directly, and we’re reachable at (361) 326-5060 for scheduling or questions about your specific setup.
Why Laguna Beach Homes Are Different
Most Laguna Beach houses were built between the 1960s and 1980s with original galvanized steel or early flex duct systems. Many sit on steep slopes with HVAC equipment retrofitted into tight attics or crawlspaces, making access harder than in flatland construction. Renovations and additions, common in neighborhoods like Emerald Bay and Three Arch Bay, often left disconnected or crushed duct runs buried behind stucco walls.
The coastal fog belt keeps relative humidity elevated much of the year. Inland canyon areas see temperature swings of 30°F or more between day and night, which forces condensation inside ductwork. Salt-laden air accelerates rust on metal components, particularly in homes within a few blocks of the water. After Santa Ana wind events, we regularly find fine ash and soot pulled into return ducts from canyon fires, even when the house itself was never threatened. This seasonal pattern is specific to Laguna Beach’s wildland-urban interface.
Our Main Laguna Beach Services
These are the three services Laguna Beach homeowners call us about most often.
Air Duct Cleaning in Laguna Beach
We clean supply and return ductwork using a Rotobrush rotary brush system combined with Nikro negative-air machines that pull dislodged debris out of the house entirely. In Laguna Beach, we pay particular attention to microbial buildup in humid coastal zones and ash residue after wind events. Every job starts with a written price that doesn’t change once we’re inside. Air Duct Cleaning in Laguna Beach
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Laguna Beach
Lint accumulation in dryer vents is a fire hazard, and Laguna Beach’s older homes often have vent runs that are longer or more convoluted than current code allows. We clear the full run from dryer to exterior termination, check airflow with a meter, and note any corrosion from salt air that might require duct replacement. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Laguna Beach
Duct Sealing in Laguna Beach
Older galvanized systems in Laguna Beach develop leaks at seams and joints over decades of thermal expansion and salt corrosion. We apply duct sealing mastic and mechanical fasteners to restore conditioned air delivery, which matters in homes where the HVAC is already working hard against heat gain through uninsulated attic ducts.
