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 Manhattan Beach, CA
Air duct cleaning in Manhattan Beach typically runs $450 – $850 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in a single morning or afternoon. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and we’ve learned that homes here need a different approach than inland LA because salt-laden marine air and year-round open-window living push dust, pollen, and corrosive sea mist into ductwork faster than anywhere else in the metro. Our crews work from the brand’s Los Angeles office and serve Manhattan Beach locally, carrying Rotobrush rotary systems and Nikro negative-air equipment built for coastal conditions. Call us at (361) 326-5060 for a free written estimate.
Why Manhattan Beach Homes Are Different
Manhattan Beach sits directly on the Pacific, and that proximity changes everything about what we find inside local ducts. The marine layer and onshore breezes draw in fine beach sand and pollen year-round, while high humidity and salt in the air accelerate corrosion of metal duct components and create conditions where mold and mildew can take hold inside the system.
The housing stock here is split between older beach bungalows and 1950s-60s ranch-style homes with original galvanized steel ductwork, and newer multi-million-dollar custom builds with modern flex duct. Many sit on raised foundations with accessible crawl spaces, which simplifies thorough cleaning but also exposes ducts to ground moisture and salt air from below. In the Sand Section and Tree Section, we routinely find sand and salt deposits inside return ducts that simply don’t exist a few miles inland. During spring marine layer season, ducts can become breeding grounds for mildew if not cleaned on schedule.
The city’s strict coastal building codes also make proper duct cleaning a permit-sensitive issue for remodels and additions. We document our work with before-and-after photos so homeowners have proof the job was done right, especially when permits or HOA requirements are involved.
Our Main Manhattan Beach Services
Manhattan Beach homeowners call us for three core services, each handled with The Garrison Standard: written prices, written guarantees, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise on every job.
Air Duct Cleaning in Manhattan Beach
We clean the full supply and return system using a Rotobrush rotary brush system for mechanical agitation combined with Nikro negative-air extraction to pull loosened debris out of the home entirely. In Manhattan Beach, we pay special attention to corrosion-prone galvanized steel in older homes and salt deposits that can restrict airflow in coastal properties. Every job includes before-and-after photos of your own ducts. Air Duct Cleaning in Manhattan Beach
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Manhattan Beach
Lint buildup in dryer vents is a leading cause of house fires nationwide, and Manhattan Beach’s salt air can corrode vent hoods and create gaps where lint collects in wall cavities. We clean the full run from dryer to exterior termination, inspect for corrosion damage, and verify airflow with a meter. If the vent fails within a year, we return at no charge under our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Manhattan Beach
Duct Sealing in Manhattan Beach
Leaky ducts waste conditioned air and pull in attic dust, crawl space moisture, and salt-laden outside air. We seal accessible joints and seams with mastic and reinforced tape, then pressure-test the system to verify results. In Manhattan Beach’s older ranches, we often find disconnected flex duct in crawl spaces where coastal humidity has degraded connections. The price is written before we start, and it doesn’t move at the door. Duct Sealing in Manhattan Beach
