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 Pleasanton, CA
Homeowners in Pleasanton typically pay $450 – $850 for whole-house air duct cleaning, with most jobs scheduled within a week and completed in a single visit. What drives the actual price is the home’s duct layout, age, and how the Tri-Valley’s extreme temperature swings have stressed the system. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Garrison Partners family, and our crews work Pleasanton from the brand’s San Francisco Bay Area dispatch office. Call us at (361) 326-5060 for a written estimate before any work starts.
Why Pleasanton Homes Are Different
Pleasanton’s inland location in the Tri-Valley creates working conditions we don’t see in coastal Bay Area cities. Summer mornings start at 40°F and afternoons hit 95°F or higher, cycling HVAC systems between heat and AC daily for months straight. That constant switching pushes more dust, pollen, and attic insulation debris through ductwork than in stable-temp markets like Fremont or Oakland.
The spring and fall pollen load here is notorious, olive, sycamore, and oak trees release heavy counts that get pulled into return ducts. Add recurring wildfire smoke from surrounding East Bay hills, and Pleasanton ducts collect a mix of fine allergen and ash residue that coastal techs rarely encounter. Many homes also have attic-installed air handlers, and those attics bake to extreme temperatures in July and August, accelerating flex duct liner breakdown.
Housing stock splits the work too. Older homes near downtown and along Veterans Boulevard, built from the 1950s through 1970s, often still run original galvanized or early flex duct. Newer subdivisions in Hacienda and Ruby Hill have longer flex runs that sag and kink at low points, creating dust collection spots. We also see a distinct pattern in Pleasanton Heights and the original downtown core: 1960s furnace closets with short, undersized returns that pull attic dust straight into the system, leaving a gray film on return grilles our techs recognize immediately.
Our Main Pleasanton Services
Most Pleasanton homeowners call us for one of three jobs. Each has its own page with full details, pricing, and what to expect.
Air Duct Cleaning in Pleasanton
We clean supply and return ductwork with Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines, pulling loosened debris out rather than pushing it deeper into the house. In Pleasanton, we pay special attention to pollen and wildfire ash residue that embeds in flex duct liner, and we inspect attic runs for heat damage common in this market. Every job gets a written price before we start and is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Air Duct Cleaning in Pleasanton
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pleasanton
Dryer vent cleaning removes lint buildup that restricts airflow and creates fire risk. Pleasanton’s older homes often have longer vent runs through walls or roof terminations that are harder to access and clean thoroughly than modern through-wall setups. We use professional-grade brushes and high-velocity air tools, and we verify airflow improvement before leaving. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pleasanton
Duct Sealing in Pleasanton
Duct sealing closes leaks in supply and return ductwork with mastic and specialized tape, stopping conditioned air from escaping into attics or crawl spaces. In Pleasanton, this matters especially for homes with attic air handlers, where leaks waste cooling effort in 100°F attic heat. We pressure-test the system to find leaks, seal them, and verify results. Duct Sealing in Pleasanton
