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 Poulsbo, WA
Air duct cleaning in Poulsbo typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. What drives the real difference here isn’t the equipment alone, it’s Poulsbo’s marine climate pressing moisture into ductwork year-round, especially in the older homes around historic downtown and the waterfront. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Garrison Partners family, and our crews serve Poulsbo from the Seattle office with background-checked, uniformed technicians and written prices before any work starts. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Poulsbo Homes Are Different
Poulsbo sits on Liberty Bay with Puget Sound air rolling in daily. That marine layer keeps humidity high even when temperatures stay mild, and the heavy tree canopy that makes the city beautiful also drops organic debris onto roofs and into exterior vents. In the historic downtown and waterfront areas, we’ve found ductwork running through crawlspaces that never fully dry out. The marine air seeps in, ventilation is often poor in those older foundations, and the result is sustained damp conditions where mold and mildew colonize supply lines.
The housing stock splits two ways. Original homes in the downtown core carry retrofitted ductwork, sometimes galvanized steel from the 1960s or flexible duct added later in tight crawlspaces. Newer construction on the outskirts uses modern flex duct and better-sealed plenums, but even those systems pull in the same humid air. We adjust our approach to the material: rotary brush systems for rigid metal, controlled negative-air for flex duct that can’t take aggressive mechanical contact. Every job starts with a written price that doesn’t move once we’re inside.
Our Main Poulsbo Services
Poulsbo homeowners call us most often for three jobs shaped by local conditions: whole-system duct cleaning, dryer vent cleaning, and duct sealing. Each has its own page with full detail.
Air Duct Cleaning in Poulsbo
We clean the full supply and return network with Rotobrush rotary systems and Nikro negative-air machines, pulling debris from every register back to the main trunk. In Poulsbo, we pay special attention to basement and crawlspace runs where marine moisture has left biological growth. Before we leave, we show you before-and-after photos from your own system. Air Duct Cleaning in Poulsbo covers the full process and what to expect.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Poulsbo
Dryer vents in Poulsbo clog faster than inland markets because the humid air keeps lint dense and sticky, and the Douglas fir needles that blanket roofs here find their way into exterior terminations. We run auger and air-whip tools the full length of the vent, then verify airflow with a meter. The job takes 45 – 90 minutes depending on run length and roof access. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Poulsbo has the full breakdown.
Duct Sealing in Poulsbo
Leaky ducts in Poulsbo don’t just waste heated air, they pull crawlspace moisture and mold spores directly into living spaces. We seal accessible joints with mastic and mechanical fasteners, then pressure-test the system to confirm the seal holds. In older downtown homes with retrofit flex duct, we often find disconnected runs in those damp crawlspaces. Duct Sealing in Poulsbo explains how we handle it.
