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 Rancho Palos Verdes, CA
Air duct cleaning in Rancho Palos Verdes runs $350 – $650 for a typical single-family home, with most jobs scheduled within a week and completed in one day. Rancho Palos Verdes is a slow-moving landslide city, and years of ground movement have literally racked and twisted the ductwork in homes from Portuguese Bend to the east-side canyons. That means every Hollis crew treats a cleaning job as a leak-and-contamination assessment, not just a vacuum run. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Rancho Palos Verdes Homes Are Different
The housing stock here is overwhelmingly single-family, mostly 1950s – 1970s ranch-style and split-level homes between 1,800 and 3,500 square feet, many still running original sheet-metal trunk-and-branch ductwork. A wave of 1980s – 90s custom homes added more complex systems, but hillside lots mean long, multi-directional runs that are prone to joint separation and awkward access.
A cool, damp marine layer rolls in off the Pacific most mornings, and the near-constant ocean humidity encourages mold and dust-mite growth in duct interiors. Then dry Santa Ana wind events push wildfire ash and smoke from the Peninsula’s scrub-covered hills deep into the system. Technicians working the Portuguese Bend and Abalone Cove slide zones regularly find flex duct pinched flat or metal ducts pulled apart at the seams because the slowly creeping ground keeps shifting the house on its foundation. That failure mode simply doesn’t exist inland in the South Bay.
Combined with coastal marine-layer moisture and wildfire ash from the Palos Verdes Peninsula’s brush zones, every job becomes a leak-and-contamination assessment unique to this landslide-prone coastline.
Our Main Rancho Palos Verdes Services
Most Rancho Palos Verdes homeowners call us for one of these three jobs. Each has its own page with full pricing, process details, and local conditions.
Air Duct Cleaning in Rancho Palos Verdes
We clean the full supply and return system with a Rotobrush rotary brush and Nikro negative-air machine, pulling debris out rather than pushing it deeper. In Rancho Palos Verdes, we start by checking for landslide-shifted duct damage, loose boots, and separated seams before we run any brush. The marine layer here means we often find light mold spotting on trunk interiors that inland crews rarely see. Air Duct Cleaning in Rancho Palos Verdes
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Rancho Palos Verdes
Lint buildup in dryer vents is a fire hazard anywhere, but Rancho Palos Verdes adds a wrinkle: hillside homes often have long vertical or horizontal runs to exterior walls, and ground movement can compress or kink the flexible transition duct behind the dryer. We inspect the full run with a camera, clean to the termination, and flag any crushed sections that need replacing. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Rancho Palos Verdes
Duct Sealing in Rancho Palos Verdes
Ground-shifted seams and separated boots leak conditioned air into attics and crawl spaces year-round. We seal accessible joints with mastic and mechanical fasteners, then pressure-test to verify the fix. For Rancho Palos Verdes homes with chronic leakage from foundation movement, we document what’s sealed, what’s inaccessible, and what may need a structural referral.
