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 Santa Rosa, CA
Air duct cleaning in Santa Rosa runs $350 – $650 for a typical single-family home, with most jobs scheduled within a week during fire season. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and we’ve built our Santa Rosa operation around a reality few other California markets face: wildfire smoke, not ordinary dust, is what fills these ducts. Our crews work from the San Francisco Bay Area office and serve Santa Rosa locally, equipped with Rotobrush rotary systems and Nikro negative-air machines to remove ash particulate that standard cleaning misses. Call (361) 326-5060 for a written estimate before any work starts.
Why Santa Rosa Homes Are Different
Santa Rosa sits at the center of Sonoma County’s repeated wildfire corridors, and that changes everything about what we find in the ducts. After the Tubbs Fire in 2017, the Kincade Fire in 2019, and the Glass Fire in 2020, homeowners in Coffey Park and Fountaingrove learned that smoke odor persists for months when ash coats the return plenum and blower wheel, even when registers look clean. The city’s Mediterranean climate funnels dry north winds down the Mayacamas and Sonoma Mountains each fall, precisely when red-flag warnings pull fresh smoke into HVAC returns.
The housing stock shapes the work too. Rincon Valley and Bennett Valley are packed with 1960s – 70s ranch homes built with original rigid metal ductwork and minimal returns; those systems leak heavily at unsealed joints, so we often recommend pairing cleaning with duct sealing. The rebuilt neighborhoods in Fountaingrove and Coffey Park use flex duct in tighter envelopes, which changes our access approach and tool selection. Summer AC use stirs oak pollen and vineyard dust into the mix, but it’s the fire-season particulate that drives our peak demand window from October through January.
Our Main Santa Rosa Services
These are the three jobs Santa Rosa homeowners call us for most often, each with its own local page and pricing.
Air Duct Cleaning in Santa Rosa
We clean the full supply and return system with a Rotobrush rotary brush and Nikro negative-air machine, pulling loosened debris out rather than pushing it deeper. In Santa Rosa, this means addressing wildfire ash that settles in the plenum and blower compartment, not just dust in the branch lines. We photograph the before and after condition of your ducts so you see what came out. Every job gets a written price upfront and is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise.

Dryer Vent Cleaning in Santa Rosa
Lint buildup in dryer vents is a leading cause of house fires, and Santa Rosa’s older ranch homes often have long vent runs through crawl spaces or attics that sag and trap material. We use rotary brushes and high-velocity air tools to clear the full line from dryer to termination, then verify airflow with a meter. If the vent line is damaged or improperly routed, we’ll note it in writing before suggesting any repair. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Santa Rosa
Duct Sealing in Santa Rosa
Unsealed metal duct joints in 1960s – 70s Santa Rosa homes leak conditioned air into attics and crawl spaces, wasting energy and pulling in garage fumes or crawl space mold. We apply duct sealing mastic and reinforced tape at accessible joints, or recommend aerosol-based sealing for systems with limited access. This is often the right follow-up to cleaning in Rincon Valley and Bennett Valley homes where the original installers never sealed the connections. Duct Sealing in Santa Rosa
