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 Tiburon, CA
Most Tiburon homes need whole-system duct cleaning every three to five years, with costs typically running $450 to $850 for a standard single-system home. The salt-laden bay air and heavy pollen loads here mean ducts accumulate a gritty coastal film that inland systems simply don’t face. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Garrison Partners family, and our crews serve Tiburon from our San Francisco Bay Area dispatch office with the same equipment and standards we use on commercial jobs. Call us at (361) 326-5060 for a written estimate before any work starts.
Why Tiburon Homes Are Different
Tiburon’s microclimate is a genuine outlier. Marine fog rolls in most mornings, carrying salt that settles inside attic duct chases and crawlspace runs. By afternoon the sun burns it off, but that daily moisture cycle leaves a corrosive film on galvanized duct walls. Spring and fall bring heavy pollen loads from the oak and eucalyptus canopies on the surrounding hillsides, which pulls into return ducts and cakes on interior surfaces.
The housing stock compounds the challenge. Mid-century ranches from the 1950s through the 1970s still dominate many streets, often with original flex duct or galvanized runs now well past service life. Custom hillside builds from later decades sit on steep, narrow lots with HVAC equipment shoehorned into tight crawlspaces, under low-pitched roofs, or beneath stairwells. We’ve cleaned systems on Belvedere Avenue where our technician had to run a 75-foot hose through a crawlspace opening barely 18 inches high. Equipment access is often the hardest part of the job.
Many homes also pull unfiltered exterior air through poorly sealed attic penetrations, drawing in that salt-pollen mix continuously. Standard rotary brushing alone won’t lift the bonded coastal residue; our crews typically follow with a sanitizing fog to neutralize what the brush leaves behind.
Our Main Tiburon Services
These are the three services Tiburon homeowners call us about most often. Each has its own page with full details on pricing, process, and what to expect.
Air Duct Cleaning in Tiburon
We clean the full supply and return network with Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines, pulling debris out rather than pushing it deeper into the system. In Tiburon, we pay special attention to return duct trunks where coastal grime and pollen bond to duct walls. The job includes all registers, boots, and the main trunk lines we can access. We photograph the before condition and show you the after. Air Duct Cleaning in Tiburon covers full pricing and scheduling.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Tiburon
Dryer vents in Tiburon’s hillside homes often run long vertical or horizontal routes through framed chases, sometimes with multiple bends that trap lint. We use rotary brushes and high-velocity air tools to clear the full run from appliance to termination, then verify airflow with a meter. Bird guard installations are common here given the proximity to open hillside. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Tiburon has the full breakdown.
Duct Sealing in Tiburon
We seal accessible duct joints and penetrations with mastic and mesh reinforcement, then pressure-test to verify the seal holds. In Tiburon, this matters more than most places: every gap pulls in that salt-pollen mix from attics and crawlspaces, coating the system faster and working against your filtration. Duct Sealing in Tiburon explains the process and when it makes sense.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Tiburon
Most Tiburon HOAs do not require advance notice for interior maintenance, but gated communities like Corinthian Island need entry clearance for our truck. We coordinate that when you book. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll handle the details.
Most single-system cleanings run three to four hours. Hillside homes with tight access add thirty to sixty minutes for equipment setup and breakdown. We give you a firm arrival window, not a daylong wait.
Salt air is a maintenance reality in Tiburon, not a one-time fix. We recommend inspection every three years, with cleaning timed to spring after pollen season or fall before winter rains. Duct sealing reduces how much unfiltered air enters the system. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule a look.
