West Oakland Ductwork Specialists
We’ve been fixing ductwork problems in West Oakland for years. We understand the unique challenges that come with older homes in this area.
Most of the houses we work on were built between 1900 and 1960, and we’ve seen every type of ductwork issue these homes develop. From deteriorated connections to inadequate insulation, we know exactly what to look for and how to fix it right.
We’re local contractors who show up when we say we will. No runaround, no surprise charges, just honest work that solves your comfort problems.
Our Air Duct Repair Process
First, we inspect your entire duct system to find all the problem areas. We don’t just patch the obvious spots and leave you with other issues waiting to surface.
We’ll show you exactly what’s wrong and explain what needs to be fixed before we start any work. You’ll know the cost upfront, and we’ll walk you through why each repair is necessary.
Then we get to work sealing leaks, replacing damaged sections, and ensuring proper connections throughout your system. We test everything before we leave to make sure your airflow is working the way it should.

Complete HVAC Duct Repair
Our duct repair services cover everything from minor leak sealing to complete section replacement. We handle disconnected joints, damaged insulation, and crushed or collapsed ducts that restrict airflow.
We also address inadequate ductwork that was never properly sized for your home. Many Oakland homes have additions or modifications that created airflow problems, and we can redesign sections to work with your current layout.
Every repair includes proper sealing and insulation to prevent future problems. We use professional-grade materials that last, not temporary fixes that fail in a few months.
How do I know if my air ducts need repair?
Uneven temperatures between rooms are usually the first sign of ductwork problems. If your bedroom is always too hot while your living room stays comfortable, you likely have leaks or disconnections affecting airflow. Rising energy bills without increased usage also indicate your system is working harder due to duct issues. You might also notice more dust than usual, strange smells from vents, or whistling sounds when your system runs. These symptoms typically mean air is escaping where it shouldn’t or getting restricted somewhere in your ductwork.
Can you repair ducts without tearing up my walls?
Most duct repairs can be completed through existing access points like crawl spaces, basements, or attic areas without any wall damage. We use specialized tools and techniques to reach problem areas through your existing ductwork system. In older Oakland homes, ducts are typically accessible from underneath or above living spaces. Only in rare cases involving ducts buried deep within walls do we need to create small access points, and we always discuss this with you first and repair any openings we make.
How long does air duct repair usually take?
Most residential duct repair jobs take between 4-8 hours depending on the extent of the problems and accessibility of your ductwork. Simple leak sealing might only take a few hours, while replacing damaged sections or redesigning inadequate ductwork takes longer. We’ll give you a time estimate after our initial inspection so you can plan accordingly. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine, and most repairs are completed in a single day. Complex jobs involving multiple sections might require a second day, but we’ll let you know upfront if that’s the case.
Is it better to repair or replace my entire duct system?
Repair is usually the right choice unless your ductwork is extensively damaged throughout the entire system. Most homes have isolated problem areas that can be fixed effectively without full replacement. We’ll assess the overall condition of your ductwork and give you honest recommendations based on what we find. If 70% or more of your ducts need work, replacement might make more sense financially. But in most cases, targeted repairs solve your comfort and efficiency problems at a fraction of the cost of full system replacement.
Will duct repair really lower my energy bills?
Yes, properly sealed and repaired ductwork typically reduces energy costs by 15-30% depending on how extensive the problems were. When ducts leak, your system has to work much harder to maintain comfortable temperatures because conditioned air escapes before reaching your living spaces. Sealing these leaks means more of the air you’re paying to heat or cool actually makes it to where you need it. You’ll see the difference in your next utility bill, especially during peak heating and cooling seasons when your system runs most frequently.
Do you guarantee your duct repair work?
We stand behind our duct repair work because we use quality materials and proven techniques that last. Our repairs are designed to solve your problems permanently, not just temporarily patch them up. If you experience issues with areas we’ve repaired, we’ll come back and make it right. We want you to be completely satisfied with your improved comfort and energy savings. Most of our customers see immediate improvement in airflow and temperature control throughout their homes, and those results continue year after year.
