AfterHow Much Does Duct Repair & Sealing Cost in Clovis?
Duct repair and sealing in Clovis typically runs $350 to $1,200, with most single-system homes landing in the $450 to $750 range. Small seal jobs on accessible attic runs start around $285, while full replacement of collapsed flex duct in a two-story Clovis home can climb past $1,800. If your ducts are losing air at the joints, a professional seal-and-repair visit usually costs less than one summer of wasted cooling.
That number moves up or down based on how many leaks we find, how hard they are to reach, and whether the ducts are flex, sheet metal, or older rigid board. We give free estimates in Clovis so you’re not guessing at the figure. Call (855) 661-0630 and we’ll scope it on site.
Key Takeaways
- Most Clovis homeowners pay $450 – $750 for duct repair and sealing.

Duct Repair & Sealing Cost Breakdown (2026)
Here’s how the line items shake out for Clovis homes this year. These ranges assume a standard single-family house with attic or subfloor duct runs. Every quote is written before we start, so you approve the number first.
| Service | Typical Cost in Clovis (2026) | What It Covers |
|---|---|---|
| Leak inspection & airflow test | $95 – $175 (waived with repair) | Pressure check, visual walk of every run |
| Mastic sealing at accessible joints | $285 – $520 | Sealing boots, elbows, and register connections |
| Aerosol duct sealing (whole system) | $650 – $1,100 | Seals tiny leaks we can’t reach by hand |
| Flex duct section replacement (per run) | $120 – $280 | Torn or crushed flex replaced and re-sealed |
| Sheet metal duct repair (per section) | $180 – $450 | Patch, re-tape, and re-hang rigid duct |
| Insulation wrap on exposed runs | $150 – $400 | Re-insulating ducts in a hot attic |
| Full duct replacement (whole house) | $1,200 – $3,500 | Rare, for collapsed or contaminated systems |
What pushes the price up: long attic runs near the roof deck (Clovis attics hit 140°F in July, which degrades flex duct faster than most people think), crushed ducts under low-clearance floors, and homes where a previous owner patched with duct tape that has since failed. What pulls it down: open, accessible attics, sealing-only jobs, and bundling repair with a cleaning visit. If the ducts are also dirty, cleaning and sealing together costs less than two separate trips.

What Affects Duct Repair & Sealing Pricing in Clovis
- Duct material. Flex duct is the most common in Clovis tract homes and is the cheapest to repair or replace per run. Sheet metal costs more to patch because it needs proper hanging and sealing, not just tape.
- Access. A walkable attic with a clear path prices far lower than a crawl space packed with plumbing and HVAC lines. We quote access honestly, not optimistically.
- Number of leaks. One boot connection leaking is a $285 job. Twelve leaking joints across a three-bedroom system is a different scope, and we tell you which one you have.
- Sealing method. Hand-applied mastic handles accessible joints well and costs less. Aerosol sealing reaches the hidden leaks and costs more, but it’s often the only way to get at leaks buried in finished walls.
- Central Valley heat. Clovis summers degrade duct insulation and dry out old tape. Ducts that ran 15 years in a hot attic often need insulation wrap and re-hanging, not just sealing.
- Whether you bundle cleaning. If your ducts are contaminated, sealing over dirt just traps the problem. Cleaning plus repair in one visit is more efficient than two separate contractors.
How to Save on Duct Repair & Sealing
Saving on duct work isn’t about finding the cheapest quote. It’s about fixing the right thing the first time, so you don’t pay twice. Here’s what actually works in Clovis homes.
- Fix leaks before they spread. A leaking joint stresses the duct around it. Seal early and you avoid a section replacement later. Our home page explains the full scope of what we handle.
- Bundle repair with cleaning. If dirt is part of the problem, doing both in one visit cuts labor and travel. We use Rotobrush brush-contact extraction and Nikro HEPA-filtered vacuums so the ducts come out clean, not just re-taped.
- Ask for a leakage test. A before-and-after pressure test shows you what you paid for. It also tells us whether full replacement is truly needed or whether sealing will do.
- Don’t seal over a dirty system. Sealing traps debris and odor. Clean first, then seal, and the result holds.

Why Duct Repair Beats Replacing the Whole System
Most Clovis homes don’t need new ducts. They need the leaks sealed and the damaged runs repaired. We see this constantly in older neighborhoods where a system that’s 12 to 20 years old has a few crushed runs and a dozen leaking joints – fixing those costs a fraction of a full replacement and restores airflow the same day. Full replacement only makes sense when ducts are collapsed, water-damaged, or so contaminated that repair can’t bring them back. Our repair team carries Abatement Technologies equipment and Guardsman protective products, so we can clean, seal, and protect in one pass while working within your existing Honeywell or Aprilaire setup. That means no second contractor and no gap between cleaning and repair.
Duct repair and cleaning are separate skills, and many companies only do one. We do both. That matters in Clovis homes where an attic run has torn, leaking flex duct sitting next to dust that’s been building for a decade.
Ducts vs. Dryer Vents: Two Different Jobs, Two Different Costs
Air ducts and dryer vents get lumped together, but they solve different problems. Duct repair keeps your conditioned air where it belongs and protects your energy bill. Dryer vent cleaning prevents lint buildup, and lint is a documented leading cause of residential dryer fires. The two jobs use different equipment and different techniques, and we handle both so you don’t call three contractors. If your dryer takes two cycles to dry a load, that’s a lint problem worth addressing, not just an inconvenience.
Duct work matters for comfort and air quality. Dryer vent work matters for fire safety. Both are worth doing, and doing them in the same visit is common for Clovis homeowners. Ask about bundling when you call (855) 661-0630.
Signs You Need Duct Repair in Clovis
- Rooms that won’t cool or heat evenly, especially upstairs bedrooms in Clovis summers.
- Dust that resettles within a day of cleaning – often a sign of leaking return ducts pulling from the attic.
- Musty smells when the system kicks on, which points to moisture or a gap drawing in attic air.
- Rising energy bills with no change in usage, a classic symptom of supply ducts leaking into the attic.
- Visible tears, crushed sections, or duct tape peeling away from the joints.
If any of these sound familiar, a repair and sealing visit usually resolves them. We scope the system first so you know exactly what needs fixing and what doesn’t.
FAQs – Duct Repair & Sealing Cost
How much does duct repair and sealing cost in Clovis?
Most Clovis homes pay $450 to $750, with the full range running $350 to $1,200 depending on scope. A single leak sealing job can start near $285, and whole-house replacement of collapsed ducts can exceed $1,800. Call (855) 661-0630 for an exact quote – the estimate is free.
Is duct sealing cheaper than duct replacement?
Yes, by a wide margin. Sealing a leaking system typically costs $285 – $1,100, while full duct replacement in a Clovis home runs $1,200 – $3,500. Replacement is only necessary when ducts are collapsed or contaminated beyond repair. For most homes, sealing and targeted repair restores performance at a fraction of the cost.
How much does duct cleaning cost if I also need repair?
Cleaning and repair bundled usually runs $500 to $1,100 total, less than booking two separate visits. If your system is dirty and leaking, doing both in one pass is the efficient path. Call (855) 661-0630 to scope both together.
Can you repair ducts the same day?
Small sealing and repair jobs are often done same-day or within 48 hours, depending on parts. Flex duct replacement sections are stocked locally, so most Clovis homes don’t wait long. Call (855) 661-0630 and we’ll tell you the soonest available slot.
Why do duct prices in Clovis run higher in summer?
Attic temperatures in Clovis hit 140°F or more in July and August, which degrades flex duct, dries out old tape, and forces technicians to work in tougher conditions. That heat exposure is also why so many Clovis systems need repair in the first place. Scheduling repair before the cooling season is a wiser move than waiting for a mid-August failure.

What Our Customers Say
"Did the dryer vent while they were here for a small add on price. The dryer now finishes a load in one cycle instead of two."
- Tim Walsh"Ran a negative air machine on the whole system rather than the shop vac on a stick that the cheap outfit down the road uses. Showed me the before and after photos from inside the trunk line and it was genuinely disgusting."
- Ryan Novak"Job was done well and the house smells better. There was some dust knocked loose around a couple of the registers that I had to wipe down afterward."
