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 St. Augustine Beach, FL
Air duct cleaning in St. Augustine Beach runs $350 – $650 for a typical single-system home, with most jobs scheduled within a few days and completed in three to five hours. What drives the real difference here isn’t the equipment alone; it’s the salt-laden marine air and hurricane exposure that inland Florida markets simply don’t face. Hollis Air Duct Cleaning serves St. Augustine Beach with rotary brush and negative-air systems built for coastal duct decontamination, and every job starts with a written price that doesn’t move. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why St. Augustine Beach Homes Are Different
St. Augustine Beach sits on Anastasia Island, exposed to Atlantic salt spray and the Matanzas River estuary. That combination changes everything inside a duct system. Salt aerosol pulls moisture into unconditioned attics and crawlspaces, and when a named storm pushes wind-driven rain through soffits or roof vents, ductwork soaks it up. We’ve opened return plenums in beach cottages off A1A where the galvanized steel was corroding from the inside out, and in elevated stilt homes where short attic runs had mold colonies fed by years of humidity cycling.
The housing stock here is split three ways: 1950s – 70s concrete-block beach cottages with simple, exposed duct runs; elevated homes on pilings with tight crawlspace access; and newer condo developments along the beachfront with shared mechanical systems and HOA maintenance rules. Each type carries its own risk profile. Older block homes often have unsealed duct connections that draw attic air. Stilt homes can have flex duct hanging in salt-air crawlspaces that degrades faster than inland equivalents. Condos and townhomes may need coordination with building management before we can access rooftop units or common returns.
After every named storm or major flooding event, we see the same pattern: calls spike for duct sanitizing because storm surge moisture and wind-driven salt spray get pulled into attic ductwork and return plenums. This isn’t routine dust removal. It’s post-storm decontamination and corrosion control, and it’s work that barely registers for crews thirty miles inland in Jacksonville or Gainesville.
Our Main St. Augustine Beach Services
Most St. Augustine Beach homeowners call us for one of three jobs, each with its own page and pricing.
Air Duct Cleaning in St. Augustine Beach
We clean supply and return ductwork with Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines, pulling debris out rather than pushing it deeper. In St. Augustine Beach, we pay special attention to post-storm moisture intrusion and salt corrosion inside attic runs. Every job includes before-and-after photos of your own ducts, and the price is written before we start. Air Duct Cleaning in St. Augustine Beach
Dryer Vent Cleaning in St. Augustine Beach
Lint buildup in dryer vents is a fire hazard anywhere, but in St. Augustine Beach the salt-air corrosion of vent hoods and exterior terminations adds another failure point. We clean the full run from dryer to termination, inspect for corrosion damage, and replace compromised vent hoods with proper hardware. Dryer Vent Cleaning in St. Augustine Beach
Duct Sealing in St. Augustine Beach
Leaky ducts in coastal attics pull humid, salt-laden air into the system year-round. We seal joints and connections with mastic and specialized tape, then pressure-test to verify the seal. In St. Augustine Beach, this work pays for itself faster than inland because every cubic foot of unconditioned attic air you stop pulling in is air that didn’t carry salt and moisture through your system.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in St. Augustine Beach
No permit is required for routine duct cleaning or dryer vent cleaning in St. Augustine Beach. Duct sealing that involves modifying or replacing duct sections may need a permit if it’s part of a larger HVAC alteration; we handle the paperwork when that’s the case. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll tell you exactly what your job requires before we schedule.
We prioritize post-storm calls for duct decontamination because salt and moisture damage worsens the longer it sits. Scheduling is coordinated from our Miami office, and we typically book St. Augustine Beach jobs within a few days, sooner for active mold or water intrusion. The exact timing depends on road conditions and building access after the event.
Most St. Augustine Beach condo HOAs require 24 – 48 hour notice for any work that accesses common mechanical areas or rooftop equipment. We coordinate directly with your property manager, provide our insurance documentation, and schedule within HOA maintenance windows. Ask us to handle the notification; we’ve done it before and we know what they need.
