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.

AfterFast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Addison
Air duct cleaning in Addison typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole residential system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. Our crews dispatch from the Dallas-Fort Worth office and carry the same Rotobrush and Nikro equipment we use on commercial accounts along the Dallas North Tollway. If you live in an Addison condo, townhome, or apartment built between the 1970s and 2000s, your ductwork is probably vertical, shared between units, and overdue for a real inspection, not just a register wipe. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate with a written price before any work starts.
We’ve cleaned ductwork in Addison Circle, along Belt Line Road, and in the mid-rise buildings near the Galleria area. The housing stock here is different from Carrollton or Plano. Most residents don’t live in detached single-family homes. They live in stacked units with compact chases and shared risers that require a specific approach most suburban duct cleaners haven’t encountered. That’s why our Air Duct Cleaning team trains on multi-unit isolation protocols and carries HOA-ready access documentation on every job.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Addison’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been part of the Garrison Partners family since 2004. In Addison, that longevity means we’ve watched the restaurant density along Belt Line Road triple, the office mid-rises fill and refit, and the original 1980s condo stock age into its fourth decade of service. We know which buildings have original flex duct that crumbles at the elbow, which HOAs require 48-hour notice, and which property managers want before-and-after video on every job.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and expected to operate by The Garrison Code: arrive inside the quoted window, price in writing before touching equipment, complete the job by the book, and leave the site clean. Every repair and cleaning carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work fails within a year, we return and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. The price you sign off on is the price you pay. No per-vent add-ons, no equipment surcharges once the van is in your driveway.
Phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No voicemail loops, no callback queues, no waiting until Monday to schedule.
Ductwork Cleaning in Addison
Ductwork Cleaning in Addison means something different than it does in neighboring suburbs with their single-family subdivisions. Most Addison residents live in apartments, condos, and townhomes built between the 1970s and 2000s, where ductwork is compact, vertical, and shared between stacked units. A typical residential job here runs $350 – $550 for a whole-system clean, while commercial kitchen exhaust cleaning along Belt Line Road or the Dallas North Tollway corridor runs $800 – $1,500 depending on grease accumulation and access height. The work involves source removal using a rotary brush system and HEPA vacuum under controlled negative pressure, not just blowing compressed air through the registers.
Shared-Stack Isolation Protocol
When one unit in a stacked condo shares a riser with its neighbor, cleaning without isolation pushes debris into the adjacent return. We seal and negatively pressurize the full shared section before agitation begins, with HOA coordination completed beforehand. This is standard on our Addison jobs. It is not standard everywhere.
Grease Exhaust and Commercial Kitchen Systems
Addison’s dense dining districts create a commercial market most residential duct cleaners ignore. Restaurant exhaust ducts accumulate grease fast enough that many are cleaned quarterly to prevent fire-code violations. We use Nikro negative-air machines and Abatement Technologies filtration on these jobs, with written documentation for fire marshal inspections.
Air Duct Inspection in Addison
Air Duct Inspection in Addison should start with a camera before any cleaning is quoted. The compact vertical chases in 1970s – 2000s townhomes and condos hide disconnected runs, crushed elbows, and moisture damage that a surface assessment will never catch. A video inspection runs $150 – $250 as a standalone service, or it is included with a full cleaning package. We feed a lighted camera through the supply and return lines and show the homeowner what we see in real time. No guesswork, no surprise finds after work begins.
Disconnected Runs in Vertical Chases
A homeowner in the Addison Circle area called us about a musty smell from the supply register in the primary bedroom of their 1980s townhome – the compact vertical chase ran through two floors and shared a riser wall with the adjacent unit. Our tech ran a camera inspection and found the original 1980s flex run to that register disconnected at a crushed elbow, dumping cooled air into the wall cavity and pulling attic insulation into the air handler; we reconnected the run, sealed the boot with mastic, and HEPA-vacuumed the supply and return ducts under negative pressure while the HOA arranged access for the adjoining unit.
Mold and Moisture Assessment
Addison’s humid subtropical climate drives heavy AC use from May through October. Condensation builds inside vertical ductwork year-round, feeding mold on interior liners where a register wipe cannot reach. Our camera inspection identifies moisture staining and biological growth that indicates where sealing, not just cleaning, is the actual fix.
Trusted Brands We Service in Addison
We clean with and install filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman, and our cleaning equipment includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines. These are the same tools commercial crews use on mid-rise HVAC systems along the Dallas North Tollway. For Addison customers, that means parts and filters are stocked locally, turnaround is fast, and replacements match the specifications of the original equipment rather than generic substitutes. When we recommend a Guardsman media filter or an Aprilaire electronic air cleaner upgrade, we explain exactly what it does for the air moving through your specific system and why it matters in a building where you share duct infrastructure with neighbors.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Addison Homes
- Missed disconnected or crushed runs in compact vertical chases. In Addison’s stacked townhome and condo ductwork, a run often pops loose at an elbow and silently dumps conditioned air into a wall cavity while pulling insulation into the air handler. The homeowner notices weak airflow and higher bills, not the disconnected duct itself.
- Shared-stack cross-contamination. Cleaning one unit in a shared riser without isolating the neighbor’s return can push decades of debris from the 1970s – 2000s build-up straight into an adjacent condo. Jobs that skip HOA coordination and full-stack negative pressure make a neighbor’s air worse, not better.
- Year-round condensation and mold in vertical ductwork. With AC running heavily May to October, the compact, vertical runs in Addison’s mid-rise and condo stock trap moisture that feeds mold on the interior liner. A surface wipe at the registers will never reach it.
- Original 1980s flex duct past its service life. The material becomes brittle, the inner liner delaminates, and the insulation sheds particles into the airstream. Replacement with modern duct board or sealed metal runs is often the only real fix.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Addison, TX
A typical residential ductwork cleaning in Addison runs $350 – $550 for a whole system, with video inspection included in most packages. Standalone camera inspection is $150 – $250. Commercial kitchen exhaust cleaning along Belt Line Road or the Dallas North Tollway corridor ranges $800 – $1,500 depending on grease load, access height, and whether fire-marshal documentation is required. Dryer vent cleaning, which we strongly recommend given Addison’s density of stacked units with long vertical runs, runs $120 – $200.
What moves the price: the number of air handlers, whether the system is shared with adjacent units requiring HOA coordination, the presence of disconnected or damaged duct requiring repair, and whether mold remediation is needed beyond standard source removal. We give one flat price per system, agreed in writing before work starts. No per-vent pricing. No equipment surcharges at the door. Call (361) 326-5060 for an exact quote – estimates are free.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Addison
We can clean your supply and return lines independently, but we cannot safely agitate debris in a shared riser without isolating the full stack under negative pressure. We coordinate with your HOA and the adjoining unit to seal and negatively pressurize the common section before work begins. This prevents cross-contamination and is standard protocol on our Addison multi-unit jobs. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule – we’ll handle the HOA documentation.
We regularly find disconnected flex runs at crushed elbows, delaminated 1980s duct liner shedding particles into the airstream, and moisture staining with biological growth on vertical chase walls. In Addison Circle and similar 1980s townhome clusters, the original installation often used compact flex routed through tight framing that has shifted or settled over forty years. The camera shows exactly where sealing or reconnection is needed, not just where debris has accumulated.
Addison’s dense concentration of 1980s – 90s mid-rise offices, hotels, and restaurants along the Dallas North Tollway creates a commercial air-duct cleaning market where grease-laden kitchen exhausts and sealed-building HVAC systems must be cleaned on strict maintenance schedules to prevent mold and fire hazards. That commercial density means we maintain the same Rotobrush and Nikro equipment certifications and the same fire-marshal documentation standards on your residential job. Your technician is not learning commercial protocol on your condo; they already live it.
Most Addison condo and townhome systems need cleaning every three to five years, with inspection every two years. The heavy AC season drives condensation inside vertical ductwork year-round, so mold-prone buildings or units with prior moisture issues may need more frequent assessment. Shared-stack systems should be inspected whenever a neighbor’s unit is cleaned or renovated, since disturbance in one unit can dislodge debris into the common riser. Call (361) 326-5060 to set up a schedule that matches your building.
Yes, dryer vent cleaning is $120 – $200 and we recommend it for every Addison stacked unit. Long vertical runs through multiple floors accumulate lint that restricts airflow, extends drying time, and creates a fire hazard in buildings where a fire would affect multiple residences. Many Addison HOAs now require annual dryer vent cleaning for insurance compliance. We clean the full run from the appliance to the exterior termination and provide written documentation for your property manager.
