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.

Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Cypress Lake’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been in business since 2004 as part of the Garrison Partners family, and our Air Duct Cleaning team has built a reputation in Lee County by showing up inside the quoted window, pricing in writing, and leaving the site clean. Cypress Lake homeowners know the bait-and-switch routine: a low coupon price that balloons once the van is in the driveway. We don’t operate that way. The price is written down before any work starts, and it does not move at the door.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and every job carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If the work fails within a year, we return and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. Phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so you’re not waiting through voicemail loops or callback queues when you need to schedule.
We know Cypress Lake’s neighborhoods, from the ranches off Summerlin Road to the homes near the Cypress Lake Preserve. That local knowledge matters when we’re tracing a musty smell to a crushed duct run hidden in a 1970s attic chase or identifying salt corrosion on a blower motor housing that inland Fort Myers techs rarely see.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Cypress Lake
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Cypress Lake means more than pushing a brush through a duct. Most homes here are single-family ranch-style houses built from the 1960s through the 1990s, many with original or early replacement duct systems now 20 – 40 years old. These older ducts often have leaks, disconnected joints, and deteriorated insulation. Combined with Cypress Lake’s humidity, that creates ideal conditions for mold and mildew inside the ductwork. A typical residential cleaning runs $350 – $650, but if we find crushed runs or corroded fittings that need replacement, we’ll show you on camera and give you a written price for the repair before we proceed.
What We Find in Older Ranch Systems
Because Cypress Lake is a census-designated place in unincorporated Lee County, most of its 1960s – 1990s ranch homes sit on septic systems and rely on well or older plumbing, so slab and attic duct chases often show rust staining and organic growth that newer Fort Myers subdivisions don’t have. We frequently have to separate duct-side condensation problems from plumbing-side moisture before any cleaning work is effective. Skip this step and you’re just cleaning mold that’ll grow back in weeks.
Camera Inspection and Source Removal
We inspect with video before and after. You see what we see: the disconnected return, the deteriorated insulation jacket, the wind-driven rain debris from last summer’s storm. Our rotary brush systems from Rotobrush and negative-air machines from Nikro remove debris at the source, not just redistribute it. We follow NADCA standards for containment and negative pressure during the job.
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Cypress Lake
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Cypress Lake serves the small offices, medical clinics, retail spaces, and property management portfolios that keep this community running. Cypress Lake’s commercial buildings face the same salt-air and humidity challenges as its homes, often with the added burden of rooftop units exposed to Gulf winds. A typical commercial system cleaning runs $800 – $2,400 depending on square footage, unit count, and accessibility. We price by the system, not by the vent, and we put that price in writing before we start.
Minimizing Disruption to Your Operation
We schedule around your hours. Our crew arrives uniformed, works contained, and leaves the site clean. The Garrison Code requires it. For medical or food-service spaces, we can provide post-clean verification documentation and photos for your records or inspector.
Rooftop Unit and Exhaust System Attention
Cypress Lake’s commercial rooftops take direct salt spray. We inspect air handler cabinets, blower housings, and galvanized fittings for corrosion that inland properties rarely show. Catching corroded metal early means replacement before failure, not emergency shutdown during July heat.
Trusted Brands We Service in Cypress Lake
We run professional-grade equipment, not hardware-store gear. Our rotary brush systems come from Rotobrush, our negative-air machines from Nikro, and our filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman. These are the same tools commercial crews use, and we explain what each does while we’re working. For Cypress Lake customers, that means parts and compatible components are available without long wait times, and our technicians are trained on the specific equipment brands installed in local homes. No guessing. No “we’ll have to order that and come back.”
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Cypress Lake Homes
- Crushed or disconnected duct runs hidden in attic chases. Original 1960s – 1990s duct runs in Cypress Lake often have crushed or disconnected joints hidden above the ceiling. A standard negative-pressure clean won’t fully clear the system until the broken run is reconnected and sealed with mastic.
- Wind-driven rain and attic insulation debris after storms. After a named storm or even a heavy summer downpour, technicians in Cypress Lake routinely find that attic ductwork has been infiltrated by wind-driven rain and attic insulation debris, requiring full duct cleaning and sanitizing before the system can be safely used again.
- Salt-laden Gulf air corroding metal components. Salt-laden Gulf air corrodes the air handler cabinet, blower motor housing, and galvanized duct fittings in Cypress Lake homes more aggressively than inland Fort Myers. Part of the job is often identifying corroded metal that needs replacement, not just cleaning.
- Condensation-fed mold on deteriorated insulation. Cypress Lake’s humid subtropical climate keeps HVAC systems running nearly year-round, creating constant condensation in ducts. The region’s high water table and humidity make microbial growth inside ductwork a recurring issue, especially where insulation jackets have degraded.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Cypress Lake
Cypress Lake’s older ranch housing stock, unincorporated septic and well systems, and direct Gulf exposure create moisture conditions newer subdivisions avoid. Rust staining and organic growth in slab and attic chases are common here, and duct-side condensation mixes with plumbing-side moisture in ways that require diagnosis before cleaning. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll trace the source with camera inspection.
Yes, frequently. Original 1960s – 1990s duct runs in Cypress Lake often have crushed or disconnected joints hidden in attic chases. We locate them with video inspection, reconnect or replace the damaged section with new insulated flex, and provide Duct Sealing - Cypress Lake with mastic on all joints, verifying airflow before we leave. The repair is priced in writing before we start. Call (361) 326-5060 for an exact quote – estimates are free.
Within days, not weeks. Wind-driven rain and attic insulation debris enter through roof vents and damaged chases quickly in Cypress Lake, and wet cellulose or fiberglass in supply ducts turns into microbial growth within days if not removed by source removal and sanitizing. We were called to a 1974 ranch off Summerlin Road near the Cypress Lake Preserve, where the homeowner reported a musty smell in the master bedroom every time the system ran. Using camera inspection through the return and supply ducts, our tech found a crushed run that had been disconnected since the original 1974 installation, and attic condensation had fed mold on the deteriorated insulation jacket. We restored the run with a new insulated flex section, sealed the joints, and sanitized the affected air handler and supply and return ducts under negative pressure following NADCA standards. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule post-storm inspection.
Yes. Salt-laden air corrodes air handler cabinets, blower motor housings, and galvanized duct fittings in Cypress Lake homes more aggressively than inland Fort Myers properties. We inspect for this corrosion during every job and identify metal that needs replacement before it fails completely. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll include corrosion assessment in your free estimate.
MER V 8 – 11 typically. Higher MERV ratings restrict airflow, and Cypress Lake’s older duct systems with leaks or deteriorated insulation can’t handle the static pressure. We match filtration to your system’s actual condition, not sell you the highest number. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll assess your ductwork and recommend appropriately.
