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 Doraville
Air duct cleaning in Doraville typically runs $350 – $650 for a full residential system, and most jobs are scheduled within a few business days. If your home sits near the Buford Highway corridor or in one of the older neighborhoods off Chestnut Drive or Tilly Mill Road, you’re likely dealing with decades of buildup in original metal ductwork, plus grease and cooking odors that standard cleaning alone won’t touch.
We’ve been serving Doraville since 2004 as part of the Garrison Partners family, and our crews know the split between the city’s 1950s – 70s ranch homes and the newer townhomes going up along the international corridor. Our Air Duct Cleaning in Doraville is dispatched from our Atlanta office, but the trucks that roll into Doraville carry Rotobrush rotary systems and Nikro negative-air machines, not hardware-store gear. Call (361) 326-5060 and a live person answers, 24 hours a day. We’ll give you a written price before any work starts, and every job carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Doraville’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Doraville homeowners call us back because we show up inside the window, price the job in writing, and leave the site clean. That’s The Garrison Standard, and it’s how every Hollis crew operates.
Our reputation here is built on finding what other cleaners miss. In Doraville’s older homes, we regularly discover disconnected metal runs, crushed flex connectors at the air handler, and joints that haven’t been sealed since the Johnson administration. We photograph everything, explain it in plain terms, and fix it by the book.
Response time to Doraville neighborhoods is typically same-week scheduling, with our Atlanta-based dispatch coordinating arrival windows that we actually hit. No four-hour waits. No “the truck broke down” calls.
We also understand Doraville’s unique housing landscape. The city’s legacy as a mobile-home manufacturing hub and its current role as a Buford Highway international corridor means we’re cleaning ducts in 1962 ranches one hour and 2019 townhomes the next. Each requires a different approach, and our technicians are trained on both.
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Doraville
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Doraville cover the complete removal of dust, debris, pollen, and microbial growth from your supply and return ductwork, followed by sealing any leaks we find. A typical residential job in Doraville runs $350 – $550 for a standard single-system home, while larger homes or systems with heavy contamination can reach $650. Commercial kitchen exhaust and grease-odor remediation near the Buford Highway corridor starts around $800 due to the specialized degreasing required.
Residential Duct Cleaning
Most Doraville homes we clean fall into two categories: original 1950s – 70s metal ductwork with loose joints and poor insulation, or newer flex duct that’s been crushed during installation or settling. Our residential crew uses Rotobrush agitation tools to knock debris loose, then extracts it under negative pressure with HEPA filtration so nothing recirculates into your living space.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Restaurants and markets along Buford Highway face a specific challenge: grease-laden vapor gets drawn into rooftop units and shared return plenums, coating duct interiors with a flammable, odor-trapping film. Our commercial crews use heated degreasing solutions and Abatement Technologies filtration to remove it safely, with documentation for fire-insurance compliance.

HVAC Duct Cleaning in Doraville
HVAC Duct Cleaning in Doraville means cleaning the entire air distribution system, not just the vents you can see. We remove registers, clean the duct trunk lines and branch runs, service the return air plenum, and inspect the evaporator coil and blower assembly if accessible. For a typical Doraville home, expect $400 – $600 for this full-system approach. Homes with video inspection added, or those requiring coil cleaning, may run toward the upper end.
Supply and Return Cleaning
Supply ducts push conditioned air into your rooms; return ducts pull it back. In Doraville’s humid climate, return ducts are where we find the heaviest pollen accumulation and mold growth, especially in spring and fall when Atlanta’s tree pollen counts spike. We clean both sides of the system because dirty returns recontaminate clean supplies within days.
Video Inspection and Documentation
Before we start and after we finish, we run a camera through your ducts. Doraville homeowners get timestamped photos of what we found, what we removed, and what we sealed. This matters for older homes where insurance claims or real estate transactions require documentation of duct condition.
Trusted Brands We Service in Doraville
We clean and service ductwork connected to all major HVAC brands, and we stock filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman for Doraville customers who want upgraded protection after their cleaning. Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems for agitation, Nikro negative-air machines for extraction, and Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration to contain what we remove. If your Doraville home needs a new media filter or UV germicidal light installed during the cleaning visit, we carry the parts and can price it in writing on the spot. No return trips, no waiting on shipping.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Doraville Homes
- Original metal ductwork with failed joints. Homes built in Doraville’s 1950s – 1970s boom, especially the ranch-style houses near Chestnut Drive and Tilly Mill Road, often have galvanized steel ducts where every joint has loosened over sixty years. We find gaps of a half-inch or more, which means conditioned air leaks into attics and crawl spaces while unfiltered attic air gets sucked into returns.
- Buford Highway grease and odor infiltration. The international restaurant corridor vents a constant load of cooking vapor. Homes within a few blocks, particularly downwind properties, draw grease-laden air into return ducts. Standard debris removal won’t touch it; the ducts need enzymatic degreasing and odor neutralization.
- Crushed or improperly sealed flex duct in newer construction. Townhomes and apartments built along Buford Highway in the last decade often use flexible ductboard that’s been pinched during installation or compressed by maintenance workers in tight attic spaces. Airflow drops by 30% or more before homeowners even notice.
- Condensation-driven mold in summer. Atlanta’s humid subtropical climate means Doraville AC systems run hard from May through September. Cold air in poorly insulated metal ducts meets hot, humid attic air, and the resulting condensation feeds mold growth on duct interiors. We treat it with antimicrobial application after mechanical cleaning.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Doraville, GA
A standard residential air duct cleaning in Doraville runs $350 – $550 for a single HVAC system with up to fifteen vents. Larger homes, dual-zone systems, or properties requiring commercial-grade degreasing near Buford Highway typically fall in the $550 – $850 range. Video inspection adds $75 – $125. Duct sealing with mastic and metal tape, which we often recommend for 1960s-era metal ductwork, runs $200 – $400 depending on linear footage and accessibility.
What moves the price: number of vents and returns, system accessibility (crawl space vs. attic), contamination level (standard dust vs. grease-odor remediation), and whether we find disconnected or crushed runs that need repair. We price every job in writing before touching equipment. The number on the paper is the number at completion. No per-vent add-ons, no “we found a problem” surcharges once the truck is in your driveway.
Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate. We’ll ask about your home’s age, location relative to Buford Highway, and any odor or airflow issues you’re experiencing, then give you a range you can plan around.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Doraville
Because standard vacuum extraction doesn’t remove grease film. The international restaurant corridor along Buford Highway vents vaporized cooking oil that settles in nearby residential return ducts as a thin, sticky coating. Normal brushing and vacuuming leaves it intact, and it continues to off-gas odor. Our crews treat grease-impacted ducts with heated enzymatic degreaser followed by odor-neutralizing fog, then verify removal with post-cleaning inspection. Call (361) 326-5060 if you’re in the corridor and still smelling kitchens after a previous cleaning.
Cleaning alone is rarely enough for original 1960s metal ductwork. After sixty years of thermal expansion and contraction, the joints in Doraville’s ranch homes have loosened to the point where significant conditioned air leaks into attics and crawl spaces. We clean first, then pressure-test the system and photograph every joint. Sealing with mastic and metal tape typically adds $200 – $400 but often improves system efficiency more than the cleaning itself. The written price covers both before we start.
Atlanta’s humid subtropical climate means Doraville HVAC systems run cooling heavily from May through September, creating cold duct surfaces that attract condensation when attic air hits 90°F with 70% relative humidity. That moisture feeds mold and mildew on duct interiors, particularly in spring and fall when pollen also peaks. We find this combination in roughly half the older Doraville homes we clean, and we treat it with antimicrobial application after mechanical removal. Annual cleaning is more valuable here than in drier climates.
Yes. Newer townhomes typically use flexible ductboard rather than rigid metal, and the problems we find are installation defects: crushed runs in tight chases, poorly sealed connections at the air handler, and inadequate support straps that let ducts sag and pool condensation. The cleaning method differs, we use gentler rotary brushes to avoid tearing flex duct, and the repair focus shifts from resealing metal joints to reconnecting and supporting flex runs properly. Pricing is similar, but the diagnostic approach is distinct.
We remove every register and return grille, insert a Rotobrush rotary agitation tool to knock debris loose from duct walls, then extract it under negative pressure using a Nikro HEPA-filtered collection system. We inspect with a camera before and after. For 1960s-era homes, we also pressure-test for leaks and photograph joint conditions. If we find disconnected runs, crushed flex, or grease contamination from nearby restaurants, we explain it in writing and price the repair before proceeding. You get before-and-after photos, a written invoice matching the written estimate, and coverage under our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule.
