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.

Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Everett’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Hollis has been part of the Garrison Partners family since 2004. Our technicians follow The Garrison Standard on every Everett job: arrive inside the window, price in writing, complete the work by the book, and leave the site clean. That standard matters more in a dense city like Everett, where crews need to respect building access rules, shared spaces, and the neighbors on every side.

When you schedule in Everett, you get a background-checked, uniformed technician who has been briefed on your building type before the van leaves.

We know the difference between a single-family on Elm Street and a condo stack near the Mystic River. That local knowledge means we bring the right equipment, the right access plan, and the right protective setup for your specific Everett home.
Air Duct Repair in Everett
Air Duct Repair in Everett addresses the cracked seams, disconnected boots, and corroded sheet metal that let conditioned air leak into walls, basements, and crawl spaces before it ever reaches your rooms. In Everett’s older housing stock, we see a lot of original riveted ductwork from the 1920s through the 1950s that has worked loose at the joints or rusted through from decades of condensation cycling. Repair costs in Everett typically run $200 – $500 per section for accessible ductwork, with full supply or return line replacement reaching $1,200 – $2,800 depending on material length and access difficulty.
Sealing Riveted Seams and Joints
Original sheet-metal ducts in Everett homes were assembled with rivets and tape, not the sealed, gasketed connections used today. We apply duct sealing mastic and mechanical fasteners to re-establish airtight joints without tearing out walls. This stops the energy loss that drives up heating and cooling bills in older Everett homes.
Reconnecting Disconnected Boots and Transitions
Floor and ceiling registers in Everett triple-deckers often separate from their duct boots over years of vibration and thermal expansion. We reattach and seal these transitions so air flows where it is supposed to, not into the wall cavity where it does no good and can feed mold growth.
Ductwork Cleaning in Everett
Ductwork Cleaning in Everett is biological decontamination work, not a simple dust sweep. Everett sits in the Pacific Northwest moss belt, where roughly 160 rainy days a year and dense evergreen canopy drive algae, lichen, and moss growth inside HVAC ductwork far more aggressively than in drier cities. Our crews treat it that way. A typical residential ductwork cleaning in Everett runs $350 – $750 for a full system, with larger homes or heavily contaminated systems reaching $900 – $1,200.
Negative-Air Method with HEPA Filtration
We use Nikro negative-air machines to create suction throughout the duct system while Rotobrush agitation tools knock debris loose at the source. This pulls contaminants out through a sealed vacuum line rather than pushing them into your living space. In Everett’s damp climate, this matters because disturbed mold or moss spores will resettle and grow if not captured at the source.
Camera Inspection Before and After
We run video inspection on every Everett ductwork cleaning job. You see what is inside before we start, and you see the difference after we finish. No guesswork, no trust-me claims. Just the actual condition of your ducts, recorded and reviewable.
Trusted Brands We Service in Everett
Our Everett crews carry professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush and Nikro, and we stock filtration products from Aprilaire, Abatement Technologies, and Guardsman. These are the same tools and components used in commercial duct cleaning operations, not hardware-store attachments. For Everett homeowners, that means faster turnaround on filter upgrades, replacement media that fits your existing housing, and technicians who know how each brand’s specifications interact with older duct systems. When we recommend an Aprilaire media upgrade or a Guardsman UV treatment for a moss-prone Everett system, it is because we have seen that combination work in similar local homes.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Everett Homes
- Black grime baked into original riveted seams. In older Everett neighborhoods like Bayside, our tech opened original riveted sheet-metal supply and return ducts in a 1930s Everett home and found them never cleaned, coated in black grime mixed with evergreen pollen and moss spores. We ran camera inspection first, then negative pressure with HEPA filtration and agitation tools to pull the growth loose at the source, and finished with source removal on the air handler and blower motor before sealing the registers.
- Cross-contamination in shared apartment and condo stacks. Everett’s dense housing means many buildings share supply and return ductwork between units. Without negative pressure containment, cleaning one unit’s ducts can push spores and debris into neighboring units. We isolate each run before agitation begins.
- Dryer vent stacks skipped because they are hard to reach. Multifamily buildings in Everett often share dryer vent runs through stacked walls. These get ignored by crews focused only on visible HVAC ducts. Lint keeps building beyond the trap, creating the leading fire hazard in home laundry systems.
- Moss and algae regrowth from untreated humidity sources. Everett’s damp air means cleaned ducts can recontaminate quickly if the underlying moisture issue is not addressed. We flag standing water in condensate pans, blocked drainage, and exterior intake locations that pull in saturated air.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Everett, MA
A typical residential air duct cleaning in Everett runs $350 – $750 for a complete supply and return system. Larger homes, heavily contaminated systems from decades without cleaning, or jobs requiring extensive agitation for moss and biological growth can reach $900 – $1,200. Commercial duct cleaning for Everett’s apartment buildings, offices, and retail spaces is quoted per system after inspection.
What moves the price: the number of supply and return registers, accessibility of the main trunk lines, presence of biological contamination requiring extended HEPA filtration time, and whether dryer vent cleaning is bundled with the HVAC ductwork. We do not price per vent. We give one flat price per system, agreed in writing before any work starts. No add-ons at the door, no equipment fees that appear after we arrive.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Everett
Everett’s roughly 160 rainy days per year and dense evergreen canopy create a damp, mild environment where moss, algae, and mold colonize duct interiors aggressively. Duct cleaning here is biological decontamination, not just dust removal, because that growth restricts airflow, degrades air quality, and can spread spores through the entire system. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free inspection and exact quote.
We seal and isolate each duct run with negative pressure containment before starting agitation. This prevents debris from migrating into neighboring units’ ductwork or common areas. For shared dryer vent stacks, we clean the full run from the roof or exterior termination back to each connection point. Call (361) 326-5060 to discuss your building’s specific layout.
It affects our arrival planning, not your price. We coordinate parking and equipment staging before the appointment for Everett’s tighter streets near Broadway and in older neighborhoods with limited curb space. Our van carries everything needed on board, so we do not block traffic or occupy multiple spaces. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule; we’ll confirm access details when you book.
Original riveted sheet-metal systems with decades of accumulated debris, often including a distinctive black grime mixed with evergreen pollen and moss spores that is specific to Everett’s damp, forested environment. These systems lack the factory-sealed tightness of modern ductwork, so leaks at seams and joints are common. Camera inspection reveals the exact condition before we propose any work. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule.
Removing moss, mold, and accumulated debris restores designed airflow, which reduces the load on your blower motor and can lower energy bills. For Everett homeowners, the air quality improvement is measurable: less biological particulate circulating through living spaces, fewer musty odors, and reduced trigger load for respiratory sensitivity. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers our work for a full year. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
