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.
Fast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Forney
Air duct cleaning in Forney typically runs $350 – $650 for a complete residential system and is usually scheduled within a few business days. Most Forney homes need attention sooner than owners expect, because new construction here leaves more debris in ducts than decades of living would.
We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and we’ve been serving the Dallas-Fort Worth metro since 2004. Our crews work Forney regularly, from the Travis Ranch subdivisions off FM 548 to the newer builds near Windmill Farms and the expanding corridors along US 80. We dispatch and schedule from our DFW office, but the trucks that roll to Forney carry the same Rotobrush rotary systems and Nikro negative-air machines we use on commercial jobs across North Texas. When you call (361) 326-5060, a live person answers, day or night. No voicemail loops. No callback queues.
Forney’s different from older towns nearby. The housing stock here is overwhelmingly new, built in the 2000s and 2010s and still growing. That means the duct problems we find aren’t the layered grime of a 1970s ranch house. They’re drywall dust, sawdust, and PVC shavings left behind by builders who never cleaned the system before handover. And because Forney builders favor flexible duct runs through attics rather than old galvanized hard pipe, we also find runs pinched against trusses or disconnected at boots from rushed installation. We know what to look for because we’ve opened enough registers in this town to recognize the pattern.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Forney’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve built our reputation in Forney on showing up inside the window, pricing in writing before we touch anything, and leaving the site clean. That’s The Garrison Standard, and it applies to every job we run here.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. You know who’s walking into your home before they arrive. We don’t send day laborers or subcontractors. The same crew that quotes the job does the work, and they carry photo ID with the Hollis name.

That includes a free second visit. We put it in writing on every job, not as a verbal assurance that evaporates once the truck leaves your driveway.
Calls to (361) 326-5060 are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Forney homeowners aren’t left waiting until Monday morning to schedule.
Air Duct Inspection in Forney
Air Duct Inspection in Forney is the right starting point for any homeowner who suspects their system isn’t performing as designed, especially in newer construction where the problem is often installation debris rather than age-related buildup. Our inspection runs $150 – $250 and includes a full camera pass through the supply and return trunks, register-level photography, and a written report with findings and recommendations. In Forney’s master-planned subdivisions, we recommend an inspection before the builder’s one-year warranty expires, because documentation of construction debris or crushed flex runs can support a warranty claim.
What the Camera Reveals
We feed a high-resolution camera through the ductwork to locate construction debris, moisture staining, and mechanical damage. In Forney homes, we regularly document drywall dust layers on the supply side and pollen loading on the return after spring cedar season. The camera doesn’t guess. It shows you exactly what’s moving through your air handler.
Attic Flex Run Assessment
Because Forney’s post-2000 housing stock routes flexible duct through attics, our inspection includes a physical check of every run. We look for crush points where straps pinch the flex against trusses, disconnections at boots, and sagging that creates low spots where humidity pools. These are installation defects, not wear-and-tear, and they’re common enough in Forney new builds that we check systematically.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Forney
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Forney addresses the specific contamination profile of this market: construction debris in newer homes, pollen loading during North Texas spring, and humidity-related microbial growth in attic flex runs. A typical whole-system cleaning for a Forney single-family home runs $350 – $650 depending on system size, number of registers, and contamination level. We use a written price agreed before work starts, with no per-vent add-ons or equipment surcharges at the door.
Source Removal for New Construction Debris
Our process combines negative-air containment with mechanical agitation. A Nikro negative-air machine creates suction at the air handler while Rotobrush rotary brushes dislodge debris from duct walls. This matters in Forney because construction dust is fine and settles deep in flex duct corrugations. Blowing without containment just redistributes it through your living space. We remove it at the source and capture it in HEPA filtration.
Return Side Deep Cleaning
The return side pulls air from your home back to the air handler, and in Forney it works hardest during summer when AC runtime peaks and spring when cedar pollen loads the filters. We clean the return trunk, drop boxes, and filter rack, then document with before-and-after photos. You’ll see what was in your system. No guesswork.
Trusted Brands We Service in Forney
Our Forney crews carry parts and filtration products from Aprilaire, Abatement Technologies, and Guardsman, plus professional-grade cleaning equipment from Rotobrush and Nikro. We don’t use hardware-store shop vacs or consumer-grade tools. The Aprilaire media filters we stock are the same units specified in many Forney new builds, and we keep common sizes on the truck to avoid a second trip. When a homeowner in Windmill Farms or Travis Ranch needs a filter upgrade after cleaning, we can typically install same-visit. The equipment roster matters because duct cleaning without proper negative-air containment and HEPA capture is worse than no cleaning at all. We use the tools commercial crews rely on, and we explain what each one does while we’re in your home.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Forney Homes
- Builder-grade flex runs pinched or crushed in attics. In Forney’s post-2000 subdivisions, flexible duct is strapped against trusses or compressed by insulation installers, restricting airflow to entire zones. We find this in roughly one of three new-build inspections. The fix requires reconnecting or replacing the run, not just cleaning around it.
- Drywall dust and sawdust throughout new systems. Construction crews in Forney’s fast-building market rarely clean ducts before final walkthrough. We routinely pull out fine dust that has settled through supply branches and into the air handler, where it recirculates through blower motors and coils.
- Disconnected boots at register terminations. Rushed original installation in Forney’s boom-era construction leaves boots unsealed or fully detached, dumping conditioned air into attics and wall cavities. Homeowners notice hot rooms or high bills before they realize where the air is going.
- Pollen and cedar loading on low-MERV return filters. Forney’s spring cedar season is severe, and builder-original filters are often MERV 4 or lower. The return side packs with debris, restricting airflow and forcing the system to work harder through July and August humidity.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Forney, TX
A typical whole-system residential duct cleaning in Forney runs $350 – $650. System size is the main variable: a 2,000-square-foot home with 12 – 15 registers falls at the lower end, while larger homes in the Windmill Farms or Devonshire areas with 20-plus registers and multiple zones trend higher. Commercial systems and multi-unit buildings are priced separately after site review.
What affects your specific cost:
- Number of supply and return registers
- Accessibility of attic duct runs
- Presence of construction debris requiring extended agitation time
- Need for boot reconnection or minor flex repair
- Video documentation for warranty purposes
We give one flat price per system, agreed in writing before work starts. No per-vent pricing. No equipment surcharges at the door. No bait-and-switch. If we find a crushed flex run that needs repair beyond standard cleaning, we’ll show you the camera footage and quote the repair separately. You approve it or decline it. The price doesn’t move after that.
Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate. We’ll ask about your home’s square footage, register count, and any symptoms you’ve noticed, then give you a range you can plan around.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Forney
Yes, very possibly. New construction in Forney typically leaves drywall dust, sawdust, and PVC shavings in the duct system that the builder never removed. We’ve cleaned 2023 and 2024 homes in Travis Ranch and Windmill Farms that had visible construction debris throughout the supply branches before the owners’ first anniversary. Call (361) 326-5060 for an inspection and exact quote – estimates are free.
Forney’s housing boom from the 2000s through the 2020s relied heavily on flexible duct routed through attics, installed quickly by crews working to production schedules. The flexible material is easily pinched by over-tight straps or compressed by subsequent insulation work, and boots at register terminations are sometimes never fully connected. These are installation defects, not age-related wear, and they’re common enough in Forney that we check every run. Call (361) 326-5060 for an inspection and exact quote – estimates are free.
NADCA, the National Air Duct Cleaners Association, sets the industry standard for source removal: mechanical agitation of duct surfaces combined with negative-air extraction so debris leaves the system rather than resettling. For Forney homes, this matters because construction dust is fine and requires proper containment. We follow NADCA guidelines on every job, and we document our process with before-and-after photos for your records. Call (361) 326-5060 for an inspection and exact quote – estimates are free.
Forney sits in the North Texas Blackland Prairie where July and August push 100°F with high humidity. Your air conditioner runs constantly, pulling attic heat through any gap in flex duct seams or crushed runs. That thermal load makes the system work harder, and humidity in attic low spots can support microbial growth on dust deposits. Cleaning removes the debris that holds moisture, and inspection finds the gaps that let attic air in. Call (361) 326-5060 for an inspection and exact quote – estimates are free.
It can. Forney’s new-home warranties typically cover defects in materials and workmanship for one year, and documented construction debris or installation defects in the duct system can support a claim. Our inspection includes written findings and photographs. We’ve provided documentation for homeowners in Forney pursuing warranty remedies with their builders. The key is getting the inspection before the warranty period expires. Call (361) 326-5060 for an inspection and exact quote – estimates are free.
