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 Garland’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been in business since 2004, and our Air Duct Cleaning team operates under The Garrison Standard: written prices, written guarantees, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise that competitors rarely match in writing. Garland homeowners aren’t looking for the cheapest coupon in the mail. They’re looking for a crew that shows up uniformed, prices the job before touching anything, and leaves the site clean.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. You’ll know who’s walking into your home before they arrive. 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 for a human voice.
We know Garland’s housing stock because we’ve worked it. The 1950s – ’70s ranches with slab foundations and original galvanized duct. The 1980s – ’90s subdivisions with flex duct runs through hot attics. The post-hail roof replacements that leave shingle granules and debris sucked into return lines. This isn’t generic knowledge. It’s what we find on jobs in Garland, week after week.
Air Duct Repair in Garland
Air Duct Repair in Garland is often the real work hiding behind a cleaning request. Our techs open an attic hatch on a home near Walnut Street and find a flex duct run crushed by a roofing crew’s foot traffic, or a return chase disconnected where it passes through a truss bay. Cleaning a broken duct just blows debris into your attic or living space. We fix the mechanical failure first, then clean what remains.
Typical air duct repair in Garland runs $200 – $500 for individual run replacement or reconnection, and $800 – $1,800 for more extensive return chase rebuilding or multiple supply line repairs. Every repair gets a written price before we start, and everything we touch is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Post-Storm Damage Repair
After a major hail event, Garland homeowners often replace roofs and assume the job is done. But our crews regularly find flex duct punctured, disconnected, or packed with shingle granules and tar paper fragments. We inspect with a camera, document the damage, and repair before any cleaning begins. In one home near Firewheel Town Center, a return trunk had separated entirely at a flex collar – the homeowner’s “dirty air” problem was actually an open attic bypass pulling 140-degree air into the system.
Return Chase Sealing
Older slab-foundation ranches throughout Garland have return ducts routed through the hot attic with chase openings that were never properly sealed. We close those gaps with mastic and mechanical fasteners, then verify with a smoke pencil. Without this step, your new clean ducts re-contaminate within weeks.
Ductwork Cleaning in Garland
Ductwork Cleaning in Garland means more than pushing a brush through a tube. Our process starts with a video inspection so you see what we see: decades of accumulation in a downtown ranch’s galvanized return, or mold spotting in a north Garland flex run that sits in a humid attic from May through October. We match the method to the material – rotary brush agitation for metal duct, controlled negative-air for flex, HEPA-contained extraction for everything.
A typical whole-home ductwork cleaning in Garland runs $350 – $650 for residential systems, with commercial jobs priced by square footage and system complexity. We do not price per vent. One flat price per system, agreed in writing, before any equipment enters your home.
Video-Verified Cleaning
We run a camera before and after. You see the debris layer on the duct wall, then you see it gone. No guesswork, no trust-me language. In Garland’s older homes, we often find that the “dirty ducts” a homeowner called about are actually a symptom of disconnected runs or open chases – the cleaning reveals the real problem, and we quote the repair separately, in writing.
Negative-Air Method with HEPA Filtration
For flex duct systems common in Garland’s 1980s – ’90s subdivisions, we use a Nikro negative-air machine to create controlled suction at the trunk line while agitation tools loosen debris. A HEPA filter captures particles down to 0.3 microns. The duct isn’t just cleaner – the air leaving your registers is measurably different, verified with before-and-after photos we leave with you.
Trusted Brands We Service in Garland
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems for metal duct agitation, Nikro negative-air machines for flex duct extraction, and filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman. We stock common filter sizes and replacement components for Garland-area homes, so if your system needs a new filter cabinet or upgraded media after cleaning, we can often install same-visit. No waiting on a parts truck from Dallas. The Aprilaire filter cabinets we install are sized to Garland’s typical system static pressures, and we match MERV ratings to what your blower motor can actually handle – not what sounds impressive on a brochure.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Garland Homes
- Post-hail debris in attic duct runs. Garland sits in the heart of DFW’s “Hail Alley,” and after a major storm, roof replacement crews often crush or disconnect flex duct without knowing it. Shingle granules and tar paper dust get sucked into the system. We find this in homes from the Club Hill area to the neighborhoods near Lake Ray Hubbard.
- Open return chases on mid-century slab ranches. Garland’s older housing stock near downtown – the 1950s – ’70s ranches along Avenue B, Walnut, and surrounding streets – frequently has return ducts routed through the attic with gaps that pull in loose-fill insulation and attic dust year-round. Cleaning without sealing is temporary.
- Moisture-laden air promoting mold in flex duct. Garland’s humid subtropical climate means AC runs hard from May through October. Poorly sealed flex duct in hot attics condenses moisture on the inner liner, and mold growth follows. A camera inspection finds it; negative-air cleaning with antimicrobial treatment addresses it.
- Undersized returns and high static pressure. Many Garland homes, especially the older ranches, were built with return ducts too small for modern HVAC loads. The system runs longer, filters load faster, and dust bypasses the filter slot. We measure static pressure and recommend solutions that actually fix the root cause.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Garland, TX
Whole-home residential duct cleaning in Garland typically runs $350 – $650, depending on system size, duct material, and accessibility. A single-story ranch with eight metal supply runs and two returns sits at the lower end. A two-story home with fourteen flex runs, multiple trunk lines, and attic access challenges sits higher. Commercial systems are priced by square footage and HVAC zone count.
Air duct repair in Garland adds $200 – $500 for localized work – a reconnected flex collar, a sealed chase opening, a replaced section of crushed duct. Extensive return rebuilding or multiple run replacement runs $800 – $1,800. Dryer vent cleaning, often scheduled alongside duct cleaning, runs $120 – $200.
What affects your price: duct material (metal vs. flex), number of supply and return runs, attic accessibility, whether video inspection reveals damage requiring repair, and whether you add filtration upgrades. We do not bait with a low per-vent price and inflate at the door. The price is written down before any work starts, and it does not move. Call (361) 326-5060 for your free estimate.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Garland
Yes, if your roof replacement involved attic work, you likely need at least an inspection. Roofing crews walk attic trusses and often step on or disconnect flex duct without realizing it; shingle granules and tar paper dust also get pulled into return lines. We recommend a video inspection after any major roof work in Garland – the damage is common and cleaning alone won’t fix disconnected runs. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule.
Garland’s older slab-foundation ranches near downtown frequently have return chases routed through the hot attic with openings that were never sealed to the attic environment. Your blower pulls 140-degree attic air, loose-fill insulation fibers, and dust into the system every time it runs. Cleaning helps temporarily, but sealing the chase with mastic and mechanical fasteners is the permanent fix. We measure the leakage and show you the smoke-pencil evidence before quoting any work.
We use rotary brush agitation for metal duct and controlled negative-air extraction for flex systems, with HEPA filtration on the collection side. Verification comes from before-and-after video inspection – you see the debris layer, then you see the clean surface. We also photograph register openings and blower compartments. In Garland’s humid climate, we pay special attention to mold-prone flex liners and document any microbial growth we find.
For most Garland systems, MERV 8 – 11 strikes the right balance between particle capture and airflow. MERV 13 sounds better on paper but can overload older blower motors, especially in the 1950s – ’70s ranches with undersized returns. We measure your system’s static pressure and recommend a filter that cleans the air without choking the equipment. If you want higher filtration, we can install an Aprilaire media cabinet sized to your actual blower capacity.
Duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning are separate services, though we often schedule them together. Your HVAC ductwork doesn’t connect to your dryer vent. However, lint buildup in a dryer vent is a genuine fire hazard, especially in Garland’s older homes where vents may run through hot attics or long horizontal routes. We offer dryer vent cleaning as an add-on, with a written price and the same 365-Day Done Right Promise. Call (361) 326-5060 to bundle both services.
