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.

We’ve been cleaning ducts in Hutto long enough to know the two stories this town tells: brand-new subdivisions with flex duct full of construction debris, and older ranch homes near downtown with original metal runs that haven’t been touched in decades. Both need different approaches. Both get the same standard from us – written price, written guarantee, work done by the book. That’s The Garrison Standard.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Hutto’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Hutto homeowners call us back because we show them what we found. Not a verbal report – photos of the inside of their ducts, the debris load, the disconnected collars, the crushed runs. Our Air Duct Cleaning team documents every job. If a technician finds drywall dust caked in a two-year-old system in Cross Creek, the homeowner sees it. If an original 1970s metal trunk in Old Town Hutto is leaking at every joint, we show the gaps before we seal them.
Roy Castellanos built this operation on a simple idea: the price you agree to is the price you pay. No per-vent add-ons, no “discovered problems” once the van is in your driveway. Every Hollis technician in Hutto is background-checked, uniformed, and expected to arrive inside the quoted window, leave the site clean, and stand behind the work for 365 days. If it fails, we come back at no charge. That’s not a slogan – it’s written on every job.
Phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No callback queues. No “press 4 for scheduling.” When you’re ready to book in Hutto, you talk to a human who can see the calendar.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Hutto
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Hutto means source-removing dust, debris, and microbial growth from your entire duct network – supply trunks, return plenums, branch lines, and the air handler cabinet – using negative-air containment and mechanical agitation, not just a vacuum hose waved at a register. In Hutto’s market, a typical whole-home residential clean runs $350 – $650 for a single system, with larger homes or multiple zones running toward the higher end. Older homes near downtown Hutto often need duct sealing added to the scope; newer homes in Star Ranch or Highland Estates frequently need construction debris removal that goes deeper than a surface clean.
What We Find in Hutto’s Older Homes
Original rigid metal ducts from the 1960s and 1970s near downtown Hutto are often undersized for modern HVAC loads and leaking at every joint and seam. We’ve pulled covers off return plenums in these homes and found them drawing attic air through gaps you could slide a pencil through. A clean without sealing just re-contaminates the system the next time the blower cycles. We price sealing separately, in writing, before we start.
New Construction, Old Problems
Hutto’s builder-grade neighborhoods – Star Ranch, Highland Estates, Cross Creek – routinely have drywall dust and construction debris coating the inside of brand-new flex duct and the blower motor because builders rarely cap registers during construction. Our first deep clean on a 1 – 2 year old Hutto home often removes more construction debris than a decade of accumulation would in an older ranch house near downtown. We set the space under negative pressure, run agitation tools and HEPA filtration through the whole trunk, and document before-and-after photos the homeowner keeps.
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Hutto
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Hutto covers office buildings, retail spaces, medical clinics, schools, and multi-tenant properties where code compliance, occupancy health, and HVAC efficiency intersect. Typical commercial jobs in the Hutto area run $800 – $2,400 depending on system count, square footage, and access complexity. We work after hours and weekends to avoid disrupting operations, and we coordinate with property managers in Hutto’s growing commercial corridors along Highway 79 and the 130 toll corridor.
Code Compliance and Documentation
Commercial properties in Hutto need cleaning records that satisfy insurers, inspectors, and facility managers. We provide written scope, photo documentation, and post-clean verification. Our Nikro negative-air machines maintain containment during the job, and we use Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration to protect occupied spaces adjacent to the work zone.
Multi-System Properties
Many Hutto commercial buildings installed in the 2010s – 2020s construction wave run multiple rooftop units with separate duct networks. We map each system, clean sequentially, and flag cross-contamination risks between zones. Pricing is per system, agreed in writing before we touch the first unit.
Trusted Brands We Service in Hutto
We clean and service ductwork connected to all major HVAC brands, and we stock filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies for Hutto customers who want to upgrade their particle capture after a deep clean. Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems for mechanical agitation inside duct runs, Nikro negative-air machines for source containment, and Guardsman filtration products for post-clean protection. If your Hutto home needs a media filter upgrade after we remove the construction debris or decades of accumulation, we carry the cabinet and filter on the van. No second trip, no waiting on parts.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Hutto Homes
- Drywall dust baked into new flex duct. In Hutto’s 1 – 5 year old homes, we regularly find flex supply and return lines caked with fine Central Texas clay particulate and drywall dust because builders skipped register capping during construction. A shop vac at the register pushes this deeper; our negative-air method source-removes it.
- Undersized, leaky metal ducts in older homes. Original rigid ductwork near downtown Hutto often lacks the capacity for modern cooling loads and pulls attic or crawlspace air through unsealed joints. Cleaning helps, but sealing is what stops re-contamination.
- Crushed or disconnected flex runs in attics. Hutto’s newer tract homes with flexible ductwork often have runs pinched behind joists or pulled tight around framing, restricting airflow and creating debris traps. We document these, show the homeowner, and recommend repair.
- Microbial growth from condensation cycles. Hutto’s May – September humidity plus occasional winter freeze events creates condensation in poorly sealed ducts, especially where flex meets metal collars. Cleaning removes the growth; sealing stops the moisture that feeds it.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Hutto
Because builders rarely cap registers during construction, so drywall dust, fine Central Texas clay, and wood particulate get pulled directly into your new flex duct and blower motor. In Highland Estates we pulled a 2-year-old builder-grade system apart and found the flex supply and return ducts caked with drywall dust and fine Central Texas clay particulate, with one crushed run pinched behind a joist and a disconnected collar at the air handler dumping air into the attic; we set the space under negative pressure, ran agitation tools and HEPA filtration through the whole trunk, re-sealed the collar, and the homeowner immediately noticed stronger airflow at the registers and less dust settling on the furniture. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Original metal ductwork can be cleaned and sealed successfully if it’s structurally intact; replacement is only necessary if the metal is corroded through or the system is fundamentally undersized for your current HVAC load. We inspect first, show you photos, and price both options in writing. Most downtown Hutto ranch homes we see benefit from cleaning plus sealing at the joints and plenum connections. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule an inspection.
Every 3 – 5 years for most Hutto homes, but new construction should be cleaned within the first 12 – 24 months to remove construction debris before it compacts. Homes with pets, allergy-sensitive residents, or visible dust accumulation may need more frequent service. Hutto’s long cooling season from May through September pushes more air volume through the system annually than in milder climates, so debris accumulates faster. Call (361) 326-5060 to discuss your specific situation.
Yes – NADCA ACR, the Assessment, Cleaning, and Restoration standard, requires source removal (not just vacuuming registers), mechanical agitation of debris, negative-air containment to prevent recontamination of the home, and post-clean verification. For your Hutto home, this means we don’t leave until we’ve shown you the inside of your clean ducts and documented the work. Anything less is surface cleaning, not source removal. Call (361) 326-5060 for details.
Yes, but only if it’s done with negative-air containment and mechanical agitation, not a shop vac. Hutto’s newer subdivisions have construction debris baked into brand-new flex duct that a surface clean will push deeper. Our rotary brush systems and HEPA-filtered negative-air machines source-remove this debris without contaminating your living space. We see this in Star Ranch, Highland Estates, and Cross Creek regularly. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
