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 Kemah
Air duct cleaning in Kemah typically runs $350 – $650 for a full residential system and is scheduled within a few business days, with our dispatch team coordinating from the Dallas-Fort Worth office and local crews covering the Kemah area directly. If you’re noticing musty airflow, dust settling faster than it should, or your HVAC system working harder through the humid months, you’re dealing with what we see in Kemah homes every week.
We’re familiar with the specific challenges here. The salt-laden Gulf air that blows across Galveston Bay doesn’t just rust your patio furniture; it gets into your ductwork, corrodes components, and creates a stubborn buildup that standard inland cleaning methods don’t fully address. Our Air Duct Cleaning team has worked in the elevated homes along Kipp Avenue, the mid-century cottages near Kemah Boardwalk, and the newer stilted construction throughout the city. We know what to expect when we open a vent in this zip code. Call us at (361) 326-5060 to schedule a free estimate.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Kemah’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Hollis Air Duct Cleaning has been part of the Garrison Partners family since 2004, and that track record matters in a market where fly-by-night operators come and go with the seasons. Kemah homeowners have learned to ask hard questions about who’s actually walking through their door.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and you’ll know who’s arriving before they pull up. That’s The Garrison Code in action: arrive inside the quoted window, price the job in writing before touching anything, complete the work by the book, and leave the site clean. No exceptions.
Phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No voicemail loops, no callback queues, no waiting until Monday morning to get on the schedule.
Every job carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If the work fails within a year, we return and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. That guarantee is backed by a company that’s been around long enough to honor it.
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Kemah
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Kemah cover the complete removal of dust, debris, microbial growth, and salt-corrosive buildup from your entire forced-air system. A typical residential full-system cleaning in Kemah runs $350 – $650, with commercial systems starting around $800 depending on square footage and accessibility. Most Kemah homeowners schedule this every 3 – 5 years, though the constant humidity and salt fog from Galveston Bay often push that toward the shorter end.
Residential System Cleaning
We clean supply ducts, return ducts, registers, grilles, and the air handler itself using a Rotobrush rotary brush system paired with negative-air containment. For Kemah’s elevated homes on pilings, we’re equipped to access under-floor duct runs that many crews skip or don’t know how to reach safely.

Video Inspection and Documentation
Before we start and after we finish, we run a camera through your system so you see exactly what was there and what we removed. In Kemah’s older bayfront neighborhoods, this often reveals accelerated rust patterns from salt spray that homeowners didn’t know existed.

HVAC Duct Cleaning in Kemah
HVAC Duct Cleaning in Kemah addresses the full heating, ventilation, and air conditioning pathway that moves conditioned air through your home. Because Kemah’s humid subtropical climate keeps humidity high year-round, dust adheres more stubbornly to duct walls and mold finds favorable conditions in dark, moist cavities. A typical HVAC duct cleaning for Kemah homes runs $350 – $650, with pricing established in writing before any work begins.
Negative-Air Method with HEPA Filtration
We use Nikro negative-air machines that create suction throughout the system while agitating debris with mechanical brushes. This prevents contaminated air from escaping into your living space during cleaning, critical in Kemah homes where occupants may already be managing allergy or respiratory sensitivity.
Post-Cleaning Corrosion Treatment
Given Kemah’s unique salt-air environment, we apply corrosion-resistant treatments to accessible metal components after cleaning. This step doesn’t appear on standard inland job sheets, but we’ve learned it’s necessary here to protect the investment you just made in clean ducts.
Trusted Brands We Service in Kemah
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems, Nikro negative-air machines, and filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, Abatement Technologies, and Guardsman. These are the same tools and components commercial crews rely on, not hardware-store gear, and we stock common replacement parts so Kemah customers aren’t waiting on shipping when a filter or connector needs swapping. Our technicians can explain what each piece of equipment does and why we selected it for your specific system, in plain terms, before any work starts.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Kemah Homes
- Salt-corroded duct seams and registers. In Kemah’s older bayfront neighborhoods near the Boardwalk, we regularly find accelerated rust and corrosion from salt spray carried by prevailing southeast winds. This pattern rarely appears even a few miles inland in League City or Dickinson, and it requires corrosion-resistant materials and post-cleaning treatments that standard jobs don’t include.
- Stubborn dust adhesion from constant humidity. Kemah’s year-round high humidity causes dust particles to cling to duct walls more tenaciously than in drier climates. Our rotary brush systems and negative-air methods are specifically selected to break this bond and extract it completely.
- Mold and mildew in original flexible ductwork. Much of Kemah’s housing stock consists of mid-century cottages with original galvanized or deteriorating flexible ductwork. The combination of age, salt air, and humidity creates ideal conditions for microbial growth that homeowners smell before they see.
- Accessible but neglected under-floor runs. Elevated coastal homes built on pilings often have crawlspaces and under-floor duct runs exposed directly to salt air. These sections are frequently overlooked by crews unfamiliar with Kemah’s construction patterns, yet they can be the dirtiest part of the system.
