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 Kendale Lakes’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been in business since 2004 as part of the Garrison Partners family, and our Kendale Lakes customers know what to expect: a uniformed, background-checked technician who arrives inside the quoted window, prices the job in writing before touching a register, and leaves the site clean. The Garrison Standard requires exactly that.
Our phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No voicemail loops. No callback queues. You call, you talk to someone who can book your Kendale Lakes appointment.
Every job carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If the work fails within a year, we come back and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. That promise applies to every Kendale Lakes home we service, from the original ranches near SW 137th Avenue to the condo clusters along Kendall Drive.
We know these houses because they’re nearly identical. Same plan, same duct failure points, same mineral-heavy supply air leaving scale on the coil. A technician who has cleaned one Kendale Lakes subdivision ranch can walk into the next one and already know where the problems hide.
Ductwork Cleaning in Kendale Lakes
Ductwork Cleaning in Kendale Lakes means pulling the accumulated dust, lint, and mineral-scale residue from every supply and return duct in a home where the HVAC system has been running nearly nonstop since the 1970s or 1980s. The job takes 3 – 5 hours for a typical single-story ranch and costs $350 – $550 for a full system, depending on duct count, accessibility, and whether the air handler coil and blower need attention. We use Rotobrush rotary brush systems for contact agitation on original flex runs, paired with Nikro negative-air machines that keep dislodged debris contained under HEPA filtration. In Kendale Lakes, skipping the return plenum or the damp evaporator coil is where most “blow-and-go” vendors fall short – we don’t.
What Gets Cleaned and Why It Matters
We clean every supply branch, every return trunk, the plenum, the coil, and the blower motor housing. In Kendale Lakes, the mineral-heavy supply air bakes scale onto the coil and blower wheel; if those stay dirty, your ducts recontaminate within weeks. We camera-inspect the trunk line to verify the work.
When Your Ducts Actually Need It
Original 1970s – 80s systems in Kendale Lakes load faster than the generic “every 3 – 5 years” advice suggests. Visible dust on registers, musty smells after a thunderstorm power blip, or your air handler short-cycling on a clogged return are real signals. We don’t push unnecessary cleanings; we show you the camera footage and let you decide.
Air Duct Inspection in Kendale Lakes
Air Duct Inspection in Kendale Lakes starts with a video scope of your duct interior, the coil, and the blower assembly – the exact spots where this area’s mineral-scale dust and humidity-driven microbial growth concentrate. An inspection runs $150 – $250 and takes about an hour; we feed you the live feed as we work so you see what we see. No guesswork, no scare tactics. For Kendale Lakes homes with original or once-replaced attic-mounted air handlers, the inspection often reveals crushed flex at the truss line, disconnected collars from decades of vibration, or scale buildup that explains why the system can’t keep up in July. You get a written report with photos and a flat-price quote for any cleaning or sealing work.
What the Camera Reveals
We use video inspection to document duct condition before any work starts. In Kendale Lakes, we regularly find lint wadded at flex-to-sheet-metal collars and mineral powder lining return plenums – problems a surface glance misses entirely. The footage becomes your baseline for deciding what to do and when.
Inspection Before Additions or Conversions
Many Kendale Lakes ranches have had garages converted or rooms added, disrupting the original duct design. An inspection maps whether your system can handle the new load or if you’re dumping conditioned air into an unbalanced layout. We flag it. You decide the fix.
Trusted Brands We Service in Kendale Lakes
We stock parts and filtration products from Aprilaire, Abatement Technologies, and Guardsman – brands that hold up in South Florida’s constant runtime and humidity. Our Rotobrush and Nikro equipment is the same gear commercial crews use, not hardware-store attachments. For Kendale Lakes homeowners with older air handlers, we carry Honeywell and Aprilaire filters in common sizes so you’re not waiting on a warehouse shipment. If your system needs a component we don’t have on the van, our Miami office coordinates fast local pickup. No phantom “we’ll order that” delays.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Kendale Lakes Homes
- Tear-out cleaning that skips the coil and plenum. A vendor vacuums the registers and calls it done, leaving the mineral-scale residue and biological film on your evaporator coil to recontaminate everything. We see this constantly in Kendale Lakes, where the previous cleaner’s work lasted maybe a month.
- One-pass vacuuming without agitation tools. Original 1970s flex runs in these ranches have packed lint and hardened dust that only a rotary brush contact agitator can break free. Suction alone just moves surface debris around.
- No negative pressure containment. Without HEPA-filtered negative air, dislodged dust re-enters your living space through open registers. We’ve had Kendale Lakes customers call us after a “cleaning” left more debris on furniture than before.
- Ignoring post-storm mustiness. Afternoon sea-breeze thunderstorms knock power out mid-cycle, leaving a wet coil and damp duct interiors. In a closed-up Kendale Lakes house, that smell starts within a day or two. Duct and coil cleaning, not just air freshener, fixes it.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Kendale Lakes
Every 2 – 3 years for these original systems, sooner if you see dust returning quickly or smell mustiness after summer storms. The year-round runtime and mineral-heavy supply air load ducts faster than the generic “every 3 – 5 years” guidance accounts for. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll inspect before recommending a schedule.
The previous cleaner probably skipped the return plenum, evaporator coil, or blower housing – the exact spots where Kendale Lakes’ mineral-scale residue concentrates. We clean the full system and camera-verify; if dust returns fast, something upstream is still dirty. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers a free return if it fails.
Yes, and we often do. Additions and converted garages in these ranches frequently disrupt the original duct balance, creating dead zones or overpressured rooms. We inspect the modified layout first, then clean and advise whether duct sealing or rerouting is needed. One flat price, written before we start.
MERV 8 – 11 for most original air handlers here; higher MERV restricts airflow and can strain an aging blower motor. We stock Aprilaire and Honeywell filters in common sizes and check your system’s static pressure before recommending a change. The wrong filter costs more in motor wear than it saves in dust.
If you smell mustiness within a day or two, yes – the wet coil and damp duct interiors need cleaning and drying, not just running the fan. We see this constantly in Kendale Lakes after afternoon sea-breeze blips. Call (361) 326-5060; we’ll inspect and quote a flat price for coil and duct cleaning if it’s needed.
