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.

Kendall sprawls across western Miami-Dade from the Hammocks to Pinecrest’s edge, and we’ve been driving these roads long enough to know which subdivisions built up in the 1980s and 1990s are dealing with original flex duct that’s finally giving out. Our crews serve Kendall directly, not from some warehouse two counties away. That matters when you’re scheduling around work, kids, and the reality that your AC has been running since March and won’t stop until December.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Kendall’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve built our reputation in Kendall on showing up inside the window, pricing in writing, and leaving the site clean. That’s The Garrison Standard, and it’s how every Hollis location operates, including ours here in South Florida.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. You know who’s walking into your home before they arrive. The price we write down before any work starts is the price you pay. It does not move at the door. And every job carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the work fails within a year, we come back and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit.
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 to schedule.
We use professional-grade equipment: Rotobrush rotary brush systems, Nikro negative-air machines, and filtration products from Honeywell and Aprilaire. These are the same tools commercial crews use, not hardware-store gear. We explain what each does and why it matters for the air moving through your home.
Air Duct Repair in Kendall
Air Duct Repair in Kendall often means dealing with original flex duct from the 1980s through early 2000s that’s sagging, torn, or growing mold-like material in 140°F attics. A typical repair job in Kendall runs $350 – $800 depending on how many runs need replacement and whether the air handler plenum itself is compromised. We always inspect with a camera before quoting, so you see what we see.
Collapsed Return Runs
Return ducts in Kendall attics often collapse where flex duct was pulled tight across trusses with inadequate support. The duct kinks, airflow drops, and the system pulls unconditioned attic air through gaps. We replace the collapsed section with properly supported duct and seal the plenum connection with mastic, not tape that’ll dry out in six months.
Wet Duct Syndrome Damage
When the outer jacket on old flex duct tears, condensation soaks the insulation layer and the duct sags under its own weight. Cleaning alone won’t fix this. We remove the damaged runs, replace with new R-8 insulated flex duct with intact vapor barrier, and verify with post-repair camera inspection that the system is sealed and drawing properly.
Ductwork Cleaning in Kendall
Ductwork Cleaning in Kendall means source removal from supply and return runs that have been collecting dust, pollen, and moisture for years in a climate where the AC runs 9 – 10 months straight. A typical whole-system cleaning in Kendall runs $400 – $900 for a single-system home, with multi-system homes priced per air handler. We use the Nikro negative-air method: a large vacuum draws continuous negative pressure on the duct system while Rotobrush agitation tools knock debris loose at the source.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply runs push conditioned air into your rooms. In Kendall, these often show mold-like staining on the diffuser registers and dust buildup where flex duct sags and creates low-velocity zones. We clean each supply run individually, brush-agitate the full length, and capture debris with HEPA filtration. No debris escapes into your living space.
Return Duct and Air Handler Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the handler, and they’re often the dirtiest part of the system because they’re upstream of the filter. We clean return trunks, plenums, and the air handler cabinet itself. In Kendall’s humidity, the evaporator coil and drain pan need visual inspection too; we flag any biological growth or drainage issues we find.
Trusted Brands We Service in Kendall
We stock parts and filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies for Kendall customers, which means faster turnaround on repairs and replacements without waiting on warehouse shipments from out of state. Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems for mechanical agitation, Nikro negative-air machines for containment, and Guardsman filtration products for post-cleaning air quality protection. When your system needs a new filter housing, UV light, or upgraded media, we install what fits your equipment and your home’s airflow requirements, not whatever’s on the truck that day.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Kendall Homes
- Wet duct syndrome in 1990s-era homes. The outer jacket on original flex duct tears in Kendall’s 140°F attics, condensation drips into insulation, and the duct sags and grows mold. Cleaning without replacing the damaged runs just redistributes moisture and microbial growth.
- Multi-system homes quoted as single-system jobs. Many Kendall homes built in the 1980s and 1990s have two or three AC systems with long flex runs to second-story rooms. A per-vent teaser price never covers the actual scope. We price per system, agreed in writing before work starts.
- Skipped camera inspection because attic access is tight. Some crews avoid crawling Kendall’s hot attics and just vacuum the registers. We inspect with video before and after, so you have documentation of work you cannot see.
- Rodent intrusion in low-rise condos near the Hammocks. Roof rats and mice enter duct systems through gaps in exterior wall penetrations, leaving droppings and debris. We remove contaminated material, seal entry points with metal flashing, and recommend replacement of heavily soiled runs.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Kendall, FL
A typical residential duct cleaning in Kendall runs $400 – $900 for a complete single-system job, including supply and return runs, air handler cabinet, and register covers. Multi-system homes common in Kendall’s larger subdivisions are priced per air handler, typically $350 – $650 per additional system. Duct repair or partial replacement adds $350 – $800 depending on linear footage and access difficulty.
What moves the price: number of systems, linear footage of ductwork, accessibility (crawlspace vs. attic), and whether we find wet duct syndrome or rodent damage requiring replacement rather than cleaning. We inspect with a camera first, show you the footage, and write the price down before any work starts. One flat price per system. No per-vent add-ons. No price change at the door.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Kendall
Most Kendall homes need duct cleaning every 3 – 5 years because the near-continuous AC runtime and 70 – 90% relative humidity accelerate dust and microbial buildup. Homes with original 1980s – 2000s flex duct, multiple pets, or residents with allergies may need service every 2 – 3 years. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll inspect with a camera to tell you where your system stands.
Each AC system has its own air handler, supply runs, and return runs that must be cleaned and inspected separately. A three-system Kendall home has three times the duct footage, three filter locations, and three plenum connections to seal. We price per system so you know exactly what each costs before work starts, with no surprise add-ons when the technician sees the second attic access. Call (361) 326-5060 for a per-system quote.
Wet duct syndrome happens when the outer vapor barrier on flex duct tears in extreme attic heat, allowing condensation to soak the insulation layer and causing the duct to sag and grow mold. It’s common in Kendall because original R-4 and R-6 flex duct from the 1980s – 2000s degrades in 140°F attics, and the AC runs so continuously that temperature differentials stay high. Cleaning alone won’t fix it; torn, saturated runs need replacement. We inspect for this on every Kendall job and show you camera footage before quoting repair versus cleaning.
Sometimes, but only if the outer jacket is intact and the duct maintains its structural shape. In a 1990s two-story home near Kendall Drive, our tech found the original flex duct in the attic sagging with torn outer jackets and visible mold-like growth on the supply runs. We used a Rotobrush agitation tool and HEPA filtration under negative pressure to remove the contaminated material, then replaced two collapsed return runs and sealed the air handler. After cleaning, the homeowner reported better airflow and no more musty odor in the bedrooms. We always inspect first and explain what can be cleaned versus what must be replaced.
We video-record the interior of your duct system before and after cleaning, and we show you the footage. You see the debris, staining, or damage we found on arrival, and you see the clean duct surface after source removal. For multi-system homes in Kendall’s larger subdivisions, we document each air handler separately. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers our work in writing: if airflow doesn’t improve or odors return, we come back at no charge. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule an inspection with full documentation.
