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.

AfterFast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Kenmore
Air duct cleaning in Kenmore, NY typically runs $350 – $650 for a full residential system and $800 – $2,400 for commercial buildings, with most jobs completed in a single scheduled visit. Our Air Duct Cleaning crew serves Kenmore from our New York City dispatch office, with background-checked, uniformed technicians who arrive inside the quoted window and leave the price in writing before any equipment touches your ductwork.
Kenmore’s housing stock tells a specific story. The 1950s-1970s ranch-style and split-level homes that dominate this market, many clustered along the Sammamish River corridor and off corridors like NE 180th St, carry original galvanized steel ducts that have now been in service for 50-70 years. That metal corrodes. It flakes. And when those same supply and return runs route through crawlspaces, river fog and rodent activity accelerate the damage in ways hillside neighborhoods with sealed slabs or newer flex duct rarely experience. We know the difference because we’ve cleaned both.

Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Kenmore’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Hollis Air Duct Cleaning has been part of the Garrison Partners family since 2004. We operate under The Garrison Standard: written prices, written guarantees, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise that competitors in this trade rarely match in writing. In Kenmore, that standard matters more than usual because the work is harder. Older galvanized systems demand agitation tools, negative-air containment, and technicians who understand mid-century duct layouts, not rookies with a shop vacuum.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. You know who is walking into your home before they arrive. The price we write down before work starts is the price you pay. If the work fails within a year, we return and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. No negotiation, no runaround.
We’ve built our reputation in Kenmore on operational specifics, not adjectives. Arrive inside the window. Price in writing. Complete the job by the book. Leave the site clean. That’s The Garrison Code, and it’s how every technician is expected to behave on every job.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Kenmore
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Kenmore addresses the specific deterioration patterns of this city’s mid-century housing stock: corroded galvanized steel, disconnected crawlspace joints, and debris accumulation that standard maintenance won’t reach. A typical full-system residential cleaning in Kenmore runs $350 – $650, depending on system size, accessibility, and contamination level. Homes near the Sammamish River with crawlspace duct runs often sit at the higher end due to additional labor and HEPA containment requirements.
Supply and Return Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts push conditioned air into your rooms; return ducts pull it back. In Kenmore’s 1960s-70s homes, both sides are often original galvanized steel with decades of rust flaking and packed debris. We separate the two systems, clean each with rotary brush agitation and negative-air extraction, then verify flow balance before reconnection.
Video Inspection Before and After
Our technicians run a camera through your ductwork before starting and after finishing. You see what we see: the rust scale, the rodent debris, the disconnected joint pulling crawlspace air into your supply. After cleaning, you see clean metal and sealed penetrations. The footage belongs to you.
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Kenmore
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Kenmore covers retail spaces, office buildings, restaurants, and multi-unit properties where occupancy loads, cooking particulates, and HVAC runtime exceed residential standards. Typical commercial projects in the Kenmore area range from $800 for a small retail suite to $2,400 for larger facilities with multiple zones and rooftop units. We schedule around your operations, work after hours when needed, and provide documentation for insurance or health department requirements.
Multi-Zone System Cleaning
Commercial buildings in Kenmore often have multiple rooftop units serving different zones. We clean each zone independently, maintaining negative pressure and HEPA filtration throughout, so contamination doesn’t migrate from dirty sections into clean ones. You receive a written report with before-and-after photos for each zone.
Kitchen Exhaust and Make-Up Air
Restaurants and commercial kitchens near Kenmore’s main corridors face grease loading in exhaust ducts and make-up air systems. We clean to NFPA 96 standards using professional-grade equipment from Nikro and Abatement Technologies, with written certification for your fire inspector.
Trusted Brands We Service in Kenmore
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems for agitation cleaning inside corroded galvanized ducts, Nikro negative-air machines for containment during crawlspace work, and filtration products from Aprilaire and Guardsman. We don’t use hardware-store gear. These are the same tools commercial crews deploy on larger jobs, scaled to residential systems with the same discipline. For Kenmore homes with older forced-air furnaces, we stock compatible fittings and sealing materials so we’re not ordering parts while your system sits open. That means faster turnaround and fewer return visits.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Kenmore Homes
- Rust and flaking in original galvanized ducts. The 50-70 year old steel supply and return lines in Kenmore’s mid-century ranchers shed iron oxide scale that circulates through your home. Vacuum suction alone won’t remove adhered rust; rotary brush agitation with negative-air containment is required.
- Crawlspace moisture and rodent contamination. Homes along the Sammamish River corridor have duct runs through damp crawlspaces where river fog penetrates and rodents nest. We regularly find blower motors caked in nesting debris and disconnected joints pulling contaminated air into the supply side.
- Musty odors during damp months. Kenmore’s wet climate from October through April keeps humidity high inside ductwork, promoting mold and mildew growth on rusted metal surfaces. Cleaning removes the biological load, but we also flag where moisture intrusion needs sealing.
- Disconnected joints in mid-century systems. Original ductwork in 1950s-70s Kenmore homes often separates at seams and collars, creating negative pressure leaks that pull crawlspace or attic air into conditioned spaces. We identify these during camera inspection and seal them with mastic.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Kenmore
Every 3 – 5 years for river-corridor homes with crawlspace duct runs, compared to 5 – 7 years for newer systems on sealed slabs. The combination of galvanized steel deterioration, crawlspace moisture, and rodent activity in Kenmore’s mid-century ranchers accelerates contamination. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free inspection and we’ll tell you where your specific system falls.
Kenmore’s wet, mild climate and lush tree canopy keep outdoor humidity high during the damp months, and that moisture penetrates crawlspaces and older ductwork where mold and mildew grow on rusted galvanized surfaces. The smell is biological activity on deteriorating metal. Cleaning removes the growth; sealing moisture intrusion points helps prevent recurrence.
Yes, and we specialize in it. Crawlspace duct runs are common in Kenmore’s 1960s-70s homes along the Sammamish River corridor, where river fog and rodent activity create contamination patterns that hillside neighborhoods rarely see. We set up negative-air containment with HEPA filtration, run agitation tools through the supply and return lines, and seal penetrations before closing up.
Wood heat introduces fine particulate that loads return ducts faster than gas or electric systems. In Kenmore’s rural-fringe properties with supplemental wood stoves, we often find heavier soot and ash accumulation in return pathways. That doesn’t change our pricing structure, but it may affect recommended frequency. We’ll assess during your free estimate.
NADCA, the National Air Duct Cleaners Association, sets the industry standard for source removal: agitation tools to loosen debris, negative-air machines to extract it, and containment to protect your home. For Kenmore’s older galvanized systems, NADCA-compliant cleaning is essential because vacuum-only methods leave flaking rust and packed debris adhered to duct walls. We follow these standards on every job and document our process.
