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 Maitland
Air duct cleaning in Maitland typically runs $350 – $650 for a full residential system, with most jobs scheduled within a week and completed in a single day. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Garrison Partners family, and our Air Duct Cleaning crews serve Maitland from our Miami office, dispatching background-checked, uniformed technicians with Rotobrush and Nikro equipment to homes from the lakefront neighborhoods around Lake Maitland to the ranch homes near Sybelia and Minnehaha. Call (361) 326-5060 for a written estimate before any work starts.
Maitland’s not like inland Florida. The heavy oak and cypress canopy, the high water table, and the near-constant AC runtime create a specific problem: ducts here don’t just collect dust. They collect pollen, mold spores, and organic debris that thrives in crawlspaces that never fully dry out. We’ve been handling that reality since 2004, and we price it in writing before we touch anything.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Maitland’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We show up when we said we would. That’s not a slogan; it’s The Garrison Standard, and it means arriving inside the quoted window, pricing in writing, completing the job by the book, and leaving the site clean. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and our phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No voicemail loops. No callback queues.
Every job carries the 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 promise applies to every Maitland job we do, from a single-family ranch near Dommerich Estates to the newer condos off 17-92.
We know the local housing stock. Much of Maitland was built between the 1950s and 1970s, and those original duct systems sit in unconditioned attics or low crawlspaces where humidity pools. Newer infill near Maitland City Centre has tighter flex-duct systems, but the older neighborhoods still dominate our route schedule. We adjust our approach accordingly.
Vent Cleaning in Maitland
Vent Cleaning in Maitland addresses the supply and return registers where pollen, pet dander, and kitchen grease accumulate on the visible grilles and just inside the boot connections. In Maitland’s climate, we often find greenish or dark staining on vents facing the exterior walls, especially in homes under the oak canopy where humidity stays elevated. A typical vent cleaning for a Maitland home runs $150 – $280 when done as a standalone service, or it’s included in a full system cleaning.
Supply Vent Cleaning
Supply vents push conditioned air into your rooms. We remove each grille, clean the boot and first few feet of duct with rotary brushes, and treat for organic growth if we see staining. In lakefront Maitland homes, these boots often show mold-like spotting from the constant humidity draw through exterior walls.
Return Vent Cleaning
Return vents pull air back to the handler, and they’re your first line of defense. We find heavy oak and cypress pollen loading in Maitland returns, especially in homes without upgraded filtration. Cleaning here improves airflow and reduces the debris burden on your main duct runs.
Air Duct Repair in Maitland
Air Duct Repair in Maitland fixes the disconnected, crushed, or deteriorated flex duct that we find in roughly half the older homes we inspect. The humid crawlspaces here accelerate corrosion of metal connectors and breakdown of older flex materials, so repair work is often part of a cleaning job rather than a separate call. Typical duct repair in Maitland ranges from $200 – $550 for localized fixes, with full section replacements running higher depending on access.
Disconnected and Crushed Runs
Original ductwork in 1960s and 1970s Maitland ranches was often installed with minimal support. Over decades, flex duct sags, disconnects at collars, or gets crushed by storage items in crawlspaces. We reconnect with proper supports and seal with mastic, not tape that will fail in the damp.
Moisture-Damaged Sections
When crawlspaces stay wet, flex duct inner liners degrade and metal duct corrodes. We replace damaged sections with properly rated materials and address the drainage or vapor barrier issues that caused the failure, so the repair lasts.
Trusted Brands We Service in Maitland
We clean and service ductwork connected to all major HVAC brands, and we stock filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman for Maitland customers who need upgraded media installed during their cleaning. Our equipment roster includes Nikro negative-air machines and Rotobrush rotary systems, the same tools commercial crews use, because residential ductwork in this market deserves that level of agitation and containment. If your system uses an Aprilaire media cabinet or a Honeywell electronic air cleaner, we can service the filter housing and recommend the correct replacement schedule for Maitland’s pollen-heavy environment. Parts that we don’t carry on the van are available through our Miami office with fast turnaround, so you’re not waiting weeks for a basic repair.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Maitland Homes
- Mold and microbial growth in damp crawlspaces. Maitland’s year-round humidity and high water table keep crawlspaces moist. Ducts sitting in that environment draw in spores, and without antimicrobial treatment and moisture source identification, cleaning alone won’t last.
- Disintegrated flex duct in 1950s – 70s ranches. Original flex runs near Lake Sybelia and Dommerich Estates have often exceeded their service life. The inner liner crumbles, the insulation gets wet, and the duct becomes a debris source rather than a clean air pathway.
- Pollen and organic debris loading from the oak canopy. Live oaks and bald cypress drop fine material that penetrates older return systems. We find this especially heavy in homes without sealed return plenums or upgraded filtration.
- Post-hurricane moisture intrusion. Power outages during storm season stop the AC and allow humidity to spike. Standing water in ductwork, if not properly dried and treated, spreads contamination through the entire system when power returns.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Maitland
Every three to five years for most Maitland homes, though lakefront properties with crawlspace ductwork may need inspection every two to three years due to constant moisture exposure. Homes under heavy oak canopy or with pets should lean toward the shorter interval. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll assess your specific system.
Maitland’s combination of heavy tree canopy, high water table, and 1950s – 70s housing stock with crawlspace ductwork creates conditions where mold spores and organic debris dominate over simple dust accumulation. The AC runs almost year-round, so ducts never get a dry-out season. We address this with moisture inspection, antimicrobial treatment, and repair of vapor barrier issues, not just vacuuming.
Yes, our rotary brush and negative-air methods follow NADCA guidelines for source removal, containment, and protection of the HVAC system. We use Nikro negative-air machines to maintain proper pressure differential during agitation, and we inspect with cameras before and after so you see the difference.
Yes. We adjust our approach for older metal duct or fragile flex systems, using lower-agitation settings and hand tools where needed. We inspect first, explain what we find, and get written approval before proceeding. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers our work either way.
Do not restart the HVAC until the ductwork has been inspected and any standing moisture addressed. Running the system wet spreads microbial contamination through every room. We offer post-storm inspections and can dry, treat, and verify duct integrity before you turn the AC back on. Call (361) 326-5060 for priority scheduling after weather events.
