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.

We know Naples. From the 1960s concrete-block ranches off Pine Ridge Road to the high-rise condos along Gulf Shore Boulevard and the villa communities in Pelican Bay, we’ve cleaned ductwork in just about every housing type this city built between the Johnson administration and last year. The problems we find here aren’t the same as what our crews see in Tampa or Fort Myers. Naples’ seasonal occupancy pattern, its wet-season humidity, and its hurricane exposure create a specific set of duct failures that take specific tools and specific experience to fix right. That’s why our Air Duct Cleaning team trains on the same equipment commercial crews use, and why every job we do in Naples is backed by our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Naples’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been part of the Garrison Partners family since 2004. In Naples, that means something. Homeowners here have seen the seasonal fly-by-night outfits that show up in October, offer a $79 whole-house special, and disappear before the registers are back on. We don’t work that way. Our price is written down before we touch your system. It doesn’t move at the door.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and held to The Garrison Code: arrive inside the quoted window, price in writing, complete the job by the book, leave the site clean. You know who’s walking into your home before they arrive. And if the work fails within a year, we come back and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. That’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and it’s on every job.
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 because your villa smells like a wet basement the night you flew back from Michigan.
We serve Naples from our South Florida operations, with crews that know the local building stock: the short flexible runs in 1980s villas, the multiple-return condo systems, the air handlers tucked above ceilings in closet-sized mechanical rooms. Local knowledge means we bring the right access tools and the right expectations, not a one-size-fits-all van setup.
Air Duct Repair in Naples
Air Duct Repair in Naples usually means fixing what we find while we’re in the system for a cleaning, because in this city’s housing stock, the ducts themselves are often the problem. The 1980s-2000s villa and condo developments that dominate Naples used flexible duct runs for their short, adaptable layouts. Thirty years of Florida heat cycles, attic humidity, and occasional rodent activity leave those flex lines crushed at elbows, disconnected at collars, or sagging where the support straps failed. We regularly pull down ceiling panels in Park Shore and Pelican Bay units to find supply runs that have been blowing conditioned air into the attic for years. Repair runs $150 – $400 per section depending on access, material, and whether we’re resealing the plenum connection.
Crushed Flexible Run Replacement
Flexible duct crushes at tight bends, especially in the compact ceiling cavities common to Naples condos. We cut out the damaged section, install new insulated flex with proper radius supports, and seal with mastic, not tape that’ll dry out in six months. The difference in airflow at the far register is immediate and measurable.
Return Plenum Resealing
When a return duct pulls from a hot, humid attic through a leaky plenum, it’s sucking mold spores and dust straight into your air handler. We reseal with duct mastic and mechanical fasteners, then verify with pressure testing. In Naples’ climate, this one repair often does more for indoor air quality than the cleaning itself.
Ductwork Cleaning in Naples
Ductwork Cleaning in Naples is not the same job it is in drier climates. Because thousands of condos in Pelican Bay and along the Gulf sit sealed with the AC off or set to 85 from May through October, the real problem here is biological, not particulate. Those five months of stagnant, humid air turn supply and return ducts into incubation chambers. When the owner returns in November and kicks the system on, the first breath out of the register carries mold spores, dust mite debris, and that unmistakable wet-basement odor. A standard dry-vacuum cleaning without antimicrobial treatment leaves the living contamination behind. Whole-home ductwork cleaning in Naples runs $350 – $850; condo and villa systems typically fall in the $180 – $420 range depending on the number of returns and whether we need to treat for microbial growth.
Negative-Air Method with Rotary Agitation
We use Nikro negative-air machines to put the entire duct system under vacuum while Rotobrush rotary tools agitate the interior surfaces. The combination loosens adhered contamination and pulls it out of the house, not just deeper into the system. For Naples’ mold-prone returns, we follow with antimicrobial treatment rated for HVAC applications.
Video Inspection Before and After
You see what we see. Our camera goes in before we start and again when we’re done. In Naples, this matters because the visible difference between a neglected return duct and a clean one is dramatic, and because we often find crushed or disconnected runs that explain why the master bedroom never cooled properly. The video becomes part of your job record.
Trusted Brands We Service in Naples
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems, Nikro negative-air machines, and filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies. These are the same tools commercial crews use in hospitals and schools, not the hardware-store shop-vac setups some seasonal operators roll out. We stock filters and replacement media for Honeywell and Aprilaire whole-house systems common in Naples’ 1990s-2000s builds, which means faster turnaround when your unit needs more than cleaning. If your air handler uses a proprietary filter size or your condo association specifies a particular MERV rating for common-area systems, we source to that spec and document it on the invoice.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Naples Homes
- Vacant-season mold colonization: Because Pelican Bay and Gulf-side condos sit closed with the AC off or set high from May through October, the supply and return ducts become a humid incubation chamber. A standard dry-vacuum cleaning without antimicrobial treatment leaves the mold spores behind to recolonize within weeks.
- Hurricane-season debris intrusion: After a tropical storm, wind-driven insulation, lanai screen fragments, and salt-laden dust get pulled into return ducts through damaged roofs or attics. Techs who don’t pull the air handler and inspect the return plenum miss the source entirely.
- Crushed or disconnected flexible runs: In the 1980s-2000s villa and condo stock, short flexible duct runs are often crushed at tight elbows or popped off their collars above the ceiling. A cleaning that only addresses the accessible runs never restores airflow to the far registers.
- Improperly supported sagging ducts: Florida heat degrades strap hangers over time, creating low points where condensation pools. In Naples’ humidity, those pools become mold reservoirs that distribute spores every time the blower cycles.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Naples, FL
Here’s what air duct cleaning actually costs in this market. A typical whole-home system in Naples runs $350 – $850. Condo and villa systems, with their shorter duct runs and multiple returns, usually fall between $180 – $420. Air duct repair, when we find crushed or disconnected flexible runs during cleaning, adds $150 – $400 per section.
What moves the number: the number of supply and return ducts, whether the system needs antimicrobial treatment for mold contamination, accessibility (ceiling panels, attic crawls, closet-mounted air handlers), and whether we need to repair or replace damaged duct sections. We price by the complete system, not by the vent. No per-vent add-ons. No surprise charges once we’re inside.
The price is written down before we start. It does not move at the door. Estimates are free. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll give you a straight answer on what your system will take.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Naples
Not every year, but you need it before you move back in if the unit was sealed with the AC off. The five-month humid vacancy creates mold and dust-mite conditions that don’t occur in year-round occupied homes. We recommend a pre-season inspection in early October; if the camera shows contamination, we clean and treat before you arrive. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule – estimates are free.
The register in that room will have weak airflow even with the blower on high, and the space will be hard to cool. We verify with a camera inspection that shows the actual duct condition above the ceiling. If it’s crushed or off the collar, we repair it as part of the job, with the cost written into your upfront price. Call (361) 326-5060 for an exact quote.
Salt-laden dust, wind-driven insulation fragments, and pieces of lanai screen pulled through damaged roof or attic vents. Inland techs rarely see this combination because the salt air and the specific wind patterns of Gulf-side storms don’t reach them. We inspect the return plenum and the air handler cabinet for this debris, which standard filter changes miss. Call (361) 326-5060 if your system ran during or after a storm.
Negative-air containment, rotary brush agitation, video inspection, and antimicrobial treatment when mold is present. In Naples, the antimicrobial step is essential because of our vacant-season humidity pattern. We also repair crushed or disconnected runs we find during the job. The price covers the complete system, not a per-vent count. Call (361) 326-5060 for a written estimate.
Yes. Higher MERV filters trap more particles but can restrict airflow in systems not designed for them, increasing humidity in the ducts. Closet or ceiling-mounted air handlers in Naples condos are harder to access and may require additional time for proper containment. We check both factors during our pre-work inspection and note any recommendations on your written price. Call (361) 326-5060 to discuss your specific setup.
