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.

Palm Valley sits in a unique spot. The Atlantic is just over the dunes, and that proximity puts every home here in a salt-aerosol belt. Fine ocean salt deposits coat HVAC evaporator coils and duct interiors year-round. The 2001 Florida energy code required sealed, insulated duct chases for all new construction, so most Palm Valley homes built from 2002 forward have flex-duct runs in attic spaces that demand specialized handling. Our Air Duct Cleaning crew knows the difference between a routine cleaning and a post-storm job that needs documentation for your insurer. We don’t guess. We camera-inspect, we write the price down, and we do the work by the book.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Palm Valley’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve built our reputation in Palm Valley on showing up inside the window, pricing in writing, and leaving the site clean. The Garrison Standard isn’t a slogan; it’s operational discipline. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. You know who’s walking into your home before they arrive. Phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No voicemail loops, no callback queues, no waiting until Monday.
Palm Valley homeowners aren’t shopping for the cheapest bid. They’re shopping for the bid they can trust. We’ve earned that trust by refusing to play the bait-and-switch game that plagues this trade. The price we write down before work starts is the price you pay. If the repair 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.
Our crews serve Palm Valley with equipment that matches what commercial operations use: Rotobrush rotary brush systems, Nikro negative-air machines, and HEPA filtration from Abatement Technologies. We pair that gear with coil-safe antimicrobial treatments from Honeywell and Aprilaire, because Palm Valley’s salt film requires more than a hardware-store vacuum and a brush.
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Palm Valley
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Palm Valley covers office buildings, medical suites, retail spaces, and multi-tenant properties where occupancy standards and insurance requirements demand documented, code-compliant work. A typical commercial job in Palm Valley runs $800 – $2,400 depending on system size, access difficulty, and whether post-storm salt intrusion or water damage requires source removal rather than standard cleaning. We schedule these jobs to minimize disruption to your operation, and we provide written documentation of scope, completion, and any findings for your facilities manager or insurer.
System Documentation for Property Managers
Every commercial job includes before-and-after photo documentation and a written condition report. If your Palm Valley property has suffered water intrusion or salt contamination after a storm, we detail exactly which duct sections are salvageable through cleaning and which require replacement. That documentation is what your insurer needs to process the claim without delays or disputes.
HEPA-Contained Cleaning for Occupied Spaces
We run Nikro negative-air machines with HEPA filtration during commercial cleaning, capturing disturbed particulate rather than redistributing it through your ventilation system. In Palm Valley’s humid climate, skipping this step means salt-laden grit re-deposits on coils and re-contaminates ducts within weeks. We don’t skip steps.
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Palm Valley
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Palm Valley address the specific challenges of coastal HVAC systems: salt film accumulation, mold and mildew growth in supply ducts, and the unique vulnerabilities of sealed, insulated flex-duct runs installed under Florida’s 2001 energy code. A typical residential full-system cleaning in Palm Valley costs $350 – $650, with video inspection, coil treatment, and antimicrobial application available as line-item additions. We clean supply ducts, return ducts, and the full system, and we adjust our approach based on your home’s construction year and duct configuration.
Residential Duct Cleaning with Salt-Specific Protocols
Palm Valley’s salt-aerosol belt means the first few feet of supply duct after your air handler accumulate a sticky salt film that ordinary brush-and-vacuum cleaning won’t remove. It needs NADCA-standard source removal with negative pressure plus a coil-safe antimicrobial rinse, because the salt layer re-wets and traps dust overnight. Our crews know this. Inland companies often don’t.

Video Inspection and Post-Storm Assessment
We camera-inspect before we quote. After a nor’easter or tropical storm, service calls spike in the Sawgrass and Palm Valley neighborhoods because wind-driven salt spray enters attic vents and outdoor returns, leaving that gritty film inside the first few feet of supply ducts. Our video inspection shows you exactly what we’re seeing, and we document damage that requires replacement versus contamination that cleaning can resolve.

Trusted Brands We Service in Palm Valley
We stock parts and treatments from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies for Palm Valley customers, which means faster turnaround when your system needs filtration upgrades or coil-safe antimicrobial application after salt exposure. Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems for gentle agitation of insulated flex duct, Nikro negative-air machines for source removal, and Guardsman filtration products. These aren’t hardware-store tools. They’re the same units commercial crews run, and we explain what each one does for your specific system before we start. If your Palm Valley home has a multi-zone setup with Honeywell or Aprilaire zoning panels, we know how to isolate zones during cleaning so we don’t disrupt your balancing.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Palm Valley Homes
- Sticky salt film in supply ducts after nor’easters. Wind-driven salt spray enters attic vents and coats the first few feet of duct and the evaporator coil. Homeowners notice it as a gritty residue on vents and reduced airflow from the salt-clogged coil. Standard brush cleaning won’t touch it; it needs negative-air source removal and antimicrobial treatment.
- Crushed flex-duct in bonus-room-over-garage layouts. Palm Valley’s 1990s – 2020s homes often have insulated flex-duct runs to bonus rooms, and aggressive brush agitation collapses the duct, starving far zones of airflow. We use Rotobrush tools sized for flex-duct integrity.
- Mold growth in attic duct runs during summer. Dew points above 75°F from May through September mean condensation forms on duct exteriors and infiltrates through any seam gap, creating mold colonies inside supply lines. Annual cleaning prevents this from becoming a respiratory issue.
- Re-contamination weeks after inadequate cleaning. Crews that skip HEPA filtration and negative pressure disturb salt-laden grit that resettles on the evaporator coil, circulating back through supply and return ducts. We see this when homeowners call us to redo a “cleaning” done six weeks prior by a cut-rate outfit.

Accessibility counts too; duct chases behind finished basement ceilings or tight crawlspaces take longer. Post-storm jobs requiring documentation for insurance add time but not hidden fees, the price is written before we start. We don’t quote per-vent teaser rates that balloon at the door.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Palm Valley
We camera-inspect the full duct run and the air handler chase to determine if water intrusion reached the insulation inside flex-duct or if the contamination is surface salt film that source removal can resolve. If water saturated the duct interior, replacement is necessary because mold will grow in the insulation cavity where cleaning can’t reach. We document this with timestamped video and written findings formatted for your insurer. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll schedule the inspection, estimates are free.
Palm Valley’s salt-aerosol belt deposits a fine salt layer on evaporator coils and duct interiors that re-wets nightly from our high dew points, trapping new dust and creating a sticky film that brushes alone can’t dislodge. Coil-safe antimicrobial treatments break that bond without corroding aluminum fins or damaging coated surfaces. Inland ductwork faces dust and pollen, not salt film, so the cleaning method differs. We assess your coil condition before recommending the treatment.
Yes. Florida’s 2001 energy code required sealed, insulated flex-duct for all new construction, and 2006 Palm Valley homes typically have multi-zone systems with flex runs in attic spaces. Aggressive rotary brushes crush this duct type, reducing diameter and starving far zones of airflow. We use Rotobrush agitation tools sized for flex-duct integrity, paired with Nikro negative-air machines for source removal without mechanical damage. The sealed chases also mean we must verify chase integrity before pressurizing, to avoid blowing contaminants into wall cavities.
Most Palm Valley homes need annual cleaning due to the combination of salt aerosol, high summer humidity, and near-continuous cooling system operation from May through September. Multi-zone systems compound this because zone dampers create pressure differentials that pull attic air through any seam gap, accelerating contamination. If you notice reduced airflow in one zone, visible dust at vents, or musty odors when the system cycles, schedule sooner. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll assess whether your system is on a standard annual cycle or needs more frequent attention based on your home’s exposure and usage.
We provide timestamped video inspection footage, a written condition report with specific recommendations for cleaning versus replacement by duct section, and photographs of any water line marks or insulation saturation. This documentation is formatted to meet standard insurer requirements for HVAC damage claims. If replacement is necessary, we detail why cleaning is insufficient, citing mold risk in saturated flex-duct insulation cavities. We’ve worked with Palm Valley homeowners and their adjusters on post-storm claims, and we know what documentation speeds approval. Call (361) 326-5060 to start the inspection process, there’s no charge for the estimate or the documentation if you proceed with the recommended work.
