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.
Fast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across The Colony
Air duct cleaning in The Colony typically runs $350 – $650 for a full residential system, and most jobs are scheduled within a few business days with a written price locked in before we start. We’re the Air Duct Cleaning crew local homeowners call when they want the work done by the book, not by the coupon.
Our Dallas-Fort Worth office dispatches teams directly to The Colony, so we’re familiar with the specific duct problems this city throws at us. We know the 1980s subdivisions off Main Street where flex duct has cooked in the attic for four decades. We know The Tribute and The Shores, where new construction dust still sits in the ducts because the builder’s rough-clean never reached the trunk lines. And we know the Stewart Peninsula and Newman Farm areas, where production-built homes share the same era of fiberglass duct board and builder-grade boots now failing at the seams. When you call (361) 326-5060, you get a live person who knows The Colony, not a call center reading from a script.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is The Colony’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been in business since 2004 as part of the Garrison Partners family, and our reputation in The Colony is built 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 crew operates.
Roy Castellanos leads this operation, and our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and equipped with professional-grade tools from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies. We don’t send day laborers in unmarked vans. You know who’s walking into your home before they arrive.
Our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every job in writing: if the work fails within a year, we come back and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. No negotiation, no runaround. In a trade where too many outfits compete on the lowest teaser price then jack it up at the door, we compete on discipline. The price we write down before any work starts is the price you pay. It does not move.
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 when your ducts are dumping attic air into your living room.
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in The Colony
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in The Colony covers office parks, retail spaces, medical suites, and multi-tenant buildings where the HVAC system runs harder and longer than residential units, pulling in North Texas dust, pollen, and construction debris from nearby development. A typical commercial duct cleaning in The Colony runs $800 – $2,500 depending on system size, access difficulty, and whether the job requires negative-air containment or after-hours scheduling to avoid disrupting business operations. We use Nikro negative-air machines and HEPA filtration to contain debris during the cleaning, not spread it through the occupied space.
System Access and Containment
Commercial buildings in The Colony often have rooftop units or mechanical rooms with limited access. Our crews plan the containment strategy before arriving, sealing registers and using negative-air machines to maintain pressure differential so nothing escapes into workspaces. We photograph the before condition, clean under containment, and document the after.
After-Hours and Weekend Scheduling
We schedule commercial work around your hours, not ours. Retail spaces near State Highway 121 or office parks off Paige Road can be serviced evenings and weekends so your customers and employees never see the process, only the result.
Air Duct Cleaning Services in The Colony
Air Duct Cleaning Services in The Colony address the specific failure modes this city’s housing stock produces: collapsed flex duct, disintegrated fiberglass liner, disconnected joints at the trunk, and construction debris in newer homes that never got a proper rough-clean. A typical full residential system cleaning in The Colony runs $350 – $650, with video inspection, coil cleaning, and duct sealing as add-ons that we price separately in writing before any work begins. We don’t quote per-vent pricing because it’s a bait-and-switch setup; we quote one flat price per system, agreed before we touch anything.
Video Inspection and Documentation
We run a camera through your supply and return ducts before and after cleaning. You see what we see: the disconnected flex joint dumping air into the attic, the drywall grit from the builder’s crew, the fiberglass liner that turned to powder. No guessing. No trust-me claims. The footage is yours.

Negative-Air and Rotary Brush Methods
We match the method to the duct material. Fiberglass duct board and degraded flex runs get gentle negative-air HEPA vacuuming to avoid damaging what’s already fragile. Metal trunk lines and newer flex get Rotobrush rotary agitation to knock debris loose, then immediate extraction. We explain which method we’re using and why, in plain terms, before we start.

Trusted Brands We Service in The Colony
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems, Nikro negative-air machines, and filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman. We don’t use hardware-store shop vacs with a long hose attached. These are the same tools commercial crews use, and we stock common replacement parts so The Colony customers aren’t waiting weeks for a simple repair. If your system needs a new filter housing, a sealed register boot, or an Aprilaire media upgrade, we typically have it on the van or can source it within a day or two. Fast turnaround matters when your AC is pulling 100°F attic air through a failed duct seam in July.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in The Colony Homes
- Builder handover dust in new construction. Homes in The Tribute and The Shores often have drywall debris, sawdust, and construction grit left in the ducts from the build. The buyer assumes a new house means clean ducts. It doesn’t. The builder’s rough-clean rarely reaches past the main trunk, and we’ve found entire sections of supply line still packed with drywall powder.
- Collapsed flex duct in attic heat. On the older streets near Main Street and the original 1980s subdivisions, the flexible duct runs have baked in The Colony’s attic temperatures for 20 – 40 years. We open a register and find the inner liner has disintegrated into dusty fiberglass. The cleaning becomes a repair: new flex, sealed boot, proper support.
- Disconnected joints at the trunk. Production builders in Newman Farm and Stewart Peninsula used the same installation methods across thousands of homes. Flex joints pulled loose from the trunk line by vibration and thermal cycling dump conditioned air straight into the attic. Our camera finds them. We rebuild them.
- Fiberglass duct board failing at the seams. Original duct board in The Colony’s 1980s – 2000s housing stock is now old enough that the seams are opening, pulling hot, humid Blackland Prairie air and mountain cedar pollen into the supply stream. Cleaning alone won’t fix it; we seal or replace the affected sections.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in The Colony
Construction debris from drywall sanding, sawdust, and general build grit accumulates in ducts during construction, and the builder’s rough-clean rarely removes it from the trunk lines and flex runs. In The Colony’s newer subdivisions like The Tribute, we regularly find supply registers still packed with drywall powder months after move-in. Call (361) 326-5060 for an inspection and exact quote – estimates are free.
The builder should have performed a thorough rough-clean of all ductwork after construction, then protected the registers during finish work, and finally run a post-construction flush with HEPA filtration before turnover. Most don’t. We document what’s actually in your ducts with video, then clean what the builder left behind. Call (361) 326-5060 for an inspection and exact quote – estimates are free.
The original 1980s subdivisions near Main Street have flex duct and fiberglass duct board now 35 – 40 years old, baked in attic heat that regularly exceeds 130°F. The inner liner disintegrates when disturbed, and seams fail when agitated. We open the register intending to clean and find material that can’t be cleaned, only replaced. We show you the camera footage, quote the repair separately, and only proceed with your approval. Call (361) 326-5060 for an inspection and exact quote – estimates are free.
Yes, because The Colony’s climate and housing stock create ongoing stress: extreme summer heat drives near-constant AC operation from May to October, pulling Blackland Prairie allergens and humidity through ductwork; original flex and duct board continues degrading; and new construction in expanding areas adds seasonal dust. Most The Colony homeowners benefit from cleaning every 3 – 5 years, with video inspection to catch developing problems between full cleanings. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule – estimates are free.
A real cleaning includes video inspection of supply and return ducts, register and boot removal, HEPA vacuum extraction under negative air pressure, rotary brush agitation on appropriate duct materials, coil and blower inspection, and post-cleaning video documentation. We don’t wave a shop vac hose at your register and call it done. The Garrison Standard requires arriving inside the window, pricing in writing, completing the job by the book, and leaving the site clean. Call (361) 326-5060 for an inspection and exact quote – estimates are free.
