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 Westlake
Air duct cleaning in Westlake typically runs $350 – $650 for a full residential system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and our Air Duct Cleaning in Westlake crews work out of our Dallas-Fort Worth dispatch office, covering Westlake homes from the lakefront neighborhoods near Detroit Road to the subdivisions off Crocker Road. We’ve spent years in these driveways, and we know the flex-duct systems common in 1990s Westlake builds don’t respond well to one-size-fits-all cleaning. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate with a written price that holds.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Westlake’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Our reputation in Westlake was built job by job, not by buying ads. Homeowners here talk, and word travels fast in a community this size. We’ve earned that trust by showing up inside the window we quoted, pricing in writing before touching equipment, and leaving furnaces and utility rooms cleaner than we found them.
Roy Castellanos leads our operation under The Garrison Standard, which means every technician is background-checked, uniformed, and trained on the same equipment roster we use in commercial buildings: Rotobrush rotary brush systems, Nikro negative-air machines, and filtration from Honeywell and Aprilaire. No crew member enters a Westlake home without that preparation.
Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our Dallas-Fort Worth office, but the trucks serving Westlake are stocked and routed locally. That matters when a homeowner on the lakefront calls about musty airflow after a humid summer week, or when a Crocker Road family needs their zoned system cleaned before the heating season starts.
Our 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 morning to schedule.
Vent Cleaning in Westlake
Vent Cleaning in Westlake addresses the supply and return registers where conditioned air enters your rooms and where stale air gets drawn back to the furnace. In Westlake’s 1980s – 2000s subdivisions, we frequently find vents clogged with construction debris that never fully cleared, plus the fine dust that settles during our cold, snowy winters when systems run constantly. A typical residential vent cleaning in Westlake runs $150 – $300 as a standalone service, or it’s included in a full system cleaning.
Supply Vent Focus
Supply vents push heated or cooled air into your living spaces. We remove each cover, clean the boot and first few feet of duct behind it, and treat any mold staining common in lakefront homes where summer humidity tops 80 percent. Our rotary brushes break loose debris without damaging the flex duct common in Westlake’s original construction.
Return Vent Deep Clean
Return vents pull air back through your system and collect the most dust. We see returns near Westlake’s finished basements pulling in pet hair and carpet fibers that compact into dense mats. Our Nikro negative-air machines maintain suction during cleaning so nothing escapes into your home.
Air Duct Repair in Westlake
Air Duct Repair in Westlake fixes the disconnected joints, crushed flex runs, and deteriorated sealing that waste energy and redistribute dust. The 1990s subdivisions near Detroit Road were built with minimal duct sealing standards, and twenty-plus years of Lake Erie humidity cycles have opened gaps at plenum connections. Typical repairs in Westlake range from $200 – $500 for sealing and patching, with full section replacement running $400 – $800 depending on accessibility.
Leak Detection and Sealing
We pressurize the system and use smoke pencils to find leaks at joints and seams. In Westlake’s two-story zoned homes, we often find the upstairs zone starved because flexible duct has pulled loose at the trunk line. Our Duct Sealing in Westlake service uses mastic and mechanical fasteners, not tape that dries and fails.
Flex Duct Replacement
Original flex duct in Westlake homes becomes brittle and collapses internally. We replace damaged runs with properly sized, insulated flex or hard pipe where the application calls for it, restoring airflow balance to rooms that have been too hot or too cold for years.
Trusted Brands We Service in Westlake
We stock parts and filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman, with Abatement Technologies HEPA equipment on every truck. Westlake homeowners with Aprilaire media air cleaners or Honeywell electronic air cleaners get same-visit filter replacements because we carry the common sizes. For homes with aftermarket UV or whole-house dehumidifiers tied to the duct system, we coordinate cleaning around that equipment rather than treating it as an afterthought. Rotobrush and Nikro machines handle the mechanical cleaning; the filtration brands handle what your family breathes afterward.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Westlake Homes
- Mold in lakefront ductwork. Westlake’s position on Lake Erie means summer humidity regularly exceeds what tightly built homes can exhaust. We find mold staining inside supply boots in lakefront properties where the HVAC runs hard but the envelope doesn’t breathe.
- Pressure imbalances in 1990s subdivisions. Homes off Crocker Road and similar developments were built with flex duct that was never properly sealed at the furnace plenum. The result: some rooms pressurize and others go stagnant, with dust migrating through every gap.
- Construction debris in original systems. Westlake’s 1980s – 2000s housing stock often still contains drywall dust, wood chips, and insulation scraps that fell into open ducts during building and were never removed.
- Condensation damage from seasonal swings. Westlake’s cold, snowy winters followed by humid summers create temperature differentials that sweat inside ductwork. Over years, this rusts metal components and saturates flex duct insulation, creating musty odors that cleaning alone won’t fix without addressing the moisture source.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Westlake, TX
A typical residential full-system cleaning in Westlake runs $350 – $650 for a single-furnace home with 12 – 20 vents. Two-story homes with zoned systems, common in the Detroit Road corridor developments, typically fall in the $500 – $850 range because of additional trunk lines and access points. Commercial duct cleaning for Westlake’s retail and office spaces is quoted per system after inspection.
