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 Dryer Vent Cleaning Across Coral Gables
Dryer vent cleaning in Coral Gables typically runs $150 – $280 for a single-family home, with larger estates and multi-system properties ranging $280 – $450. Most jobs are completed in 60 – 90 minutes, and we dispatch crews from our Miami office daily to serve Coral Gables without the scheduling delays common with out-of-area outfits. Call (361) 326-5060 for a written estimate before any work starts.
We’ve worked on enough Coral Gables homes to know the local pattern: barrel-tile roofs, low-pitch attics, and dryer vent runs that don’t follow the straight lines you’d expect. A standard ranch-style vent job in Hialeah or Miami Beach is one thing. In Coral Gables, especially north of Coral Way and along the Granada Boulevard corridor, we’re often climbing to rooflines or working through soffit access just to reach the terminal hood. That’s not an exception here. It’s the norm.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning crews carry Rotobrush rotary agitation tools and Nikro negative-air machines with HEPA filtration because Coral Gables demands more than a shop vacuum and a prayer. The mature ficus and live oak canopy that makes this city beautiful also pumps fine organic debris into exterior vent hoods year-round, creating a sticky, humid biofilm that standard one-pass cleaning misses. We account for that in how we scope, price, and execute every job.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Coral Gables’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Hollis Air Duct Cleaning has been part of the Garrison Partners family since 2004. In Coral Gables, that longevity matters because we’ve seen what happens when crews unfamiliar with local construction treat a 1930s Mediterranean Revival like a tract home in Doral. They miss the vent run entirely, or they dislodge lint without containing it, or they never check the exterior hood because it’s twenty feet up under a tile overhang.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and expected to operate under The Garrison Code: arrive inside the quoted window, price the job in writing before touching anything, complete the work by the book, and leave the site clean. No exceptions. Every Coral Gables job carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise – if the work fails within a year, we return and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit.
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 to schedule. Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our Miami office, but crews serve Coral Gables locally with equipment stocked for the specific challenges of this market.
We’ve built our reputation here on documentation homeowners can verify. Before-and-after photos of your actual vent line. Written findings from camera inspection. A final report showing airflow readings. When the work happens inside a wall or above a ceiling, you deserve proof it was done – and done right.
Dryer Vent Repair in Coral Gables
Dryer Vent Repair in Coral Gables addresses the crushed, disconnected, or improperly routed vent lines that develop in homes where original construction predates modern appliance loads. In the Gables, we see this constantly: a 1930s or 1940s home retrofitted with a long flexible duct run through a low-pitch, barrel-tile-roof attic, sagging under its own weight, collecting condensation in humid months, and eventually separating at joints or collapsing where a roofer stepped wrong decades ago. Repair costs typically run $180 – $340 for straightforward reconnections or section replacements, with complex rerouting through tight attic spaces reaching $400 – $650.
Crushed or Disconnected Line Repair
A disconnected vent line in a Coral Gables attic doesn’t just waste energy. It dumps hot, moist air into insulation and roof decking, accelerating mold growth in a climate where mold already has the upper hand. We locate the break with camera inspection, reconnect using code-compliant rigid or semi-rigid ducting, and seal joints with proper mastic – not foil tape that fails in attic heat. The price is written before we start.
Vent Rerouting for Problematic Runs
Some Coral Gables homes have dryer vents that run 30 or 40 feet through multiple attic sections, exceeding manufacturer recommendations and creating lint traps at every sag. When rerouting is the right fix, we map the shortest safe path, often to a new exterior wall or soffit termination, and price the full job in writing. This isn’t a surprise upsell. It’s a solution we propose when camera inspection shows the existing route is fundamentally flawed.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company in Coral Gables
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company services in Coral Gables must account for construction that predates modern codes and a climate that accelerates every form of duct contamination. At Hollis, we treat dryer vent cleaning as source removal under controlled conditions: negative pressure containment, HEPA filtration, and rotary mechanical agitation that dislodges packed lint without releasing it into your laundry room. Standard cleaning for a single vent run in Coral Gables runs $150 – $220; homes with multiple laundry systems or complex attic routing range $220 – $380.
Camera Inspection and Documentation
Every Coral Gables job starts with a camera run. We show you what we’re seeing: lint accumulation, moisture staining, disconnected joints, exterior hood blockage from canopy debris. After cleaning, we run the camera again and provide dated, labeled photos. In a city where historic preservation codes mean you can’t simply tear out and replace original construction, documentation protects your investment and proves the work was necessary.
Exterior Hood and Bird Guard Service
The ficus and live oak canopy over Coral Gables streets doesn’t stop at your property line. We inspect and clear exterior vent hoods as standard practice, and we install bird guards where missing or damaged. A hood clogged with organic debris creates the same symptoms as a blocked interior line – long dry times, overheating, fire risk – but no amount of interior cleaning fixes it.
Trusted Brands We Service in Coral Gables
We stock parts and service equipment from the brands found in Coral Gables homes: Honeywell filtration components, Aprilaire ventilation controls, and Guardsman protective products for finished surfaces during access work. Our cleaning equipment includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines – the same tools commercial crews use, maintained to manufacturer spec, not hardware-store substitutes. For Coral Gables customers, that means no waiting on special orders for common repairs and no technician improvising with whatever’s in the van. We carry what this market needs because we’ve learned what breaks here.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Coral Gables Homes
- Long flexible runs through low-pitch attics. Many Coral Gables homes have dryer vents retrofitted with flexible ducting that sags, traps lint, and collects condensation in humid attic spaces. These runs often exceed 25 feet with multiple bends, violating manufacturer guidelines and creating fire hazards that standard cleaning can’t fully address without camera verification.
- Exterior hood blockage from canopy debris. The mature ficus and live oak trees that define Coral Gables streets shed fine organic matter that coats and clogs vent hoods from the outside. Homeowners call us for “interior blockage” when the real problem is a hood they can’t see or safely reach without ladder and roof access.
- Biological growth in humid vent lines. Coral Gables’ tropical monsoon climate means year-round humidity above 70 percent. Lint combines with moisture to support mold and mildew growth inside duct walls, creating musty odors and potential health concerns that require antimicrobial treatment beyond mechanical cleaning.
- Original construction incompatible with modern dryers. 1920s – 1940s Mediterranean Revival homes were built for clotheslines, not 7.3-cubic-foot dryers producing 200+ CFM of exhaust. The mismatch between appliance output and vent capacity strains every component, accelerating wear and increasing fire risk in homes where replacement ducting is constrained by historic preservation codes.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Coral Gables
The mature tree canopy over Coral Gables streets like Granada Boulevard and Coral Way produces more organic debris than typical Miami neighborhoods, and the city’s dense, historic housing stock often means longer, more convoluted vent runs that trap lint. Your friend’s Miami ranch may have a 6-foot straight shot to an exterior wall; your 1930s Mediterranean Revival likely routes through a low-pitch attic with multiple bends. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll assess your specific run and recommend an appropriate cleaning interval.
We use camera inspection to map the exact route, then access the line through roof or soffit entry points rather than forcing equipment through interior connections that could damage original construction. Rotary brush agitation under negative pressure with HEPA filtration contains all dislodged material; we never blow lint loose into your attic space. The method takes longer than a standard job, which is why Coral Gables pricing reflects actual access requirements.
Yes, and we frequently do. Camera inspection during cleaning reveals separations, crushed sections, or improper flexible ducting that we can replace with code-compliant rigid or semi-rigid material in the same visit. We write the repair price separately before starting any additional work, so you control what gets done. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers both cleaning and repair work.
No. The humid, canopy-filtered air in Coral Gables creates a sticky biofilm on duct walls that mechanical agitation and negative-pressure extraction must address. A one-pass vacuum leaves this residue, which attracts new lint and can support mold growth. Our standard is rotary brush cleaning under negative pressure, followed by camera verification and, where indicated, antimicrobial treatment. We document both passes with photos.
You should receive dated before-and-after camera images of your specific vent line, airflow readings demonstrating restored performance, a written summary of findings and work performed, and your copy of the written price agreement with the 365-Day Done Right Promise. In Coral Gables, where historic preservation constraints mean you can’t simply replace questionable construction, this documentation protects your property value and proves maintenance was performed to professional standard. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule – estimates are free, and the price we write is the price you pay.
