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 Dallas
Dryer vent cleaning in Dallas typically costs $120 – $280 for a standard residential run, with roof-terminated and attic-run systems running toward the higher end. Most jobs take 60 – 90 minutes and include a camera inspection of the full lint pathway, agitation cleaning, and before-and-after photos of your own vents. Call us at (361) 326-5060 for a written estimate before any work starts.
We dispatch our Dryer Vent Cleaning crews from the Dallas-Fort Worth office, so we’re familiar with the vent configurations you’re actually dealing with: the roof jacks common in Preston Hollow and Lakewood, the long attic runs in Frisco and Plano tract homes, and the original galvanized ductwork still found in Oak Cliff bungalows. Dallas’s humid subtropical climate and attic temperatures that regularly exceed 140°F in summer change how lint accumulates, how flex duct degrades, and why a visual inspection from the ground tells you almost nothing useful.
Our technicians arrive uniformed, background-checked, and inside the quoted window. The price is written down before we touch anything. That’s The Garrison Standard, and it’s how we’ve operated since 2004.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Dallas’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Hollis Air Duct Cleaning has built its reputation in Dallas on one thing: doing what we said we’d do, at the price we said, with proof you can see. We’re part of the Garrison Partners family, independently owned and operated here in North Texas, and we answer to local customers, not a distant corporate office.
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. When you call (361) 326-5060, you talk to someone who can book your appointment and give you a real arrival window.
Every job carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise 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. We also provide before-and-after photographs of your actual vents, not stock images, so you know the lint pathway was cleared.
We serve Dallas homeowners from the Park Cities to Pleasant Grove, and we know the local housing stock: the post-1990s construction boom that left flexible ductwork prone to crushing in unconditioned attics, the older East Dallas homes with undersized original runs, and the newer suburbs where oversized systems with leaky flex ducts waste energy and pull attic dust into living spaces.
Dryer Vent Inspection in Dallas
Dryer Vent Inspection in Dallas starts with a camera run through the full lint pathway, from the back of your dryer to the termination point, because so many Dallas vents end at roof jacks or wall caps you cannot see from the ground. The inspection identifies lint buildup, crushed flex duct, improper slope, bird nests, and damaged or missing vent caps. A typical residential inspection in Dallas runs $75 – $125, and if you proceed with cleaning, we apply that toward the job.
What the Camera Reveals
Our technicians use a borescope to document the condition of your vent interior in real time. In Dallas’s 140°F summer attics, flex duct softens and sags, creating low spots where lint collects. The camera finds these before they become blockages. You’ll see the footage. We explain what it means. Then you decide whether to proceed.
When to Schedule an Inspection
Book an inspection if your dryer takes longer than one cycle, if you smell burning lint, or if it’s been more than a year since the last cleaning. In Dallas’s high-humidity summers, damp lint compacts faster than in drier climates. Annual inspection is the safest baseline for most homes.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Dallas
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Dallas serves restaurants, laundromats, multi-family buildings, and any facility where dryers run continuous cycles and lint accumulates fast. These systems use larger-diameter ductwork, often with multiple turns and longer runs, and they must meet fire code requirements that residential systems do not. A typical commercial dryer vent cleaning in Dallas runs $250 – $600 depending on run length, access difficulty, and whether the system terminates at a roof jack or sidewall cap.
Code Compliance and Documentation
Commercial kitchens and laundry facilities in Dallas need documented cleaning for insurance and fire marshal inspections. We provide before-and-after photos, a written service report, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise on all commercial work. Our crews use Nikro negative-air machines and Rotobrush rotary agitation systems to clear heavy commercial buildup without dislodging ductwork.
Multi-Unit Properties
Apartment and condo buildings in Dallas often share vent stacks that run multiple floors. One blocked unit can back pressure into neighbors. We inspect the full stack, identify individual branch connections, and clean each run to restore proper airflow throughout the building.
Trusted Brands We Service in Dallas
We carry parts and accessories from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Guardsman, so most vent cap replacements, bird guard installations, and flex duct repairs happen on the first visit without waiting for a parts order. If your system uses a specific termination hood or backdraft damper, we stock common configurations for Dallas’s housing stock. For filtration and indoor air quality upgrades, we also work with Honeywell and Aprilaire products. The equipment matters because a hardware-store brush kit cannot safely clean a roof-terminated run in a 140°F Dallas attic. Our tools are the same ones commercial crews use, maintained and operated by technicians trained on them.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Dallas Homes
- Crushed flex duct in attic runs. Dallas’s post-1990s suburban boom installed miles of flexible ductwork in unconditioned attics. Summer heat softens it, storage items or insulation compress it, and the result is a lint trap you cannot see from inside the house.
- Roof jack terminations without bird guards. Many Dallas neighborhoods, especially Preston Hollow and Lakewood, vent dryers straight up through the roof. Birds nest in these. Lint builds around the nest. The blockage is invisible from the ground until your dryer overheats.
- Undersized original duct in pre-war homes. Oak Cliff and East Dallas bungalows often have 3-inch galvanized runs installed before modern dryers existed. These cannot handle the airflow today’s machines require, and lint compacts in the restricted space.
- Long horizontal runs with improper slope. Slab-on-grade construction in newer Dallas suburbs sometimes creates runs with sagging low points. Moist lint settles there, hardens, and gradually chokes airflow until drying times double or triple.

Several factors push Dallas jobs toward the higher end: roof-terminated runs requiring ladder or roof access, attics that exceed safe working temperatures in July and August (we schedule these early morning), and older homes with galvanized duct that needs careful handling to avoid damage. We tell you where your system falls before we start.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Dallas
Once a year for most Dallas homes, and every six months if you do multiple loads daily or have a long attic run. The combination of high humidity and 140°F attic temperatures compresses lint faster here than in drier, cooler climates. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule an inspection and we’ll tell you whether your specific system can stretch longer or needs more frequent attention.
No. We charge one flat price per dryer vent system, agreed in writing before any work starts. The price does not change based on how many turns the duct takes, whether it terminates at a roof jack or wall cap, or how much lint we find. Per-vent pricing is a common bait-and-switch tactic in this trade. We don’t do it.
Restricted airflow, almost always from lint buildup or a crushed duct section. In Dallas, the most common hidden cause is a blocked roof jack or a flex duct compressed in a hot attic. The dryer works harder, runs longer, and overheats. A camera inspection finds the exact location. Most cleanings restore single-cycle drying immediately.
Yes. We clean commercial systems in restaurants, laundromats, hotels, and multi-family buildings throughout Dallas. Commercial jobs use larger equipment, require code-compliant documentation, and must handle heavier lint loads from continuous operation. Typical commercial dryer vent cleaning in Dallas runs $250 – $600. We schedule after-hours or during slow periods to minimize disruption.
The full lint pathway from dryer connection to termination point, documented with camera footage. We check for lint buildup, crushed or disconnected flex duct, improper slope, bird nests, damaged caps, and backdraft damper function. You receive the footage, a written condition report, and a flat-price quote for any recommended cleaning or repairs. The inspection itself takes 20 – 30 minutes.
