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 Duct Sealing Across Westgate
Westgate’s slab-on-grade ranch homes from the 1950s through 1970s weren’t built with airtight ductwork in mind. Decades of sugar-sand infiltration, Gulf humidity, and near-constant AC cycling have opened gaps at joints, registers, and flex-duct connections that your cooling system works overtime to overcome. We’re the Duct Sealing crew that knows these houses, and we dispatch to Westgate from our Miami office with technicians who’ve sealed ducts in the same postwar neighborhoods you’re living in. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll put a written price in front of you before any work starts.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Westgate’s Preferred Duct Sealing Company
We’ve been sealing ducts in Palm Beach County since 2004, and the Garrison Partners family has built a reputation in Westgate on showing up inside the window and pricing in writing. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and accountable, not day-labor pickups from a parking lot.
Westgate homeowners call us back because we understand their specific housing stock. The concrete-block ranches off Forest Hill Boulevard and the original flex-duct runs in neighborhoods near the Westgate Recreation Center have quirks that out-of-town crews miss. We’ve found sand drifts inside trunk lines within sight of the Westgate Community Center, and we’ve sealed moisture-compromised joints in homes a short walk from the Westgate Park ball fields.
Phones get answered by a live person, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No voicemail loops, no callback queues. When you schedule Duct Sealing in Westgate, you get a real arrival window and a crew that knows the difference between a 1962 ranch on slab and a retrofitted townhome near the Turnpike interchange.
Every repair carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If the seal fails within a year, we return and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. That’s not a slogan. It’s the standard we operate under.
Air Duct Sealing in Westgate
Air Duct Sealing in Westgate means closing the gaps, cracks, and disconnected joints in your forced-air system that let cooled air escape into your attic, crawl space, or the concrete void beneath your slab. In this market, we typically see 15 – 30% air loss in homes built before 1980, which translates to rooms that never cool evenly and utility bills that climb through the summer. A typical duct sealing job in Westgate runs $450 – $850 for a single-system home, with whole-house multi-system work reaching $1,200 – $1,800 depending on accessibility and the condition of existing flex duct.
How We Find the Leaks
We pressurize your duct system and use calibrated detection equipment to map every loss point, including the small gaps at register boots that most homeowners never see. In Westgate’s older homes, we regularly find disconnected flex-duct runs buried in attic insulation where the original tape has dried and failed.
What We Seal With
Our crews use duct sealing mastic, a thick, fiber-reinforced compound that remains flexible and bonds to metal, fiberglass, and flex-duct materials. For accessible main trunk lines, we may apply metal-backed tape rated for high-humidity environments, the same approach we use in commercial installations.
Duct Sealing Services in Westgate
Duct Sealing Services in Westgate cover everything from spot repairs at single registers to complete system resealing for homes with chronic efficiency problems. Most Westgate homeowners first notice they need us when a bedroom stays hot, the electric bill jumps $80 – $150 in summer, or they feel weak airflow despite a running blower. Our standard service includes system pressurization testing, leak mapping, manual sealing of accessible joints, and a post-repair verification test to confirm improvement. For homes near the western edge of Westgate where Gulf winds drive sand against outdoor intake vents, we also inspect and seal the connection points where exterior air enters the system.
Register and Boot Sealing
The metal collar where your floor or ceiling register meets the duct is a common failure point in slab homes. We remove each register, seal the boot-to-duct joint with mastic, and reinstall with proper support so the connection doesn’t flex and crack again.
Flex-Duct Repair and Replacement
When Westgate’s humidity has degraded flex-duct insulation or sand abrasion has worn through the inner liner, sealing alone won’t hold. We replace damaged sections with new insulated flex duct and seal all connections, backed by the same 365-Day Done Right Promise.

Trusted Brands We Service in Westgate
Our equipment roster includes professional-grade tools from Rotobrush and Nikro, plus filtration and sealing products from Abatement Technologies and Guardsman. We don’t run to the hardware store for tape and caulk. The mastic compounds and metal-backed tapes we apply in Westgate homes are rated for the humidity and temperature swings these attics see, and we stock replacement flex-duct and register boots sized for the smaller diameter lines common in 1960s construction. That means most Westgate jobs finish in a single visit without waiting on parts.
Common Duct Sealing Problems We See in Westgate Homes
- Sand infiltration at register joints. Westgate’s sugar-sand soil gets wind-driven against exterior walls and finds its way through gaps between the register boot and the floor slab. We regularly find fine sand packed around duct connections that have been leaking for years.
- Failed tape in humid attics. The original duct tape applied in 1960s and 1970s Westgate homes turns brittle and releases in our subtropical attic temperatures. We remove the old adhesive residue and apply mastic that stays flexible when the mercury climbs.
- Sagging flex-duct in slab homes with limited attic space. Westgate’s single-story ranches often have tight, hot attics where flex duct was draped over framing without proper support. The sag creates low spots where condensation pools and leaks form at stress points.
- Moisture damage from year-round AC cycling. Because Westgate systems run almost constantly from April through October, duct interiors stay damp and promote biological growth at any gap. Sealing stops the air loss that pulls humid attic air into the system and makes the problem worse.
Pricing for Duct Sealing in Westgate, FL
Most single-system duct sealing jobs in Westgate fall between $450 and $850. Whole-home work on larger properties or homes with multiple air handlers typically runs $1,200 – $1,800. What moves you within that range: how much of the ductwork is accessible, whether we’re repairing or replacing degraded flex duct, and how many register boots need individual attention. We don’t quote per-vent or per-linear-foot teaser prices that balloon once we’re inside. We inspect, we write the full price, and you approve it before any sealing begins.
