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.

AfterWhy Franchisees Choose Hollis Air Duct Cleaning
Since 2004, Hollis Air Duct Cleaning has been part of the Garrison Partners family, and the model hasn’t changed much since day one: put the price in writing before any work starts, do the job by the book, and stand behind it for a full year. Franchisees pick Hollis because the systems are already proven, the equipment list is already settled, and the name means something when a homeowner answers the door. You don’t spend your first year figuring out what works. You spend it booking jobs.
The Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Advantage
Brand Recognition That Opens Doors
Hollis carries the Garrison Partners name, which means homeowners hear it and know the work comes with rules attached. The Garrison Standard isn’t a vague promise. It’s four requirements: arrive inside the quoted window, price in writing, complete the job by the book, leave the site clean. When your technician shows up in a Hollis uniform, the homeowner already knows what to expect. That saves you the hardest part of any sale: establishing trust before you’ve done a single thing.
Operational Playbook, Not Guesswork
The 365-Day Done Right Promise is the backbone of the business. Every repair and cleaning is covered in writing for a full year. If it fails, Hollis comes back at no charge, including a free second visit, and that’s not negotiated. It’s the standard. Franchisees plug into a process where pricing, execution, follow-up, and warranty handling are already documented. You learn the trade the right way instead of inventing one.
Professional-Grade Equipment From Day One
Hollis runs Rotobrush rotary brush systems, Nikro negative-air machines, and filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, Abatement Technologies, and Guardsman. That’s the same category of gear commercial crews use, not hardware-store equipment. For a franchisee, the vendor relationships and equipment standards are already established. You get access to the right tools without spending months testing what holds up and what doesn’t.
Lead Generation Infrastructure
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. For a franchisee, that’s a lead-capture system that works while you’re on a job site or asleep. The marketing and booking engine exists before you ever sign a lease. You’re not building a call center. You’re running jobs and growing a book of business.
Vendor Pricing and Buying Power
Because Hollis is part of Garrison Partners, franchisees benefit from established supplier relationships and volume pricing on the equipment and filtration products the brand runs. You aren’t negotiating as a single operator. You step into a network that has already sorted the procurement side, which means your margins look different from someone hanging a shingle with a rented van and a consumer vacuum.
Coaching and Ongoing Support
The Garrison Code is the day-to-day operating system: show up inside the window we gave, price in writing before work starts, do the job by the book the first time, leave the site clean and squared away, and stand behind the work for a full year. Franchisees aren’t handed a binder and left alone. There’s a standard, there’s a playbook, and there’s a team that knows how air duct cleaning should be run. When something goes sideways, you’re not the first person to face it.
Independent vs. Franchised
Going independent means you decide everything, and you also pay for everything you get wrong. You test equipment. You figure out pricing by trial and error. You learn what to charge after you’ve already undercharged. You build a reputation from zero, one job at a time, with no name behind you when a homeowner opens the door. That’s a real path, and some people make it work. But it’s slow, and the mistakes come out of your own pocket.
Franchising with Hollis means you step into a system that has been running since 2004. The brand is established. The equipment list is settled. The warranty language is written. The pricing model is in place: a written price before any work starts, no estimates that balloon once the technician is inside. The technicians are background-checked and uniformed, which matters when you’re sending people into homes. And the phones are answered by a live person around the clock, which means you don’t lose a week’s worth of leads because you were on a roof or in a crawlspace.
The honest tradeoff is this: you give up some control to get the playbook, the brand, and the buying power. For most people who want to own an air duct cleaning business, that’s a good trade. You’re not buying a logo. You’re buying the years of mistakes Hollis already made so you don’t have to.
