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.

Bee Cave isn’t like other Texas markets. The homes here are newer, larger, and built tighter than the regional average. That changes what duct cleaning means. In a 1980s ranch in Houston, you’re clearing decades of accumulated dust. In a 2015 build off Bee Cave Parkway, you’re often verifying that a complex zoned system is actually moving the right air to the right rooms, because when those systems fall out of balance in our humid subtropical climate, you get moisture problems, hot spots, and the kind of hidden mold that doesn’t announce itself until your energy bill spikes or someone starts coughing.
We’ve worked in Falconhead, Spanish Oaks, and the newer sections near the Hill Country Galleria enough to know the patterns. Long duct runs through unconditioned attics where summer temperatures crack 140°F. Return pulls positioned right where cedar pollen loads peak in January and February. Zoned systems that were commissioned once and never checked again. That’s the local knowledge that shapes how we approach a Bee Cave job, and it’s why we don’t quote blind over the phone without asking about your home’s age, zone count, and whether you’ve noticed temperature swings between rooms.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Bee Cave’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been in business since 2004 as part of the Garrison Partners family, and that track record matters in a market where competitors come and go. Our Austin office dispatches crews to Bee Cave regularly, so we’re not figuring out your neighborhood from a GPS app on the way over. We know which gated communities require vendor registration, which lots have the limestone substrate that complicates exterior vent access, and which builders in the area used the flex-duct configurations that need special handling.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, operating under The Garrison Standard. That means arriving inside the quoted window, pricing in writing before any equipment touches your system, and leaving the site clean. Every 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. No negotiation, no runaround.
Phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No voicemail loops, no “leave a message and we’ll call back Monday.” When you’re ready to schedule, you’ll talk to someone who can actually book your appointment.
Air Duct Inspection in Bee Cave
Air Duct Inspection in Bee Cave is where every honest job starts, because in this market you can’t assume the problem is what the homeowner thinks it is. Our technician arrives with a written price for the inspection itself, runs a video camera through your supply and return lines, and documents what we’re actually dealing with: dust load, moisture staining, disconnected joints, degraded flex duct, or mold growth in the plenum. In Bee Cave’s newer high-performance homes, we also measure static pressure and zone airflow to spot commissioning issues that masquerade as dirty ducts. A standalone inspection runs $150 – $250; if you proceed with cleaning, we credit that toward the full job.
Video Documentation
We record everything the camera sees and show it to you before we quote any additional work. In Bee Cave’s gated communities, we’ve found that homeowners appreciate this transparency because they’ve often been sold services they didn’t need by crews who never proved the problem existed. You’ll see your own ducts, not a stock photo from someone else’s dirty system.
Pressure and Flow Testing
For homes with zoned HVAC, we test whether each zone is receiving its design airflow. In Spanish Oaks and Falconhead, we’ve caught numerous cases where dampers were stuck or duct runs were undersized from the original build, causing rooms that never cool properly despite “clean” ducts. Fixing the real problem saves you from paying for duct cleaning that won’t solve the symptom.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Bee Cave
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Bee Cave means addressing the specific conditions this Hill Country environment creates: year-round HVAC operation that keeps ducts moist, cedar pollen loads that clog returns, and tight building envelopes that trap whatever gets inside. We use Rotobrush rotary brush systems for mechanical agitation inside the duct walls, paired with Nikro negative-air machines that pull dislodged debris out of your home entirely rather than redistributing it. A typical single-system home in Bee Cave runs $350 – $550; larger homes with multiple zones or extensive flex-duct runs range $500 – $850. Every price is written and agreed before we start.
Whole-System Approach
We clean supply ducts, return ducts, trunk lines, and plenums as one integrated system. In Bee Cave’s larger homes, skipping the returns because they’re “harder to reach” is common with cut-rate outfits, but that’s where your cedar pollen and attic fiberglass concentrate. We don’t skip them, and we show you the before-and-after photos to prove it.
Post-Clean Verification
After agitation and extraction, we run a final video pass and airflow check. In homes near the Hill Country Galleria where attic temperatures have degraded flex duct, we’ll flag sections that need replacement or sealing. We also offer Duct Sealing in Bee Cave for systems with significant leakage, which is often the real efficiency killer.
Trusted Brands We Service in Bee Cave
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines for the mechanical work, plus filtration and sealing products from Aprilaire, Abatement Technologies, and Guardsman. These aren’t hardware-store tools; they’re the same systems commercial crews use in hospitals and schools, sized appropriately for residential ductwork. For Bee Cave homeowners, this means we can source replacement components and filtration upgrades without the delays that come from ordering unfamiliar parts. If your system uses Aprilaire media filters or you want to upgrade to a Guardsman-rated enclosure after cleaning, we stock the hardware and install it during the same visit.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Bee Cave Homes
- Cedar pollen saturation in return ducts. Bee Cave’s winter and spring cedar counts are among the highest in Central Texas, and those fine particles load up return grilles and trunk lines. Homeowners often mistake the resulting congestion for a dirty filter when the entire return path needs cleaning.
- Moisture and mold in flex-duct runs. The humid subtropical climate here means HVAC systems rarely get a long rest, and condensation builds in unconditioned attics. We’ve found hidden mold in the original ductwork of custom homes built in the 1990s and early 2000s, especially where long flex runs sag between supports.
- Fiberglass particle distribution from degraded duct. On the west side of Bee Cave near the Hill Country Galleria, summer attic temperatures exceeding 140°F break down flex-duct lining over time. The resulting fiberglass particles blow through supply vents and settle on surfaces homeowners keep cleaning without finding the source.
- Zoned system imbalance masquerading as dirty ducts. Newer high-performance homes in gated communities like Falconhead have complex zoning that was never properly commissioned or has drifted over years. Rooms that won’t hold temperature often get blamed on “dirty ducts” when the real issue is pressure imbalance or stuck dampers.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Bee Cave, TX
Here’s what honest pricing looks like for this market. A single-zone residential system in Bee Cave typically runs $350 – $550. Multi-zone homes or properties with extensive flex-duct runs through unconditioned attics range $500 – $850. Commercial duct cleaning starts around $800 and scales with system complexity. Standalone video inspection is $150 – $250, credited toward cleaning if you proceed.
What moves you within these ranges? Number of HVAC zones, total linear feet of ductwork, accessibility (crawl space vs. attic vs. conditioned chase), and whether we find conditions that need addressing before cleaning makes sense, like disconnected ducts or active mold that requires remediation first. We don’t quote teaser prices that balloon at the door. The price is written down before any work starts, and it does not move.
Every estimate is free. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll ask the right questions about your Bee Cave home to give you a real number, not a guess.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Bee Cave
Most Bee Cave appointments are scheduled within 2 – 4 business days, and our Austin dispatch office routes crews to your area regularly. Call (361) 326-5060 for current availability; we’ll give you a specific date and arrival window, not a vague “sometime next week.”
Yes, we serve Falconhead, Spanish Oaks, and the newer developments near the Hill Country Galleria, plus all other Bee Cave neighborhoods. Our technicians are registered with the major gated community vendors, so we can access your property without you waiting at the gate to escort us in.
We don’t treat duct cleaning as an emergency service because it’s a scheduled, methodical job that requires proper equipment setup and time to do right. However, our phones are answered by a live person 24/7, and if you’re dealing with an urgent situation like visible mold or a system failure, we’ll get you on the schedule as fast as possible and advise on immediate steps.
Bee Cave pricing is comparable to the broader Austin metro, though the larger home sizes and multi-zone systems common here often push jobs toward the higher end of our range. A 3,500-square-foot home in Spanish Oaks with three zones takes longer than a 1,800-square-foot ranch in South Austin. We price by the system, not by square footage, so you pay for the work your specific home requires.
Every job is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If the work fails within a year, Hollis returns and makes it right at no charge, including a free second visit. This applies to all Bee Cave jobs and isn’t negotiated or added on; it’s standard on every invoice we write.
