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.

Brentwood’s housing stock is dominated by 1990s-2020s two-story stucco homes on post-tension slab foundations, nearly all with flex-duct runs through attics that hit 130°F+ in July and August. Those systems are now 15-25 years old. The combination of age, heat, and expansive clay soils that shift beneath slab-on-grade homes means we routinely find more than dust when we open a return grille here. We’re familiar with neighborhoods from Taramore to Brenthaven to Fountainbrooke, and we know what separates a proper Brentwood duct job from a vacuum-and-go routine.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Brentwood’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been part of the Garrison Partners family since 2004, and our Brentwood work is built on The Garrison Standard: written prices, written guarantees, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise that competitors rarely put in writing. When a Brentwood homeowner calls (361) 326-5060, a live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No voicemail loops. No callback queues.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. You know who’s walking into your home before they arrive. The price we write down before any work starts does not move at the door. If the work 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 terms on every Hollis invoice in Brentwood.
We don’t compete on the lowest teaser price. We compete on discipline: show up when we said, price it before we touch it, do it by the book, leave the site clean. Brentwood homeowners between 35 and 65 have typically dealt with no-shows, prices that jumped once the van was in the driveway, or crews who left a mess and disappeared. We built this company for customers who are done with that.
Ductwork Cleaning in Brentwood
Ductwork Cleaning in Brentwood means source removal of dust, soil particles, and biological buildup from the entire forced-air system, not just blowing debris around with a shop vacuum. Because Brentwood’s hot, dry summers pull Delta-influenced dust directly into return grilles and the rare wet winters push rodent activity into attic duct chases, a proper cleaning here requires negative-air containment and rotary brush agitation, not surface wiping. A typical residential ductwork cleaning in Brentwood runs $350 – $550 for a single-system home, with whole-home systems up to $650. We use Rotobrush rotary brush systems under Nikro negative-air pressure to keep dislodged debris from escaping into your living space during the job.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts push conditioned air into your rooms. In Brentwood’s two-story stucco homes, we often find supply boots in the attic have pulled away from the ceiling drywall as the slab foundation shifts with seasonal groundwater changes. Our supply duct cleaning includes visual inspection of every boot connection, and we flag separations before they become full disconnections.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the air handler, and in Brentwood they collect the most debris because they’re the intake point. The dry summer air here carries fine clay soil particles that settle in return trunks. We clean the full return path, including the plenum connection at the air handler, where separations from foundation movement are most common.
Air Duct Inspection in Brentwood
Air Duct Inspection in Brentwood is often the first step that reveals why a home has weak airflow, uneven temperatures, or rising energy bills despite a recently serviced HVAC unit. Using video inspection cameras, we document the interior condition of supply and return ducts, locate disconnected boots, identify rodent entry points, and measure particulate buildup depth. A standalone video inspection in Brentwood typically costs $150 – $250, and we apply that fee toward the cleaning if you proceed. The inspection is particularly valuable here because Brentwood’s slab-on-grade tract homes commonly hide duct separations that no filter change or coil cleaning can fix.
Video Documentation
Our inspection cameras record 1080p video of your duct interior, saved to a drive you keep. In Brentwood’s 15-25 year old systems, we typically find a half-inch to two inches of accumulated dust at return bends, plus the disconnected joints that explain why the second floor never cools properly. You see what we see. No guesswork.
System Assessment Report
After inspection, we provide a written report with photographs, recommended work scope, and a single flat price for the entire system. Not per vent. Not per register. One price for the job, agreed before we start. In Brentwood, that price typically ranges from $350 for a straightforward cleaning to $650 when reconnection and sealing work is needed.
Trusted Brands We Service in Brentwood
We carry professional-grade equipment and filtration products from Aprilaire, Abatement Technologies, and Guardsman, with parts stocked for fast turnaround on Brentwood jobs. Our Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines are the same tools commercial crews use in hospitals and schools, not hardware-store gear. For filtration upgrades after cleaning, we install Aprilaire media air cleaners and Guardsman UV systems that mount at the air handler to reduce biological growth in Brentwood’s humid shoulder seasons. If your system needs a component we don’t stock, our Memphis dispatch coordinates next-day delivery to keep your job on schedule.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Brentwood Homes
- Disconnected flex-duct boots in the attic. In Taramore, Brenthaven, and Fountainbrooke, we regularly find flex-duct boots that have pulled completely away from ceiling registers because the slab foundation shifted with clay soil contraction. The homeowner thinks they need more refrigerant; they need a reconnection and seal.
- Plenum separations at the air handler. The sheet-metal plenum where return air enters the furnace or air handler separates from the unit cabinet as the house settles. This pulls hot attic air into the system in summer and wastes conditioned air year-round. We find this in roughly one of three Brentwood slab homes over 15 years old.
- Rodent activity in attic duct chases. Brentwood’s rare wet winters drive rodents into attic spaces, and flex duct is easy to breach. We find droppings, nesting material, and chewed duct liner that requires section replacement, not just cleaning. Our inspection identifies this before we quote.
- Per-vent pricing bait-and-switch. A 15-year-old Brentwood two-story with 14 registers gets quoted $39 per vent over the phone, then invoiced at $550-plus once the technician is inside. We quote one flat price per system, always in writing, before we start. No per-vent math. No surprises at the door.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Brentwood, TN
A typical residential air duct cleaning in Brentwood runs $350 – $550 for a single HVAC system with 8-12 registers. Whole-home systems with dual units or 14-plus registers range from $500 – $650. Commercial duct cleaning in Brentwood office parks and retail spaces starts around $800 and scales with system complexity. What moves the price: the number of HVAC systems, accessibility of attic ductwork, presence of rodent damage requiring section replacement, and whether disconnected joints need reconnection and sealing with mastic.
We do not quote per-vent pricing. Ever. One flat price per system, written down before any work starts. That price includes the full cleaning, HEPA-filtered negative-air containment, before-and-after photographs of your ducts, and our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work fails within a year, we return at no charge, including a free second visit. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate. Estimates are free. The price we write down is the price you pay.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Brentwood
Every 5 to 7 years for most Brentwood homes, or after any renovation, rodent activity, or water intrusion event. The dry Delta-influenced air here pulls more dust into returns than humid coastal climates, but aggressive annual cleaning is usually unnecessary unless you have specific contamination. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll tell you honestly whether your system needs it now or can wait.
Because Brentwood’s expansive clay soils shift as groundwater draws down in the dry season, slab-on-grade homes here commonly pull duct joints apart at the plenum and boot. A homeowner calls for cleaning because of weak airflow; we find a disconnected boot that needs reconnection and sealing before cleaning is even worthwhile. We document this with video, explain it in plain terms, and quote the full repair-and-clean scope as one flat price before we start.
Complete source-removal cleaning of all supply and return ducts, registers, and grilles using rotary brush agitation under negative-air containment; video inspection before and after; HEPA filtration during the job; reconnection and sealing of minor separations we find; and before-and-after photographs of your own ducts. One price. No per-vent add-ons. Call (361) 326-5060 for your system’s exact flat price.
We do not promise same-day service. Duct cleaning is a scheduled job that requires proper equipment loading, adequate time on site, and preparation of your home for negative-air containment. We book specific arrival windows and arrive inside them. Rush jobs compromise the containment setup and the quality of the work. We won’t do that.
Yes. Every Brentwood job includes dated before-and-after photographs of your duct interior, taken with our inspection camera and provided to you digitally. These are your ducts, not stock photos from a marketing folder. If a company shows you generic “before and after” images that aren’t your system, ask why.
