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.

Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Buda’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Buda homeowners aren’t looking for the cheapest coupon in the mail. They’re looking for a crew that shows up, does what they said they’d do, and stands behind it. That’s The Garrison Standard, and it’s how we operate in every home we enter.
We answer our phones with a live person, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No voicemail loops, no callback queues, no waiting until Monday to schedule. When you call (361) 326-5060, you talk to someone who can book your appointment.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. You know who’s walking into your home before they arrive. They carry professional-grade Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines, the same equipment commercial crews use, and they explain what they’re doing in plain terms while they work.
Every job gets a written price before we start, and every job is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise. 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.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Buda
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Buda covers the complete supply and return duct network in your home, from the air handler cabinet through every register and grille. In Buda’s housing market, this means very different challenges depending on whether you live in a new Sunfield build or an older ranch-style home along Main Street near the historic downtown core. A typical whole-house residential duct cleaning in Buda runs $350 – $650, with add-on services like video inspection or duct sealing quoted separately in writing before work begins.
New-Build Contamination
Most Buda homeowners assume a two-year-old home has clean ducts. It doesn’t. We regularly find construction debris, drywall dust, and framing sawdust still sitting in the supply and return ducts of Sunfield and Garlic Creek homes because the builder never flushed the system at completion. Our rotary brush system and negative-air method pull this material out at the source rather than pushing it deeper into the system.
Older Duct Restoration
Homes near downtown Buda and along the older ranch properties often have original sheet-metal ductwork from decades past. These systems accumulate genuine household dust, pet dander, and pollen, but they also suffer from disconnected seams, rust spots, and failed tape seals. We clean first, then inspect with a camera to show you what the inside actually looks like.
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Buda
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Buda serves the retail spaces, medical offices, restaurants, and light industrial facilities along I-35 and the growing commercial corridors near Cabela’s and the Buda Mill & Grain development. These systems move significantly more air volume than residential units, often run on rooftop package units with rigid metal trunk lines, and must comply with stricter indoor air quality standards. A typical commercial duct cleaning in Buda starts around $800 – $1,500 for smaller systems and scales based on square footage, access difficulty, and contamination level. We quote every commercial job in person after a walk-through, with the price written down before any equipment is moved inside.
Restaurant and Food Service
Grease-laden vent hoods and makeup air systems in Buda’s restaurant row need scheduled cleaning that goes beyond standard duct maintenance. We coordinate with your hood-cleaning schedule to minimize downtime and keep your documentation current for health department inspections.
Office and Medical
Medical offices and professional buildings in Buda require particulate control during cleaning. Our negative-air method creates contained suction at the work site so dislodged debris doesn’t migrate into occupied spaces. We schedule around patient hours and provide before-and-after photo documentation for your records.
Trusted Brands We Service in Buda
Hollis technicians carry professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush and Nikro on every Buda job, and we stock filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman for replacement and upgrade work. This isn’t hardware-store gear. A Rotobrush rotary brush system spins a powered brush through the duct run while a Nikro negative-air machine creates suction at the collection point, pulling loosened debris into a HEPA-filtered containment unit. For Buda homeowners dealing with cedar fever season or construction dust, we can recommend and install Guardsman media filters or Honeywell electronic air cleaners matched to your system’s airflow capacity. Parts and filters are stocked locally, so if we find a failed component during cleaning, we can often replace it same visit rather than ordering and rescheduling.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Buda Homes
- Construction debris in nearly new Sunfield and Garlic Creek homes. Drywall dust, framing sawdust, and even discarded fastener wrappers sit in flex ducts because builders rarely flush the HVAC system after final inspection. The homeowner smells it when the system first fires up, then forgets about it until allergies flare.
- Crushed or disconnected flex runs in unconditioned attics. Buda’s slab-on-grade construction puts flex duct in 140°F summer attics where heat degradation and minor settlement can separate collars or pinch runs flat behind drywall chases. The register still blows air, just not enough to condition the room.
- Cedar fever pollen loading return ducts every winter. Ashe juniper pollen from the surrounding Hill Country ranch land enters return-air systems from December through February and adheres to duct walls, becoming a year-round allergen reservoir that filtration alone cannot address.
- Condensation and mold in R-8 insulated flex duct. Central Texas humidity combined with attic temperatures exceeding 140°F degrades the vapor barrier on newer Buda flex duct, allowing moisture to reach the fiberglass insulation and creating musty odors that circulate through the supply system.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Buda
Yes, and this is one of the most common calls we get from Buda homeowners. Most Sunfield and Garlic Creek homes were never properly flushed after construction, so drywall dust, framing debris, and fastener wrappers remain in the flex ducts and air handler cabinet. We were called to a two-year-old Sunfield home where the master bedroom never felt cool despite a new 16-SEER system; camera inspection showed the supply run crushed flat behind a drywall return chase and a disconnected flex collar at the trunk. Our tech reconnected and sealed the collar with mastic, re-routed the crushed run, and pulled roughly two cups of drywall dust and framing sawdust out of the air handler cabinet and blower motor housing. Supply registers in the back bedrooms went from a weak trickle to full flow – the homeowner said it was the first time the room had actually cooled since move-in. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free inspection.
Source removal means we physically dislodge and extract debris from inside the ductwork rather than spraying a chemical or pushing material deeper into the system. Our Rotobrush system spins a powered brush through each run while a Nikro negative-air machine pulls the loosened material into a HEPA-filtered containment unit. For Buda homes dealing with cedar fever pollen or construction dust, this is the only method that actually removes the source of contamination rather than masking it. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule.
Buda’s combination of 140°F summer attic temperatures and Central Texas humidity degrades the vapor barrier on R-8 insulated flex duct, allowing moisture to reach the fiberglass insulation. The duct sags under its own increased weight, reducing airflow, and the trapped moisture creates musty odors that circulate through your supply registers. Cleaning alone won’t fix this; we inspect during service and can quote duct replacement or sealing if the vapor barrier has failed. Call (361) 326-5060 for an evaluation.
Yes. Ashe juniper pollen from December through February enters your return-air system and adheres to duct walls, where it becomes a reservoir that circulates year-round regardless of whether you personally experience allergy symptoms. The pollen also attracts moisture and can support microbial growth on dust particles already in the duct. Even non-allergic homeowners notice improved airflow and less household dust after source removal cleaning. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Yes. We clean commercial duct systems in retail, medical, restaurant, and light industrial facilities throughout Buda, including properties near Cabela’s and the Buda Mill & Grain development. Commercial systems use larger rigid metal trunk lines and rooftop package units, and we quote these jobs after an on-site walk-through with the price written down before work begins. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule a commercial assessment.
