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 Air Duct Cleaning Across Clarkston
Air duct cleaning in Clarkston, GA typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole residential system, with most jobs completed in a single visit and a written price agreed before any work starts. Hollis Air Duct Cleaning dispatches crews to Clarkston from our Atlanta office, and we’ve built our schedule around the reality of this market: aging apartment complexes off Indian Creek Drive, converted ranch homes near Montreal Road, and the humid Georgia climate that keeps HVAC systems running nearly year-round. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate – we’ll price it in writing before we touch a single grille.
Our Air Duct Cleaning team knows Clarkston’s housing stock. We’ve worked in the low-rise brick complexes where original galvanized ductwork from the 1970s sags in the crawlspace, and in the small ranch homes converted to multi-family rentals with flex duct patched over so many times it’s more tape than tube. That local knowledge matters because standard cleaning quotes – the kind that assume one system per house and separate exhaust vents – break down fast here.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Clarkston’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been in business since 2004 as part of the Garrison Partners family, and our 365-Day Done Right Promise applies to every job in Clarkston. If the work fails within a year, we come back and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. That’s not a verbal assurance; it’s written on every invoice.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. You know who’s walking into your home before they arrive. 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 scheduling question.
We price in writing before any work starts. The number on the page doesn’t move at the door. In a market where bait-and-switch is common, that discipline is why Clarkston property managers and homeowners call us back.
We serve Clarkston with equipment that matches what commercial crews use: Rotobrush rotary brush systems for mechanical agitation, Nikro negative-air machines for source removal, and filtration products from Honeywell and Guardsman. We explain what each tool does and why we’re using it on your system.
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Clarkston
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Clarkston covers the low-rise apartment complexes, small retail spaces, and converted multi-family properties that dominate this market. A typical commercial job in Clarkston runs $800 – $2,500 depending on system count, duct material, and whether we find code violations like illegally tied-in exhaust vents that need correction before cleaning can be effective. Most Clarkston commercial properties need cleaning every 2 – 3 years, though complexes with high tenant turnover and original 1970s – 80s ductwork may need annual service to stay ahead of debris buildup.
Multi-System Properties
Many Clarkston apartment buildings have two or three air handlers feeding shared ductwork. We count every system and price per system, not per building. A quote that treats a three-handler property as one house misses two-thirds of the work and leaves debris cycling through the returns.
Code Correction During Cleaning
In the apartment clusters off Indian Creek Drive, we regularly find dryer vents and bathroom exhausts illegally tied into central return ductwork. We cut those tie-ins out, re-route exhaust to the exterior, then clean what’s left. That correction is part of the job, not an add-on discovered at the door.
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Clarkston
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Clarkston include full-system source removal using negative-air method and rotary brush agitation, video inspection of duct runs, and duct sealing with mastic where gaps are found. A typical residential job in Clarkston runs $350 – $650 for a single-system home, $700 – $1,200 for properties with two or more systems. Most single-family jobs take 3 – 5 hours; multi-system apartment work can run a full day if code corrections are needed.
Video Inspection and Documentation
We run a camera through your ductwork before and after cleaning. You get timestamped photos or video showing what was in there and what’s gone. In Clarkston’s rental market, that documentation protects your security deposit or proves to a property manager that the work happened.
Supply and Return Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts push conditioned air to your rooms; returns pull it back. Both need cleaning, but returns in Clarkston apartments often collect the most debris because they’re the path of least resistance for lint, moisture, and whatever the last tenant tracked in. We clean both, and we check the return plenum for illegal tie-ins while we’re in there.

Trusted Brands We Service in Clarkston
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems for breaking loose caked-on debris inside galvanized and flex ductwork, Nikro negative-air machines that pull contaminants out of the system rather than pushing them into your living space, and filtration and sealing products from Honeywell, Guardsman, and Abatement Technologies. We stock parts and materials locally through our Atlanta office, so if we find a torn flex duct or failed seal during a Clarkston job, we can fix it same day without a return trip. That’s the difference between professional-grade gear and hardware-store equipment: the job gets done once, done right, and documented.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Clarkston Homes
- Illegal exhaust tie-ins in apartment returns. In the 1970s brick complexes off Indian Creek Drive and along Montreal Road, dryer vents and bathroom exhausts are often tee’d straight into the central return trunk. That coats the blower motor and supply ducts with lint, and it pumps moisture back into the system where humidity already runs high.
- Sagged, tape-patched flex duct in crawlspaces. Original flex duct from the 1980s loses its structural support over decades of Georgia heat and tenant turnover. It sags, traps debris in low spots, and gets patched with whatever tape was handy. Cleaning without agitation tools or camera verification leaves that debris right where it is.
- Multi-system properties quoted as single-system jobs. Clarkston’s converted ranch homes and split apartments often have two or three air handlers. A per-house quote cleans one system and ignores the others. We count handlers and price per system so the quote matches the work.
- Mold and mildew in air handlers from year-round humidity. Hot, humid Georgia summers mean HVAC systems in Clarkston run almost constantly. Dirty ducts plus moisture equals microbial growth. Cleaning addresses the debris that feeds it; we flag active mold for remediation before sealing the system back up.

What moves the price: number of air handlers, duct material and condition, accessibility (crawlspace vs. basement), whether code corrections like illegal exhaust tie-ins need cutting out and re-routing, and how long it’s been since the last cleaning. A system that hasn’t been touched in 20 years takes longer than one on a three-year cycle. We give you one flat price per system, agreed in writing, before any work starts. No per-vent pricing. No teaser coupon that balloons at the door. Call (361) 326-5060 for an exact quote – estimates are free.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Clarkston
Yes. Musty smells that persist after filter changes usually point to debris, moisture, or mold inside the ductwork itself. In Clarkston’s older apartment complexes, we often find the real source is an illegally tied-in dryer vent or bathroom exhaust pumping lint and humidity straight into the return duct. We cut those tie-ins out, clean the system under negative pressure, and document the before and after. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule an inspection.
We charge per system, not per house. Clarkston’s converted multi-family rentals and older apartment complexes often have two or three air handlers feeding shared ductwork. A per-house quote would miss most of the work. We count every handler, price each one in writing, and clean every run that serves your unit. Call (361) 326-5060 for a count and quote on your property.
Hot, humid Georgia summers keep Clarkston HVAC systems running nearly year-round, and that same humidity feeds mold and mildew inside dirty ducts and air handlers. Cleaning removes the debris that moisture clings to; without it, you’re circulating musty air every time the blower kicks on. We flag active microbial growth when we see it and recommend remediation before sealing the system. Call (361) 326-5060 if you smell mildew when the AC runs.
You should receive timestamped before-and-after photos or video from a camera inspection, a written invoice showing exactly what was cleaned and what was corrected, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. In Clarkston’s rental market, that documentation proves to property managers that work happened and protects your security deposit. We provide all three on every job. Call (361) 326-5060 to book a documented cleaning.
