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 Fate
Air duct cleaning in Fate, TX typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system and is usually scheduled within a few business days. Our crews dispatch from the Dallas-Fort Worth office and carry the same Rotobrush and Nikro equipment we use on commercial jobs throughout Rockwall County.
We know Fate well. We’ve cleaned ducts in Paloma Creek, Williamsburg, and the newer subdivisions off FM 551. The housing boom here means most of our calls aren’t for decades of accumulated grime. They’re for construction debris left behind by builders: drywall dust, sawdust, plastic scraps. That debris doesn’t stay put. It circulates through your living space, strains your blower motor, and can void your HVAC warranty if it isn’t removed before move-in. If you’re seeing fine dust on surfaces within weeks of closing, or your system sounds like it’s working harder than it should, call (361) 326-5060. We’ll give you a written price before any work starts, and every job is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Fate’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been in business since 2004 as part of the Garrison Partners family. That track record predates most of the houses in Fate, and it predates most of the competitors you’ll find online here. Our Air Duct Cleaning team doesn’t subcontract. Every technician who walks into your Fate home is background-checked, uniformed, and trained to The Garrison Code: arrive inside the quoted window, price in writing, complete the job by the book, leave the site clean.
Our phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No voicemail loops. No callback queues. When you schedule in Fate, you get a real arrival window, not “sometime between 8 and 5.” And the price we write down before work begins is the price you pay. It does not move at the door.
We recently serviced a new-build in the Paloma Creek subdivision where the homeowner complained of fine white dust coating every surface within a week of moving in. Our tech found drywall dust caked inside the main return and flex ducts, restricting airflow so badly the blower motor was pulling high amps. Using negative pressure and agitation tools to NADCA standards, we performed source removal and restored proper static pressure, eliminating the dust within hours.
Vent Cleaning in Fate
Vent Cleaning in Fate addresses the supply and return registers where construction debris first shows itself. In newer Fate homes, we often find drywall dust packed behind vent covers, especially on returns located near mudrooms or utility closets where builders staged materials. The job involves removing each register, cleaning the boot and first few feet of duct behind it, and inspecting for damage from screws or fasteners left behind during rough-in.
A typical vent cleaning as part of a whole-system service in Fate runs $150 – $250 for register-level work, or it’s included in our full-system pricing. We don’t price per vent. One flat price per system, agreed before we start.
Supply Vent Cleaning
Supply vents push conditioned air into your rooms. In Fate’s new construction, these often collect sawdust and drywall mud that settled during final trim-out. We use rotary brush systems to dislodge debris without damaging flex duct connections.
Return Vent Cleaning
Return vents pull air back to the handler. They’re the first place you’ll see construction dust accumulating on the grille. If the boot behind it is packed with debris, your system starves for airflow and the blower motor overheats. We check static pressure before and after to confirm we’ve solved the problem.
Air Duct Repair in Fate
Air Duct Repair in Fate fixes the damage that construction debris and condensation cause to flex duct runs. We see crushed or kinked flex ducts in attics where workers stepped on them during insulation install. We see disconnected returns where tape failed in the heat. And we see mold growth where condensation collects in unconditioned attic spaces during Fate’s humid summers.
Most duct repairs in Fate fall between $200 – $500, depending on accessibility and whether we’re replacing a section of flex duct or resealing a plenum. We use mastic and mechanical fasteners, not tape that will fail in the attic heat. Every repair is written up with a price before we touch it, and it’s covered for 365 days under our Done Right Promise.
Flex Duct Replacement
Fate’s new homes rely heavily on flex duct routed through hot attics. When these collapse or tear, airflow drops and energy bills rise. We replace with properly sized flex or hard pipe where the run allows, supported every four feet to prevent sagging.
Duct Sealing and Mold Prevention
The temperature differential between your cooled living space and a 140-degree Fate attic drives condensation. We seal joints with mastic and install proper insulation to prevent the moisture that leads to mold. If mold is already present, we treat with EPA-registered products and explain what caused it so it doesn’t return.
Trusted Brands We Service in Fate
We stock parts and filtration products from Aprilaire, Abatement Technologies, and Guardsman for Fate customers, which means most repairs don’t wait on shipping. Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems for agitation cleaning and Nikro negative-air machines for source removal. These are the same tools commercial crews use in hospitals and schools, not hardware-store attachments. When we recommend a filtration upgrade after cleaning your Fate home’s ducts, we’ll explain exactly what the Aprilaire or Guardsman unit does, what it costs installed, and how often the media needs changing. No jargon. No pressure.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Fate Homes
- Builder-left debris in new construction. Drywall dust, sawdust, and plastic scraps clog returns and supply ducts in Fate’s post-2010 homes. Homeowners often assume new means clean, but the debris circulates until it’s removed professionally.
- Condensation in unconditioned attic ducts. Fate’s hot, humid summers create temperature swings between living space and attic that produce moisture on duct surfaces. Without proper sealing and cleaning, this leads to mold growth and musty odors.
- Crushed flex duct from construction traffic. Workers installing insulation or running cable in Fate attics frequently step on flex ducts, kinking them and restricting airflow. The homeowner notices weak vents and higher electric bills.
- Disconnected returns near the air handler. Tape and supports fail in attic heat, pulling return air from the hot attic instead of conditioned space. Your system works harder, your bills climb, and your filter loads with attic dust.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Fate, TX
A typical whole-home air duct cleaning in Fate runs $350 – $650, depending on system size, accessibility, and whether we’re addressing construction debris or standard household accumulation. Vent cleaning as a standalone service runs $150 – $250. Duct repairs range from $200 – $500. We do not price per vent. One flat price per system, written down before any work starts, and that number does not change at the door.
What affects cost? The number of air handlers, whether ducts are accessible from the attic or require crawlspace entry, the severity of debris buildup, and whether we find damage requiring repair during inspection.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Fate
Builders rarely clean ducts before handover. Drywall dust, sawdust, and plastic scraps left in flex duct runs circulate through your living space, strain your HVAC system, and can void manufacturer warranties if not removed. In Fate’s fast-growing market, this is the most common reason we get called. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free inspection if you’ve moved into a new home and notice dust accumulation.
Fate’s hot, humid summers mean HVAC systems run nearly year-round, and the temperature gap between cooled living space and broiling attic causes condensation in ductwork. Without proper sealing and periodic cleaning, this moisture leads to mold growth. We address both the debris and the moisture source on every Fate job. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule.
Builders should have capped ducts during construction, vacuumed debris before final close, and performed a blower door test to confirm cleanliness. Most don’t. The NADCA standard for new construction duct cleaning exists specifically because builders skip these steps. We clean to that standard and document the condition we find. Call (361) 326-5060 if you suspect your builder cut corners.
Fine white dust on surfaces within weeks of moving in, weak airflow from vents, unusual blower noise, or a filter that loads quickly are all signs. We use video inspection to confirm what’s inside your ducts before recommending any work. The inspection is free. Call (361) 326-5060 to book.
Our whole-system cleaning includes supply and return vent cleaning. If we find crushed flex duct, disconnected returns, or mold during the job, we’ll document it, give you a written repair price, and complete the work the same visit if you approve. Nothing happens without your written okay. Call (361) 326-5060 for an exact quote.
