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 Fort Myers Shores
Air duct cleaning in Fort Myers Shores typically runs $350 – $650 for a full residential system and is usually scheduled within a few business days, with our Miami office coordinating dispatch to your area. If your vents smell musty every time the AC kicks on, or you’re seeing dark patches around ceiling registers in your riverfront home, you’re not imagining it. Fort Myers Shores sits in the Caloosahatchee River floodplain, where the combination of year-round humidity and frequent river flooding creates a unique problem: duct systems here are highly prone to mold and mildew, especially in older riverfront homes that have been through repeated storm surges. Unlike inland Fort Myers, air duct cleaning here is as much about mold remediation and moisture control as it is about dust removal. Call us at (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
We’ve worked on homes along North River Road, in the Palm Vista neighborhood, and throughout the mobile home communities near the river. Our crews know the difference between a standard dust cleaning and the moisture-focused approach these properties need. The housing stock in Fort Myers Shores is predominantly single-story ranch-style homes from the 1960s to 1980s, many with original galvanized steel or early flex duct systems that have degraded due to age and moisture. The area also has a mix of mobile homes and newer construction on stilts, each presenting distinct ductwork challenges. When we pull up to a job in Fort Myers Shores, we’re not guessing at what we’ll find.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Fort Myers Shores’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve built our reputation in Fort Myers Shores the same way we have everywhere else: by showing up inside the window, pricing in writing before we touch anything, and leaving the site clean. The Garrison Standard isn’t a slogan we put on the van. It’s a set of operational rules our technicians follow on every job, including the ones we run from our Miami office out to Fort Myers Shores.
Our customers in Fort Myers Shores have left us strong reviews mentioning specifically that the price held steady from phone quote to final invoice, and that our technicians arrived in uniform with background checks already completed. Roy Castellanos, who leads Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, insists on this level of discipline because he’s seen what happens when crews cut corners in high-humidity environments like this one.
Dispatch and scheduling for Fort Myers Shores are coordinated from our Miami office, which means you’re not waiting on a distant call center to find you a slot. We know the local routes, the traffic patterns around the Caloosahatchee, and how long it takes to get a negative-air machine and rotary brush system out to a home on stilts near the river.
Local knowledge matters here in ways it doesn’t inland. After any significant river flooding, like during Hurricane Ian, ducts in low-lying areas often take on water. Even after the water recedes, hidden moisture in ductwork becomes a mold factory. Our technicians know to check duct insulation and interior lining for mold after every flood event, not just clean the visible dust. That’s the difference between a crew that knows Fort Myers Shores and one that’s just passing through.
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Fort Myers Shores
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Fort Myers Shores covers offices, retail spaces, restaurants, and small medical clinics whose HVAC systems run harder and longer than residential units in this climate. The same humidity that affects home ducts is amplified in commercial settings where doors open constantly and kitchen exhaust ties into shared ventilation. A typical commercial system in Fort Myers Shores runs $800 – $2,400 depending on square footage and duct complexity. We schedule these jobs to minimize disruption to your business, often working early mornings or weekends.
Restaurant and Kitchen Exhaust Systems
Grease-laden vapor from cooking combines with Fort Myers Shores’s ambient humidity to coat duct interiors with a sticky film that traps mold spores and bacteria. Our crews use Nikro negative-air machines to contain contaminants during cleaning, then inspect with video cameras to verify the job.
Office and Retail Ventilation
Shared return ducts in strip malls and office parks near Palm Beach Boulevard circulate odors and allergens between tenants. We isolate each zone, clean supply and return lines separately, and provide before-and-after video documentation for property managers.
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Fort Myers Shores
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Fort Myers Shores include full-system cleaning of supply ducts, return ducts, and main trunk lines, plus video inspection to verify results. For a typical single-family home in this market, you’re looking at $350 – $650 for a complete residential cleaning. Mobile homes with compact duct runs often fall at the lower end; ranch-style homes with original galvanized steel ductwork and multiple additions trend higher due to access challenges and accumulated debris.
Supply and Return Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts push conditioned air into your rooms; return ducts pull it back. In Fort Myers Shores’s older homes, we’ve found return ducts especially clogged with fine silt that settles after flood events, plus the usual dust and pet dander. Our Rotobrush rotary brush system scrubs the interior walls while a Nikro negative-air machine pulls debris out of your home entirely.
Video Inspection and Documentation
We feed a camera through your ductwork before and after cleaning. In Fort Myers Shores, this step often reveals water staining, rust on galvanized steel, or mold growth on flex duct interior lining that homeowners didn’t know existed. You see what we see. No guesswork.

Trusted Brands We Service in Fort Myers Shores
Our equipment comes from manufacturers who build for commercial and industrial use, not weekend warriors. We run Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines on every job, and we specify filtration and sealing products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies when your system needs more than cleaning. For Fort Myers Shores customers, this means we stock common parts and filtration upgrades locally through our Miami supply chain, so you’re not waiting a week for a specialty HEPA filter or duct sealing mastic while mold keeps growing in your ducts. If your system uses Honeywell electronic air cleaners or Aprilaire whole-house humidifiers, we know how to clean around them without damaging sensitive components.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Fort Myers Shores Homes
- Mold in flex duct lining after flood events. The 1960s and 1970s ranch homes near the river often have early flex duct that acts like a sponge when humidity spikes. Once mold colonizes the interior lining, standard dust cleaning won’t reach it. We inspect with video and recommend replacement when cleaning isn’t enough.
- Rust and corrosion in galvanized steel trunk lines. Original steel ductwork in Fort Myers Shores homes has had 40 – 60 years of humid air passing through it. Rust flakes break off and circulate through vents. We remove loose corrosion and assess whether the trunk line needs sealing or replacement.
- Collapsed or sagging ducts in mobile homes. The mobile home communities in Fort Myers Shores often have thin flex duct running through crawl spaces that weren’t designed for decades of Florida heat and moisture. We find crushed sections that restrict airflow and trap condensation.
- Improperly sealed duct joints wasting cooling dollars. In newer construction on stilts, we’ve seen builders seal ducts with tape that fails within a few years of Gulf humidity. We also handle Duct Sealing in Fort Myers Shores when your system needs more than cleaning.

Prices in Fort Myers Shores are comparable to nearby Fort Myers and Cape Coral, though riverfront homes sometimes require additional mold-focused steps that can push costs toward the higher end of our $350 – $650 residential range.
