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 Fountainebleau’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been in business since 2004 as part of the Garrison Partners family, and our Air Duct Cleaning team knows Fountainebleau’s housing stock inside out. The 1950s-70s slab homes off West Flagler and around the neighborhood’s interior streets aren’t mysteries to us. We’ve pulled enough grilles in these ranches to know what hides behind them.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. You know who’s walking in 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 answer.
Every job gets a written price before work starts. That price does not move at the door. And every repair 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. That’s written down, not implied.
We don’t compete on the lowest teaser price. We compete on showing up, pricing honestly, and leaving the site clean. That’s The Garrison Standard.
Vent Cleaning in Fountainebleau
Vent Cleaning in Fountainebleau means more than wiping down the registers you can see. In these older slab homes, supply vents are often just a few feet from the air handler, buried in concrete chases or furred into low ceilings. We remove each grille, inspect the boot and first few feet of duct with a camera, then use a Rotobrush rotary brush system to agitate debris loose while a Nikro negative-air machine pulls it out under HEPA filtration. For a typical Fountainebleau home, vent cleaning runs $180 – $320 when done as a standalone service, or it’s bundled into a full system clean.
Register and Boot Decontamination
The boot, the sheet-metal box behind your wall grille, is where humidity pools and mildew starts. We clean and treat this area with an antimicrobial application, not just the visible vent face. In Fountainebleau’s climate, skipping the boot means the musty smell returns within weeks.
Return Grille and Filter Housing Cleaning
Return paths pull air from your living space back to the handler, so they’re loaded with dust, pet hair, and skin cells. We clean the grille, the filter track, and the first section of return duct. A clogged return makes your system work harder and cool less. We measure static pressure before and after so you see the difference.
Air Duct Repair in Fountainebleau
Air Duct Repair in Fountainebleau is often the real fix hiding inside what looks like a cleaning job. Those short slab-on-grade runs from the 1960s and 70s? They’re frequently crushed where the slab settled, disconnected at the boot, or never properly sealed in the first place. Cleaning a crushed duct just polishes the inside of a straw that’s already pinched shut. We camera-inspect first, then quote repair separately from cleaning so you know exactly what each costs. Air duct repair in Fountainebleau typically ranges from $280 – $550 for reconnection and sealing of one or two runs, up to $800 – $1,400 if multiple runs need replacement or the plenum requires rebuild.
Crushed and Disconnected Run Reconnection
Near the Fountainebleau area off West Flagler, our crew pulled a grille in a 1962 ranch home and found the flex supply run crushed flat against a slab chase seam, starving two bedrooms of airflow while the air handler short-cycled. After camera inspection and source removal under negative pressure with HEPA filtration, we reconnected and sealed the run and applied an antimicrobial treatment to the plenum where mildew had colonized. Static pressure dropped and the homeowner finally got even cooling at the registers.
Duct Sealing with Mastic and Metal Tape
Original Fountainebleau ducts were often assembled with minimal sealing. We close gaps at joints, boots, and plenum connections with mastic, a thick paste that remains flexible, reinforced with metal tape where code requires. Sealed ducts don’t leak conditioned air into your attic or slab void. You pay to cool the rooms you actually use.
Trusted Brands We Service in Fountainebleau
We carry professional-grade equipment and stock filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies for Fountainebleau customers. That means no waiting on a parts order from out of state when your system needs a media filter upgrade or a UV germicidal light added to the plenum. Our Rotobrush and Nikro machines are the same tools commercial crews use in hospitals and schools. We explain what each piece does while it’s running, because you should know what’s happening in your home. Fast turnaround matters here. With AC running year-round, you don’t have days to wait on a filter size we don’t stock.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Fountainebleau Homes
- Cleaning only the visible registers while leaving the air handler coil, blower motor, and plenum untouched. This is the most common miss in Fountainebleau’s constantly-running systems. The mildew lives in the damp plenum, not the vent face. We clean the entire air handler as part of a full system service.
- Treating every job as dust removal when the real problem is biological growth. High humidity plus year-round AC means antimicrobial treatment is often required, not optional. We test for contamination and treat accordingly, with documentation.
- Skipping camera inspection and duct sealing on 1950s-70s slab homes. Hidden crushed or disconnected runs go unnoticed, so the “clean” system still underperforms. We inspect before we quote and show you the footage.
- Original duct materials degrading after 50+ years of heat and humidity cycles. Fibrous glass duct board can delaminate; flex duct inner liners tear. We flag material failures during inspection and quote replacement by the run, not a whole-system upsell.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Fountainebleau
Probably not. In Fountainebleau’s slab-on-grade mid-century homes, supply runs are often just a few feet long and buried in the slab or chased through furred ceilings, so an “early” clean frequently reveals crushed, disconnected, or never-sealed runs rather than simply dirty duct interiors. We camera-inspect first and quote repair separately so you know what’s actually wrong before spending money on a cleaning that won’t solve it. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule an inspection.
Because the cleaning likely skipped the air handler plenum, coil, and blower where the actual colony lives. Miami’s tropical monsoon climate brings high humidity and warmth all year, so air conditioning runs constantly, creating a perpetually damp environment inside ducts that promotes mold and mildew growth. Surface cleaning of vents doesn’t reach the source. We treat the entire system with antimicrobial application and address humidity control at the handler. If the root dampness isn’t fixed, the mold returns regardless of how clean the vents look.
Most Fountainebleau homes take 3 to 5 hours for a full system clean including supply, return, air handler, and camera verification. The compact layouts with short duct runs actually help, but access through small slab chases or cramped attic hatches can slow the work. We don’t rush. The job is done when the camera shows clean duct and the static pressure test confirms airflow improvement.
Yes. A full system cleaning from Hollis includes all supply runs, all return paths, the air handler cabinet, the blower motor and wheel, the evaporator coil (accessible side), and the plenum. We also inspect and treat the filter housing. Anything less leaves contamination behind in Fountainebleau’s climate, and we don’t do half jobs. The price covers the whole system, not a per-vent count.
We offer dryer vent cleaning as a separate service, and many Fountainebleau homeowners bundle it with duct cleaning for one visit. A clogged dryer vent is a fire hazard and makes your dryer run longer, adding heat and humidity to the home that your AC then works harder to remove. If we’re already on site with the equipment, bundling saves a second trip. Ask when you call (361) 326-5060 for pricing.
