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.

Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule a free estimate. Our Air Duct Cleaning team dispatches from our Dallas-Fort Worth coordination office and serves Lake Jackson with local crews who know the difference between a 1950s galvanized trunk line and modern flex duct.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Lake Jackson’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been in business since 2004 as part of the Garrison Partners family, and our reputation in Lake Jackson is built on showing up when we said we would and pricing the job in writing before any equipment comes off the truck. Homeowners here tell us the same story: they called another outfit, got a teaser quote, and watched the price climb once the technician was inside. That doesn’t happen with Hollis. The price is written down before work starts, and it doesn’t move at the door.
Our response time to Lake Jackson is typically next-day or within 48 hours for standard scheduling. We know the local landscape: the tight streets of the original planned neighborhoods, the apartment complexes near Brazosport College, and the ranch homes off This Way that share identical duct systems with their neighbors. Every technician we send is background-checked, uniformed, and expected to operate by The Garrison Code: arrive inside the window, price in writing, complete the job by the book, leave the site clean.
Roy Castellanos leads our operations, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise backs every job in writing. If the work fails within a year, we return and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit.
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Lake Jackson
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Lake Jackson cover the full removal of dust, debris, and microbial buildup from your supply and return ductwork, using professional-grade rotary brush systems and negative-air machines. Because Lake Jackson was a planned company town built by Dow Chemical starting in the 1940s, thousands of homes here have original or lightly-updated galvanized sheet metal ducts that are now 50 – 70 years old. Those ducts are reaching the end of their service life at roughly the same time, which means our crews often find identical era-specific failures across entire blocks. A typical residential full-system cleaning in Lake Jackson runs $350 – $650, with commercial systems starting around $800 depending on square footage and access.
Residential Duct Cleaning
Most Lake Jackson homes fall into two categories: mid-century ranch homes on slab foundations with galvanized steel ducts and central hall returns, or newer construction on the south and west edges with flex duct in attics. We adjust our approach accordingly. The older homes often need more than just cleaning; the interior fiberglass liner in those 1950s – 60s trunk lines has frequently degraded and is shedding into the airflow. Our Rotobrush agitation tools with HEPA filtration handle the debris removal, but we also flag failing liner sections so you’re not recontaminating clean ducts within weeks.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Lake Jackson’s commercial buildings, from the medical offices near Highway 288 to the retail spaces in the newer developments, require scheduled cleaning that minimizes disruption to business hours. We use Nikro negative-air machines to maintain containment during the process, and we coordinate access for properties with shared HVAC systems or limited parking for our equipment van.

HVAC Duct Cleaning in Lake Jackson
HVAC Duct Cleaning in Lake Jackson addresses the entire forced-air system: supply ducts, return ducts, registers, grilles, and the air handler itself. Given that Lake Jackson HVAC systems run 8 – 9 months annually pulling moisture-laden air through the ductwork, cleaning here is often as much about microbial remediation as dust removal. The Gulf Coast humidity averages 75 – 80% relative humidity most of the year, creating ideal conditions for mold and mildew growth inside ducts. A standard residential HVAC duct cleaning in Lake Jackson ranges from $350 – $650; if video inspection reveals degraded liner or undersized returns that need redesign, we’ll quote that separately before any additional work begins.
Video Inspection and System Assessment
We run a camera through your trunk lines before and after cleaning. In Lake Jackson’s older neighborhoods, we’re specifically looking for peeling fiberglass liner, deteriorating exterior wrap, and corrosion spots in galvanized steel. The “after” footage belongs to you, and it’s dated documentation of what was actually done.
Supply and Return Duct Cleaning
Many Lake Jackson slab-on-grade homes were built with undersized central hall returns that don’t meet current code for airflow volume. Cleaning the return duct improves what you have, but it can’t fix a design that was marginal in 1960. We measure static pressure and airflow at the registers, and if the numbers are off, we’ll show you why and quote a return-air resize separately.
Trusted Brands We Service in Lake Jackson
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems for agitation cleaning, Nikro negative-air machines for containment, and filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman. We don’t show up with hardware-store vacuums and a brush on a stick. For Lake Jackson homeowners dealing with the combined effects of aging galvanized ductwork and Gulf Coast humidity, the right tools matter: HEPA filtration captures the fine particulate that standard shop vacs recirculate, and proper negative-air setup prevents cross-contamination between dirty and cleaned sections of the system. We stock common filtration components locally, so if your cleaning reveals a failing Honeywell media filter or an Aprilaire cabinet that needs resealing, we can often handle it on the same visit rather than ordering parts and rescheduling.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Lake Jackson Homes
- Degraded fiberglass liner in original galvanized trunk lines. In the Dow-built sections and historic downtown blocks, the interior insulation in 1950s – 60s rectangular trunk lines has often peeled away and is shedding fibers into the supply air. Cleaning without replacing these sections just recontaminates the ducts within weeks.
- Undersized central hall returns on slab-on-grade homes. The mid-century ranch layout common across Lake Jackson was built with return-air duct sizing that doesn’t meet modern code. Cleaning improves airflow marginally, but the real fix is often a partial return redesign to correct static pressure.
- Shared dryer vent stacks in denser housing. In Lake Jackson’s older apartment complexes and some of the original dense neighborhoods, dryer vents run through shared vertical stacks. A single-unit cleaning approach misses the lint pathway that crosses unit boundaries, creating fire hazards that individual tenants can’t solve alone.
- Post-hurricane water intrusion into duct systems. Storm surge and wind-driven rain events, including Hurricane Harvey, have pushed water into Lake Jackson ductwork. In these cases, standard cleaning isn’t sufficient; the ducts need assessment for replacement rather than remediation.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Lake Jackson, TX
Here’s what honest pricing looks like for this market. A typical residential full-system air duct cleaning in Lake Jackson runs $350 – $650, depending on the number of supply and return registers, the length of the trunk lines, and whether we find degraded liner that needs section replacement. Commercial systems start around $800 and scale with square footage and access complexity. Dryer vent cleaning as an add-on runs $125 – $225; standalone dryer vent work for shared stacks in multi-unit buildings is quoted after site review. We don’t do per-vent pricing. We don’t do teaser coupons. One flat price per system, agreed in writing before any work starts. The estimate is free. Call (361) 326-5060.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Lake Jackson
Because the original Dow-built homes share the same 1950s – 60s galvanized trunk lines with interior fiberglass liner that has now degraded across entire blocks, and those homes were built with central hall returns that don’t meet current airflow code. Cleaning removes the debris, but it doesn’t fix shedding liner or undersized returns. We quote any needed redesign separately, in writing, before proceeding. Call (361) 326-5060 for an exact assessment.
The relentless Gulf Coast humidity, averaging 75 – 80% most of the year, means Lake Jackson ducts are constantly exposed to moisture-laden air. Mold and mildew growth inside ductwork is common here, and standard dust removal isn’t enough. We treat for microbial contamination during cleaning and verify with post-cleaning inspection that the system is dry before we seal it back up. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule.
Ask your property manager whether the dryer vents run through shared vertical stacks, which is common in Lake Jackson’s older dense housing. Individual unit cleaning won’t address lint buildup in the shared pathway, and that creates a fire hazard that crosses unit boundaries. We quote multi-unit stack cleaning after a site review of the building layout. Call (361) 326-5060 to arrange an inspection.
Our van carries a 200-foot hose reel setup that lets us park on the street and run lines to the house without blocking driveways or narrow lanes. In the original Dow-built sections with tight street parking, we coordinate arrival times with you and confirm access to the exterior HVAC closet or crawl space before we dispatch. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule.
We use Rotobrush rotary brush systems for agitation, Nikro negative-air machines for containment, and HEPA filtration from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman. These are the same tools commercial crews use, not hardware-store equipment. We explain what each tool does and why it matters for your specific duct system before we start. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
