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 Melissa
Most Melissa homeowners don’t expect to need air duct cleaning in a brand-new house. But in a city where the majority of homes were built in the last decade, that’s exactly when the first call usually comes. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and our crews serve Melissa from our Dallas-Fort Worth dispatch office, typically scheduling new-build cleanings within a few days of your call. You can reach us at (361) 326-5060 for a free written estimate.
We’ve cleaned ducts in Liberty, North Creek, and across the newer subdivisions along FM 720 and SH 121. The pattern is consistent: a family moves in, runs the AC through that first hot Melissa summer, and notices fine white dust coating registers and settling on furniture. It’s not your housekeeping. It’s construction debris the builder left behind.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Melissa’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been in business since 2004 as part of the Garrison Partners family, and our reputation in Melissa is built on handling a specific problem most duct cleaners don’t address well: post-construction debris in new homes. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and expected to operate by The Garrison Code on every job: arrive inside the quoted window, price in writing before touching equipment, complete the work by the book, and 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 Air Duct Cleaning in Melissa, you get a confirmed appointment window and a technician who shows up squared away.
Every job carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If the work fails within a year, we return and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. That’s not a satisfaction guarantee; it’s a specific, written commitment that competitors rarely match.
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Melissa
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Melissa focus on a different challenge than in older North Texas cities. Here, the job is typically source-removal cleaning of construction debris from brand-new duct systems, not breaking up decades of accumulated grime. A typical residential full-system cleaning in Melissa runs $350 – $650 depending on home size, duct configuration, and whether the air handler and blower motor require cleaning. Commercial systems start around $800 and scale with square footage and HVAC complexity.
Residential New-Build Cleaning
We clean the full supply and return network, air handler, and blower motor using a Rotobrush rotary brush system paired with negative-air HEPA extraction. This agitates and captures drywall dust, sawdust, and PVC shavings that builders leave behind, rather than pushing them deeper into the system.
Post-Walkthrough Verification
After cleaning, we run a video inspection so you see the ducts are actually clear, not just wiped at the registers. In Melissa’s competitive new-home market, this documentation matters if you need to demonstrate the condition to your builder.

HVAC Duct Cleaning in Melissa
HVAC Duct Cleaning in Melissa addresses the entire forced-air system, not just the visible duct runs. Because most local homes use high-efficiency HVAC with flexible ductwork in open-concept layouts, debris moves easily from construction zones into the mechanical core. A typical HVAC duct cleaning in Melissa runs $450 – $750 when it includes the air handler and blower motor; supply-only or return-only cleaning runs $200 – $350 per branch.
Full Mechanical Cleaning
We remove and clean the blower assembly, evaporator coil access permitting, and seal the air handler cabinet before reconnecting. This prevents the clean ducts from immediately recontaminating when the system cycles on.
Negative-Air Source Removal
Our Nikro negative-air machines create suction at the air handler while Rotobrush agitation loosens debris in each branch. Without negative pressure, cleaning just redistributes dust through your Melissa home.
Trusted Brands We Service in Melissa
We clean and service duct systems connected to all major HVAC brands found in Melissa’s newer homes, including Trane, Carrier, Lennox, and Rheem units common in Liberty and North Creek builds. We stock filtration products from Aprilaire and Guardsman for local replacement needs, and our equipment roster includes Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration and Rotobrush rotary systems, the same tools commercial crews use. Most filter upgrades or media replacements ship to our Dallas-Fort Worth office and reach Melissa crews within a day, so you’re not waiting on parts while construction dust keeps circulating.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Melissa Homes
- Drywall dust coating new registers. In Melissa subdivisions, we regularly find supply registers puffing fine white dust six weeks after move-in. The ducts look clean to the eye, but the interior surfaces are coated with construction debris that recirculates every time the AC cycles on in our long North Texas summers.
- Flexible duct runs compressed by installation crews. The open-concept floor plans in communities like North Creek require longer flexible duct runs, and we’ve found sections pinched or kinked during rough-in that restrict airflow and trap debris where brushes can’t reach without proper agitation tools.
- Humidity and pollen loading from Blackland Prairie exposure. Melissa’s location east of the prairie means heavy pollen seasons and humid summers that push HVAC systems hard from May through September. Poorly sealed ductwork pulls attic air and can create condensation points where mold starts if construction debris is already present as a nutrient source.
- “Blow-and-go” recontamination. Cheap competitors use shop vacuums without negative pressure or HEPA containment. They knock dust loose, it resettles within weeks, and Melissa homeowners call us to do the job properly with source-removal equipment.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Melissa
Yes, and sooner than most homeowners expect. In Melissa’s newer subdivisions like Liberty and North Creek, builders typically wipe counters and vacuum floors but do not clean the duct system itself. Drywall dust, sawdust, and PVC shavings remain in the supply and return ducts, recirculating through your home from the first day you run the HVAC. We recommend a source-removal cleaning before or within the first six months of occupancy. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Construction dust is fine, white, and uniform, coating registers evenly and resettling quickly after cleaning. Normal household dust varies in color and texture. In Melissa new-builds, we also find debris concentrations at the air handler and in the first few feet of each duct run, right where construction airflow patterns deposit material. We verify with video inspection so you see the difference yourself.
Professional duct cleaning by a licensed, insured company does not void your builder’s HVAC warranty. We document our work with before-and-after photos and video, which can actually support warranty claims if you later demonstrate the system was contaminated at handover. We do not modify equipment; we clean it. Check your specific warranty language, and we’re happy to discuss our methods with your builder’s representative.
We clean the full mechanical system on every full-system job: supply ducts, return ducts, air handler cabinet, blower assembly, and accessible coil areas. Cleaning only the duct runs while leaving construction debris in the air handler just recontaminates the system on the first cycle. Our written scope specifies exactly what we clean, so there’s no ambiguity.
Yes, significantly. Older homes in McKinney or Allen often need breakup of compacted grime, mold remediation consideration, and careful handling of deteriorated ductwork. Melissa new-builds need thorough source removal of lightweight construction debris before it compacts, plus inspection for installation damage like kinked flexible runs. The equipment is similar, but the approach and inspection priorities differ. We’ve handled both across North Texas since 2004.
