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.

Air duct cleaning in Palm Beach Gardens typically runs $450 – $850 for a full residential system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. We dispatch crews from our South Florida scheduling office and arrive inside the quoted window, whether you’re in BallenIsles, the PGA Corridor, or off Donald Ross Road.
We’ve been cleaning ducts in Palm Beach Gardens since 2004, and the calls we get here aren’t about ordinary dust. They’re about black dust that keeps coming back, musty smells that survive filter changes, and systems that have been running nonstop since the Reagan administration. Our Air Duct Cleaning team knows the local housing stock: the 1980s CBS homes with original fiberboard ductwork, the waterfront estates with multiple air handlers in 130°F attics, and the HOA rules that restrict where you can park a service van. We show up uniformed, background-checked, and with a written price before we touch anything. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Palm Beach Gardens’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’re part of the Garrison Partners family, and every Hollis location runs on The Garrison Standard: arrive inside the window, price in writing, complete the job by the book, leave the site clean. In Palm Beach Gardens, that standard matters because duct cleaning here is often a diagnostic job, not just a vacuum job. You need a crew that can find collapsed flex duct, identify mold in an attic air handler, and explain what they’re seeing without turning it into a sales pitch.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. Our phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Every job gets the 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. No negotiation, no runaround.
Roy Castellanos leads our operation, and he’s built this crew on the same principle that works in every trade: say what you’ll do, do what you said, and stand behind it for longer than the competition dares.
HVAC Duct Cleaning in Palm Beach Gardens
HVAC Duct Cleaning in Palm Beach Gardens means source removal from the entire forced-air system: supply trunks, return trunks, branch lines, and the air handler cabinet itself. In this market, we rarely find simple dust accumulation. The tropical climate keeps AC running 10 – 12 months a year, and that constant airflow through decades-old ductwork creates a specific Palm Beach Gardens problem: mold and biological growth in flex duct that passes through 130°F attics, plus internal collapse of original 1980s – 1990s flex that sheds insulation particles into the living space.
A typical residential HVAC duct cleaning in Palm Beach Gardens runs $550 – $950 depending on system size, accessibility, and whether we find disconnected or crushed runs that need sealing or replacement. Commercial systems start around $1,200.
Supply and Return Line Cleaning
We clean both sides of the system because contamination doesn’t stay in one lane. Supply ducts push conditioned air into your rooms; return ducts pull it back. In Palm Beach Gardens homes with original fiberboard returns, we’ve found the board itself delaminating and becoming part of the debris stream. We use rotary brush agitation with HEPA-contained negative air to remove source contamination without spreading it.
Air Handler and Coil Access
The air handler in a Palm Beach Gardens attic is where the real problems hide. Condensation pans overflow. Coils grow biological film. We inspect and clean these components as part of a full system job because a clean duct connected to a dirty handler is a waste of your money.
Vent Cleaning in Palm Beach Gardens
Vent Cleaning in Palm Beach Gardens addresses the visible registers and the short branch ducts behind them, but we treat it as a diagnostic entry point, not a standalone cosmetic service. Homeowners who call about “dirty vents” in this city are often seeing the symptom of a deeper failure: collapsed flex duct, mold in the trunk line, or an air handler that’s been circulating biological growth for years.
Standalone vent cleaning runs $180 – $340 in Palm Beach Gardens. We recommend it only when a full system inspection confirms the trunk lines are sound. If we find collapsed or moldy ductwork behind the vent, we’ll show you the camera footage and give you a written price for the proper fix.
Register and Grille Detailing
We remove each register, clean the grille and the boot behind it, and inspect with a borescope for duct wall integrity. In PGA Corridor homes from the 1980s, we often find the original flex duct has separated from the boot entirely, blowing attic air into the room.
Video Inspection Before and After
Every vent cleaning that escalates to full system work includes before-and-after video. You see what we saw, what we removed, and what we sealed or replaced. No guesswork, no trust-me claims.
Trusted Brands We Service in Palm Beach Gardens
We clean and service ductwork connected to all major HVAC brands, and we stock filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies for Palm Beach Gardens customers who need upgraded media after a cleaning. Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems for mechanical agitation and Nikro negative-air machines for contained source removal. If your waterfront estate in Mirasol or Frenchman’s Creek runs multiple air handlers with complex zoning, we have the tool range and the crew experience to handle it without multiple callbacks.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Palm Beach Gardens Homes
- Internal flex duct collapse in 1980s PGA Corridor homes. The original flex duct installed in CBS homes from this era has become brittle after decades of 24/7 AC operation. It collapses internally and blows insulation particles through registers, creating mysterious “black dust” that homeowners mistake for soot or dirty filters.
- Mold growth in attic air handlers during the six-month AC season. Palm Beach Gardens’s strict cosmetic HOA rules often hide outdoor units behind landscaping or architectural screens, but the indoor air handlers in 130°F attics get undersized and under-maintained. Condensation and humidity feed biological growth that standard filter changes never reach.
- Disconnected runs in original fiberboard ductwork. The fiberboard and early flex duct in Lake Catherine and older PGA Corridor neighborhoods has separated at joints after decades of thermal cycling. Conditioned air leaks into attics, utility bills climb, and the system pulls humid outdoor air through gaps.
- Post-hurricane stagnant air and accelerated microbial growth. Power outages during hurricane season leave humid, stagnant air sitting in ductwork. Without proper sealing and insulation, condensation persists and mold colonies establish even in ductwork that was clean before the storm.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Palm Beach Gardens
The black dust is almost certainly insulation particles from internally collapsed flex duct, not dirty air. In Palm Beach Gardens’s 1980s – 1990s PGA Corridor homes, original flex duct becomes brittle after decades of constant AC operation and begins shedding its fiberglass liner through the registers. Changing the filter repeatedly won’t stop it because the debris originates inside the duct wall, not from the air stream. We verify this with a camera inspection, then replace the failed flex sections and seal the connections so the shedding stops permanently. Call (361) 326-5060 for an exact quote – estimates are free.
Yes. Palm Beach Gardens’s tropical climate means air conditioning runs 10 – 12 months annually with dew points that stay muggy even in winter. That constant airflow through hot attics creates condensation inside ductwork, promoting mold and biological growth that a simple dust removal won’t address. We use HEPA-contained negative air and antimicrobial treatment where indicated, and we inspect for proper insulation and sealing because without those fixes, the mold returns. Call (361) 326-5060 for an exact quote – estimates are free.
Cosmetic HOA rules in Palm Beach Gardens communities like PGA National frequently restrict outdoor equipment placement, noise levels, and van parking. We use quiet, low-profile Nikro negative-air machines and compact Rotobrush rigs that don’t require large trailer setups or loud compressors. Our technicians know the local HOA landscape and coordinate with property management when needed to avoid fines or complaints. Call (361) 326-5060 for an exact quote – estimates are free.
We replace the damaged sections with new insulated flex duct or rigid duct where appropriate, seal all joints with mastic (not tape alone), and verify airflow balance before we leave. In 1980s CBS homes in the PGA Corridor and Lake Catherine, we commonly find original fiberboard that has delaminated or flex duct that has collapsed entirely. A vacuum job on damaged ductwork is a waste of money; the fix is mechanical replacement and proper sealing. We show you the camera footage, give you a written price, and complete the work in the same visit when possible. Call (361) 326-5060 for an exact quote – estimates are free.
We treat each air handler as a separate system with its own containment, negative air setup, and HEPA filtration. Large estates in BallenIsles, Mirasol, and Frenchman’s Creek often have four to six air handlers with complex zoning, and mold in one zone doesn’t mean mold in all. We inspect each zone independently, document findings with video, and price each system separately so you choose which to address and when. Our Abatement Technologies HEPA equipment handles the high airflow volumes these large homes require. Call (361) 326-5060 for an exact quote – estimates are free.
