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.

Palmetto Estates sits in unincorporated Miami-Dade, a community of concrete block ranches built mostly between the 1960s and 1980s. We’ve worked enough attics off SW 168th Street and SW 137th Avenue to know what we’re walking into: original fiberglass ductboard, first-generation flex-duct, and the particular damage that thirty years of subtropical humidity does to a system never designed for it. Our Air Duct Cleaning team doesn’t guess. We camera-inspect first, price in writing second, and clean only what’s actually needed.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Palmetto Estates’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been in business since 2004 as part of the Garrison Partners family, and our Miami office coordinates scheduling for Palmetto Estates directly.

Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they work under The Garrison Standard: arrive inside the quoted window, price the job in writing before touching equipment, complete the work by the book, and leave the site clean. Every job carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work fails within a year, we return and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit.

Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Palmetto Estates
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Palmetto Estates covers office suites, medical clinics, retail spaces, and small warehouse facilities in the commercial pockets along US-1 and the surrounding business corridors. These systems accumulate construction dust, paper particulate, and biological loading faster than residential units because of higher occupancy and constant HVAC cycling. A typical commercial duct cleaning in Palmetto Estates runs $800 – $1,800 depending on square footage, system accessibility, and whether the job requires after-hours scheduling.
System Accessibility and Scheduling
Commercial buildings in Palmetto Estates often have rooftop package units or ceiling-mounted air handlers in finished spaces. We use Nikro negative-air machines with HEPA filtration to contain debris during cleaning, and we coordinate with building managers to minimize disruption to tenant operations.
Post-Construction and Remediation Cleaning
After renovation or water damage, commercial duct systems need more than surface vacuuming. We agitate duct walls with Rotobrush rotary tools under contained negative pressure, then verify cleanliness with video inspection before returning the system to service.
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Palmetto Estates
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Palmetto Estates address a specific set of problems created by this community’s housing stock and climate. Most homes here are 1960s – 1980s concrete block ranches with original fiberglass ductboard or early flex-duct runs in unconditioned attics. The combination of 140°F attic temperatures, 85%+ humidity, and decades of accumulation means dust has baked onto duct walls and mold has colonized fiberglass liners. A typical full residential system cleaning in Palmetto Estates runs $350 – $650, with camera inspection and sealing work quoted separately if needed.
Residential Duct Cleaning and Inspection
We start every residential job with a camera inspection of the trunk line and accessible branches. In Palmetto Estates, we regularly find crushed flex runs, disconnected supply boots, and ductboard with visible microbial staining. The camera shows the homeowner exactly what we’re dealing with before we price any additional work.
Supply and Return Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts push conditioned air into living spaces; returns pull it back. In older Palmetto Estates homes, return plenums often sit at floor level and collect decades of debris. We clean both sides of the system with agitation tools and negative-air containment, not just a shop vacuum pushed into one register.

Trusted Brands We Service in Palmetto Estates
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems for mechanical agitation, Nikro negative-air machines for contained debris removal, and filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman. We don’t use hardware-store gear. For Palmetto Estates homes with older ductboard, we stock mastic sealant, fiberglass mesh, and properly sized flex-duct connections so repairs can be completed same-day without waiting on parts runs to Hialeah or Kendall. That matters when we’ve got a disconnected boot in a 140°F attic and a homeowner who needs the system running before the next afternoon thunderstorm rolls through.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Palmetto Estates Homes
- Mold in fiberglass ductboard after power outages. When summer storms knock out AC for even a day, attic ducts cool enough to condense moisture from 85%+ humidity air. The fiberglass liner seeds mold, and a dust-only clean leaves the biological problem in place. We treat the source, not the symptom.
- Crushed or sagging flex-duct runs. First-generation flex off the air handler collapses under decades of attic heat and occasional rodent traffic. The blower motor strains against blocked pathways and circulates stale, humid air. Camera inspection finds these before we quote any sealing work.
- Disconnected supply boots at ceiling registers. In 1960s – 80s concrete block homes, boots separate from duct runs and leak conditioned air into wall cavities. Homeowners feel weak airflow and higher electric bills. We seal with mastic and mesh, verified by post-repair camera check.
- Baked-on dust in unconditioned attics. Palmetto Estates attics routinely exceed 140°F. Dust fuses to ductboard and metal trunk interiors. Mechanical agitation with rotary brushes, not just suction, is required to dislodge it.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Palmetto Estates
Your attic ducts cool when the AC stops, and 85%+ humidity air condenses on the fiberglass ductboard liner. That moisture seeds mold within 24 – 48 hours. We see this constantly in Palmetto Estates’s 1960s – 1980s homes after summer storms. A proper clean includes antimicrobial treatment of the liner and sealing any gaps where moisture enters. Call (361) 326-5060 for an inspection.
Yes, often. Original supply boots in these homes separate from duct runs over decades, leaking conditioned air into wall cavities. Cleaning alone doesn’t fix the airflow problem. We camera-inspect first and seal with mastic and mesh where needed, priced separately before work begins.
Crushed flex-duct off the air handler, disconnected boots at registers, rodent damage to insulation, and mold staining on fiberglass ductboard. On SW 168th Street, we once found a 1972 ranch with a crushed flex run and disconnected supply boot that had been dumping cooled air into a wall cavity for years. The camera showed the homeowner exactly why the back bedroom never cooled properly.
We remove the contaminated fiberglass liner where possible, treat remaining surfaces with antimicrobial, seal duct seams to prevent moisture intrusion, and upgrade the filter to a higher MERV rating that traps residual particulate. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers our work: if mold returns because of our cleaning or sealing, we come back at no charge.
Yes, and we recommend it. Dryer vent cleaning as an add-on runs $120 – $180 when bundled with duct cleaning. Palmetto Estates’s humidity means lint clumps heavier and faster than in drier climates, and a blocked vent is a genuine fire hazard. We clean the full run from the back of the dryer to the exterior termination, not just the accessible portion.
