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.
Fast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Richland Hills
Air duct cleaning in Richland Hills typically runs $350 – $650 for a full residential system and is completed in a single visit by our Air Duct Cleaning crew. Most calls we take from Richland Hills are about the same thing: dust that keeps coming back right after cleaning, rooms that won’t heat or cool evenly, or a musty smell every time the AC kicks on in July.
We’ve been dispatching crews to Richland Hills from our Dallas-Fort Worth office for years. That means we know the difference between a 1962 ranch on Pleasantview Drive and a 1978 split-level near the old Handley Middle School zone. The ductwork in those homes is not the same, and the problems aren’t either. When you call (361) 326-5060, you’re talking to a live person who knows Richland Hills is landlocked, fully built out, and full of aging systems that need more than a quick vacuum.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Richland Hills’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Our reputation in Richland Hills was built one ranch home at a time. Homeowners here talk to neighbors. They notice which company’s van shows up on time, which technician actually explains what they found in the attic, and which outfit sends a written price before touching anything. Word gets around in a city this size.
Roy Castellanos set the standard we still follow: background-checked, uniformed technicians who arrive inside the quoted window, price the job in writing, and leave the site clean. That’s The Garrison Code in action. Every technician on every Richland Hills job carries the same equipment roster, Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines included, that commercial crews use in larger facilities. We don’t send someone with a shop vac and a brush from the hardware store.
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 when your ducts are making noise on Saturday evening. And every repair, every cleaning, every seal job 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 in writing on every job, not something we mention once and forget.
Air Duct Repair in Richland Hills
Air Duct Repair in Richland Hills usually means addressing the original galvanized steel or early flexible ductwork found in homes built between the late 1950s and 1970s. The housing stock here is aging, and the ductwork is often older than the current owners. We see collapsed flex ducts in attics that hit 140 degrees in August, separated joints where mastic has dried and cracked over decades, and rusted galvanized sections that leak conditioned air into unused spaces.
A typical air duct repair in Richland Hills runs $200 – $500 for minor sectional fixes, while more extensive replacement of multiple duct runs can reach $800 – $1,500. We always inspect first with a video camera so you see what we see before any work starts.
Collapsed and Disconnected Sections
Attic ductwork in Richland Hills homes often sags where straps have failed or where insulation weight has pulled connections apart. Our technicians locate the break, show you the footage, and rehang or replace the section with proper support and sealed joints.
Rodent and Pest Damage
The vented attics common in Richland Hills neighborhoods attract squirrels and roof rats, especially near older trees. Chewed flex duct and contaminated insulation require removal, repair, and sealing to prevent recurrence. We handle the repair; we also flag entry points for your pest control professional.
Ductwork Cleaning in Richland Hills
Ductwork Cleaning in Richland Hills addresses decades of accumulated dust, pollen, and debris in systems that have never been professionally cleaned, or haven’t been cleaned since the Bush administration. The rotary brush method we use with Rotobrush equipment agitates buildup off duct walls while a negative-air machine from Nikro pulls it out of your home entirely. This isn’t a surface wipe. It’s mechanical cleaning of the full interior surface.
A typical residential ductwork cleaning in Richland Hills runs $350 – $650 for a complete system, including supply ducts, return ducts, and the main trunk lines. Larger homes or systems with heavy contamination may run higher. We price by the system, not by the vent. One flat price, agreed before work starts, with no add-ons at the door.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts push conditioned air to your rooms. When they’re coated in dust, you’re breathing whatever that dust contains every time the blower cycles. We clean each supply run from the trunk to the register, brushing and vacuuming the full length.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the unit, and they’re often the dirtiest part of the system because they collect what the filter missed. In Richland Hills homes with original undersized returns, the airflow velocity is higher and the debris buildup is worse. We size the cleaning approach to what we find.
Trusted Brands We Service in Richland Hills
Our equipment comes from manufacturers who build for the trade, not the retail shelf. We run Rotobrush rotary brush systems for mechanical agitation inside ductwork, Nikro negative-air machines for controlled debris extraction, and stock filtration and sealing products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, Abatement Technologies, and Guardsman. For Richland Hills homeowners, this means we don’t wait on parts. If your system needs a new filter housing, a sealed access panel, or mastic and mesh for duct sealing, we carry it. The turnaround is same-visit, not next-week. And because we also handle Duct Sealing in Richland Hills, we can move from cleaning to sealing without a return trip if your inspection reveals leaks that need addressing.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Richland Hills Homes
- Deteriorating external insulation on original galvanized ducts. In the 1960s-era neighborhoods near the center of Richland Hills, we regularly find insulation that crumbles when touched. This isn’t a cleaning issue alone; it often requires partial or full duct replacement, and we flag it during inspection so you’re not surprised later.
- Mold and mildew in attic flex duct. Richland Hills’s humid subtropical climate means attics hit extreme temperatures in summer while humidity stays high. Condensation forms inside poorly insulated ducts, and mold follows. We identify active growth and recommend appropriate remediation before cleaning proceeds.
- Uneven heating and cooling across ranch-style floor plans. Single-story homes with original duct design often have one or two rooms that never get comfortable. The problem is usually leaks, blockages, or undersized runs, all of which we diagnose with video inspection before quoting any work.
- Rodent contamination in vented attics. Squirrels and roof rats access Richland Hills attics through mature tree canopies, especially in established neighborhoods. They chew flex duct, nest in insulation, and leave debris that standard cleaning won’t address. We remove contaminated material, repair the duct, and seal the system.

Here’s what air duct cleaning costs in Richland Hills, based on the homes we actually work on:

What moves the price? System size, accessibility of ductwork in your attic or crawl space, level of contamination, and whether we find damage that needs repair before cleaning makes sense. We don’t quote over the phone and then surprise you at the door. A technician inspects your system, shows you what they found, and writes the price down before any work begins. That price does not change. No per-vent add-ons, no “we found extra dirt” charges, no bait-and-switch.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Richland Hills
A full residential air duct cleaning in Richland Hills typically costs $350 – $650 for a standard single-system home, with larger or more contaminated systems running up to $950. Commercial systems start around $800. We write the price down before we start, and it doesn’t move. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate on your specific system.
The low quotes usually come with a per-vent pricing structure that balloons once the technician is inside your home, or they use equipment that doesn’t actually clean the full duct interior. Our price is one flat rate per system, agreed in writing, with Rotobrush and Nikro professional equipment on every job. You get before-and-after photos of your own ducts, not a generic set from someone else’s house.
We provide before-and-after photos from the video inspection of your specific ductwork. You see the condition before we start and the result after we finish. The technician reviews these with you on site before collecting payment. If you want to see the footage again later, we keep it on file.
Most Richland Hills homes benefit from cleaning every 3 to 5 years, but the aging housing stock here often needs more frequent attention. If your home still has original galvanized or early flex ductwork from the 1960s or 1970s, or if you’ve had rodent issues, every 2 to 3 years is more realistic. We inspect and give you an honest timeline based on what we find, not a calendar sale.
Every air duct cleaning, repair, and sealing job in Richland Hills is covered for a full year. If the work fails, if a seal opens, if a cleaned duct shows the same blockage, we return and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. This is backed in writing on every job, not a verbal assurance. Roy Castellanos built this standard into Hollis from the start, and it applies to your Richland Hills home exactly as it would anywhere else we serve.
