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 Royse City
Air duct cleaning in Royse City typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-home residential system, with most jobs completed in a single visit.

Call (361) 326-5060 for a written estimate before any work starts.
We’ve worked in Royse City long enough to know the difference between a 2019 build on blackland prairie clay and a 1980s ranch near downtown. The housing stock here splits roughly in two: newer homes with flexible ductwork in hot attics, and older places with galvanized steel that needs a gentler hand. Both load up with dust, but the causes and the fixes aren’t the same. That’s why we inspect first, price in writing, then clean. No exceptions.
Our Air Duct Cleaning team serves Royse City under The Garrison Standard: arrive inside the quoted window, background-checked and uniformed, leave the site clean. Roy Castellanos built this operation on the principle that a homeowner should know exactly who’s coming, exactly what it costs, and exactly what happens if something goes wrong. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers 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.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Royse City’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Hollis Air Duct Cleaning has been part of the Garrison Partners family since 2004. In Royse City, that longevity matters because we’ve seen the construction boom firsthand, from the early 2000s builds near downtown to the 2015-2022 subdivisions stretching toward Fate and Lavon. We know which developments used builder-grade flex duct, which attics hit 140°F in July, and why a standard cleaning schedule doesn’t fit most homes here.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. You get a name and photo before arrival. Phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No voicemail loops, no callback queues.
We price in writing before touching equipment. The number on the page is the number at the door. That discipline exists because Roy Castellanos watched too many homeowners get burned by lowball quotes that doubled once the van was in the driveway. We don’t operate that way. The Garrison Code requires it.
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems for agitating debris loose from duct walls, Nikro negative-air machines for controlled extraction, and filtration products from Honeywell and Aprilaire. These are the same tools commercial crews use, not hardware-store attachments on a shop vacuum.
Air Duct Inspection in Royse City
Air Duct Inspection in Royse City starts with a camera run through your supply and return trunks, followed by static pressure testing and a written report with photos. Most Royse City homeowners need this when they’re seeing dust resettle within a day of cleaning, smelling musty air from vents, or moving into a home built between 2015 and 2022. A full inspection runs $150 – $250 and is credited toward cleaning if you proceed.
What We Look For in Newer Builds
In Royse City subdivisions built after 2010, county inspections don’t require post-construction duct cleaning. We regularly find drywall dust, sawdust, and fiberglass particles trapped in flex duct runs. The camera doesn’t lie. We show you the debris, then we show you the extraction plan.
Rural Property Assessments
Homes on unpaved roads near FM 548 or FM 1777 load ductwork differently. Our inspection checks return duct integrity where field dust and pollen enter, plus attic flex connections that rodents or settling can dislodge. We document everything. You decide what to address.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Royse City
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Royse City means full-system extraction using negative-air method with HEPA filtration, followed by agitation with rotary brushes to dislodge debris from duct walls. A typical whole-home job runs $350 – $650 depending on system size, accessibility, and contamination level. Homes built 2015-2022 often need the higher end due to construction debris loading.
The Post-Construction Clean
We pulled up to a rural property off FM 548 outside Royse City where the homeowner was seeing gray dust settle on furniture within a day of wiping it down. Our tech ran a camera inspection down the supply and return ducts and found the return trunk lined with field dust and pollen, plus a mat of fiberglass insulation fibers shed from the attic flex runs where a raccoon had knocked a section loose. We set up negative pressure with HEPA filtration, ran agitation tools through the runs, and pulled the debris out at the air handler. The homeowner’s surface dust dropped off within a week, and we scheduled them on a 3-year rural interval instead of the standard 5.
Standard Maintenance Cleaning
For established Royse City homes without construction debris, we clean supply ducts, return ducts, trunk lines, and the air handler cabinet. We use mastic to seal access ports when we’re done. Before-and-after photos go to you by text or email. The price is fixed before we start.
Trusted Brands We Service in Royse City
We carry parts and filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman, stocked for Royse City jobs so we’re not waiting on a Dallas warehouse run. Our Rotobrush and Nikro equipment gets serviced between every job. If your system needs a filter upgrade during cleaning, we can install Aprilaire media filters or Honeywell electronic air cleaners on the same visit. Turnaround matters here because Royse City’s summer heat doesn’t pause for backorders.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Royse City Homes
- Builder-grade flexible ductwork in 2015-2022 subdivisions hides drywall dust, sawdust, and fiberglass particles. County inspections don’t require post-construction cleaning, so standard vacuum-and-go cleanings never reach the debris without agitation tools and negative pressure. We find this in homes near the Stone River and Waters Edge developments.
- Rural Royse City homes on unpaved roads load return ducts with field dust and pollen so fast that a generic 5-year schedule runs 2-3 years past need. Continuous summer HVAC operation pulls that dust straight into the system. These properties need inspection every 2-3 years, cleaning every 3-4.
- Outbuilding and shop systems get skipped entirely on service calls. Techs inspect the house, leave the detached structure untreated. We check shop air handlers and blower motors on request. Lint and dust build up there just like in the main house.
- Spring pollen from junipers, oaks, and grasses accumulates in return ducts through May and June. Royse City’s pollen counts rival the Hill Country. That biological load coats duct walls and feeds microbial growth if humidity gets above 60% in the attic.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Royse City, TX
A typical whole-home residential cleaning in Royse City runs $350 – $650. Commercial systems start around $800 and scale with square footage. Here’s how the numbers break:

What moves the price: system size (more ducts, more time), contamination level (construction debris takes longer), attic accessibility (tight crawl spaces add labor), and whether we need to repair or seal flex duct connections.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Royse City
Every 3 to 4 years, with an inspection at the 2-year mark. The field dust and pollen loading on unpaved roads near FM 548 and FM 1777 outpaces standard suburban schedules. We set a 3-year interval for rural properties after the first cleaning, then adjust based on what the camera shows. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule an inspection.
County inspections for homes built after 2010 in Royse City don’t require post-construction duct cleaning. Your builder-grade flex duct likely still carries drywall dust, sawdust, and fiberglass particles from construction. Two years of occupancy complaints, not a calendar date, is the real trigger here. We inspect with a camera, show you the debris, and extract it with negative-air equipment and rotary agitation. Call (361) 326-5060 for a written estimate.
Yes, if they have their own air handler and blower motor. These systems get skipped on standard house calls, letting lint and dust build untreated. We clean shop ductwork starting at $250 – $450 depending on system size. The same 365-Day Done Right Promise applies.
A cheap job uses a shop vacuum and a brush on a drill, disturbs debris without extracting it, and leaves your system worse off. A NADCA-standards job uses negative-air containment, HEPA filtration, and mechanical agitation to dislodge and remove debris completely. We use Rotobrush rotary systems and Nikro negative-air machines. The price is higher because the equipment and time are real. We show before-and-after photos of your own ducts, not stock images.
Yes. Royse City’s spring pollen from junipers, oaks, and grasses loads return ducts heavily from March through June. That biological material sticks to duct walls and can support microbial growth when attic humidity climbs above 60% in summer. Cleaning in late fall, after pollen season and before heating season, gives the best results. Call (361) 326-5060 to book.
