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 San Leon
San Leon sits right on Galveston Bay, and that waterfront location means your ductwork faces problems inland homes never see. A typical residential air duct cleaning in San Leon runs $280 – $480 for a full system, and our crews are on the road to you from our Dallas-Fort Worth dispatch office with scheduling coordinated for San Leon arrival windows. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate and written price before any work starts.
We’ve worked in the elevated cottages along 11th Street, the post-Ike rebuilds on Bayshore Drive, and the original 1960s bungalows back toward Grand Avenue. Roy Castellanos and our team know what salt-laden Gulf air does to ductwork here. That gray film inside your returns after a heavy bay wind? It’s not ordinary dust. We see it in system after system across San Leon, and we clean it out with the same Rotobrush rotary systems and Nikro negative-air equipment commercial crews rely on.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is San Leon’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Hollis Air Duct Cleaning has been part of the Garrison Partners family since 2004, and our reputation in coastal Texas markets is built on doing what we said we’d do. In San Leon, that means showing up inside the quoted window, pricing the job in writing before we touch your system, and leaving the site clean. No exceptions.
Our phone lines are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. When you call (361) 326-5060, you talk to a human who can schedule your San Leon appointment, not a callback queue that dumps you into voicemail.
Every technician who enters your home is background-checked and uniformed. You know who’s coming before they arrive. And 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 guarantee is rare in this trade, and we put it on paper every time.
We understand San Leon’s housing stock: the original elevated fishing cabins with flexible duct runs in crawlspaces, the post-Hurricane Ike rebuilds on pilings with new but often poorly sealed systems, and the mid-century bungalows with decades of accumulated coastal contamination. That local knowledge changes how we approach each job.
Vent Cleaning in San Leon
Vent cleaning in San Leon is often the first service homeowners notice they need, because the supply registers and return grilles are where salt film, mildew, and dust become visible. We remove each vent cover, clean it with professional-grade equipment, and treat the first few feet of duct behind it where coastal humidity has done the most damage. A standard vent cleaning service in San Leon typically runs $120 – $220 for a whole-home treatment, with written pricing agreed before we start.
Supply Vent Restoration
Supply vents push conditioned air into your rooms, but in San Leon they also push out musty odors when salt and microbial growth coat the interior surfaces. We clean each supply branch with rotary brush tools that break loose the sticky residue humid Gulf air leaves behind, then extract it with negative-air collection so nothing resettles in your home.
Return Air Path Cleaning
Return vents pull air back to your HVAC system, and in bayfront homes they’re the primary entry point for outdoor salt and moisture. Our return vent cleaning includes the grille, the boot, and the trunk line connection where we most often find that fine gray salt film San Leon residents notice after storm season.
Air Duct Repair in San Leon
Air Duct Repair in San Leon addresses the gaps, separations, and corrosion that coastal conditions accelerate in ways inland ductwork rarely experiences. Salt air corrodes metal ducts from the inside out, while elevated humidity weakens tape and mastic seals. We repair separated joints, replace corroded sections, and reseal with proper materials. Typical air duct repair in San Leon ranges from $180 for minor sealing work to $650 for section replacement in accessible areas, always with a written price before we begin.
Moisture-Damaged Section Replacement
Flexible duct in San Leon crawlspaces and attics traps condensation against its insulation jacket, eventually collapsing the inner liner. We replace these damaged runs with properly sized, sealed ductwork rated for humid environments, then verify airflow balance before we leave.
Post-Storm Gap Sealing
After Hurricane Ike and subsequent heavy weather events, many San Leon homes received rushed HVAC repairs that left duct joints unsealed or poorly supported. We find these leaks with video inspection, then seal them with mastic and mechanical fasteners that hold up to the vibration and pressure changes of coastal storm season.
Trusted Brands We Service in San Leon
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems for agitating stubborn coastal buildup, Nikro negative-air machines for contained debris extraction, and filtration products from Honeywell and Aprilaire for homeowners who want upgraded protection after cleaning. We stock common repair materials and replacement components for faster turnaround on San Leon jobs, so you’re not waiting on a parts run while your system sits open. When we recommend a product, we explain exactly what it does for your specific duct configuration and why it matters in a humid salt-air environment.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in San Leon Homes
- Gray salt film on blower wheels and return trunks. After a storm surge or even sustained bay winds, technicians find a fine mineral deposit inside return ducts that inland homes never produce. This film corrodes metal components and circulates musty odors until properly removed.
- Mold and mildew in flexible duct insulation. San Leon’s year-round humidity penetrates the vapor barriers of older flex duct, saturating the fiberglass layer and creating active microbial growth that standard dust removal won’t address.
- Corroded metal ductwork in elevated homes. The salt-laden Gulf breeze that makes San Leon pleasant also accelerates rust in galvanized steel ducts, particularly in original 1950s – 1970s cottages where the ductwork has never been upgraded.
- Poorly sealed joints from post-storm repairs. After Ike and subsequent weather events, many homes received emergency HVAC work that restored cooling but left duct connections gapped or taped with materials that failed within a season.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in San Leon, TX
Honest pricing starts with honest ranges. A typical residential air duct cleaning in San Leon runs $280 – $480 for a full system cleaning using rotary brush and negative-air methods.
