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 Shady Hollow
Air duct cleaning in Shady Hollow typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system and is scheduled within a few business days, with our Austin office coordinating dispatch to your wooded lot. We know this neighborhood’s quirks: the live-oak canopy that brushes your roofline, the 1980s flex-duct that’s brittle after four decades, the cedar pollen that cakes your return vents every winter. Our crews serve Shady Hollow directly, not as an afterthought from some distant hub. Call (361) 326-5060 and you’ll reach a live person who knows the difference between a home off Slaughter Creek and one near the Shady Hollow Community Park.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Shady Hollow’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been cleaning ducts in the Austin metro since 2004, and Shady Hollow’s semi-rural character keeps us busy year-round. The Garrison Standard means we arrive inside the quoted window, price the job in writing before touching your system, and leave the site clean. Our Air Duct Cleaning team has pulled squirrel nests from attic runs near Shady Hollow Drive and replaced crushed flex duct under pier-and-beam homes off Brodie Lane more times than we can count.
Shady Hollow homeowners call us back because the price they sign off on is the price they pay. No per-vent add-ons. No “surprise, you need this too” once we’re in the door. 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. Background-checked, uniformed technicians. Phones answered live, 24 hours a day. That’s the standard we operate under, whether we’re at a 1975 ranch on a septic system or a 1992 build near the greenbelt.
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Shady Hollow
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Shady Hollow address a specific set of problems you won’t find in newer, treeless subdivisions. We rotary-brush the supply lines, negative-air vacuum the returns, and inspect the trunk with a video camera because this neighborhood’s mature canopy drops debris straight into attic vents and foundation gaps. A typical residential cleaning in Shady Hollow runs $350 – $550 for a single system; larger homes with dual units or extensive attic ductwork can reach $650.
Whole-System Cleaning
We clean every accessible component: supply ducts, return ducts, trunk lines, plenums, and registers. In Shady Hollow’s 1970s-1990s homes, this matters more because original flex-duct has likely sagged, torn, or accumulated decades of pollen and leaf litter that newer PVC systems simply don’t trap the same way.
Video Inspection
Before and after footage goes on a tablet you can watch. In Shady Hollow, we often show homeowners squirrel-chewed flex duct, acorn piles in attic trunks, or cedar pollen caked an inch thick on evaporator coils. You see what we see. No guesswork, no trust-me language.

HVAC Duct Cleaning in Shady Hollow
HVAC Duct Cleaning in Shady Hollow means dealing with systems that run hard nine months a year against Central Texas heat and then fight through December-to-February cedar pollen season. Your evaporator coil and blower motor work overtime here, and when the return plenum pulls in sticky oak and cedar pollen, that residue lines every duct surface downstream. A typical HVAC duct cleaning in Shady Hollow costs $400 – $600 when coil and blower service are included; basic duct-only cleaning starts around $350.
Coil and Blower Service
We clean the evaporator coil and blower assembly as part of a full HVAC duct cleaning because dirty coils make clean ducts pointless. In Shady Hollow, coils clog with the same sticky pollen that coats your car every spring. We use Nikro negative-air equipment and Rotobrush rotary systems to remove it without damaging delicate fins.
Pier-and-Beam Duct Access
Many Shady Hollow homes sit on pier-and-beam foundations with flex duct running through crawl spaces. Wildlife gets in through foundation vents, and we’ve found disconnected runs, crushed sections, and nests under floors near Slaughter Creek and throughout the older sections off Manchaca Road. We inspect and document what we find.
Trusted Brands We Service in Shady Hollow
Our equipment comes from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies, the same names commercial crews specify. For filtration upgrades, we stock Aprilaire and Guardsman media filters sized for the 3-to-4-ton systems common in Shady Hollow’s 2,000-3,500 square foot homes. We don’t sell you a filter that fits “most” systems; we measure your return grille and stock what your unit actually takes. That means no waiting on parts shipped from Dallas or Houston. If we’re cleaning your ducts and you want better filtration before cedar season hits, we can often install it the same visit.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Shady Hollow Homes
- Squirrel and raccoon nests in attic duct runs. The live-oak canopy touches rooflines across Shady Hollow, and animals use those branches as highways into soffit vents. We regularly pull nesting material, acorns, and even juvenile squirrels from supply trunks near Brodie Lane and Shady Hollow Drive.
- Cedar pollen caking return plenums. Central Texas cedar season runs December through February, and Shady Hollow’s dense tree cover traps that pollen close to homes. It sticks to coil fins and duct walls in a way dry dust doesn’t, requiring rotary brush agitation plus negative-air extraction to remove.
- Crushed or disconnected flex duct under pier-and-beam homes. Original 1980s flex duct under Shady Hollow’s raised foundations has been walked on by inspectors, disturbed by wildlife, and degraded by ground moisture. We find sections flattened to 20% airflow or completely separated at the collar.
- Leaf litter in attic air handlers. Gable vents and aging soffits on Shady Hollow’s 30-plus-year-old homes let in live-oak leaves that accumulate around blower motors and filter racks, creating fire risk and restricting airflow before the filter even loads up.
