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 Sonterra
Air duct cleaning in Sonterra, TX typically runs $350 – $650 for a full residential system and is usually scheduled within a few business days, with most jobs completed in 3 – 5 hours. We’re familiar with the tight construction schedules and allergy-driven urgency that Sonterra homeowners face. Call us at (361) 326-5060 for a free written estimate.
Sonterra isn’t a place where crews get lost looking for the turnoff. We know the gated entries off Sonterra Parkway, the townhome clusters near Marshall Road, and the newer enclaves still finishing out near the Blanco River corridor. Our Air Duct Cleaning in Sonterra teams dispatch from our Dallas-Fort Worth coordination office, but the technicians who arrive at your door are working Sonterra jobs that same week. They understand that a home near the Sonterra Country Club with three HVAC zones and 12-foot ceilings presents a different scope than a townhome off Huebner with a single packaged unit. That local familiarity means we size the equipment and the crew correctly before we pull into your driveway, not after we’ve already set up.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Sonterra’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been handling Air Duct Cleaning calls in the far North San Antonio corridor long enough to recognize the patterns. Sonterra homeowners don’t typically call because their ducts are 40 years old and crumbling. They call because they moved into a 2021 build near the Blanco River and the vents are still pushing drywall dust, or because their family is getting hit hard by mountain cedar season and they want to know if the ductwork is part of the problem.
Our reputation here rests on specifics, not slogans. We show up inside the quoted window. We write the price down before touching anything. Our technicians arrive in uniform, background-checked, with the Rotobrush and Nikro equipment already loaded. Roy Castellanos built this operation on The Garrison Standard, and that means no surprises at the door. If something fails within a year, we come back and make it right at no charge. That’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and it’s in writing on every Sonterra job.
Phones are answered by a live person, 24 hours a day. No callback queues, no “leave a message and we’ll get back to you Monday.”
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Sonterra
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Sonterra focus on removing accumulated debris, construction residue, and allergen loads from residential and light commercial duct systems. Because Sonterra’s housing stock is overwhelmingly post-2000 construction, our crews spend as much time addressing builder-grade flex duct issues and leftover construction dust as they do tackling years of gradual buildup. A typical full residential cleaning in Sonterra runs $350 – $650 depending on system size, access difficulty, and whether video inspection reveals blockages or disconnections.
Residential System Cleaning
We clean supply ducts, return ducts, and the main trunk lines using a rotary brush system that loosens debris and a negative-air machine that pulls it out of your home entirely. In Sonterra’s larger homes with multiple zones, we isolate each zone so nothing gets redistributed. You’ll see the before-and-after photos of your own ducts, not stock images.
Video Inspection and Documentation
Our technicians feed a camera through the ductwork before and after cleaning. In Sonterra, this often reveals flex duct that has pulled loose at the collar, a common issue in newer construction where speed sometimes outpaced precision. We show you what we found and what we fixed.

HVAC Duct Cleaning in Sonterra
HVAC Duct Cleaning in Sonterra addresses the entire forced-air pathway, from the return grilles through the air handler and out through every supply vent. Because South Texas air conditioning runs 8 – 10 months annually, Sonterra ducts are in constant circulation mode, pulling pollen, pet dander, and fine dust through the system year-round. A typical HVAC duct cleaning here runs $400 – $700 for whole-system work, with multi-zone homes toward the higher end.
Return Side Deep Cleaning
The return side pulls air from your living space back to the air handler, and it’s where we find the heaviest loading in Sonterra homes. Mountain cedar pollen, which peaks December through February, cakes onto return duct walls and the filter rack. We clean the full return pathway, not just what’s visible behind the grille.
Supply Vent and Register Detail
Each supply vent gets individual attention. In Sonterra’s high-ceiling great rooms and open plans, some supplies are 15 – 20 feet overhead. Our equipment reaches them without scaffolding or wall damage, and we protect your floors and furnishings while we work.
Trusted Brands We Service in Sonterra
We maintain and clean duct systems connected to Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies filtration and air quality equipment. Many Sonterra homes have whole-house dehumidifiers or media air cleaners installed during original construction, and our technicians know how to access and protect these components during duct cleaning. We carry common replacement parts and filter sizes for these brands, so if your Aprilaire media cabinet needs a new door seal or your Honeywell bypass humidifier requires seasonal adjustment while we’re on site, we can handle it without a return trip. The filtration products we install or recommend, including Guardsman line items, are the same ones specified for commercial jobs, sized correctly for your square footage and zone count.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Sonterra Homes
- Construction debris in newer builds. Because Sonterra continues to add inventory and sits on the Edwards Aquifer recharge zone, we regularly find drywall dust, wood particles, and even discarded insulation in ducts of homes less than five years old. The flex duct runs in attics and crawl spaces make perfect traps for this material.
- Mountain cedar pollen loading. The December through February cedar season sends a measurable wave of calls from Stone Oak and Sonterra homeowners. The pollen is fine enough to pass standard filters and sticky enough to adhere to duct walls, where it recirculates with every AC cycle.
- Disconnected flex duct at collars and junctions. Builder-grade installations in Sonterra’s rapid construction phases sometimes used minimum-code fastening methods. We find blown separations in attics that are dumping conditioned air into unused space and pulling attic heat and dust back into bedrooms.
- Multi-zone imbalance and debris migration. Sonterra’s larger homes with three or four HVAC zones often have one zone that runs harder than others. That zone’s ducts load faster with dust, and if dampers are stuck or improperly set, debris migrates from dirty zones into clean ones.
