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.

Southlake’s not like other DFW suburbs. The homes are bigger, the lots are wooded with cedar and elm corridors, and the HVAC systems work harder, longer. We’ve been cleaning ducts here since 2004, and we know the difference between a quick vent wipe and a proper restoration of designed airflow in a 6,000-square-foot custom build with three air handlers. Our Air Duct Cleaning team brings Rotobrush rotary systems, Nikro negative-air machines, and HEPA filtration on every truck. We document what we find, photograph what we clean, and leave you with before-and-after images of runs you can’t see into yourself.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Southlake’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve built our reputation in Southlake on The Garrison Standard: arrive when we said we would, price it in writing before touching anything, complete the job by the book, and leave the site clean. No exceptions. Our 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.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and accountable. You know who’s walking into your home before they arrive. 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 for a scheduling question.
We understand Southlake’s housing stock. Most homes here were built from the 1990s forward, with long multi-branch duct runs, multiple zones, and flexible duct in attics rather than the short, simple systems found in older inner-ring suburbs. That matters for pricing, equipment selection, and how long the job takes. We don’t quote blind.
Vent Cleaning in Southlake
Vent Cleaning in Southlake means more than wiping grilles. The supply and return vents in these large custom homes are the visible endpoints of runs that can stretch 40, 60, sometimes 80 feet through attic flex duct. When we clean vents here, we’re checking for restricted airflow at the termination, measuring static pressure at the grille, and verifying that what you’re seeing on the wall matches what’s happening in the duct behind it. A typical vent cleaning as part of a full system service in Southlake runs $150 – $300 per zone, with whole-home vent packages starting around $450.
Supply Vent Restoration
Supply vents push conditioned air into your living spaces. In Southlake’s humid climate, these runs stay damp through long cooling seasons, and the pollen that makes it past your filter can stick and accumulate. We use Rotobrush agitation tools with HEPA-contained vacuum extraction to remove buildup without releasing it into your home.
Return Vent Deep Cleaning
Return vents are where Southlake’s pollen problem shows first. On wooded lots off Randol Mill Avenue or in neighborhoods near Bob Jones Park, returns can pull visible green-yellow film within weeks of a cleaning. We remove the grilles, clean the boot and first few feet of duct, and document the condition with photos you can review.
Air Duct Repair in Southlake
Air Duct Repair in Southlake addresses the dislocated collars, crushed flex runs, and failed mastic seals that develop in large homes with long attic ductwork. The expansion and contraction of flexible duct across hot Southlake attics loosens connections over time. Separated collars and gaps at plenum connections bleed conditioned air into unconditioned space, driving up energy bills and starving distant rooms of airflow. Typical repairs in Southlake range from $200 – $450 for single-point collar reseating or flex replacement, to $800 – $1,400 for multi-branch repairs involving access, insulation restoration, and pressure testing.
Collar Reseating and Sealing
We find dislocated collars regularly on Southlake’s multi-system homes. The collar is the connection point between your main trunk and the branch line serving a room or zone. When it separates, you’re cooling your attic. We reseat with mechanical fasteners and seal with duct mastic rated for Texas attic temperatures, not tape that will fail in the first summer.
Crushed Flex Run Replacement
Flex duct in Southlake attics gets compressed by storage, damaged by vermin, or pinched during other trades’ work. A crushed 8-inch flex run serving a second-floor bedroom might deliver half its designed airflow. We replace with properly sized, insulated flex, support it to prevent sagging, and verify airflow at the register before we leave.
Trusted Brands We Service in Southlake
Our trucks carry professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush and Nikro, plus filtration and air quality products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies. These are the same tools commercial crews use, not hardware-store gear. For Southlake homeowners, that means we can source Honeywell and Aprilaire replacement media and filtration upgrades without special-order delays. If your system needs a filtration upgrade after cleaning – common on homes pulling heavy pollen loads – we stock the components and can install same-visit.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Southlake Homes
- Multi-system homes quoted as single-system jobs. A Southlake custom home with three or four air handlers and 150+ linear feet of ductwork cannot be properly cleaned at a single-system flat rate. The second and third systems are often the most clogged, and skipping them leaves the job half done.
- Return-side neglect on cedar-elm lots. In Southlake’s wooded neighborhoods, return grilles and air handler cabinets collect pollen film within weeks. A cleaning that addresses only supply ducts ignores the side of the system that’s working hardest.
- Non-HEPA equipment stirring debris into living spaces. Long Southlake duct runs require true negative-pressure containment. Shop-vacs and non-HEPA machines agitate dust and pollen without capturing it, leaving your home dirtier than when we arrived.
- Missing documentation for invisible work. You cannot see inside your ducts. Without before-and-after photos and static pressure readings, you have no proof the work was performed to standard. We provide both on every Southlake job.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Southlake, TX
Full residential air duct cleaning in Southlake typically costs $450 – $950, with most custom homes in the $650 – $850 range. Commercial systems start around $1,200 and scale with square footage and system count. What moves you within that range: number of air handlers, total linear footage of ductwork, accessibility of attic runs, and whether repairs or sealing are needed.
We price per system, not per vent. A Southlake home with three air handlers gets three system prices, clearly itemized. The price is written down before any work starts, and it does not move at the door. No per-vent add-ons, no “surprise” discoveries that inflate the invoice. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying and exactly what it covers.
Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate. We’ll ask about your home’s size, system count, and any airflow issues you’ve noticed, then give you a range you can plan around.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Southlake
Each air handler is a complete, separate system with its own duct network, filter, and coil. A 6,000-square-foot home near Bob Jones Park might have three systems and 200 linear feet of ductwork. Quoting a single-system flat rate forces the technician to rush or skip entire branches. Our per-system pricing ensures every handler, every trunk, and every branch gets full agitation, extraction, and documentation. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll walk through your home’s layout.
On heavily wooded lots in Southlake, visible pollen film can return within two to four weeks during peak cedar season (December – January) or elm/oak season (February – March). A late-spring cleaning, after the major pollen waves have passed, typically holds clear through the summer cooling season. A winter cleaning can be erased by cedar pollen before spring arrives. We schedule with this calendar in mind when Southlake homeowners ask our advice.
You should receive dated before-and-after photos of key duct runs, static pressure readings at the air handler and selected supply grilles, and a written summary of findings and work performed. We provide all three on every Southlake job. If a company won’t show you photos of your own ducts, you have no proof the work happened.
Yes. Southlake’s long, humid cooling season keeps duct interiors damp, which traps pollen and can accelerate microbial growth compared to drier climates. Most Southlake homeowners with standard filtration benefit from cleaning every three to five years. Homes on wooded lots with heavy pollen exposure, or homes with multiple pets, may need attention every two to three years. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll assess your specific conditions.
Yes, and we recommend it. Dryer vent cleaning in Southlake typically runs $150 – $250 as an add-on to a duct cleaning visit. The same truck carries the equipment, and scheduling both together saves a trip charge. We inspect the full run to the exterior termination, remove lint buildup, and verify proper exhaust flow before we leave.
