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 St. Augustine Shores
Air duct cleaning in St. Augustine Shores typically runs $350 – $650 for a complete residential system, with most jobs scheduled within a few days and completed in three to five hours. Our crews work the full St. Augustine Shores community, from homes along Shores Boulevard to the neighborhoods tucked behind the golf course, and we know the flex-duct systems common here require a gentler, more deliberate cleaning approach than rigid metal ductwork.
We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Garrison Partners family, and we’ve been dispatching crews to northeast Florida since 2004. Our scheduling office coordinates from Miami, but the technicians who arrive at your St. Augustine Shores door are local to this area, background-checked, uniformed, and equipped with Rotobrush rotary systems and Nikro negative-air machines. If your vents are pushing musty air, your energy bills have climbed without explanation, or you’ve noticed uneven cooling between rooms, call us at (361) 326-5060. We’ll give you a written price before any work starts, and every job carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is St. Augustine Shores’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
St. Augustine Shores homeowners call us back because we show up inside the window, price in writing, and leave the site clean. That’s The Garrison Standard, and it’s how every Hollis crew operates, whether we’re working a ranch home off Wildwood Drive or a property near the Intracoastal.
Our reputation here is built on handling the specific problems this community’s housing stock creates. The 1970s and 1980s flex-duct systems in St. Augustine Shores sag, separate at attic connections, and accumulate biological growth in ways that newer metal ductwork simply doesn’t. We’ve cleaned ducts in enough of these homes to recognize the failure patterns before we pull the first vent cover.
Phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No voicemail loops, no callback queues. When you call (361) 326-5060, you’ll speak with someone who can schedule your St. Augustine Shores appointment, explain what the visit will involve, and email you a confirmation with your technician’s name.
Our Air Duct Cleaning team also coordinates with our Dryer Vent Cleaning in St. Augustine Shores and Duct Sealing in St. Augustine Shores crews, so if your inspection turns up disconnected runs or deteriorated mastic, we can address it in the same visit rather than sending you back to the scheduling queue.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in St. Augustine Shores
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in St. Augustine Shores means clearing supply and return ducts, registers, and the air handler cabinet of accumulated dust, biological growth, and construction debris that restrict airflow and degrade indoor air quality. Most St. Augustine Shores homes we service are single-story concrete-block ranches built between 1975 and 1990, with original or once-replaced flex-duct runs in low-pitch, unconditioned attics. A typical whole-system residential cleaning here runs $350 – $550 for homes under 2,500 square feet, and $500 – $650 for larger homes or those with multiple zones. We use Rotobrush rotary brush systems on the rigid trunk lines and careful negative-air extraction on the fragile flex runs, so we clean thoroughly without tearing aged foil backing.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts push conditioned air into your living spaces, and in St. Augustine Shores they’re often the first to show blockage. We remove each register, agitate the duct walls with rotary brushes where the construction allows, and extract debris with negative-air machines. You’ll see before-and-after photos of your own ducts, not stock images.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the handler, and because they’re under negative pressure, they collect more dust and dander. In this community’s slab-on-grade homes, return plenums are frequently located in humid garage or closet spaces where biological growth is common. We inspect with a video camera first, then clean and document the results.
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in St. Augustine Shores
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in St. Augustine Shores covers the small professional buildings, medical offices, retail spaces, and property-management portfolios that keep this community functioning. Commercial systems here typically use metal trunk lines with flex drops, and because St. Augustine Shores’s commercial stock is newer than its residential housing, we can often use more aggressive agitation methods on the rigid mains while still protecting flex connections. A typical commercial cleaning runs $600 – $1,200 depending on system size and access difficulty, with larger properties or those requiring after-hours work quoted individually. We coordinate with building managers to minimize tenant disruption, and we provide written documentation of work completed for insurance and lease compliance.
Full System Cleaning
Full system cleaning includes supply and return ducts, registers, grilles, diffusers, and the air handler cabinet. For St. Augustine Shores commercial clients, this means one coordinated visit rather than multiple contractor schedules, and one written price that doesn’t shift once we’re on site.
Video Inspection
We feed cameras through ductwork before and after cleaning, so you see exactly what was there and what remains. This is particularly valuable for commercial property managers in St. Augustine Shores who need to document maintenance for tenants, insurers, or corporate compliance departments.
Trusted Brands We Service in St. Augustine Shores
Hollis technicians work on HVAC systems paired with filtration and air-quality equipment from Aprilaire, Abatement Technologies, and Guardsman, among others. We don’t sell equipment we can’t service, and we don’t service brands we can’t source parts for. If your St. Augustine Shores home has an Aprilaire whole-house dehumidifier tied to the duct system, or a Guardsman UV light installed at the coil, we know how to clean around those components without damaging them or voiding their warranties. Our vans carry common fittings and replacement media for the brands we mention, so if your cleaning reveals a failed filter housing or deteriorated duct seal, we can often fix it during the same visit rather than ordering parts and rescheduling.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in St. Augustine Shores Homes
- Sagging flex-duct runs in low-pitch attics. The 1970s and 1980s flex duct common in St. Augustine Shores was rated for roughly 25 years of service, and most of it is now well past that. We find runs that have pulled free of collars, collapsed in the middle, or compressed against roof decking where insulation has shifted. These restrictions kill airflow and strain the air handler.
- Biological growth on duct interiors. Northeast Florida’s humidity, combined with salt-laden coastal air and near-constant cooling-season operation, keeps attic ductwork damp enough to support growth. We see it most often on the foil backing of flex duct and at the seams of metal trunk lines where mastic has degraded.
- Disconnected attic connections after storms. Summer thunderstorms and nor’easters blow through St. Augustine Shores with enough force to shift attic insulation and flex-duct supports. Technicians here routinely find supply collars completely separated from trunk lines, dumping conditioned air into attics and pulling hot, humid attic air into the return side.
- Deteriorated duct insulation and foil backing. Decades of attic heat and humidity have degraded the vapor barriers on flex-duct runs throughout the community. Once the foil backing cracks, fiberglass insulation gets wet, compacts, and loses its R-value, while the inner liner becomes exposed to tear during cleaning or normal airflow.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in St. Augustine Shores, FL
Here’s what air duct cleaning costs in the St. Augustine Shores market, based on the homes and commercial spaces we actually work on:
| Service | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Residential whole-system cleaning (under 2,500 sq ft) | $350 – $550 |
| Residential whole-system cleaning (over 2,500 sq ft or multi-zone) | $500 – $650 |

| Video inspection add-on | $75 – $150 |
| Dryer vent cleaning (bundled with duct cleaning) | $100 – $175 |
What moves you within these ranges? System size matters most. So does access: low-pitch attics in St. Augustine Shores ranch homes take longer to navigate safely than cathedral ceilings or commercial drop ceilings. The condition of your ductwork matters too. Heavily contaminated systems or those with multiple disconnected runs require more time and more careful handling. We assess all of this during your free estimate visit, put the price in writing before any work begins, and that’s the price you pay. No per-vent add-ons, no equipment charges that appear after we’re in your home. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule your free estimate.

Yes. We work the full community, from homes along Shores Boulevard and Wildwood Drive to the neighborhoods behind the golf course and properties near the Matanzas River corridor. The flex-duct housing stock is similar across these areas, so our approach is consistent, but we adjust for each home’s specific attic access and system condition.
We don’t advertise emergency duct cleaning because duct contamination is rarely an immediate safety issue. That said, our phones are answered by a live person 24/7, and if you’re dealing with a system failure related to duct collapse or severe blockage, we’ll prioritize scheduling and can often accommodate next-day service in St. Augustine Shores. Call (361) 326-5060 to discuss your situation.
Prices in St. Augustine Shores are generally comparable to Jacksonville and slightly lower than Orlando or Miami metro rates. The main cost driver here is attic access: the low-pitch, tight attics common in 1970s and 1980s St. Augustine Shores ranches slow the work compared to homes with more generous clearance. We quote each job individually after seeing your system.
Every Hollis job in St. Augustine Shores is backed by our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the cleaning fails to resolve the issue we identified, or if a connection we serviced separates within a year, we return and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. This is written on every invoice, not implied. For questions about coverage on your specific system, call (361) 326-5060.
