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 Staten Island
Air duct cleaning in Staten Island typically runs $350 – $650 for a full residential system and $800 – $2,400 for commercial work, with most jobs scheduled within a few business days. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Garrison Partners family, and our crews serve Staten Island from our New York City office. We know the borough’s housing stock inside out: the raised ranches of Midland Beach, the split-levels of Oakwood Beach, the detached colonials of Tottenville. Many of these homes still run original ductwork from the 1960s through the 1980s that has never seen a professional cleaning. Our Air Duct Cleaning team arrives in uniform, with background-checked technicians and written prices agreed before any equipment touches your vents. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Staten Island’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been in business since 2004, and the Garrison Standard we operate under was built for customers who’ve been burned by bait-and-switch pricing and no-shows. In Staten Island, that means something specific. Homeowners here have watched contractors cut corners after Hurricane Sandy, and they can spot a moving target from across the room.
Our 365-Day Done Right Promise is written on every job, not implied. If the work fails within a year, we return and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. The price is written down before we start, and it does not move at the door. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and expected to arrive inside the quoted window, complete the job by the book, and leave the site clean. That’s The Garrison Code. Phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No voicemail loops. No callback queues.
We serve Staten Island with the same equipment commercial crews use: Rotobrush rotary brush systems, Nikro negative-air machines, and filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, Abatement Technologies, and Guardsman. These aren’t hardware-store tools. They’re professional-grade systems that can handle the unique contamination profile we find in Staten Island homes.
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Staten Island
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Staten Island covers office buildings, retail spaces, medical clinics, schools, and multi-unit residential properties where code compliance and indoor air quality standards are non-negotiable. Staten Island’s commercial stock includes everything from historic commercial buildings near the ferry terminal to newer medical plazas in New Dorp, each with different duct configurations and occupancy loads. A typical commercial system cleaning here runs $800 – $2,400 depending on square footage, system complexity, and contamination level. We use Nikro negative-air machines to maintain containment during the work, paired with HEPA filtration so the building stays operational.
Code Compliance and Documentation
Commercial properties in Staten Island need documented cleaning for insurance, lease agreements, and health department requirements. We provide before-and-after photos, moisture readings, and written reports that satisfy adjusters and inspectors on first submission.
Minimizing Downtime
We schedule commercial work around your hours, not ours. Our crews can section off zones so the building stays partially occupied, and we coordinate with your facilities manager to avoid disrupting patient hours, retail traffic, or office operations.
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Staten Island
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Staten Island address a contamination profile you won’t find in Manhattan or Brooklyn. The borough sits downwind of the New Jersey refineries and the heavy truck corridor across the Goethals Bridge. That leaves a fine, dark, oily particulate in return-air systems that ordinary dusting won’t touch. Combine that with Staten Island’s humid subtropical climate, high water table, and chronic dampness in low-lying shore neighborhoods, and you get ductwork that collects both industrial soot and biological growth. Two problems. Different cleaning methods. Often in the same house. A typical full residential system cleaning in Staten Island runs $350 – $650, with video inspection, supply and return branch cleaning, and trunk line agitation included.
Residential System Cleaning
Most Staten Island homes are 1950s – 1990s single-family detached or semi-attached houses with forced-air furnaces and sheet-metal or flex duct runs. Our rotary brush systems break loose buildup in the main trunk, while negative-air machines pull it out of the house entirely, not just redistribute it.
Post-Flood and Biohazard Assessment
After water intrusion, cleaning isn’t always the right call. In Midland Beach and Oakwood Beach, we regularly find flood-silt lines inside sheet-metal duct runs that were dried in place after Sandy instead of replaced. We document everything with video inspection, moisture readings, and photos so your insurer knows why replacement is necessary.

Trusted Brands We Service in Staten Island
We stock parts and filtration products from Aprilaire, Abatement Technologies, Guardsman, and Rotobrush, so Staten Island customers don’t wait on backorders from out-of-state warehouses. Aprilaire media filters handle the fine particulate load that refinery-corridor air deposits in local systems. Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration runs on our negative-air machines during every job, containing contaminants instead of spreading them. Guardsman products protect restored duct surfaces in flood-prone properties. When a Tottenville homeowner needs a filter upgrade or a New Dorp medical clinic needs documented filtration specs, we have the components on hand and the technical sheets ready.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Staten Island Homes
- Flood-silt reservoirs in post-Sandy ductwork. On the South Shore, especially Oakwood Beach and Midland Beach, technicians regularly find flood-silt and mold inside ductwork that was never replaced after Sandy, only dried out. These jobs require documented assessment, not routine cleaning.
- Oily refinery particulate in return-air systems. Staten Island’s position downwind of New Jersey refineries and the Goethals Bridge corridor coats return ducts in a fine, dark, oily film that standard agitation alone won’t lift. Rotary brush systems with appropriate solvent contact are required.
- Condensation and mold in crawlspace duct runs. Raised ranches and split-levels throughout the borough have ducts running through unheated crawlspaces and attics. Staten Island’s humid summers and damp winters create chronic condensation, turning these spaces into mold reservoirs.
- Rodent intrusion in aging flex duct. Original flex duct from the 1970s and 1980s, common in Great Kills and Annadale, develops gaps at seams where rodents enter, nest, and contaminate the system with droppings and urine that require source removal, not just surface cleaning.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Staten Island, NY
Most full residential system cleanings in Staten Island fall between $350 and $650. Commercial work starts around $800 and can reach $2,400 for larger or more complex systems. What moves the number: square footage, number of supply and return branches, accessibility (crawlspaces and attics take longer), contamination level (routine dust versus post-flood biohazard), and whether video inspection or documentation for insurance is required.
We do not quote per-vent teaser prices that balloon at the door. We do not do coupons. We give one flat price per system, agreed in writing before work starts. That price covers the entire job: setup, agitation, negative-air extraction, register cleaning, and site cleanup. If we find conditions that require replacement rather than cleaning, we document it, explain it, and price that separately. No surprises. No pressure.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Staten Island
They must be replaced if floodwater saturated the duct insulation or left visible silt lines inside the trunk line. We run video inspection on every post-flood call, log moisture readings and photos, and document whether sections are cleanable or must be replaced for insurer approval. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free assessment.
Staten Island’s position downwind of New Jersey refineries and the Goethals Bridge truck corridor deposits a fine, dark, oily particulate that standard household dusting and basic filter changes won’t capture. This material adheres to duct walls and recirculates until professional agitation and negative-air extraction remove it at the source.
Yes. Our rotary brush systems, negative-air machines, and containment protocols meet NADCA guidelines for source removal, and we document the work with before-and-after photos on every job. Our technicians are trained to those standards as part of The Garrison Code.
Most older Staten Island systems with original sheet-metal or flex duct from the 1960s – 1980s handle MERV 8 – 11 without airflow restriction. Higher MERV ratings can strain aging blowers. We assess your specific system during the estimate and recommend the right filter for your equipment and contamination load.
Yes. We clean office buildings, retail spaces, medical clinics, schools, and multi-unit residential properties throughout Staten Island, with documented reports for insurance and code compliance.
