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.

We’ve worked in enough homes along the Loxahatchee River and back toward Tequesta Country Club to know the local pattern. Salt aerosol from the intracoastal doesn’t just coat your windows; it films the inside of return plenums and corrodes flex duct collars faster than anything you’ll see twenty miles inland. That brackish air, combined with year-round pollen from the pine and oak scrub, creates a stubborn buildup that standard inland cleaning approaches often miss. Our technicians check for the green pollen stains and salt-damaged foil backing that are signatures of this coastal pocket.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Tequesta’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Hollis has been part of the Garrison Partners family since 2004, and our South Florida crews have built a reputation in Tequesta by showing up when we said we would and pricing the job before we start.

Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed; you know who’s arriving before they knock. 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.

We know the local housing stock. The 1960s-80s ranch homes near Jupiter Inlet Colony with original flex duct runs that have never been touched. The newer build-outs in The Bluffs and North Passage with slab-on-grade construction forcing ductwork through unconditioned attic space. That local knowledge changes how we approach the job and what we look for before we start.
Ductwork Cleaning in Tequesta
Ductwork Cleaning in Tequesta means clearing the salt-pollen film that accumulates in coastal duct systems and checking for corrosion damage that inland crews rarely encounter. Most Tequesta homes run cooling ten or eleven months a year, pushing constant airflow through ductwork that sits in hot, humid attic space. A typical residential Ductwork Cleaning in Tequesta runs $350 – $550 for a single system, with larger homes or systems with heavy contamination reaching $650. Commercial systems start around $800 and scale with square footage and access difficulty.
What We Clean and How
We use Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines to agitate and extract debris from supply and return lines. The rotary brush scrubs the duct walls while the negative-air machine maintains suction, preventing contaminated air from escaping into your home. In Tequesta’s concrete-block homes with attic duct runs, we pay special attention to flex duct connections where condensation and salt corrosion weaken the seals.
When Tequesta Homeowners Should Schedule
If you’ve noticed musty airflow when the AC kicks on, visible dust puffing from vents, or uneven cooling between rooms, your ductwork is likely circulating more than temperature-controlled air. Homes near the river or intracoastal should consider inspection every three to four years given the accelerated corrosion risk from salt-laden air.
Air Duct Inspection in Tequesta
Air Duct Inspection in Tequesta starts with a video camera run through your supply and return lines to document what we’re dealing with before we quote a cleaning. Most homeowners in Tequesta schedule an inspection after buying a home, particularly the 1970s-80s inventory near Tequesta Country Club where ductwork may be original and never documented. A standalone Air Duct Inspection in Tequesta costs $150 – $250; if you proceed with cleaning, we credit the inspection fee toward the work.
What the Camera Reveals
Our video inspection shows corrosion on flex duct collars, biological growth from condensation in unconditioned attics, and pollen accumulation patterns that indicate return duct leaks pulling in garage or lanai air. You’ll see the footage with us. There’s no mystery about what we’re proposing to clean or why.
Inspection for Real Estate Transactions
Buyers in North Passage and The Bluffs increasingly request duct documentation before closing, especially on homes with slab-on-grade construction where all ductwork is hidden above the ceiling. We provide written findings with video stills that can be attached to inspection reports or shared with HVAC contractors for repair quotes.
Trusted Brands We Service in Tequesta
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary systems, Nikro negative-air machines, and filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies. We stock common replacement components for these brands so Tequesta customers aren’t waiting on shipped parts when a corroded collar or damaged flex run needs addressing during cleaning. The same tools and parts our commercial crews use are what we bring to residential jobs in Tequesta. No hardware-store gear, no improvised solutions. If your system uses Aprilaire media filters or Honeywell electronic air cleaners, we inspect those components as part of the ductwork assessment and note replacement needs in our written findings.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Tequesta Homes
- Salt corrosion on flex duct collars. The brackish air along the Loxahatchee River and intracoastal corrodes the foil backing and metal clamps that secure flex duct to plenums. We check these connections first; a failed collar leaks conditioned air into your attic and pulls humid, salty air back into the system.
- Condensation biological growth in unconditioned attics. Tequesta’s slab-on-grade homes route ductwork through attic space that hits 120°F in summer and traps humidity year-round. When the AC cycles off, residual moisture on duct walls becomes a growth surface. Our inspections document this with video before any cleaning begins.
- Return duct leaks near garages and lanais. Fine green pollen stains on return ductwork are a telltale sign we’ve learned to spot in Tequesta homes. These leaks pull unfiltered coastal air, pollen, and garage fumes into your system, loading the ductwork with debris that standard filters can’t catch.
- Original ductwork in 1970s-80s ranch homes. The ranch inventory near Jupiter Inlet Colony and Tequesta Country Club often has flex duct runs that have never been cleaned or inspected. Decades of Florida humidity and salt air degrade the inner lining, releasing particulate into airflow even when the ducts look intact from the outside.

Whole-home air duct cleaning in Tequesta ranges from $350 for a compact single-system home to $650 for larger residences with heavy contamination or multiple air handlers.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Tequesta
Most whole-home air duct cleaning in Tequesta costs between $350 and $650, with the majority of single-system homes falling in the $400 – $500 range. Commercial systems and homes with multiple air handlers or heavy contamination run higher. We provide a written, flat price before any work begins, and estimates are free. Call (361) 326-5060 for an exact quote on your system.
Low teaser quotes in the Tequesta market often use a per-vent structure that balloons once the technician is inside your home, or they skip the return side entirely and only clean visible supply vents. Hollis prices the full system as one flat fee, agreed to in writing before we start. No per-vent math, no surprise add-ons, no leaving the returns full of the salt-pollen film that defines this coastal area’s duct problems.
We show you before-and-after video from our inspection camera. You’ll see the corrosion, buildup, and debris in your ducts before we clean, and you’ll see the cleared lines after. Our technicians also leave written documentation of what was cleaned, what condition your components were in, and any recommendations for repair or replacement. The 365-Day Done Right Promise backs it all: if something fails within a year, we return at no charge.
Given Tequesta’s salt air, high pollen load, and year-round cooling, we recommend inspection every three to four years and cleaning when video inspection shows significant buildup. Homes near the river or intracoastal, or those with original 1970s-80s ductwork, may need more frequent attention due to accelerated corrosion and flex duct degradation. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule an inspection and we’ll tell you honestly whether cleaning is needed now or can wait.
Yes. We handle Dryer Vent Cleaning in Tequesta and Duct Sealing in Tequesta with the same written pricing and guarantee structure. Dryer vent cleaning is often scheduled alongside duct cleaning since both use the same access points and equipment. Duct sealing with mastic addresses the leaks we commonly find in Tequesta’s attic-run systems, improving efficiency and reducing the pollen and salt air infiltration that loads your ductwork between cleanings. Our Air Duct Cleaning team can bundle these services on the same visit.
