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 Tice
If you’re noticing a musty blast from your vents each morning when the AC kicks on, you’re dealing with what we see on nearly every call in Tice: microbial growth inside original flex duct that’s been condensing in 130°F attics for decades. Hollis Air Duct Cleaning has crews working Tice neighborhoods from State Road 82 down to Palm Beach Boulevard, and we know the difference between a routine brush-out and the attic crawl this area’s housing stock actually demands. Call us at (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate with a written price that won’t change once we’re on site.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Tice’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been serving Southwest Florida since 2004, and our dispatch team coordinates scheduling from our Miami office to get crews to Tice properties inside the quoted window. That matters here, where most homes were built as worker housing for the east Fort Myers agricultural belt and still run on 1970s – 90s flex duct that fails differently than newer systems.
Tice homeowners call us back because we price in writing before touching anything, and because our 365-Day Done Right Promise means if the work fails within a year, we return and make it right at no charge. No negotiating, no pro-rating. Roy Castellanos built this operation on The Garrison Standard: show up squared away, explain what the equipment does in plain terms, and leave the site clean.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and our phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You’ll know who’s arriving before they walk through your door.
Air Duct Inspection in Tice
Air Duct Inspection in Tice starts with understanding that most local homes weren’t built to Florida’s 2002 duct-insulation codes, so we’re not just looking for dust buildup; we’re identifying crushed flex runs, separated attic plenum connections, and fiberglass liner that’s been wet-cycling through our humid subtropical summers. A typical inspection in Tice runs $149 – $249 and includes video documentation of what we find inside your system.
What We Document
We run a camera through your supply and return trunks to show you exactly where the flex has kinked, where mastic seals have failed, and where biological growth has taken hold in the fiberglass. In Tice, this usually means tracing original R-4 duct across attic trusses in 1700 – 2500 square foot ranch homes where the attic access is a tight ceiling hatch.
When Tice Homeowners Need This
Schedule an inspection if your morning startup smell is getting stronger, if your cooling bills have climbed without explanation, or if you’ve never had the ductwork looked at since buying a pre-2000 home near Tice’s older neighborhoods off Hanson Street or around the Orange River corridor.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Tice
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Tice is almost always an attic-intensive job, not a quick vent-vacuuming, because the original flex duct in these concrete-block ranches and manufactured homes collapses and grows mold within a couple of seasons in our climate. We use a Rotobrush rotary brush system to agitate debris loose from the duct walls, then a Nikro negative-air machine to pull it out of your home entirely rather than redistributing it. A typical whole-system residential cleaning in Tice runs $349 – $649 depending on system size and accessibility.
The Attic Reality
Our crews expect to crawl. Tice attics hit 130°F in peak season, and the flex duct draped across trusses has often sagged into contact with insulation or ceiling drywall, creating kinks that restrict airflow and trap condensation. We clear those obstructions and note where duct sealing or replacement may be the smarter next step.
What “Clean” Means Here
We don’t just remove visible dust. In Tice’s humidity, we’re targeting the microbial load that causes that morning mustiness. Our process includes HEPA filtration on the vacuum exhaust, and we’ll show you before-and-after photos of your own ducts so you know the work happened.
Trusted Brands We Service in Tice
We carry professional-grade equipment and filtration products from Abatement Technologies, Guardsman, and Rotobrush, the same tools commercial crews use in hospitals and schools. For Tice homeowners, this means we can source Honeywell and Aprilaire filtration upgrades without the wait times you’d face ordering direct. If your system needs a media filter upgrade after cleaning, we stock the common sizes and can install same visit.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Tice Homes
- Crushed flex duct in attic plenums. The original R-4 flex in Tice’s 1970s – 90s housing stock was never meant to span attic trusses for forty years. Heat softens the plastic, weight collapses the core, and airflow drops by half before homeowners notice anything wrong.
- Mold and mildew in fiberglass duct liner. Relative humidity above 75% for months at a time means cold supply ducts sweat overnight. The fiberglass liner soaks it up, and by morning you’ve got that characteristic musty blast when the compressor starts.
- Separated duct connections at plenum takeoffs. Tice’s near-constant cooling season from May through October means thermal expansion and contraction cycles hundreds of times per year. Mastic cracks, tape fails, and conditioned air dumps straight into the attic.
- Return duct leaks pulling attic air into living space. In single-story ranches with ceiling-mounted returns, a cracked return trunk sucks 130°F attic air mixed with insulation particles and rodent debris straight into what you’re breathing. We find this on better than half our Tice inspections.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Tice, FL
Whole-system residential air duct cleaning in Tice typically runs $349 – $649 for a standard 1,700 – 2,500 square foot home with one HVAC system. Commercial duct cleaning starts around $899 and scales with square footage and system count. Video inspection alone is $149 – $249, and we apply that toward your cleaning if you proceed.
What moves the price: attic accessibility (tight hatches add labor), number of supply and return vents, whether we find disconnected runs that need resealing, and how contaminated the system is. We do not quote per-vent pricing, and we do not bait with a low teaser that balloons at the door. The price is written down before any work starts, and it does not move.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Tice
We typically schedule Tice appointments within 3 – 5 business days, and our dispatch team coordinates from our Miami office to keep arrival windows tight. Call (361) 326-5060 to check current availability; estimates are always free.
Yes, we work throughout Tice including the original ranch-home neighborhoods off State Road 82, the manufactured home communities near Palm Beach Boulevard, and the Orange River corridor. The housing age and duct type varies by area, and our crews arrive prepared for the attic conditions they’ll find.
We do not advertise emergency dispatch for duct cleaning because it’s a scheduled, diagnostic job, not a break-fix emergency. If you’re experiencing sudden airflow loss or suspect a disconnected duct, we’ll prioritize your inspection and can often slot you within 24 – 48 hours. Call (361) 326-5060 to discuss what you’re seeing.
The low quotes usually come from per-vent teaser pricing that doesn’t include the attic work Tice homes actually need, or from crews who vacuum registers and call it done. We quote whole-system cleaning with written scope, and we also handle Dryer Vent Cleaning in Tice and Duct Sealing in Tice if your inspection reveals those needs. The price we write down is the price you pay.
If any part of our cleaning fails within one year, we return and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. This is backed in writing on every job, not a verbal assurance. In Tice’s harsh attic environment, that matters; flex duct can separate after cleaning if it was already degraded, and we stand behind our work if it does. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule your free estimate.
