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.

West Lake Hills isn’t like the flatland suburbs to the east. The live oak canopy that makes this enclave desirable also creates a duct environment you won’t find in Austin proper or Round Rock. Pollen, mold spores, and organic debris pulled from protected greenbelt land cycle through HVAC systems almost year-round because cooling season here stretches from March through November. We’ve cleaned ducts in the hillside homes off Terrace Mountain Drive and in the canyon lots near Wildcat Hollow where attic temperatures regularly exceed 140°F, baking debris into flex duct that should have been serviced years ago.
Our Air Duct Cleaning team arrives inside the quoted window, prices the job in writing before touching equipment, and leaves the site clean. That’s The Garrison Standard, and it’s how we’ve operated since 2004.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is West Lake Hills’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve built our reputation in West Lake Hills one scheduled appointment at a time, not through coupon drops or teaser rates that balloon at the door. Homeowners here know what they’re getting: a background-checked, uniformed technician who explains the equipment and the findings before starting work.
Our response time to West Lake Hills is typically next-day or within 48 hours for standard residential cleaning, with scheduling coordinated from our Dallas-Fort Worth office to keep crews routed efficiently through the Hill Country. We don’t promise same-day because duct cleaning is a scheduled, methodical job, not an emergency dispatch. What we do promise is arrival inside the window we give you.
The local knowledge matters. We know which West Lake Hills homes built in the 1970s and 1980s have original sheet-metal trunk lines with failing mastic seals, and which post-2000 remodels along Redbud Trail added square footage without resizing returns. That context means we spot problems faster and explain them in plain terms.
Every job carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If the work fails within a year, we return and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. No negotiation, no runaround.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in West Lake Hills
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in West Lake Hills means removing the oak pollen, mold spores, and dust accumulation that builds in unconditioned attics and limestone homes with multiple HVAC zones. A typical single-system home here runs $350 – $550, while larger custom homes with three or four zones range $550 – $750. We use Rotobrush rotary brush systems on supply lines and Nikro negative-air machines on returns to dislodge and extract debris without pushing it deeper into the system.
Most West Lake Hills homeowners schedule cleaning every three to five years, though homes backing directly onto greenbelt or with visible yellow pollen film on registers should consider every two to three years.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts push conditioned air into your living spaces. In West Lake Hills, these lines often carry a fine yellow coating of cycled oak pollen that standard filters can’t catch. Our rotary brush system scrubs the interior walls while negative-air suction pulls debris to our collection unit, not into your rooms.
Return Duct Cleaning and Video Inspection
Returns pull air back to the handler and are where we find the heaviest buildup. We offer video inspection before and after so you see what was in there. The footage belongs to you, and we review it together on site.
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in West Lake Hills
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in West Lake Hills covers the medical offices along Bee Cave Road, the professional suites near Westlake Drive, and the smaller retail spaces that serve this community. Commercial systems here range $800 – $2,500 depending on square footage, number of handlers, and access complexity. We work around business hours and coordinate with property managers to minimize disruption.
West Lake Hills commercial buildings often share the same Hill Country challenges as residences: pollen infiltration through rooftop units, condensation in flex duct runs, and biological growth in systems that run continuously through long cooling seasons.
Full System Cleaning for Multi-Zone Buildings
Commercial properties with multiple HVAC zones require coordinated cleaning of all handlers, trunk lines, and branch ducts. We map the system first, clean zone by zone, and provide documentation for maintenance records.
Post-Construction and Remodel Cleaning
West Lake Hills sees steady renovation activity in its 1970s – 1990s housing stock converted to professional use. We clean construction debris from duct systems before occupancy, with written certification for building inspectors.
Trusted Brands We Service in West Lake Hills
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems, Nikro negative-air machines, and filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman. These are the same tools commercial crews use, not hardware-store gear. For West Lake Hills customers, this means we can source replacement filtration components and accessory parts without the delays that come from ordering unfamiliar brands. If your system uses Honeywell media filters or Aprilaire whole-house units, we stock the correct sizes and can install them during the same visit. We also handle Dryer Vent Cleaning in West Lake Hills and Duct Sealing in West Lake Hills using compatible materials and methods.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in West Lake Hills Homes
- Oak pollen cycling and yellow register film. After heavy spring rains, live oak pollen washes off roofs and gets pulled into outdoor condenser units, then into return ducts. Homeowners often mistake the fine yellow film inside registers for construction dust. It’s pollen that has cycled through the system and requires full negative-air duct cleaning, not just a filter change.
- Condensation and biological growth in unconditioned attics. West Lake Hills summers regularly hit 100°F+ for weeks, and attic duct runs in pier-and-beam or slab homes often sit in 140°F+ heat. When cool air moves through, condensation forms on flex duct exterior and interior surfaces, creating conditions for Aspergillus and other mold spores to colonize.
- Undersized returns from added square footage. Many West Lake Hills homes were remodeled with additional bedrooms or expanded living areas without resizing the original return ductwork. The system runs longer, works harder, and pulls more debris through undersized openings.
- Failing mastic seals on original sheet-metal trunk lines. Homes built from the 1970s through the 1990s often have sheet-metal trunks with mastic that has dried and cracked. Conditioned air leaks into attics before reaching rooms, and attic air gets pulled into returns, contaminating the system.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in West Lake Hills, TX
We price by the system, not by the vent. One flat price per HVAC system, agreed in writing before work starts.
| Service | Typical Range in West Lake Hills |
|---|---|
| Single-system residential cleaning | $350 – $550 |
| Multi-zone residential (2 – 4 systems) | $550 – $750 |
| Commercial, small (under 5,000 sq ft) | $800 – $1,400 |
| Commercial, medium (5,000 – 15,000 sq ft) | $1,400 – $2,500 |
| Video inspection (standalone) | $150 – $250 |
| Dryer vent cleaning (with duct service) | $100 – $180 |
What moves the price: number of HVAC systems, accessibility of attic or crawl space duct runs, presence of mold or heavy biological growth requiring antimicrobial treatment, and whether video inspection is included. We do not quote per-vent prices because that structure incentivizes cutting corners. You get one written price for the complete job, and it does not change when the technician arrives.

We do not classify duct cleaning as an emergency service because it is a scheduled, methodical process that cannot be rushed without compromising results.

For urgent indoor air quality concerns, we prioritize scheduling and can often arrange next-day service.
West Lake Hills pricing is comparable to central Austin and slightly higher than Round Rock due to longer drive times, steeper site access, and the prevalence of multi-zone custom homes that require more labor. The difference is typically $50 – $100 for equivalent residential systems.
