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 know the difference between Westgate and the rest of Palm Beach County. Our crews dispatch from the Miami office and head up I-95 to reach Westgate’s grid of postwar ranches and newer townhomes, and we’ve learned that the sugar-sand soil here creates a problem you won’t find in Orlando or Tampa. After a dry spring, the first heavy summer rains wash that fine sand straight into outdoor intake vents and return grilles. Our technicians regularly find sand drifts inside the first few feet of main trunk lines, especially in west-side neighborhoods closer to the Gulf. That same humidity that keeps your AC running ten months a year keeps those ducts damp enough for biological growth to take hold on top of the sand. We’ve been handling this specific combination since 2004, and our Air Duct Cleaning team uses the same commercial-grade equipment you’d see on a hospital job: Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines that pull debris out rather than pushing it deeper.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Westgate’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Westgate homeowners aren’t looking for the cheapest coupon in the mail. They’re looking for a crew that shows up inside the window, prices the job in writing before touching anything, and doesn’t disappear if something goes wrong. That’s The Garrison Standard, and it’s how we operate every Air Duct Cleaning in Westgate appointment.
Roy Castellanos built this operation on written guarantees, not verbal promises. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every job in writing: if the work fails within a year, we come back and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. No negotiation, no runaround.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. You know who’s walking into your home before they arrive. And when you call (361) 326-5060, a live person answers, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No voicemail loops, no “leave a message and we’ll call back Monday.”
We understand the local housing stock: mostly 1950s – 1970s single-story ranch and concrete-block homes on slab foundations, many with original or retrofitted flex-duct systems that sag, retain moisture, and let sand infiltrate at the joints. That knowledge changes how we approach every job.
Ductwork Cleaning in Westgate
Ductwork Cleaning in Westgate means dealing with a problem most duct cleaners in drier climates never see: wind-driven sugar sand that settles in trunk lines and registers, combined with year-round humidity that turns that sand into a substrate for mold and mildew. We don’t just vacuum out dust bunnies. We remove the fine particulate that’s specific to this Gulf-side location, then inspect for moisture damage that could restart the cycle in six months.
A typical residential Ductwork Cleaning in Westgate runs $350 – $550 for a single-system home, with larger homes or systems with extensive contamination reaching $650. Commercial systems start around $800 and scale with square footage and access difficulty.
Rotary Brush Agitation
Our Rotobrush system sends a rotating brush through each supply and return line, knocking loose the packed sand and biological film that static pressure alone won’t move. The brush adapts to flex-duct diameters without tearing the material, which matters in Westgate’s older homes where the original ductwork has softened with age.
Negative-Air Containment
The Nikro negative-air machine creates suction at the main trunk while we work each branch line, so dislodged debris exits the system instead of settling in your living room. This matters in Westgate’s compact ranch layouts, where the air handler sits close to bedrooms and any escape of dust is immediately noticeable.
Air Duct Inspection in Westgate
Air Duct Inspection in Westgate should happen before any cleaning begins, and it’s especially valuable here because of the hidden damage our climate causes. We run a video camera through the full system, documenting sand accumulation, moisture staining, flex-duct sagging, and joint separation. You see what we see. That footage becomes the basis for your written price, so there are no surprises once work starts.
Most Westgate homeowners schedule an inspection when they notice musty odors after the AC cycles on, uneven cooling between rooms, or higher-than-expected energy bills. An Air Duct Inspection in Westgate costs $150 – $250 as a standalone service, though we apply that fee toward your cleaning if you proceed with the full job.
Video Documentation
Our inspection cameras record in high definition, and we save the footage to show you exactly where sand has built up, where moisture has stained the duct walls, and where flex-duct has sagged below the insulation line. In Westgate’s slab-on-grade homes, we pay special attention to the low points where condensation pools.
Written Findings Report
After the inspection, you receive a written summary with still images from the video, prioritized recommendations, and a fixed price for any recommended work. The price does not change at the door. That’s The Garrison Standard, and it’s how Roy Castellanos has run this operation since 2004.
Trusted Brands We Service in Westgate
We stock filters, media, and replacement components from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies, so Westgate homeowners don’t wait on shipped parts while their system sits open. Honeywell electronic air cleaners and Aprilaire media filters handle the fine sand load better than standard fiberglass, and we carry the full replacement lineup for both. Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration integrates with our Nikro negative-air machines for jobs where mold or heavy biological contamination is present. When your system needs more than cleaning, we also handle Duct Sealing in Westgate using mastic and mechanical fasteners that hold up to our humidity and sand abrasion better than tape solutions.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Westgate Homes
- Sand infiltration at intake vents. Westgate’s sugar-sand soil is fine enough to pass through standard mesh screens, and the prevailing westerly winds drive it straight into outdoor intakes. We find drifts two to three feet into trunk lines, especially after the first heavy rains of summer wash loose sand toward the house.
- Mold and mildew in flex-duct low points. The combination of year-round AC operation and high humidity means condensation rarely dries completely in sagging flex-duct runs. We see this most in original 1960s – 1970s systems where supports have failed and the duct belly-traps moisture against the slab.
- Joint separation at register boots. Thermal expansion and sand abrasion work together to loosen connections between metal boots and flex-duct collars. This pulls unconditioned attic air into the system along with more sand, driving up energy bills and contamination simultaneously.
- Clogged evaporator coils from bypassed filtration. When homeowners run systems without proper filters, or with filters that can’t capture fine sand, the coil becomes a trap for particulate. We coordinate coil cleaning with ductwork service when needed, and we also handle Dryer Vent Cleaning in Westgate for homes where lint and sand compound the airflow problem.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Westgate, FL
Full residential air duct cleaning in Westgate runs $350 – $650 depending on system size, contamination level, and access difficulty.
