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 Woodstock
Air duct cleaning in Woodstock, GA typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-home residential system, and every Hollis job starts with a written price that doesn’t move once we’re inside. Our crews serve Woodstock from our Atlanta dispatch office, and we know the split personality of this market: the 1980s subdivisions off Towne Lake Parkway with decades of pollen buildup in rigid metal ductwork, and the fresh construction in Ridgewalk and Towne Lake where builder-grade flex duct is handed over full of drywall dust. If you’re smelling that “new house” odor months after closing, or if your older home’s returns are pulling yellow-green pollen through every spring, call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate and video inspection.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Woodstock’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been part of the Garrison Partners family since 2004, and our Air Duct Cleaning team has worked enough Woodstock homes to know the difference between a Ridgewalk new build and a ’90s brick ranch near Little River without walking through the door. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and expected to arrive inside the quoted window, price the job in writing before touching equipment, and leave the site clean. That’s The Garrison Code, and it’s how we operate on every Woodstock job.
Our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every duct cleaning 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. Our phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so when you’re staring at a vent cover coated in construction dust or pollen, you reach a human who can schedule you, not a voicemail loop.
Air Duct Repair in Woodstock
Air Duct Repair in Woodstock is often the missing piece after a cleaning, especially in newer subdivisions where builder-grade flex duct was installed fast and cheap. The repair work involves sealing disconnected boots, replacing crushed or torn flex runs, and securing takeoffs that have pulled loose from the main trunk, so your system stops pulling attic air or crawlspace humidity into the living space. In Woodstock’s climate, where summer humidity stays near 90°F and crawlspace moisture is a constant battle, unsealed ductwork doesn’t just waste energy; it introduces mold-friendly conditions directly into your airflow. Most residential duct repairs in Woodstock run $200 – $500 depending on accessibility and material length.
Sealing Leaky Boots and Takeoffs
The junction where flex duct meets the main trunk, called the boot, is where most Woodstock new builds fail. We apply duct sealing mastic and mechanical fasteners to create a permanent seal, then verify with a smoke pencil or pressure test so you know the fix held before we leave.
Replacing Crushed or Kinked Flex Runs
Flex duct routed through tight Woodstock attics often gets compressed by storage boxes or installer shortcuts. We replace damaged sections with properly supported flex or rigid metal where the run allows, restoring designed airflow to rooms that have been starved since move-in day.
Ductwork Cleaning in Woodstock
Ductwork Cleaning in Woodstock means source removal, not just blowing dust around. We use a negative-air method, hooking a Nikro HEPA-filtered vacuum to your air handler to create suction through the entire system, then agitating the interior walls with a Rotobrush rotary whip so debris breaks loose and gets carried out, not redeposited. For Woodstock’s older homes with rigid metal ductwork, we often find 20 – 30 years of accumulated pollen, skin flakes, and insulation fragments coating the trunk lines. For new construction in Towne Lake and Ridgewalk, the debris is construction-grade: drywall dust, joint compound powder, sawdust, and occasionally the odd screw or zip tie left by the trim crew. A typical whole-home ductwork cleaning in Woodstock runs $350 – $650, with larger homes or commercial systems scaling from there.
Video Inspection Before and After
We run a camera through your main trunk and several branch lines before we start, so you see what we’re dealing with, and again after we’re done, so you see what came out. In Woodstock’s new builds, that before footage is often shocking to homeowners who assumed a new house meant clean ducts.
HEPA Filtration During the Job
Our negative-air machines exhaust through HEPA filtration rated at 99.97% at 0.3 microns, which matters in Woodstock’s ozone nonattainment area where outdoor air quality is already under pressure. We don’t add to your indoor load while we’re supposed to be removing it.
Trusted Brands We Service in Woodstock
We clean and service systems using equipment from Rotobrush and Nikro for the agitation and negative-air work, and we stock filtration upgrades from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman for Woodstock homeowners who want to protect what we just cleaned. A MERV 11 or 13 filter installed after a thorough duct cleaning actually performs to rating instead of clogging immediately on construction dust or pollen loads. If your system uses an Aprilaire media cabinet or a Honeywell electronic air cleaner, we can match the replacement media and show you the pressure-drop difference between a loaded and fresh filter. Most filtration upgrades in Woodstock run $150 – $400 installed, depending on cabinet size and access.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Woodstock Homes
- Construction debris in new builds. Woodstock’s Ridgewalk and Towne Lake homes are routinely handed over with drywall dust, sawdust, and PVC shavings sitting in supply and return ducts. A house that is only months old can have dirtier duct interiors than a 1990s subdivision off Towne Lake Parkway.
- Pollen saturation in older homes. Cherokee County’s spring pine and oak pollen is among the heaviest in the South, and 30-year-old rigid metal ductwork with original flex takeoffs acts like a reservoir, rereleasing pollen every time the blower cycles until source removal is performed.
- Mildew and rust in crawlspace systems. Woodstock’s humid subtropical climate keeps crawlspace humidity high year-round. Attic- and crawlspace-routed flex duct in older homes often shows rust flaking on metal trunks or mildew spotting on flex interiors, especially near the Little River drainage area.
- Unsealed boots wasting filtration upgrades. Builder-grade homes with cheap flex duct and unsealed boots pull attic air and crawlspace humidity into the system at every cycle, so even a premium Aprilaire or Honeywell filter is fighting a losing battle against unfiltered infiltration.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Woodstock, GA
Whole-home residential duct cleaning in Woodstock typically runs $350 – $650 for a single system, with most single-family homes in the $400 – $500 range. Commercial systems or homes with multiple zones scale from $600 – $1,200 depending on square footage and access. Dryer vent cleaning, which we often pair with duct cleaning in Woodstock homes, adds $120 – $200. Duct sealing as a standalone service runs $300 – $800, and when bundled with cleaning, we price the package in writing before any work starts. What moves the number: system size, number of supply and return registers, accessibility (crawlspace vs. basement vs. attic), and whether video inspection reveals damage requiring repair. We do not quote per-vent pricing, and we do not bait with a low teaser that balloons at the door. The price we write down is the price you pay. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate; we’ll ask about your home’s age, square footage, and any specific complaints so we can give you an accurate range before we schedule.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Woodstock
Yes, and probably more urgently than a 20-year-old home. Our tech pulled a camera inspection through the main trunk of a new build near Ridgewalk in Towne Lake and found a half-inch layer of drywall dust and joint compound powder coating the inside of the flex, plus drywall screws and cut zip ties sitting at the first takeoff. We set up negative pressure at the air handler, ran agitation tools and a Rotobrush whip through every supply and return, then HEPA-vacuumed the boots and sealed the leaking joints the builder left open. The homeowner’s “new house smell” complaint cleared up the next day and their MERV rating upgrade actually started working the way it should. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Builder-grade flex duct with unsealed boots is the culprit. Woodstock’s explosive growth along the I-575 corridor means speed of construction often wins over quality of install. Cheap flex gets crushed in attic routing, boots get taped instead of mechanically fastened, and the system leaks from day one. Older homes with rigid metal ductwork at least have structural integrity; they may be dirty, but they’re not falling apart. Call (361) 326-5060 for a video inspection to see which category your home falls into.
Every March-April, yellow-green pine pollen coats Woodstock’s cul-de-sacs and settles into HVAC returns, so the busiest duct-cleaning season starts the moment the pollen drops. Homes with original 1980s-90s ductwork have had decades of this accumulation, and even new homes pull pollen through unsealed boots and poorly filtered returns. Source removal with negative-air agitation is the only way to clear the reservoir; filter changes alone just add a clean layer on top of a dirty system. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule before peak season.
We start with a video inspection so you see the condition of your ducts, then seal all registers and create negative pressure at the air handler using a Nikro HEPA-filtered vacuum. We agitate the interior walls with a Rotobrush rotary whip, working supply and return lines systematically so debris breaks loose and gets carried out. We clean the boots and air handler cabinet, replace your filter if you’ve purchased an upgrade, and run a final video pass to verify results. The whole process takes 3 – 5 hours for a typical Woodstock home. Call (361) 326-5060 for an exact quote.
It can help significantly, but only as part of a system approach. Woodstock’s designation in metro Atlanta’s ozone nonattainment area means outdoor air quality is already compromised, so your home’s envelope and ductwork matter more. Removing pollen reservoirs, construction debris, and mold-friendly dust loads from your ducts reduces one major indoor source. Sealing leaks at boots and takeoffs stops the system from pulling unfiltered attic and crawlspace air. Upgrading to a MERV 11 or higher filter, properly fitted, captures what remains. We address all three on most Woodstock jobs. Call (361) 326-5060 to discuss your specific symptoms and system setup.
