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.

AfterAir Duct Cleaning Company in Buckingham, FL
Air duct cleaning in Buckingham, FL typically costs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system and is scheduled within a few business days, not rushed. Most Buckingham homes were built between the 1980s and 2000s with flex-duct runs in the attic that have never been professionally cleaned since construction, making the first service particularly important for documenting what’s actually inside the system. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Garrison Partners family, and we serve Buckingham from our South Florida dispatch office with background-checked, uniformed technicians who arrive inside the quoted window and put the price in writing before any work starts. Call us at (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Buckingham Homes Are Different
Buckingham sits in rural Lee County on large lots with private wells and septic systems, so most homeowners here have never had their ductwork professionally inspected since they moved in. The housing stock is overwhelmingly single-story ranch-style construction from the 1980s through the early 2000s, often with original fiberboard or metal ductwork and flex-duct runs snaking through the attic. That matters because flex-duct degrades where it connects to plenums and registers, and the debris buildup is different from what you’d find in a newer home with rigid sheet metal.
The climate here is the other factor. Buckingham’s humid subtropical conditions push indoor humidity above 60% for months at a stretch, and HVAC systems run almost year-round. That constant moisture creates ideal conditions for mold and mildew inside ductwork and on evaporator coils. During the June-to-September wet season, afternoon thunderstorms force water through attic vents and around flex-duct connections, leaving standing moisture in low spots that homeowners only notice when a musty smell starts coming from the supply registers. We document all of this with before-and-after photos so you see exactly what was there and what we removed.
Our Main Buckingham Services
Most calls we get from Buckingham homeowners fall into three categories: full air duct cleaning, dryer vent cleaning, and duct sealing to stop conditioned air from leaking into the attic.
Air Duct Cleaning in Buckingham
Our Air Duct Cleaning in Buckingham starts with a full inspection of the air handler, plenum, and return ducts, because most Buckingham systems have never been serviced since the house was built. We use Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines to dislodge and extract debris from flex-duct and fiberboard runs without damaging the material. The job includes cleaning the evaporator coil and blower assembly where humidity has left biological growth, and we finish with before-and-after photos of your own ducts.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Buckingham
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Buckingham addresses the longer vent runs common in ranch-style homes on large lots, where the dryer may sit far from an exterior wall. Lint accumulation in these extended runs restricts airflow, extends drying times, and creates a genuine fire hazard. We clean the full run from the dryer connection to the exterior termination, verify airflow with a meter, and note any damage to the vent hood from storm exposure.
Duct Sealing in Buckingham
Our Duct Sealing in Buckingham targets the degraded connections and seams where flex-duct meets metal plenums in attic spaces that regularly exceed 130°F. We apply duct sealing mastic and mechanical fasteners to close leaks that pull hot attic air into the system or blow conditioned air where it does no good. In Buckingham’s climate, sealed ducts can meaningfully reduce the load on an air handler that runs ten months a year.
