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 Dickinson, TX
Air duct cleaning in Dickinson typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. Dickinson homes present distinct challenges: many sit in FEMA flood zones, carry post-Harvey repair histories, and face year-round humidity from Galveston Bay that accelerates mold and corrosion inside ductwork. At Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, we price every job in writing before we start, back it with our 365-Day Done Right Promise, and dispatch crews who understand Dickinson’s mix of 1960s ranch homes, pier-and-beam originals, and newer slab-built subdivisions. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Dickinson Homes Are Different
Dickinson’s housing stock tells a story of two eras. The older neighborhoods near Dickinson Bayou and along FM 517 are filled with single-story ranch homes from the 1960s through the 1980s, many on pier-and-beam foundations with galvanized metal trunk lines and floor registers that sit close to the ground. After Hurricane Harvey, a significant share of these homes had duct systems partially replaced or patched by crews working fast under emergency conditions. We regularly find mud, silt, and mold inside trunk lines that were never properly remediated.
The newer subdivisions built from the 1990s onward, particularly south of FM 646, typically use flexible ductwork run through tight attic spaces. These homes sit on slab-on-grade foundations, which often means ductwork buried beneath the slab or squeezed through access hatches no larger than a ceiling tile. Cleaning these systems takes longer and requires different equipment than open-basement markets up north.
The climate compounds everything. Dickinson sits just inland from Galveston Bay in a humid subtropical zone. Summers are hot and muggy, winters mild, and the salt air plus near-constant humidity creates condensation inside attic ducts, rust on metal components, and mold growth on organic debris. HVAC systems here run almost year-round, so contamination accumulates faster than in drier Texas markets. This is not a place where duct cleaning is optional preventive care for most homes; it’s a response to real, accelerated conditions.
Our Main Dickinson Services
Most Dickinson homeowners call us for one of three jobs. Each has its own page with full pricing, process details, and neighborhood-specific notes.
Air Duct Cleaning in Dickinson
Our Air Duct Cleaning in Dickinson service covers the full supply and return system, from the air handler to each register. In Dickinson, we often encounter post-flood residue in older homes near the bayou and heavy mold loading in attic flex duct from the humidity. We use rotary brush systems and negative-air machines to dislodge and extract debris, then verify flow improvement before we leave. Every job gets a written price upfront and before-and-after photos of your own ducts.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Dickinson
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Dickinson service removes lint buildup from the dryer through the exterior termination. In Dickinson’s older pier-and-beam homes, vent runs are often longer and more convoluted, passing through crawl spaces that collect moisture. In newer slab homes, vents frequently terminate through the roof, requiring ladder work and specialized tools. Blocked dryer vents are a leading cause of house fires; we clear them completely and check airflow with a meter.
Duct Sealing in Dickinson
Our Duct Sealing in Dickinson service closes leaks in the duct system using mastic and metal-backed tape, or aerosolized sealant for inaccessible runs. Dickinson’s post-Harvey repairs left many systems with gaps at joints and patches; the humid climate also degrades tape adhesives faster than in drier regions. Sealed ducts reduce energy bills, improve room-to-room temperature balance, and prevent attic dust and humidity from entering the living space.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Dickinson
No permit is required for routine duct cleaning or dryer vent cleaning in Dickinson. Duct sealing that involves modifying the HVAC plenum or replacing duct sections may require a permit from the City of Dickinson Building Department; we handle permit verification before any work that might trigger it. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll check your specific job against current requirements.
We typically schedule within 3 – 5 business days for standard duct cleaning in Dickinson. Post-flood or mold-remediation jobs may take longer to prepare containment and sequencing. Our phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, so you can book or ask questions without waiting for callback windows.
It depends on what got wet and for how long. Metal trunk lines that were submerged often corrode from the inside; flex duct that held water almost always needs replacement. We inspect with a camera first, show you what we find, and give a written recommendation before any cleaning or replacement work. In Dickinson’s flood zones, this inspection is a standard part of our first visit.
