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.

Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Beverly’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve been serving Beverly homeowners since 2004 as part of the Garrison Partners family, and our reputation here is built on showing up inside the window and leaving the site clean. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to The Garrison Standard, which means pricing in writing before touching equipment and completing the job by the book. Phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so you’re not waiting through voicemail loops when you need to schedule.
What separates us from the coupon outfits is simple: we don’t quote a teaser price over the phone and then add charges at the door. The price is written down, agreed to, and it doesn’t move. If the work fails within a year, we return and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. That’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and it’s on every Hollis invoice.
Dryer Vent Inspection in Beverly
Air Duct Cleaning in Beverly starts with a Dryer Vent Inspection, because this city’s coastal conditions hide damage you can’t see from the laundry room. Our technician runs a borescope camera through the full vent run, from the back of the dryer to the termination cap, documenting corrosion, cracks, blockages, and improper slopes that trap lint. A typical residential inspection in Beverly runs $120 – $180, and if you proceed with cleaning, we apply that toward the full service.
What the Camera Reveals
The camera shows what a flashlight at the wall cap cannot. In Beverly Farms and Montserrat homes, we regularly find flexible duct runs in unheated attics where winter condensation has frozen and cracked the foil, creating entry points for rodents and salt-air corrosion that sheds metal flakes into the lint pathway. The wall cap looks fine. The hidden section is already failing.
When to Schedule
Book an inspection if your dryer cycle has lengthened, if you see excess lint behind the dryer, or if it’s been more than two years since the last cleaning. For Beverly’s coastal homes, we also recommend inspection before buying or selling, since corroded vent runs are a common inspection finding that can delay closing.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Beverly
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Beverly covers multi-unit buildings, laundromats, salons, and any business running high-cycle dryers that accumulate lint faster than residential units. Our crews use Nikro negative-air machines and rotary agitation tools to clean rigid metal trunk lines and branch runs in apartment complexes along Route 1A and downtown mixed-use buildings. Commercial pricing in Beverly starts at $350 for single-system jobs and ranges to $800+ for multi-drop configurations, with written quotes provided on-site before work begins.
Code Compliance for Multi-Unit Properties
Commercial dryers in Beverly must meet Massachusetts fire code and NFPA 211 standards for vent maintenance. We document before-and-after airflow readings and provide a written service report for property managers and fire inspectors. Neglected commercial vents are a leading cause of dryer fires in multi-unit buildings, and insurance carriers increasingly require annual cleaning records.
Minimizing Downtime
We schedule commercial work during off-peak hours and coordinate with building maintenance to avoid disrupting residents or customers. Our Boston office dispatches crews with the full equipment roster, so we’re not making return trips for parts.
Trusted Brands We Service in Beverly
Hollis carries professional-grade equipment from Nikro, Honeywell, and Abatement Technologies, the same tools used in commercial and healthcare settings. For Beverly customers, this means we stock rigid metal transition ducts, proper termination caps, and bird guards sized for coastal-grade installations, so most repairs are completed in a single visit without waiting on ordered parts. Our rotary brush systems and negative-air machines are maintained to manufacturer spec, not jury-rigged with hardware-store attachments.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Beverly Homes
- Salt-air corrosion from the inside out. Beverly’s coastal humidity corrodes thin aluminum foil ducting where homeowners can’t see it. The wall cap looks intact while the attic section has already rusted through, shedding metal flakes that accelerate lint buildup and restrict airflow.
- Frozen condensation cracking flex runs. In Beverly Farms and Montserrat, vent runs through unheated attics collect condensation that freezes in winter, splitting flexible duct at joints. Rodents then nest in the gaps, compounding the blockage with debris you can’t reach from either end without a camera.
- Wind-driven blockage at coastal terminations. Beverly’s exposed wall caps catch salt spray, sand, and coastal debris that interior-located terminations don’t face. A vent that tests clear in calm weather fails under load when onshore winds pressurize the termination.
- Improper rerouting by previous owners. In Beverly’s older homes, DIY reroutes often use flexible duct where rigid metal is required, create excessive runs with too many bends, or terminate too close to windows and soffits. Each bend and foot of flex reduces airflow and extends drying time.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Beverly, MA
Most residential dryer vent cleanings in Beverly fall between $180 and $340. Here’s how that breaks down:
- Standard single-story residential cleaning: $180 – $240
- Multi-story or attic-run configurations: $240 – $300
- Camera inspection (applied to service if proceeding): $120 – $180
- Vent rerouting or rigid metal replacement: $200 – $340 additional
- Bird guard or cap replacement: $85 – $150
- Commercial single-system cleaning: $350 – $500
- Commercial multi-drop configurations: $600 – $800+
What moves the price: length of the run, number of stories, accessibility (crawlspace vs. basement), whether corrosion has damaged the duct and requires replacement, and whether we find rodent nesting or water damage that needs addressing. We inspect first, quote in writing, and the price doesn’t change once agreed. No per-vent pricing, no add-ons at the door.
At a 1950s cape off Hale Street in Beverly Farms this spring, our tech ran a camera inspection on a dryer vent that snaked through the unheated attic and found the flexible run had cracked at a joint where winter condensation had frozen, with rodent nesting material packed against the transition duct. We switched the run to rigid metal, re-secured the termination cap, pulled the accumulated lint with agitation tools under negative pressure, and the customer’s dryer cycle time dropped from two loads’ worth of tumbling to one.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Beverly
Yes. The salt-laden humidity in Beverly corrodes thin aluminum foil ducting from the inside, particularly in unheated attic runs where condensation accelerates the process. We’ve replaced vent sections in Beverly Farms homes where the wall cap looked fine but the hidden flex had rusted through completely. Call (361) 326-5060 if your dryer cycles are lengthening, even without visible exterior damage.
Beverly’s coastal humidity means ambient air already carries more moisture, so your dryer works harder to reach the same dryness level. Combine that with salt-air corrosion narrowing the vent pathway, and cycle times increase even when the lint trap is clean. A restricted vent in humid air is a compounding problem that source removal fixes, not a chemical fog. Call (361) 326-5060 for an inspection.
No. Fogging a vent with antimicrobial chemicals does not remove lint, does not repair corrosion, and does not improve airflow. The lint pathway is a physical blockage, and salt-air damage is a material failure. We don’t sell fogging upsells because they don’t solve the actual problem Beverly’s coastal conditions create. We clean with mechanical agitation and negative-air extraction, then show you before-and-after photos of your own duct. Call (361) 326-5060 for real source removal.
Commercial systems use larger-diameter rigid metal trunk lines with multiple branch drops, run higher cycle counts, and must meet Massachusetts fire code documentation requirements. Our commercial crews in Beverly use Nikro negative-air machines sized for multi-drop configurations and provide written airflow readings for property managers and inspectors. Pricing starts at $350 versus $180 – $340 for residential. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule a site evaluation.
We run a borescope camera through the full vent run from dryer to termination cap, check for proper slope and support, measure airflow before and after, and document corrosion, cracks, or blockages with photos you can see. The inspection takes 30 – 45 minutes and costs $120 – $180 in Beverly, applied to cleaning if you proceed. You’ll know exactly what’s wrong before deciding on any work. Call (361) 326-5060 to book.
