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 Dryer Vent Cleaning Across Brentwood
Dryer vent cleaning in Brentwood typically runs $150 – $280 for a standard single-run residential system, and every Hollis job starts with a written price we agree on before touching anything. We’re the Brentwood crew homeowners call when their dryer takes two cycles to finish a load, when they smell burning lint, or when they want the actual vent run inspected rather than just the trap wiped clean. Our technicians dispatch from the San Francisco Bay Area office and carry the full Rotobrush and Nikro rig needed for attic flex-duct work, which is what most Brentwood homes require. Call (361) 326-5060 and a live person picks up, day or night.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Brentwood’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve been cleaning dryer vents in Brentwood since the first tract homes went up in Deer Ridge and Shadow Lakes, and we know what separates a real cleaning from a lint-trap wipe. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team works under The Garrison Standard: arrive inside the quoted window, price in writing before work starts, complete the job by the book, and leave the site clean. That standard is backed by our 365-Day Done Right Promise, if the work fails within a year, we return and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. You know who’s walking into your home before they arrive. We use professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies, the same tools commercial crews use, not hardware-store attachments that can’t reach a 22-foot attic run. And every Hollis location is independently owned and operated, so the crew serving Brentwood lives by local accountability, not a corporate script.
Brentwood homeowners aren’t shopping for the cheapest bid. They’re shopping for the bid they can trust. We give one flat price per system, agreed before work starts, with before-and-after photos of your own vent run. No per-vent pricing. No invoice that balloons once the van is in the driveway.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Brentwood
Brentwood Dryer Vent Cleaning for commercial properties covers multi-unit laundry rooms, property-management portfolios, and HOA-maintained facilities where accumulated lint across multiple dryers creates real fire risk and energy waste. We price these jobs per system after a site walk, not over the phone, because commercial setups in Brentwood’s 1990s-era apartment complexes often share chase walls or terminate through roof caps that need camera inspection before quoting. A typical commercial dryer vent cleaning in Brentwood runs $180 – $350 per run depending on length, termination type, and access difficulty.
Multi-Unit Property Inspections
Property managers in Brentwood’s larger complexes off Lone Tree Way and Sand Creek Road schedule annual camera inspections of shared vent chases. We document every run with photo evidence, flag separations at transition boots, and provide written reports for insurance and HOA records. The inspection itself runs $120 – $190 if no cleaning is required.
Code-Compliant Termination Upgrades
Older Brentwood commercial buildings often terminate dryer vents through outdated wall caps or into attic spaces, a configuration that violates current fire code. We reroute these runs to exterior wall or roof terminations using rigid metal duct and proper clearance, priced per linear foot after inspection.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Brentwood
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Brentwood means the full run, from the dryer’s transition duct through the wall or attic flex, to the exterior termination cap. We don’t stop at the lint trap. A standard residential dryer vent cleaning in Brentwood costs $150 – $280 for a single run, with vent rerouting or boot reconnection adding $80 – $150 if we find separated joints during camera inspection. Every job includes a written price before we start and your own before-and-after photos.
Camera Inspection and Lint-Pathway Verification
We run a borescope through the full vent length before touching anything. In Brentwood’s slab-on-grade tract homes, we’re checking for the separated transition boots that clay soil movement and 130°F attic heat cause. Finding a disconnection changes the job from cleaning to reconnection-plus-cleaning, and we tell you before we proceed.
Negative-Pressure Agitation Cleaning
Our Nikro negative-air machine creates suction at the termination cap while Rotobrush agitation tools break lint loose inside the run. This two-step method pulls packed lint columns out rather than pushing them deeper into the wall or attic. It’s the difference between a vent that looks clean and a vent that actually moves air.
Trusted Brands We Service in Brentwood
We carry parts and termination caps from Guardsman, Rotobrush, and Abatement Technologies on every Brentwood truck, so most repairs don’t wait for a parts run. Guardsman bird guards and vent caps hold up to the Delta wind and summer heat that degrades cheaper hardware-store units in two seasons. Rotobrush rotary tools handle the flex-duct runs common in Brentwood’s 2000s-era two-story homes without tearing the liner. And Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration keeps lint and fine particulate contained during the job, not blown through your laundry room. If your dryer is a Whirlpool, LG, Samsung, Maytag, or GE, we’ve cleaned its vent type before. The brand of dryer matters less than the condition of the run behind it.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Brentwood Homes
- Separated transition boots in attic flex duct. Brentwood’s expansive clay soils shift slab foundations during dry-season groundwater drawdown, pulling apart the connection between the rigid wall duct and the flexible attic run. We find this in maybe one of every three Brentwood tract homes we inspect, and it’s invisible from the laundry room.
- Packed lint columns in wall and roof terminations. The long runs in two-story Brentwood homes, often 18 to 25 feet, create low-velocity zones where lint accumulates. The dryer still runs, just slower, so homeowners don’t call until they’re running two cycles per load.
- Improper terminations into garages or attics. Some 1990s Brentwood builds terminate dryer vents into the garage or an attic chase rather than exterior air. This is a fire code violation and a mold risk. We reroute these to proper wall or roof caps.
- Bird guard failure and nesting. Brentwood’s Delta-influenced winters push rodents and birds toward warm attic spaces. A missing or failed bird guard becomes a nesting site, blocking the vent entirely and creating a fire hazard.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Brentwood
Every 12 to 18 months for most Brentwood homes, and annually if you dry heavy fabrics like towels or bedding weekly. The combination of long attic runs, 130°F+ summer attic temperatures baking lint onto duct walls, and clay-soil movement stressing joints means Brentwood vents accumulate faster and separate more readily than homes in stable-soil climates. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free inspection if you’re past the 18-month mark.
We charge one flat price per system, not per vent or per foot. A standard single dryer run in Brentwood is $150 – $280, period. We write the price down before we start, and it does not move. Per-vent pricing is a teaser tactic that lets companies quote low and invoice high once they find “extra” vents. We don’t do that. You’ll know your exact cost after our camera inspection, before any work begins.
Brentwood’s expansive clay soils shrink during dry-season groundwater drawdown, shifting slab foundations and pulling apart duct joints at the attic transition boot. A vent that was connected in March can be separated by September, dumping lint into your attic instead of outside. That’s why our Duct Sealing in Brentwood inspections always include a camera check of the boot connection, not just the visible run. It’s a repair call disguised as a cleaning call, and we catch it before we quote.
Yes. Every Hollis job includes timestamped before-and-after photos of your specific vent run, not stock images. You’ll see the lint column we removed, the joint we reconnected, and the airflow reading improvement. If a company won’t show you your own ducts, they’re not cleaning them thoroughly. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule an inspection with photo documentation.
We don’t promise same-day dispatch because dryer vent cleaning is a scheduled maintenance job, not an emergency service, and we won’t rush a camera inspection or cut corners to hit an arbitrary timeline. We typically schedule within 2 – 4 business days, and our phones are answered by a live person 24/7 to find the first slot that works for your calendar. If you smell burning or suspect an active fire hazard, call the fire department first, then call us for the inspection and cleaning after.
