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 Cinco Ranch
Dryer vent cleaning in Cinco Ranch typically runs $180 – $340 for a standard single-family home, and most jobs take 60 – 90 minutes from arrival to test cycle. If your dryer’s taking longer than one cycle, your lint trap looks clean, and the laundry room still runs hot, the blockage is almost certainly in the vent run, not the machine.
We serve Cinco Ranch from our Houston dispatch office, with crews that know the area’s master-planned layout and its specific failure patterns. We’ve worked homes from the original 1990s sections near Cinco Ranch Boulevard through the newer builds south of Spring Green, and we’ve cleaned vents in outbuildings and detached garages on the rural edges of the community. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team arrives inside the quoted window, prices the job in writing before touching anything, and stands behind the work with our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Cinco Ranch’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve been in business since 2004 as part of the Garrison Partners family, and our reputation in Cinco Ranch is built on showing up when we said we would and leaving the site clean. Homeowners here aren’t looking for the lowest coupon price; they’re looking for a crew that won’t track mud through a two-story foyer or leave foil tape scraps in the attic insulation.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and we send the technician’s name and photo before arrival so you know who’s walking through your door. Phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, seven days a week, no voicemail loops. The price we write down before work starts is the price you pay. If the repair fails within a year, we return and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. That’s The Garrison Standard, and it’s how we operate on every Cinco Ranch job.
Dryer Vent Installation in Cinco Ranch
Dryer Vent Installation in Cinco Ranch is most often needed when a homeowner replaces an electric dryer with gas, relocates the laundry room during a remodel, or discovers that the existing vent run violates current code. A proper installation here means accounting for the area’s specific challenges: unconditioned attics that exceed 140°F in summer, expansive clay soils that shift the foundation and stress every joint in the run, and the longer vent paths common in two-story homes with interior laundry closets.
We use professional-grade materials and equipment from Rotobrush and Abatement Technologies, sized to the specific run length and dryer BTU rating. A typical new vent installation in Cinco Ranch runs $350 – $650 for a standard through-the-wall or roof-termination job, with complex reroutes or gas-line coordination at the higher end. Every installation receives a written price before work begins and is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Code-Compliant Rerouting
Many original Cinco Ranch homes were built with vent runs that terminate too close to the AC condenser or under a covered patio, both of which violate current International Residential Code. We reroute to a proper exterior termination with correct clearances, using rigid or semi-rigid ducting rather than the foil flex that sags and collects lint.
Gas Dryer Conversions
Switching from electric to gas requires a new vent run rated for the higher exhaust temperatures, plus coordination with your plumber for the gas line. We handle the vent side, inspect the existing penetration for heat damage, and ensure the new run maintains proper pitch back toward the termination to prevent condensation pooling.
Dryer Vent Repair in Cinco Ranch
Dryer Vent Repair in Cinco Ranch usually starts with a homeowner noticing extended dry times, a hot laundry room, or a burning dust smell. The root cause in this market is almost always one of three things: a sagging or bellied section in the attic run where lint has packed solid, a separated joint at the attic penetration caused by heat cycling and foundation movement, or a failed termination cap that’s let birds or wasps nest in the line.
Repair costs in Cinco Ranch typically fall between $150 – $280 for joint resealing, section replacement, and termination cap replacement. More extensive repairs involving multiple damaged sections or access through finished ceiling run $280 – $450. We inspect with a camera before quoting, so you see what we see. The price is written down before any work starts.
Attic Joint Separation
The foil flex joint where the vent penetrates the attic floor is the weakest point in most Cinco Ranch homes. Heat cycling above 140°F weakens the tape adhesive, while clay-soil foundation movement flexes the framing below. We cut out the damaged section, reconnect with proper supports, and seal with mastic rated for the temperature swing.
Sag and Belly Removal
Long attic runs in two-story homes often sag between supports, creating low points where lint and moisture collect into a dense plug. We remove the bellied section, re-run with proper slope toward the termination, and add supports where the original builder skimped. The dryer breathes again, and the fire hazard is eliminated.
Trusted Brands We Service in Cinco Ranch
We stock parts and materials from Rotobrush, Abatement Technologies, and Guardsman for fast turnaround on Cinco Ranch repairs. Rotobrush rotary systems handle the mechanical agitation for heavy lint deposits; Abatement Technologies supplies the HEPA containment and negative-air tools we use when a vent run has leaked exhaust into the attic space; Guardsman filtration products protect the home’s air during the work. We don’t order parts from a warehouse across the state and make you wait a week. Our Houston office keeps common termination caps, semi-rigid ducting, and mastic in stock, which means most repairs finish same-visit.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Cinco Ranch Homes
- Attic-run bellies packed solid with lint. The long, unconditioned vent runs in most Cinco Ranch two-story homes sag between trusses over time, creating low spots where lint and moisture form a dense, fire-prone plug. The dryer’s lint trap looks normal because the blockage is hidden 20 feet away in the attic.
- Heat-cycled foil joints separating at the attic penetration. Summer attic temperatures above 140°F degrade tape adhesive, while clay-soil foundation movement flexes the connection from below. The result is a leak that dumps hot, moist exhaust into the attic and robs the dryer of airflow.
- Rural dust and pollen mixing with lint on outbuilding and edge-of-community properties. Homes near unpaved roads or open land around Cinco Ranch pull in heavy grit that accelerates buildup. A homeowner who cleans only interior supply and return ducts still has a blocked dryer line loaded with this mixed debris.
- Failed roof terminations letting in pests or rain. The plastic or cheap metal caps used in original construction crack after a decade of UV exposure and thermal cycling. We replace with proper bird-guarded terminations that stay sealed.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Cinco Ranch, TX
A standard dryer vent cleaning in Cinco Ranch runs $180 – $280 for a single-story home with a short through-the-wall run. Two-story homes with attic runs, which describes most of Cinco Ranch’s housing stock, typically fall in the $240 – $340 range because of the additional access, inspection, and length. Outbuilding or detached garage dryers with longer buried or exposed runs start around $280 and can reach $400 if significant disassembly is needed.
What moves the price: run length, number of bends, whether the termination is roof or wall, condition of existing ducting, and whether we find damage that needs repair before cleaning is safe. We do not quote per-vent or per-foot prices that balloon at the door. One flat price per system, agreed in writing, before any work starts. Estimates are free. Call (361) 326-5060.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Cinco Ranch
Every 6 to 12 months for most Cinco Ranch homes, and every 6 months if you’re on a rural edge with unpaved road dust or running the dryer heavily for a large household. The combination of long attic runs, clay-soil foundation movement stressing joints, and heavy pollen loading means lint accumulates faster here than in climates with shorter vent paths and stable soil. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule and we’ll assess your specific run.
Your previous home likely had a short, straight through-the-wall vent run. Most Cinco Ranch homes have two-story plans with 20-plus feet of duct snaking through an unconditioned attic, plus joints that flex and gap from foundation movement. That geometry traps lint in ways a simple wall penetration never will. The visible trap is clean because the blockage is hidden upstream.
Yes. Cinco Ranch’s expansive clay soils shift seasonally, and that movement transmits through the framing to every penetration and joint in the attic vent run. We’ve reseparated foil flex joints that were tight two years prior. It’s why we inspect the attic penetration on every cleaning, not just the termination end.
Yes. We clean dryer vents on workshop buildings, barns, pool houses, and detached garages throughout the Cinco Ranch area. These runs are often longer, exposed to weather, or buried underground, so we inspect with a camera first and quote a flat price before starting. The same 365-Day Done Right Promise applies.
A proper cleaning includes full mechanical agitation of the entire run from dryer connection to termination, camera inspection of joints and belly points, airflow measurement before and after, and repair or replacement of damaged sections found during the work. We leave you with before-and-after photos of your own duct and a written record of the work. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
