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 Clearwater
Dryer vent cleaning in Clearwater typically runs $150 – $280 for a standard residential system, and most appointments are scheduled within a few business days. Call (361) 326-5060 for a written estimate before any work starts.
We’ve been dispatching crews to Clearwater from our South Florida scheduling office long enough to know the local failure patterns by heart. The salt air off the Gulf, the humidity that rarely drops below 70%, and the mix of 1950s concrete-block ranches, downtown bungalows, and stilt homes on Island Estates and Clearwater Beach all create vent problems you won’t find in inland Tampa. We also offer Air Duct Cleaning in Clearwater for the same environmental challenges. Our technicians arrive uniformed, background-checked, and equipped with Rotobrush rotary tools and Nikro negative-air systems. We price every job in writing before touching anything, and every visit is backed by our 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Clearwater’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, founded in 2004 as part of the Garrison Partners family, built its reputation on showing up when we said we would and leaving the price where we wrote it. In Clearwater, that means understanding how Gulf salt aerosol attacks vent hoods and foil transitions, how snowbird schedules create moisture-clogged runs, and how 55+ residents who are home all day notice dry-time problems before anyone else. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Clearwater crews don’t guess; they inspect with cameras, explain what they found, and fix only what needs fixing.
Phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No voicemail loops. No callback queues. When you schedule, we give you a window and arrive inside it.

Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Clearwater
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Clearwater covers multi-unit laundry rooms, property-management portfolios, and hospitality operations where dryers run near-continuously and lint accumulation is measured in pounds, not ounces. We work with building managers from Countryside to downtown Clearwater, scheduling around occupancy patterns to minimize disruption to residents and guests. Typical commercial dryer vent cleaning in Clearwater runs $280 – $550 per system depending on run length, access difficulty, and whether the vent terminates through roof or sidewall.
Multi-Unit Property Scheduling
Property managers in Clearwater’s 55+ communities and beachfront condos need crews who can work during designated maintenance windows without disturbing residents. We coordinate access with on-site staff, complete the work inside the agreed window, and provide before-and-after documentation for every unit. No per-vent pricing games. One flat price per system, agreed before we start.
Code Compliance Documentation
Clearwater Fire Department and most property insurers now require annual dryer vent inspection records for commercial laundry operations. Our reports include vent run length, termination type, airflow measurements, and photographic documentation of lint loading. If your property is due for renewal or inspection, we can schedule a full portfolio review.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Clearwater
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Clearwater is the residential core of what we do: removing lint accumulation from the full vent run, from the dryer’s transition duct to the exterior termination hood, restoring airflow and reducing fire risk. A typical single-family home in Clearwater, from North Greenwood to Island Estates, pays $150 – $280 for complete cleaning. Homes with longer runs, roof terminations, or bird-guard retrofits may run toward the higher end.
Camera Inspection and Airflow Testing
We don’t clean blind. Every residential job starts with a camera inspection of the vent run and a static-pressure reading. You see what we see. If the run is clear, we’ll tell you. If the foil transition is crushed behind the dryer or the hood flap is corroded shut, we’ll show you that too. Then we price the work in writing.
What We Find in Clearwater Homes
The combination of salt air and humidity here creates failures most inland cleaners miss. We’ve replaced Guardsman-style hoods on Clearwater Beach stilt homes where the flap had rusted solid after just three years. We’ve pulled transition ducts from downtown bungalows where moisture had packed lint into a dense mat during a snowbird’s summer absence. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team knows the local failure modes because we’ve documented them.
Trusted Brands We Service in Clearwater
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems for mechanical agitation, Nikro negative-air machines for contained debris removal, and filtration components from Aprilaire and Abatement Technologies. For Clearwater’s salt-air environment, we stock corrosion-resistant termination hoods and foil-to-rigid transition upgrades that outlast standard hardware-store parts. When a Guardsman-style hood or an Aprilaire vent component fails on your beach stilt home or downtown bungalow, we don’t need to order it. We carry the replacement, which means most jobs finish in a single visit without a return trip.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Clearwater Homes
- Salt-air hood corrosion on Island Estates and Clearwater Beach stilt homes. The exterior termination hood and its flap mechanism corrode shut faster here than anywhere inland, trapping humid exhaust air even when the run itself is lint-free. We inspect the hood as standard practice and replace it when needed.
- Moisture-clumped lint in snowbird properties. When a Clearwater home sits unoccupied through summer, humidity packs loose lint into a dense, mold-supporting mat. The first load of the season often produces a burning smell or trips the high-limit thermostat.
- Crushed foil transitions behind the dryer. In older Clearwater homes with tight utility closets, the thin foil transition duct gets kinked or crushed during normal dryer movement. This restricts airflow more than lint accumulation and is invisible without a camera inspection.
- Vent runs terminating in unvented crawlspaces or attics. A humid Florida crawlspace becomes a moisture sink for dryer exhaust, promoting mold growth on nearby framing and insulation. This configuration violates current code and needs rerouting, not just cleaning.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Clearwater, FL
Residential dryer vent cleaning in Clearwater runs $150 – $280 for a standard single-family system. Roof terminations, long horizontal runs under stilt homes, or bird-guard installations add $40 – $120. Commercial systems start at $280 and scale with the number of dryers and access difficulty.
What moves the price: run length and termination type (roof exits cost more than sidewall), whether the transition duct needs replacement, and if we’re installing a new hood or bird guard. We do not quote per-vent prices. We do not bait with a low teaser and add charges at the door. The price is written down before any work starts, and it does not move.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Clearwater
Homes in Clearwater Beach and Island Estates need dryer vent cleaning every 12 – 18 months, and every 12 months if the dryer runs daily. The salt aerosol and humidity accelerate hood corrosion and moisture clumping beyond what inland homes experience. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule – estimates are free.
Yes. Salt air corrodes aluminum foil and termination hoods faster than anywhere inland, and humidity above 70% year-round lets moisture pack lint into dense blockages. A cleaner who treats Clearwater vents like Tampa vents will miss hood corrosion and transition failure. We inspect for both as standard.
Two-cycle drying usually means restricted airflow from lint accumulation, a crushed transition duct, or a corroded-shut hood flap. After hurricane season or a snowbird’s summer absence, moisture and salt have had months to degrade the vent system. A camera inspection will show exactly where the restriction is.
Yes. We clean vertical duct chases in high-rises and multi-dryer commercial rooms throughout Clearwater Beach and downtown. Commercial pricing starts at $280 per system, and we schedule around building maintenance windows to minimize resident disruption.
Expect a uniformed, background-checked technician who arrives inside the quoted window, explains the camera findings in plain terms, and provides a written price before starting work. The job typically takes 60 – 90 minutes. We leave the site clean and provide before-and-after photos of your vent run. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers everything in writing.
