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.

We’ve worked on enough homes in Fort Myers Shores to know the local patterns. The 1960s-era ranches on River Road still have their original vent runs through crawl spaces that sag with humidity. Mobile home communities off Palm Beach Boulevard deal with shorter vent lines that clog faster because of Florida’s dense, moisture-heavy air. And after Hurricane Ian, we saw a wave of calls from homeowners who’d never thought about their dryer vents until they noticed their clothes taking three cycles to dry in the months following the flood. That’s the reality of Fort Myers Shores: the river, the humidity, and the storms create a unique wear pattern on every mechanical system in the house. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team treats those conditions as standard operating procedure, not surprises.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Fort Myers Shores’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve been part of the Garrison Partners family since 2004, and that track record matters in a market where fly-by-night operators leave voicemails unanswered and prices that balloon once the van is in the driveway. Our Fort Myers Shores customers get the same standard: a written price before we touch anything, background-checked uniformed technicians, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing on every job. If the work fails within a year, we come back at no charge, including a free second visit.
Our phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No callback queues, no “leave a message and we’ll get back to you Monday.” When you’re smelling burning lint or your dryer keeps shutting off on thermal overload, that matters.
We also handle Duct Sealing in Fort Myers Shores and Air Duct Cleaning in Fort Myers Shores, which means our technicians can spot when a dryer vent problem is actually a symptom of a larger ductwork issue, like negative pressure pulling humid Gulf air back into the system.
Dryer Vent Inspection in Fort Myers Shores
Dryer Vent Inspection in Fort Myers Shores starts with a visual assessment of the exterior vent cap, followed by airflow measurement and a camera inspection of the full vent run when accessible. Most Fort Myers Shores homeowners need this when they notice longer dry times, a hot laundry room, or that distinctive burnt-lint smell that hangs in the humid air of a Florida garage. A standard inspection here runs $75 – $125, and we apply that toward the cleaning if you move forward with the work.
What We Check in Older Homes
The ranch-style homes built between the 1960s and 1980s in Fort Myers Shores often have galvanized steel vent pipes that corrode from the inside out, or early flex duct that’s been chewed by rodents seeking shelter from river flooding. We check for sagging sections where lint collects in low spots, and we measure static pressure to confirm the dryer isn’t working harder than it should.
Post-Storm Inspection Protocol
After any significant weather event, we inspect for water intrusion into the vent line. The Caloosahatchee floodplain means even homes that didn’t take direct flooding can have vent caps driven inward by wind-driven rain, creating a blockage that traps moisture and accelerates lint compaction.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Fort Myers Shores
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Fort Myers Shores covers multi-unit laundry facilities, property management portfolios, and small commercial operations from mobile home parks to marina service buildings. The same humidity that affects residential systems hits commercial dryers harder because they run more cycles, generating more lint and more heat. A typical commercial job in Fort Myers Shores ranges from $200 – $500 per unit for standard apartment laundry rooms, with larger facilities quoted site-unseen after inspection. We schedule these during off-hours to avoid tenant disruption.
Property Manager Programs
We maintain annual service agreements with several Fort Myers Shores property managers, scheduling inspections every six months for high-turnover units. This prevents the fire code violations that can spike insurance premiums and gives written documentation for liability records.
Code Compliance Documentation
Commercial dryers in Lee County fall under NFPA 211 and local fire prevention codes. We provide written reports with before-and-after airflow readings, photos of the cleaned vent interior, and certification of compliance for your files.
Trusted Brands We Service in Fort Myers Shores
Our equipment comes from Nikro, Honeywell, and Abatement Technologies, the same brands commercial crews use in hospitals and schools. We stock replacement vent caps, bird guards, and transition hoses compatible with major dryer manufacturers, which means most Fort Myers Shores jobs finish in one visit without waiting on parts. Our rotary brush systems from Rotobrush break up compacted lint without damaging the fragile flex duct common in older Fort Myers Shores homes, and our Nikro negative-air machines capture the debris rather than blowing it into your laundry room. When we install bird guards or replace vent caps, we use hardware rated for coastal humidity, not the galvanized steel that rusts shut in two seasons.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Fort Myers Shores Homes
- Lint packed with moisture from Gulf humidity. Fort Myers Shores’s humid subtropical climate means lint doesn’t stay dry and fluffy; it mats into dense, damp clogs that restrict airflow more severely than the dry lint found in arid climates. We see 40 – 60% airflow reduction in vents that would read as “moderate” buildup elsewhere.
- Sagging flex duct in crawl spaces. The original 1970s ranch homes along River Road and in the Palm Beach Boulevard corridor often have flex duct routed through crawl spaces that flood seasonally. The duct sags, creating low points where lint and water collect together.
- Bird and insect intrusion through damaged caps. The riverfront environment attracts nesting birds and insects seeking shelter from storms. We regularly remove nests from vent caps that blew off during tropical weather and were never properly resecured.
- Extended vent runs in homes on stilts. Newer construction elevated for flood protection often routes dryer vents through longer horizontal runs with multiple elbows. Each bend reduces airflow and creates another lint collection point that needs professional-grade equipment to clear completely.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Fort Myers Shores, FL
Most standard dryer vent cleanings in Fort Myers Shores fall between $120 and $280. A simple single-story ranch with a short, straight vent run through an exterior wall sits at the lower end. Homes with longer runs, multiple elbows, or elevated construction on stilts requiring ladder work trend toward the higher range. Vent rerouting, which we sometimes recommend when the original installation creates an unsafe or inefficient path, typically runs $300 – $600 depending on materials and access. Bird guard installation adds $45 – $85 per vent. Every price is written down before we start, and it does not move at the door. We don’t quote per-vent teaser rates that balloon with “unexpected” findings. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate, and we’ll give you the full number before we schedule.
