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 Keller
Dryer vent cleaning in Keller typically runs $150 – $350 for a standard residential system, with most jobs completed in under two hours. If your dryer needs two cycles to finish a load or the laundry room feels unusually humid, the vent run is likely clogged with lint you can’t reach from the lint trap alone. Call Hollis Air Duct Cleaning at (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate, or read on to understand what’s hiding in your vent and what it costs to clear it properly.
We serve Keller from our Dallas-Fort Worth dispatch office, with crews running daily routes through neighborhoods from Keller Heights to Marshall Ridge. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team knows the local housing stock: the late-1980s to 2000s subdivisions with long flex-duct runs buried in unconditioned attics, the newer gated communities with longer vent paths to exterior walls, and the specific failure patterns that develop in each. That local knowledge means we diagnose faster and fix it right the first time.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Keller’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Keller homeowners have been burned by bait-and-switch pricing before. A low coupon price that doubles once the van is in the driveway. Technicians who won’t quote in writing. We do the opposite. Every Hollis job starts with a written price before any work begins, and that number does not move at the door. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every repair in writing: 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, operating under The Garrison Standard that Roy Castellanos established for this market. They arrive inside the quoted window, explain what they find in plain terms, and leave the site clean. Phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No voicemail loops. No callback queues.
We bring professional-grade equipment to every Keller job: Rotobrush rotary brush systems for mechanical agitation, Nikro negative-air machines to pull debris out under controlled suction, and inspection cameras that let you see the blockage for yourself. This isn’t hardware-store gear. It’s the same equipment commercial crews use, and we explain what each tool does before we start.
Dryer Vent Inspection in Keller
Dryer Vent Inspection in Keller starts with a camera run through the full concealed vent path, from the dryer connection to the exterior cap, because the visible lint trap is only catching a fraction of what’s accumulating. In Keller’s late-1980s to 2000s subdivisions, many homes still vent the dryer through a long, undersized flexible run buried in the unconditioned attic, so by the time the visible lint trap stops catching anything, a hidden lint pathway has built up along the entire concealed run. A proper inspection identifies crushed sections, disconnected joints, improper slopes that trap moisture, and bird or rodent nesting at the exterior cap. A residential inspection in Keller typically costs $89 – $149, applied toward the cleaning if you proceed.
When to Schedule an Inspection
Schedule a Dryer Vent Inspection if your dryer takes longer than 45 minutes to dry a standard load, if you notice a burning smell during operation, or if it’s been more than two years since the last professional cleaning. In Keller’s humid subtropical climate, wet lint can adhere to duct walls and harden, so even homeowners who clean the trap religiously develop hidden blockages. We also recommend an inspection before listing a home for sale in Keller, since buyers’ inspectors increasingly flag vent conditions.
What the Camera Reveals
Our inspection cameras send live video to a tablet you can watch in real time. We document crushed flex, lint density, moisture staining that indicates condensation problems, and gaps where the duct has pulled away from the collar. You see what we see. No guesswork, no upsell based on claims you can’t verify.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Keller
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Keller serves multi-unit housing, assisted living facilities, laundromats, and hospitality properties where dryers run continuously and lint accumulation accelerates proportionally. These systems often share common vent shafts through multiple stories, creating fire risks that standard residential cleaning cannot address. We clean to NFPA 211 standards, document the work with before-and-after photos, and provide written certification for your insurance carrier or fire marshal. Commercial dryer vent cleaning in Keller typically runs $300 – $800 depending on the number of units, shaft height, and access complexity.
Multi-Family and HOA Properties
Keller’s apartment complexes and condominium communities along Davis Boulevard and near Keller Town Center require scheduled maintenance that protects both residents and property values. We coordinate with property managers to minimize disruption, work within your maintenance windows, and provide uniform documentation for each unit serviced. Our crew is background-checked and uniformed, presentable in tenant-facing environments.
Restaurant and Hospitality Laundry Operations
Commercial kitchens and hotel laundry rooms in Keller generate lint loads far exceeding residential use, often with grease particles that compound the fire hazard. We use Nikro negative-air systems to contain debris during cleaning, protecting food prep and guest areas from contamination. The work is scheduled during off-hours when possible, with written pricing confirmed before arrival.
Trusted Brands We Service in Keller
We maintain local parts inventory for Aprilaire filtration components, Abatement Technologies HEPA equipment, and Guardsman protective products used during our cleaning process. For Keller homeowners, that means faster turnaround when a vent cap needs replacement or a bird guard requires sizing to match your exterior finish. We don’t order parts from a warehouse three states away and make you wait. Our trucks carry the common fittings, rigid pipe sections, and termination hardware needed for same-day repairs in Keller’s market.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Keller Homes
- Crushed flex runs in unconditioned attics. Dryer vent runs abandoned in the unconditioned attic develop kinks and torn flex that let lint drop into the pathway instead of exhausting it, feeding a hidden fire risk in these 1980s – 2000s homes. We replace crushed sections with rigid metal pipe that maintains its shape.
- Humidity-driven lint hardening. In Keller’s tight post-1990 subdivisions, humid summer air pulled through a wet lint pathway can clog the run just enough to back moisture into the laundry room before anyone connects the symptom to the vent. The fix is thorough mechanical agitation followed by negative-air extraction, not just blowing compressed air through the line.
- Oversized or crushed ducts sharing space with upgraded AC. Upgraded high-efficiency AC systems in older Keller homes still share attic space with oversized or crushed dryer ducts, so a cleaning that only clears the register end misses the crushed run behind the air handler. Our camera inspection finds the real blockage.
- Lint trap complacency. Homeowners assume the lint trap is the whole story, but the fraction they can reach is a small part of what builds up across the full concealed run and often gets overlooked until the dryer overheats. We show you the camera footage so you understand the full scope.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Keller, TX
A standard residential dryer vent cleaning in Keller runs $150 – $250 for a single-story home with straightforward roof or wall termination. Two-story homes with long attic runs, typically $200 – $350. Vent rerouting to eliminate a dangerous or inefficient path: $400 – $700. Bird guard installation: $85 – $150. Vent cap replacement: $75 – $125. These are whole-system prices, not per-vent teaser rates that balloon at the door.
What moves the price: length of the concealed run, accessibility (crawl space vs. walkable attic), condition of existing materials (rigid pipe vs. damaged flex needing replacement), and whether we find nesting or moisture damage requiring additional work. We quote in writing before starting. The price does not change after we begin.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Keller
The lint trap catches roughly 25 – 30% of lint generated; the rest travels into the concealed vent run and accumulates where you can’t see it. In Keller’s older subdivisions with long attic flex runs, that hidden accumulation often forms a complete blockage before the dryer shows obvious symptoms. A professional cleaning with camera verification clears the full path and restores normal drying time. Call (361) 326-5060 for an exact quote.
Yes, but not for the reason most homeowners assume. The extreme DFW summer heat means HVAC systems run near-continuously from May through September, and in Keller’s dense post-1990 suburban subdivisions, tight construction traps heat in attics where many dryer vents run. A partially blocked vent in a 140°F attic is a significantly higher fire risk than the same blockage in a cooler climate. Annual inspection is prudent here.
On a 1990s two-story in the Keller Heights area off Rufe Snow Drive, our tech ran a camera inspection down the dryer vent and found the flexible run crushed flat where the attic trusses pinched it, with lint packed solid at the first elbow. We used agitation tools and negative pressure to pull the debris out, replaced the crushed section with rigid pipe, and restored the blower motor’s airflow so the dryer finished a load in one cycle instead of two. That’s representative of what we find: crushed flex, improper slopes, and lint packed into elbows where the run changes direction.
Cleaning helps, but the real fix often involves replacing the long flex run with rigid metal duct and ensuring proper slope to the exterior. We evaluate each Keller attic run individually. If the path is longer than 25 feet or has multiple direction changes, we may recommend rerouting to a closer wall termination. The camera inspection shows you exactly why we make each recommendation, with written pricing for each option.
Absolutely. In many Keller neighborhoods, homes originally built with 10 SEER AC systems have been upgraded to higher-efficiency units, but the original ductwork often remains undersized or leaky. The new system moves air more aggressively, which can increase dust infiltration throughout the home, including the laundry room. Meanwhile, the old dryer vent continues accumulating lint on its own schedule, independent of the AC upgrade. Both systems need attention to work properly together.
