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 Lehigh Acres
Dryer vent cleaning in Lehigh Acres typically costs $150 – $275 for a standard single-family ranch home, and most jobs take 60 to 90 minutes from arrival to airflow test. If your dryer is taking two cycles to dry towels or the laundry room feels like a sauna mid-cycle, the vent is almost certainly restricted.
We’ve been dispatching crews to Lehigh Acres from our South Florida scheduling office for years. We know the area’s 1990s – 2000s stucco ranchers, the flex duct runs baking in attics off Lee Boulevard, and the sandy exhaust terminations that clog differently than inland homes with rigid pipe. When you call (361) 326-5060, a live person answers – no voicemail, no callback queue – and we book you into a real arrival window, not a four-hour guessing game.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team arrives uniformed, background-checked, and equipped with Rotobrush rotary systems and Nikro negative-air machines. The price is written down before we touch anything. That’s The Garrison Standard, and it’s how we work every house in Lehigh Acres, from Mirror Lakes to Sunshine to the ranch homes along Homestead Road.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Lehigh Acres’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve built our reputation in Lehigh Acres on showing up inside the window and leaving the site clean. Homeowners here are tired of no-shows and crews who track sand through the house. Our technicians follow The Garrison Code: arrive squared away, price in writing, complete the job by the book, and don’t leave until the homeowner sees the before-and-after.
Our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every dryer vent job in Lehigh Acres. If the repair fails or the airflow drops back below spec within a year, we return and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. That’s written on every invoice, not implied.
Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our Miami office, but our crews serve Lehigh Acres locally and carry common vent caps, elbows, and bird guards on the truck. Most Lehigh Acres appointments are available within a few business days, and we’ll call 30 minutes before arrival so you’re not waiting around.
Dryer Vent Repair in Lehigh Acres
Dryer Vent Repair in Lehigh Acres means fixing the crushed flex duct, disconnected elbows, and sand-blocked terminations that cleaning alone won’t solve. Most of the homes we service here were built between 1980 and 2010 with flex duct routed through hot attics and stucco-wall exhaust points low to the ground. After years of heat cycling and the occasional rodent, that flex gets pinched, separated, or packed solid with lint hardened by humidity. Repair runs $200 – $450 depending on how much duct we need to replace and whether the termination point needs rerouting.
Crushed or Disconnected Attic Runs
In Lehigh Acres ranchers, flex duct often gets compressed by storage boxes or work boots in the attic, or pulls apart at the tape joint. Lint spills into the attic insulation instead of exiting the house. The dryer runs hot, cycles forever, and eventually trips its thermal fuse. We pull the damaged section, replace it with proper rigid or semi-rigid duct where code allows, and seal joints with mastic rated for dryer exhaust temperatures.
Exhaust Termination and Clearance Issues
Stucco-wall terminations in Lehigh Acres sit close to sandy soil that shifts and settles. We’ve found vents buried under mulch, blocked by grass clippings, or fitted with cheap plastic flappers that stick shut from lint crust. We replace these with metal hoods or bird-guarded terminations that shed debris and keep critters out.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company in Lehigh Acres
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company service in Lehigh Acres means more than blowing air through a pipe. Because of how this area’s homes are built, we regularly find lint packed with sand and organic debris that a basic brush won’t dislodge. A standard cleaning for a Lehigh Acres single-story ranch runs $150 – $275; if we need to add camera inspection, agitation tools for hardened buildup, or bird guard installation, the total typically stays under $400. We write the price down before starting, and it doesn’t move at the door.
Camera Inspection and Airflow Verification
We run a borescope through the full vent run on every Lehigh Acres job, especially in older ranchers where previous owners may have DIY’d a repair with duct tape and hope. You see the blockage on screen. After cleaning, we measure airflow at the termination with an anemometer and show you the before-and-after numbers. No guesswork.
Lint Removal for Rental Turnover
Lehigh Acres has a high proportion of rental properties, and deferred maintenance is common. New homeowners often inherit a dryer vent that hasn’t been touched in years. We document the condition with photos, clean to NADCA standards, and note any repair needs in writing. If you’re a landlord or property manager, we can schedule between tenants and turn the reportaround fast.
Trusted Brands We Service in Lehigh Acres
Our trucks carry professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies, plus venting and filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman. For Lehigh Acres homeowners, this means we don’t need to order parts and make you wait. Common dryer vent caps, elbows, transition ducts, and bird guards are on the truck. If your vent run needs rerouting or your termination is damaged from storm debris, we fix it same visit instead of scheduling a return trip. The brands matter because they hold up in this climate – metal components resist the humidity and salt air that degrade cheaper hardware-store kits in two seasons.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Lehigh Acres Homes
- Sand-lint crust at stucco-wall terminations. Lehigh Acres’ sandy soil and low exhaust points create a unique clog: wet lint mixes with blown sand and lawn debris to form a hard crust that seals the flap shut. Surface cleaning won’t touch it; we need agitation tools and rotary brushes to break it loose.
- Crushed flex duct in hot attics. The 1980 – 2010 ranchers here run flex duct through attic spaces that hit 140°F in July. The duct sags, gets stepped on, or pulls apart at joints. Lint spills into insulation, and the dryer overheats. We replace with properly supported semi-rigid duct.
- Disconnected runs from rental neglect. Deferred maintenance in rental properties means years of packed lint. By the time a new owner moves in, the vent path is choked to a fraction of its design airflow. A shop vac from the outside won’t clear it; we need negative-air extraction and mechanical agitation.
- Storm debris blocking vents after rainy season. June through September thunderstorms in Lehigh Acres blow leaves, grass, and mulch against low wall terminations. Combined with lint, this creates backflow that pushes moist air into the laundry room and grows mold on adjacent drywall.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lehigh Acres, FL
Here’s what dryer vent work costs in Lehigh Acres, based on the homes we actually service:
| Service | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Standard dryer vent cleaning (single-story ranch) | $150 – $275 |
| Cleaning with camera inspection | $225 – $325 |
| Dryer vent repair (crushed/disconnected duct) | $200 – $450 |
| Vent rerouting or cap replacement | $175 – $350 |
| Bird guard installation | $85 – $150 |
What moves the price: length of vent run, accessibility (crawl space vs. attic), whether we need to replace damaged duct, and how packed the lint is. A 2002 ranch in Mirror Lakes with a straight 15-foot run and a crusted cap is a 90-minute job. A 1985 home off Homestead Road with a crushed 35-foot attic run, two bad elbows, and a buried termination takes longer and costs more. We inspect first, write the price down, and you approve it before we start. Estimates are free. Call (361) 326-5060 to book.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lehigh Acres
Restricted airflow from lint buildup is the cause in 90% of Lehigh Acres homes we visit. The combination of long flex duct runs in hot attics and low stucco-wall terminations that collect sand and debris creates clogs that worsen gradually until the dryer can’t push moist air out fast enough. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll measure your airflow and show you the blockage on camera.
Every 12 to 18 months for a typical Lehigh Acres household doing 4 – 6 loads weekly. Homes with pets, large families, or dryers on interior walls with long runs should schedule annually. The humid climate here means lint packs denser and faster than in drier regions. We can put you on a reminder schedule so you don’t have to think about it.
Yes. We replace damaged flex duct with properly supported semi-rigid or rigid duct where accessible, seal joints with high-temperature mastic, and verify airflow at the termination. Attic work in Lehigh Acres requires care – summer attic temps exceed 130°F – so we schedule these repairs in morning windows when possible. The repair is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Yes. We provide dated photos, airflow readings, and a written condition report for every Lehigh Acres rental property we service. Landlords use this for move-in/move-out documentation and to prove maintenance was performed to code. We can bill the property owner directly or accept payment from the tenant – whatever works for your situation.
Not directly, but the same conditions that clog your dryer vent – humidity, dust, and neglected maintenance – usually mean your AC ducts need attention too. In Lehigh Acres, we often book both services together. The dryer vent is a fire and efficiency issue; the AC ducts affect air quality and cooling costs. Ask about combined pricing when you call (361) 326-5060.
