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 Palm Beach
Dryer vent cleaning in Palm Beach typically runs $180 – $340 for a standard single-family home, and most jobs are completed in under two hours with the dryer back in service the same day. If your loads are taking two or three cycles to dry, or you’re noticing a burnt-lint smell near the laundry room, the vent is almost certainly clogged. That’s not an inconvenience. It’s a fire hazard, and in Palm Beach’s humid subtropical climate, that trapped moisture makes the blockage worse.
We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Garrison Partners family, and our crews serve Palm Beach from our Miami (South FL) dispatch office. We know the island’s housing stock: the 1920s Mediterranean Revival estates with crawl-space duct runs, the mid-century homes on Jungle Road, and the newer condos along South Ocean Boulevard where vent chases were designed tight and dry slowly to begin with. Roy Castellanos and our team have cleared vents from El Cid to the Estate Section, and we price every job in writing before touching a tool. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Palm Beach’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve been in business since 2004, and our reputation in Palm Beach is built on showing up inside the quoted window and leaving the site clean. Homeowners here don’t have patience for no-shows or crews who track salt sand through a marble foyer. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and held to The Garrison Code: arrive squared away, explain the work, price it in writing, finish by the book.
Response time to Palm Beach is same-day or next-day for standard scheduling. Our dispatch team answers live, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No voicemail loops, no “we’ll call you back Monday.”
Local knowledge matters on this island. We know that homes east of Ocean Boulevard pull salt-laden air through every opening, including dryer vents, and that seasonal residents often return to find nests or corrosion in a vent that sat idle for months. We also know which condo associations on South Ocean require pre-approved vendor lists, and we’re happy to provide certificates of insurance and documentation for building management. That familiarity saves our Palm Beach customers time and hassle.
Every job carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If the work fails within a year, we return and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit.
Dryer Vent Repair in Palm Beach
Dryer Vent Repair in Palm Beach addresses the physical damage that airflow problems leave behind: crushed transition hoses behind the dryer, sagging flex duct in attic runs, corroded vent caps degraded by salt air, and improperly sloped lines that trap lint in low spots. In Palm Beach’s subtropical marine climate, metal components fatigue faster than inland, and we’ve replaced vent caps on ocean-facing homes that were structurally intact but perforated by salt corrosion after just a few seasons.
A typical dryer vent repair in Palm Beach runs $150 – $280 for cap replacement or reconnection, and $280 – $450 for rerouting or replacing a significant section of rigid duct. Complex jobs in older homes with plaster walls and limited access points can reach $500 – $700. We always inspect first and provide a written price before any work begins.
Corroded Vent Caps and Salt Damage
The ocean side of Palm Beach pulls aerosolized salt through vent openings year-round. We regularly find caps with seized flappers or perforated screening that lets in rain and pests. Our replacements use marine-grade materials rated for coastal exposure, not the hardware-store caps that fail in eighteen months.
Rerouting for Older Homes
Many Mediterranean Revival and mid-century estates were built with vent runs that are too long, too many elbows, or terminated in crawl spaces that no longer meet code. We reroute to the shortest practical path with proper slope, using rigid metal duct where accessible. This is skilled work in homes with original plaster; our technicians are trained to minimize intrusion and restore finishes.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company in Palm Beach
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company in Palm Beach means more than blowing air through a tube. At Hollis, we use a rotary brush system from Rotobrush combined with negative-air extraction from Nikro to physically dislodge packed lint and pull it out of the line, not push it deeper. The process includes inspection of the full run with a borescope camera, cleaning of the transition hose and exterior termination, and airflow verification before we sign off.
A standard residential dryer vent cleaning in Palm Beach costs $180 – $280. Homes with second-story laundry rooms, rooftop terminations, or significant buildup requiring extra passes run $280 – $340. Condo units with shared chases may need coordination with building management; we’re familiar with the protocols at properties along South Ocean Boulevard and throughout the island.
What the Cleaning Actually Removes
Lint is only part of it. In Palm Beach, we also extract the fine white salt film that coats duct interiors near the ocean, along with mold and mildew that thrive in humid, stagnant vent lines. The rotary brush scrubs the duct wall; the negative-air machine pulls debris into a sealed HEPA-filtered collector. You see what came out. We show before-and-after photos of your own vent.
Bird Guard and Pest Prevention
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team regularly finds bird nests and rodent debris in Palm Beach vents, especially on homes with damaged or missing caps. We install bird guards with proper mesh sizing that blocks pests without restricting airflow, a common mistake with aftermarket products.
Trusted Brands We Service in Palm Beach
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems, Nikro negative-air machines, and filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, Abatement Technologies, and Guardsman. These are the same tools commercial crews use in hospitals and schools, not consumer-grade shop vacs with a brush attachment. For Palm Beach customers, this means we stock replacement caps, transition hoses, and fittings sized for the brands we encounter most often, including older ductwork in historic homes that doesn’t match modern big-box dimensions. Turnaround on standard repairs is typically same-day or next-day once we identify the part.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Palm Beach Homes
- Salt corrosion in ocean-facing vents. Homes on the east side of the island, particularly along Ocean Boulevard and in the Estate Section, show accelerated metal fatigue in vent caps and duct joints. The fine white salt film inside return grilles is a warning sign that the same corrosion is happening in the dryer vent.
- Seasonal buildup in dormant vacation homes. Palm Beach’s luxury seasonal market means many properties sit unoccupied for months. Humidity continues, lint settles and compacts, and returning owners often fire up the dryer without realizing the vent is partially blocked from disuse.
- Long, convoluted runs in historic estates. The 1920s Mediterranean Revival homes in El Cid and the mid-century properties on Jungle Road were built with laundry facilities far from exterior walls. Multiple elbows and extended horizontal runs create lint traps that standard cleaning can’t reach without rotary mechanical agitation.
- Condo chase restrictions on South Ocean Boulevard. Newer high-rise units share vertical chases with limited access. Individual unit cleaning is ineffective if the main chase is packed; we coordinate with building engineers for comprehensive service when needed.
