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.
Fast, Reliable Dryer Vent Cleaning Across Pelican Bay
Dryer vent cleaning in Pelican Bay typically runs $149 – $289 for a standard single-family villa or coach home, and most jobs take 60 to 90 minutes from arrival to cleanup. We’re the Dryer Vent Cleaning crew that knows the difference between a Seagate Drive villa built in 1982 and a newer coach home off Pelican Bay Boulevard, because we’ve worked inside both. Dispatch and scheduling for your appointment are coordinated from our Miami office, but the technician who shows up at your door serves Pelican Bay homes regularly and carries the right fittings for the original 4-inch rigid ducting common in these 1980s builds.
Pelican Bay’s deed-restricted, master-planned layout means we’re used to checking in with security at the North Gate, coordinating with property managers at the Pelican Bay Club, and scheduling around the architectural review timelines that many HOAs require for any work involving exterior vent caps or attic access. We don’t treat your home like a generic Southwest Florida address. We treat it like the specific building it is, with its own vent run length, its own HOA documentation requirements, and its own history of maintenance or neglect.

Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Pelican Bay’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve been in business since 2004 as part of the Garrison Partners family, and our Pelican Bay customers keep calling back because we show up inside the window, price the job in writing, and leave the site clean. That’s The Garrison Standard, and it’s not a slogan. It’s how Roy Castellanos expects every technician to operate on every job.
Our crews know Pelican Bay’s housing stock intimately. The attached villas and coach homes built between the mid-1970s and 1990s often have dryer vent runs that traverse 15 to 25 feet of interior wall or soffit before reaching an exterior cap, sometimes with multiple elbows that trap lint in ways a straight 6-foot run never would. We’ve cleaned vents in the original Seagate Village units, in the Bay Club high-rises, and in the coach home clusters off Vanderbilt Drive. Each layout presents its own access puzzle.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. You know who’s walking into your home before they arrive. And our phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No voicemail loops, no callback queues, no waiting until Monday to schedule your Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pelican Bay.
Every job is backed by our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work fails within a year, we come back and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. That’s written on every invoice, not implied.
Dryer Vent Installation in Pelican Bay
Dryer Vent Installation in Pelican Bay becomes necessary when an existing vent run is too damaged, too poorly routed, or too non-compliant with current Florida Building Code to clean safely. In Pelican Bay’s older villas, we regularly find original vent runs made of vinyl or flexible foil tubing that has sagged in the attic chase, creating low points where condensation pools and lint cakes into a fire hazard. A proper installation replaces this with smooth-wall rigid aluminum ducting, correctly supported and routed to the shortest practical path to the exterior.
A typical Dryer Vent Installation in Pelican Bay runs $350 – $650 for a standard reroute through an attic or soffit, and $550 – $950 if we need to core through stucco or concrete block to create a new termination point. Complex jobs involving multiple floors or extensive drywall repair fall outside these ranges and receive a written, itemized quote before work begins.
When Rerouting Makes Sense
Many Pelican Bay homes were built with dryer vents terminating through the roof or into the garage, both of which violate current code and create real problems. Roof terminations force lint upward against gravity, accelerating buildup, while garage terminations pump humid, lint-laden air into a space where it doesn’t belong. We reroute these runs to exterior wall terminations with proper backdraft dampers, using the same professional-grade fittings we’d specify for a commercial installation.
HOA Coordination for Exterior Work
Because Pelican Bay’s architectural review boards often require advance notice for any exterior modification, we handle the documentation. Our technician photographs the existing condition, notes the proposed routing, and provides a licensed contractor’s scope of work that satisfies most HOA managers. We’ve done this enough times to know what Pelican Bay’s various village associations expect to see.
Dryer Vent Repair in Pelican Bay
Dryer Vent Repair in Pelican Bay addresses the specific failures that Gulf Coast humidity and decades of use inflict on these systems. We see disconnected joints in attic chases where the original tape has dried and failed, crushed flex duct where a homeowner or handyman stepped in the tight clearance above a Seagate Drive villa’s hallway, and corroded vent caps where salt-laden air has eaten through the original galvanized steel. A typical repair in Pelican Bay runs $180 – $340 for joint resealing and partial duct replacement, and $280 – $480 if we need to replace a damaged vent cap or repair a section of soffit routing.
Disconnected Ducts in Tight Mechanical Closets
Pelican Bay’s attic air handlers and dryer vent junctions are often tucked into unvented mechanical closets with barely enough clearance to slide a technician through. Heat and humidity in these spaces cause flex duct to sag and pull free from the plenum or transition fitting. We find this failure regularly, and we document it with photos because HOA rules often require a licensed contractor’s assessment before repairs can proceed. Our Nikro negative-air equipment lets us test the entire run for leakage once repairs are complete.
Corroded Vent Caps and Backdraft Dampers
The original vent caps on many Pelican Bay homes were never designed for decades of salt air exposure. We replace these with corrosion-resistant aluminum or stainless steel caps that include proper backdraft dampers and bird screening. A failed damper lets hot, humid air back into the duct when the dryer isn’t running, which accelerates lint accumulation and creates the musty odors we hear about from homeowners near the Pelican Bay Club.
Trusted Brands We Service in Pelican Bay
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems for mechanical agitation of stubborn lint deposits, Nikro negative-air machines that capture debris at the source rather than blowing it into your home, and filtration and venting products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies. We don’t use hardware-store shop vacs or brush kits sold to homeowners. For Pelican Bay’s longer vent runs and original ducting, we need tools that generate real airflow and real mechanical action. We stock the common vent cap sizes and transition fittings used in Pelican Bay’s 1980s and 1990s construction, so most repairs don’t require a parts order that delays completion.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Pelican Bay Homes
- Excessive lint buildup in long horizontal runs. Many Pelican Bay villas have dryer vents that run 20-plus feet through interior walls with two or three elbows, and the original 4-inch ducting was never designed for this resistance. Lint accumulates at each elbow until airflow drops and the dryer overheats.
- Condensation and mold in low-sagging flex duct. Southwest Florida’s humidity condenses inside cool duct runs, especially where sagging creates low points. We’ve pulled handfuls of wet, moldy lint from original flex duct in Seagate Village units that haven’t been opened in twenty years.
- Bird and insect nesting in unscreened caps. The original vent caps on many Pelican Bay homes lack proper screening. We’ve found sparrow nests, wasp colonies, and even a gecko hatchery blocking termination points, all of which restrict airflow and create fire hazards.
- Disconnected joints hidden in inaccessible soffits. The stucco exteriors and concrete tile roofs that define Pelican Bay’s Mediterranean aesthetic also make it hard to spot a vent cap that’s blowing lint into the soffit space rather than outside. We test airflow at the termination on every job, not just at the dryer connection.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pelican Bay, FL
We give honest whole-system pricing, not per-vent teaser rates that balloon once the van is in your driveway. A standard dryer vent cleaning in Pelican Bay runs $149 – $289. This covers a single dryer vent run from the appliance connection to the exterior termination, including mechanical brushing, negative-air debris removal, airflow testing, and a written condition report.
Factors that move the price within this range include vent run length (longer runs take more time and more aggressive brushing), accessibility (crawl space or tight attic work adds labor), and the severity of buildup (a vent that hasn’t been cleaned in ten years requires more passes than one maintained annually). If we find damage requiring repair or a vent run that needs complete replacement, we stop, explain the condition, and give you a written price for that work before proceeding. No surprises. We also handle Duct Sealing in Pelican Bay and Air Duct Cleaning in Pelican Bay if your home needs more than just the dryer vent addressed.
Call (361) 326-5060 for an exact quote. Estimates are free, and we carry the equipment to complete most standard cleanings on the spot if you choose to proceed.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pelican Bay
We typically schedule Pelican Bay appointments within 3 to 5 business days of your call, and we arrive inside the quoted window. Because many Pelican Bay properties require HOA notification for exterior or attic work, we build that coordination time into our scheduling so your appointment isn’t delayed by paperwork after we arrive.
Yes. We clean dryer vents throughout Pelican Bay, including Seagate Village, the Bay Club area, the coach home clusters off Vanderbilt Drive, and the mid-rise condominiums near Pelican Bay Boulevard. Each neighborhood has its own access considerations, and our technicians know the gate codes, parking protocols, and HOA contact procedures for the major associations.
We treat blocked or smoking dryer vents as priority calls and will rearrange our schedule to address genuine safety hazards the same day or next day. For routine maintenance, we stick to our standard booking window so we don’t overpromise and underdeliver. Call (361) 326-5060 to describe your situation and we’ll tell you honestly whether it needs immediate attention.
Our pricing is consistent across Collier County, but Pelican Bay’s longer vent runs and HOA coordination requirements can push some jobs toward the higher end of our $149 – $289 range. A straightforward cleaning in a newer Naples tract home with a short exterior wall termination may fall at the lower end, while a 25-foot soffit run in a Seagate Drive villa with architectural review requirements takes more time and documentation.
Every Hollis job in Pelican Bay is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise.

This includes a free second visit, and it’s backed in writing on your invoice, not implied. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule your free estimate.
