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 Pinehurst
Last March, a crew from our Dryer Vent Cleaning team pulled up to a ranch on a dead-end off Pinehurst Avenue where the homeowner’s dryer had been taking three cycles to finish a load of towels. The galvanized vent run, original to the 1962 house, was packed with a dense, reddish lint the color of iron-rich well water. That’s the thing about Pinehurst: the same private-well chemistry that stains toilet bowls also tints dryer lint, and it cakes inside narrow metal trunk lines in ways flex duct doesn’t. Dryer vent cleaning in Pinehurst typically runs $149 – $289 for a standard residential job, with bird guard installation or vent rerouting adding $75 – $195. Most appointments are scheduled within a week, and estimates are always free. Call (361) 326-5060 to book.
We dispatch and schedule from our Dallas-Fort Worth office, but our crews live and work this corridor. They know the short duct runs common in 1950s Capes, the crawlspace trunk lines wrapped in failing tape, and the way Pinehurst’s heavy nor’easter seasons trap humidified air inside homes from October through April. That trapped moisture doesn’t just make basements musty; it compresses lint into dense, stubborn layers that restrict airflow and force dryers to run hotter and longer.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Pinehurst’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Pinehurst homeowners don’t call us because we’re the cheapest outfit in Montgomery County. They call because their neighbor on Woodshore Drive already did, and because word travels fast on streets where people stay for decades.
Our reputation here is built on showing up inside the window, pricing in writing before we touch anything, and leaving the laundry room cleaner than we found it. The Garrison Standard applies to every job: arrive squared away, quote honestly, work by the book. Roy Castellanos, who leads Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, put that standard in place back in 2004, and it hasn’t moved since.
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 when your dryer is already backing up moisture into the house. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed; you know who’s walking in before they knock.
We also know the local housing stock. The mid-century ranches near the old Pinehurst School, the split-levels on wooded half-acre lots, the Colonials from the 1990s build-out: each has its own vent configuration, its own access challenges, its own history of maintenance or neglect. That matters when you’re routing a rotary brush through a 6-inch galvanized line that hasn’t been opened in forty years.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pinehurst
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pinehurst covers multi-unit properties, homeowner associations with shared laundry facilities, and small commercial operations like bed-and-breakfasts or grooming salons that run dryers continuously. The same iron-tinted lint that clogs residential vents accumulates faster in commercial settings, and the fire risk scales with the volume of laundry processed. A typical commercial dryer vent cleaning in Pinehurst runs $289 – $495 per unit, with multi-unit packages available.
Multi-Unit Laundry Facilities
Shared laundry rooms in Pinehurst’s older condo conversions and townhome clusters often have vent runs that were never designed for modern high-capacity dryers. We inspect the full length, identify disconnections behind finished walls, and clean with Nikro negative-air equipment that captures lint at the source rather than blowing it into common hallways.
Commercial Kitchen and Hospitality Venting
Restaurants and inns near Pinehurst’s commercial corridors need vent systems that handle not just lint but grease-laden air from kitchen linens. We separate the two streams, clean each to code, and document the work for insurance and fire marshal review.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Pinehurst
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Pinehurst is what most homeowners need: a thorough removal of lint buildup from the dryer transition duct through the exterior vent cap, plus inspection for damage, improper routing, or pest intrusion. A standard residential cleaning runs $149 – $289; vent cap replacement adds $45 – $85, and bird guard installation runs $75 – $125. We also handle Duct Sealing in Pinehurst and Air Duct Cleaning in Pinehurst for homeowners who want the full system addressed in one visit.
Lint Removal and Airflow Testing
We don’t just vacuum visible lint. Our crews use Rotobrush rotary brush systems to scrub the full interior surface of metal ductwork, then test airflow before and after with a calibrated anemometer. You’ll see the numbers. If airflow doesn’t improve, we keep working until it does.
Vent Rerouting and Code Corrections
Some Pinehurst homes, especially the 1970s splits with basement laundry rooms, have vents that run too long, make too many turns, or terminate in crawlspaces instead of outdoors. We reroute to current standards, using solid metal pipe and proper slope, and we price the reroute in writing before cutting anything.
Trusted Brands We Service in Pinehurst
Our equipment comes from Nikro, Honeywell, and Aprilaire: the same names commercial crews specify, not hardware-store alternatives. We stock vent caps, bird guards, and transition ducts sized for Pinehurst’s common 6-inch galvanized runs, so most repairs don’t require a second trip. If your dryer is a Whirlpool, LG, Samsung, Maytag, or GE, we’ve serviced it before. If your vent termination is damaged by ice buildup from last winter’s nor’easter, we have the replacement in the van. Fast turnaround matters when your laundry is piling up and the alternative is a laundromat in Tomball.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Pinehurst Homes
- Compressed lint from humid winters. Pinehurst’s windows stay shut from October to April, and the humidified air from whole-house or room humidifiers adds moisture to dryer exhaust. That moisture binds lint into dense, stubborn layers that standard vacuum attachments won’t remove.
- Original galvanized runs with internal rust scale. The 1950s – 1970s ranches and Capes weren’t built with smooth-wall duct. Decades of rust flake off and mix with lint, creating abrasive clogs that damage flexible transition ducts from the inside out.
- Undersized returns and crushed runs above finished basements. The dead-end streets off Pinehurst Avenue and the older sections near the old Pinehurst School frequently have return ductwork that was never sized for modern dryers. We find flattened or disconnected sections hidden above drop ceilings that previous owners installed.
- Missing or damaged bird guards. Pinehurst’s wooded lots attract nesting birds and squirrels, especially in spring. An open vent cap is an invitation, and a nest can block airflow completely or ignite from dryer heat.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pinehurst, TX

| Vent rerouting (per run) | $125 – $195 |

Pinehurst pricing is comparable to Magnolia and Spring, though older homes with original galvanized ductwork sometimes require more time and specialized rotary brush work than newer construction in Conroe or Tomball. We quote each job individually after inspection, not by ZIP code.
Every job is backed by our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the work fails 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. If airflow drops back to pre-cleaning levels within 12 months, call us.
