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 Rendon
Dryer vent cleaning in Rendon typically runs $180 – $340 for a standard single-family home, with most jobs completed in under two hours. If your dryer is taking two cycles to finish a load or the laundry room feels unusually humid, the vent run is likely restricted. Call Hollis Air Duct Cleaning at (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate and we’ll give you a written price before any work starts.
We serve Rendon from our Dallas-Fort Worth dispatch office, with crews running south through the Metroplex into Tarrant County’s rural fringe. We know the area around Retta Road, the homes off Rendon Road, and the properties near the intersection of FM 1187 and Crowley Road. These aren’t just dots on a map to us. We’ve worked in the attics of 1980s pier-and-beam homes and pulled crushed flex duct out of slab-built ranches from the 2000s. The housing stock here is different from Fort Worth’s subdivisions, and the dryer vent problems are different too.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Rendon’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve been in business since 2004 as part of the Garrison Partners family. That track record predates most of the competitors you’ll find in a Google search for Rendon. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and expected to operate by The Garrison Code: arrive inside the quoted window, price the job in writing before touching anything, complete the work by the book, and leave the site clean.
Every repair and cleaning we perform carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work fails within a full year, we come back and make it right at no charge. That includes a free second visit. We don’t negotiate this after the fact; it’s written on every job.
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 morning to schedule. When you call (361) 326-5060, you talk to a human who can book your appointment and give you a real arrival window.
We use professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies. These are the same tools commercial crews use, not hardware-store gear. Our technicians explain what they’re doing in plain terms, and they show you what they found if you want to see it.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company in Rendon
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company work in Rendon means dealing with a specific local problem: the fine, powdery mineral grit from well water softeners that bonds with laundry lint to form a gray, pasty restriction inside the vent run. This isn’t the fluffy lint you’d find in a city-water home in Fort Worth or Mansfield. It’s denser, it sticks to flex-duct walls, and a standard vent brush often won’t break it loose. That’s why our Dryer Vent Cleaning team uses agitation tools followed by HEPA filtration, not just a quick pass with a brush.
A typical dryer vent cleaning in Rendon runs $180 – $260 for a straightforward single-story home with accessible exterior termination. Two-story homes, runs longer than 25 feet, or vents routed through unconditioned attics with multiple bends push the range to $280 – $340. Bird guard installation, vent cap replacement, or rerouting a crushed run are priced separately and quoted in writing before we start.
When Rendon Homeowners Need This Service
Call us when dry times creep from 45 minutes toward 90, when the exterior vent hood flapper barely moves during a cycle, or when you notice a burnt-lint smell in the laundry room. In Rendon’s humid subtropical climate, with summers regularly hitting 100°F, a restricted dryer vent doesn’t just waste energy. It creates a genuine fire hazard. The U.S. Fire Administration lists dryer vent lint buildup as a leading cause of residential fires. We don’t give DIY cleaning instructions for this reason; the work requires proper agitation tools and HEPA containment.
What the Job Actually Involves
We inspect the full run with a camera when access allows, then use rotary agitation tools to break loose the mineral-lint paste, followed by negative-air extraction with HEPA filtration. We check the exterior hood and flapper for pollen blockage, test airflow before and after, and show you the difference. The price is written down before we start. It does not move at the door.
Dryer Vent Inspection in Rendon
Dryer Vent Inspection in Rendon is where we almost always start, because a visual check from the laundry room or a quick feel of the exterior hood tells you very little about what’s happening inside a 20-foot flex run baking in a 140°F attic. A proper inspection uses a camera to see the full pathway, identify sag points where lint collects, and spot disconnections or crush damage from years of attic traffic.
A standalone dryer vent inspection in Rendon costs $120 – $180. If you proceed with cleaning the same day, we apply the inspection fee toward the full service price. Many homeowners book the inspection first because they want to know whether the problem is the vent, the dryer itself, or both before spending money on the wrong fix.
Camera Inspection of the Full Run
We feed a borescope through the vent from either the dryer connection or the exterior termination, whichever gives better access. In Rendon’s older homes with extended flex-duct runs, we often find sagging sections where the strap has failed, creating a low point that collects the mineral-lint paste. You see it on the monitor in real time. No guesswork.
Written Report and Next Steps
After the inspection, you get a written description of what we found, where the restrictions are located, and what it will cost to clear them. If the run is damaged or improperly routed, we’ll quote vent rerouting or cap replacement separately. Nothing happens until you approve the written price.
Trusted Brands We Service in Rendon
We stock parts and use equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies. Rotobrush rotary brush systems break loose stubborn buildup inside flex duct; Nikro negative-air machines maintain suction through long runs without losing containment; Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration captures the fine mineral dust and pollen particles that standard shop vacuums blow back into your home. For vent caps and bird guards, we carry Guardsman products rated for North Texas wind and hail exposure. We keep common sizes on our trucks so most Rendon jobs don’t wait on parts.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Rendon Homes
- Mineral-lint paste from well-water softeners. Rendon’s private wells mean most homes run softeners that discharge fine grit into the wash cycle. That grit bonds with lint in the dryer vent to form a dense, gray paste. A standard brush skims over it. Only rotary agitation followed by HEPA extraction removes it completely.
- Sagging flex-duct runs in unconditioned attics. Rendon’s rural homes often have 20- to 35-foot flex-duct spans through attics that hit 140°F in July. The duct dries out, straps fail, and low points form where lint collects. A vent that looks clear at the hood can be 60% restricted in the middle of the run.
- Pollen-blocked exterior hoods and flappers. Rendon’s heavy pecan and oak canopy produces intense spring pollen loads. The vent hood and flapper mechanism clog with fine debris, creating back-pressure that slows airflow even when the interior run is clean. We check and clear this on every job.
- Crushed or disconnected runs from attic traffic. In Rendon’s pier-and-beam homes from the 1980s and 1990s, HVAC contractors and homeowners walking the attic space have crushed dryer vent runs or pulled connections loose. We find these with camera inspection and quote rerouting in writing.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Rendon
Your Rendon home almost certainly runs on a private well with a water softener, and that softener discharges fine mineral grit into the wash. That grit bonds with lint in the dryer vent to form a dense, pasty buildup rather than fluffy lint. Add Rendon’s heavy pecan and oak pollen, and the restriction builds in months instead of years. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll inspect it and give you a written price to clear it properly.
Two-cycle drying is almost always a restricted vent, not a failing dryer. The appliance is producing heat but can’t exhaust moisture fast enough. We verify this with a airflow test and camera inspection. If the vent is clear and airflow is normal, we’ll tell you it’s the dryer and you can call an appliance tech. Most of the time in Rendon, it’s the vent. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free inspection.
We camera-inspect the full run, use rotary agitation tools to break loose the mineral-lint paste, extract it with negative-air HEPA filtration, clear the exterior hood and flapper of pollen debris, and test airflow before and after. We show you the results. The price is written before we start and doesn’t change. Call (361) 326-5060 to book.
Every 12 – 18 months for Rendon homes on well water with softeners, because the mineral-lint paste builds faster than plain lint. If you dry heavy loads daily or have a long attic run, inspect annually. Homes without softeners or with short, straight runs can often go two years. We don’t upsell unnecessary cleanings; we’ll inspect and tell you what your specific run looks like. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule.
Yes. We camera-inspect from the dryer connection or exterior termination without disturbing attic insulation or pulling duct unless we find damage that requires replacement. Most inspections and cleanings are done with minimal disruption. If we do find a crushed or disconnected run, we’ll show you the camera footage and quote replacement in writing before touching anything. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule your inspection.
