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 Reno
Dryer vent cleaning in Reno, TX typically costs $120 – $280 for a standard single-family home, with most jobs completed in under two hours. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning crews serve Reno from our Dallas-Fort Worth dispatch office, so we’re familiar with the rural routes and the older housing stock that defines this part of Lamar County. If your dryer is taking longer than one cycle to dry a load, or if you notice a burnt-lint smell near the laundry room, your vent is likely clogged and creating a genuine fire hazard. Call us at (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate and a written price before any work starts.
We’ve worked on enough Reno homes to know the pattern. Most houses here were built between the 1950s and 1980s, with original sheet-metal ductwork and add-on flex duct that tears easily. The surrounding agricultural land means cotton dust and field debris find their way into every system, especially after harvest season. Roy Castellanos and our team don’t treat Reno as a distant stop on a metro route. We schedule with realistic drive times, show up inside the quoted window, and price every job in writing before we touch anything.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Reno’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Hollis Air Duct Cleaning has been in business since 2004 as part of the Garrison Partners family. That track record predates most competitors in the air duct trade, and it matters in a town like Reno where word travels through neighbors and church groups, not review platforms alone. When we say we’ll arrive between 9 and 11 a.m., we mean it. The Garrison Standard requires it.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. You’ll know who’s walking into your home before they arrive. Every job carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If the work fails within a year, we come back and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. No negotiation, no runaround.
Phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No voicemail loops, no callback queues, no waiting until Monday for someone to pick up. For Reno homeowners who’ve dealt with no-shows from Dallas-area contractors who treat the drive as an afterthought, this operational discipline matters.
We also know the local terrain. After cotton harvest in the fall, fine lint and agricultural dust clog dryer vents across Lamar County faster than you’ll see in suburban Dallas. Our crews expect it and come prepared with professional-grade equipment from Nikro and Rotobrush, not hardware-store attachments.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Reno
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Reno covers multi-unit laundry facilities, RV parks with shared drying stations, and small commercial operations near Highway 82 and the surrounding county roads. The job involves inspecting the full vent run with a camera where accessible, removing built-up lint with a rotary brush system and negative-air machine, and verifying airflow meets NFPA 211 standards. In Reno’s climate, commercial dryers running heavy loads through hot summers accumulate lint rapidly, and the lack of municipal inspection requirements means many systems go years without proper maintenance. A typical commercial dryer vent cleaning in Reno runs $280 – $550 depending on duct length, roof or wall termination height, and whether the system has been maintained previously.
Multi-Unit and Apartment Laundry Systems
Shared laundry rooms in duplexes and small apartment buildings near downtown Reno often have long horizontal vent runs that sag and collect lint. We inspect the full length, mark problem sections, and clean with rotary brushes sized to the duct diameter. If the original installer used flexible transition duct instead of rigid metal, we flag it for replacement.
Seasonal Agricultural Worker Housing
Temporary housing near cotton and grain operations sees extremely heavy dryer use during harvest windows. Lint buildup accelerates, and the risk of fire spikes when dryers run continuously in poorly ventilated utility rooms. We schedule these cleanings before peak season and document airflow readings for property managers.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Reno
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Reno means clearing the entire vent path from your dryer’s transition duct to the exterior termination, plus inspection for damage, improper slope, or signs of pest intrusion. For the typical single-story ranch home that dominates Reno’s housing stock, this is straightforward work that takes 60 – 90 minutes. The danger lies in skipping it. Lint is highly flammable, and a clogged vent forces your dryer to overheat while doubling or tripling drying time. A standard residential dryer vent cleaning in Reno costs $120 – $220. If we need to reroute a poorly designed vent, replace a damaged cap, or install a bird guard, the total typically stays between $180 – $280.
Inspection and Airflow Testing
We start every job with a visual inspection and airflow measurement. If your vent is pushing less than 1,500 feet per minute at the termination, there’s a blockage. We show you the reading, explain what it means, and give you a written price before any cleaning begins.
Bird Guard and Pest Prevention
Reno’s rural setting means birds, wasps, and rodents investigate vent terminations regularly. We install metal mesh bird guards that allow proper exhaust while blocking nests. If your current cap is missing, crushed, or plastic, we replace it with a proper metal termination rated for dryer exhaust temperatures.
Trusted Brands We Service in Reno
Our equipment roster includes Nikro negative-air machines and Rotobrush rotary brush systems, the same tools commercial crews use in Dallas and Fort Worth. For filtration and air quality products, we work with Honeywell and Aprilaire components when upgrades make sense for your system. We don’t show up with shop-vac attachments and call it professional. For Reno homeowners, this means the job gets done correctly the first time, with equipment powerful enough to handle the heavy lint loads we see after harvest season. If your dryer vent needs a component replacement, we stock common caps, transition ducts, and bird guards so you’re not waiting on a parts order from Dallas.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Reno Homes
- Original sheet-metal ductwork with no maintenance history. Most Reno homes were built with galvanized steel ducts that corrode at the seams over decades. We find disconnected sections hidden in walls, especially in ranch-style houses near the original town center, where previous owners simply adapted to longer drying times rather than fixing the root cause.
- Flexible transition ducts crushed behind the dryer. Homeowners push dryers back against the wall, kinking the cheap foil or plastic transition hose. This creates an immediate blockage and fire risk. We replace these with rigid or semi-rigid metal ducts every time we find them.
- Cotton lint and agricultural dust accumulation post-harvest. After fall cotton harvest, fine particulate matter settles across Lamar County. Dryer vents pull in this dust through soffit vents and gaps in siding, coating duct interiors faster than in non-agricultural areas. Reno’s location surrounded by active farmland makes this a recurring issue.
- Improper vent terminations and missing caps. Many older Reno homes have vents that terminate under decks, in crawl spaces, or through walls with no proper cap. This traps moisture, invites pests, and violates basic fire safety standards. We reroute these to proper exterior terminations with metal caps and bird guards.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Reno, TX
Here’s what dryer vent cleaning costs in Reno’s market, with prices agreed in writing before work starts:
| Service | Typical Range in Reno |

| Vent cleaning with bird guard installation | $180 – $280 |
| Vent rerouting or cap replacement | $200 – $340 |
