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 Westminster
Dryer vent cleaning in Westminster, TX typically runs $120 – $280 for a standard single-family home, and most jobs are completed in under 90 minutes. Our crews are dispatched from the Dallas-Fort Worth office and carry the full Rotobrush and Nikro equipment roster needed to handle Westminster’s mix of 1970s tract homes and newer builds without rescheduling for parts. If your dryer’s taking two cycles to finish a load, or you’re noticing that musty, heated-lint smell in the laundry room, that’s the vent telling you it’s past due. Call us at (361) 326-5060 and we’ll give you a written price before we touch anything.
We’ve been driving the stretch between Anna and McKinney long enough to know which Westminster subdivisions sit on clay soil that shifts ductwork, and which ones built in the ’80s still have the original thin-gauge flex lines that sag and trap lint. That local knowledge matters because a vent cleaning crew that doesn’t understand your house type is guessing at the problem. We don’t guess. We inspect, we photograph, we price in writing, and we clean to The Garrison Standard.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Westminster’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Westminster homeowners know our vans because we’ve been the ones showing up inside the quoted window, not three hours late with a story. Our reputation here was built on the jobs we’ve done on Westminster’s older ranch homes off FM 455 and in the newer developments closer to the McKinney border, where homeowners talk to each other at the H-E-B and word gets around fast.
Our customers in Westminster leave reviews that mention the same things: the technician called before arriving, the price on the invoice matched the price on the phone, and the laundry room didn’t look like a construction site when he left. We don’t chase stars; we chase repeat calls, and in a town this size, you can’t fake that.
Dispatch from our Dallas-Fort Worth office means we’re routing crews efficiently across Collin County. Westminster sits within our standard service radius, so you’re not paying a travel premium or waiting for a technician to finish a job in Denton before heading your way. We know the local roads, the typical housing stock, and the specific vent configurations that show up in Westminster again and again.
What separates us from the one-man operations and the coupon-mailer outfits is accountability backed in writing. Every Hollis technician is background-checked and uniformed, arrives under The Garrison Code, and leaves with the job documented. If something’s not right, our 365-Day Done Right Promise means we come back and make it right at no charge. That’s not a slogan; it’s printed on every work order.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Westminster
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Westminster means pulling the built-up lint and debris from your entire vent run, from the back of the dryer to the exterior cap, using professional rotary brush systems and negative-air extraction. Most Westminster homes we see have vent runs between 8 and 25 feet, with multiple elbows in the older tract homes near the original town center that complicate the job and collect more lint at the turns. If your vent hasn’t been cleaned in two years or more, you’re likely running a fire risk and paying extra on your electric bill for the privilege.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team handles everything from routine maintenance to vents that are completely blocked. A standard cleaning in Westminster runs $120 – $180. If we find a bird nest, heavy grease accumulation from indoor grilling setups, or a flex line that’s crushed behind the dryer, that can push the total toward $220 – $280. We photograph the before and after, and you see the images before we pack up.
Inspection and Lint Removal
We start every job with a visual inspection of the full vent run, including the exterior cap and the transition hose behind your dryer. In Westminster’s denser neighborhoods, we often find caps clogged with lint that’s mixed with the fine dust the Santa Ana winds blow through, creating a packed mat that standard brushing won’t clear. Our Rotobrush system breaks that up and our Nikro negative-air machine pulls it out before it can recirculate into your laundry room.
Vent Rerouting and Cap Replacement
Some Westminster homes, especially the 1970s ranches with additions, have vent runs that are too long, too many turns, or terminate in crawl spaces where moisture breeds mold. When the geometry is the problem, we reroute to a shorter, straighter path and install a proper vent cap with a working damper. Rerouting in Westminster typically adds $150 – $350 to the base cleaning price depending on attic or crawlspace access.
Dryer Vent Installation in Westminster
Dryer Vent Installation in Westminster is most often needed when a homeowner relocates the laundry room during a remodel, replaces an electric dryer with gas, or discovers that the existing vent was never code-compliant to begin with. In Westminster’s original 1950s – 60s ranch stock, we still find dryers venting into the garage, the attic, or through a wall with no cap at all. That’s not just inefficient; it’s a genuine fire and carbon monoxide hazard that needs correcting, not patching.
New vent installation in Westminster runs $200 – $450 for a standard through-wall or through-roof run with proper materials. Complex jobs, like routing through a finished ceiling in a two-story home or running rigid metal duct through a tight crawlspace, can reach $500 – $750. We use only solid metal duct or UL-listed flexible transition hose, never the flammable plastic flex that some handymen still install.
Gas Dryer Venting Requirements
Gas dryers in Westminster must vent to the exterior with no leaks in the run, because any backdraft can pull combustion gases into your living space. We test with a manometer after installation to confirm proper draft, and we document the reading on your work order. If your current vent shows corrosion at the joints or a cap that’s missing its damper, it’s worth having us look before you smell gas in the laundry room.
Bird Guard and Pest Prevention
Westminster’s mature trees and established neighborhoods attract birds that see an uncapped vent as prime nesting real estate. We install stainless steel bird guards that allow lint and moisture to escape while blocking sparrows, starlings, and the occasional squirrel. A guard installed during a cleaning or new vent job runs $45 – $85 depending on the cap style and roof or wall location.
Trusted Brands We Service in Westminster
We carry replacement parts and compatible components for every major dryer brand we encounter in Westminster homes. That includes Whirlpool, LG, Samsung, Maytag, GE, and Bosch venting systems, plus the aftermarket caps and guards from Guardsman and Aprilaire that we install when the original equipment has failed. Our vans stock rigid aluminum duct in 4-inch and 6-inch diameters, adjustable elbows, fire-rated foil transition hose, and the specialized long-reach tools needed for Westminster’s deeper attic runs. Because we don’t have to order parts, most installations and repairs finish same visit. If you’re also considering Duct Sealing in Westminster, we can bundle that inspection with your vent cleaning and handle both jobs in one trip.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Westminster Homes
- Crushed or kinked flex lines behind the dryer. Westminster’s older ranch homes often have laundry closets barely deep enough for modern dryers, so the flex gets smashed against the wall. That restriction cuts airflow by half and turns the duct into a lint trap that ignites easily.
- Long vent runs with multiple elbows. The 1970s – 80s tract homes near Westminster’s commercial corridors were built with vent runs that zigzag through attics to reach exterior walls. Every 90-degree elbow reduces airflow equivalent to adding five feet of straight duct, and lint piles up at each turn.
- Missing or broken exterior caps. Santa Ana winds and seasonal storms damage cheap plastic caps, and once the damper’s gone, birds move in. We find active nests in Westminster vents several times a month, especially in spring and early fall.
- Grease and cooking residue in shared walls. In Westminster’s denser neighborhoods and in homes with indoor cooking operations, we’ve pulled vent lines that were coated with a film of grease and lint so thick it required degreasing agent before rotary brushing could even touch it.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Westminster
We typically schedule Westminster appointments within 2 – 4 business days of your call, and our dispatch from the Dallas-Fort Worth office means we’re not routing a technician from Fort Worth or Denton to reach you. Call (361) 326-5060 to check this week’s availability.

Our pricing is consistent across Collin County, so a standard cleaning in Westminster costs the same $120 – $180 as it does in Anna or McKinney.
