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 Winter Garden
Dryer vent cleaning in Winter Garden typically runs $150 – $275 for a standard single-family home, with most jobs completed in 60 to 90 minutes. We’re the local Dryer Vent Cleaning crew Hollis Air Duct Cleaning sends to homes from downtown Winter Garden out to Horizon West and the Lakeshore area, and we price every job in writing before we touch anything.
Our dispatch team operates from the Orlando office, but our technicians live and work in the Winter Garden area daily. That means we know the difference between a 1920s bungalow off Plant Street with a short side-wall vent and a two-story Horizon West townhome with a shared vertical stack that runs through three floors. We bring Nikro negative-air machines and Rotobrush rotary tools built for both jobs, and we don’t quote one over the phone without asking which kind of house you’ve got.

Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Winter Garden’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve been serving Winter Garden homeowners since 2004 as part of the Garrison Partners family, and our reputation here is built on showing up inside the window we promised, pricing in writing before work starts, and standing behind the job for a full year. The 365-Day Done Right Promise means if your dryer vent clogs again or our repair fails within twelve months, we come back and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they arrive with professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies. Winter Garden customers tell us they chose us after other outfits quoted a teaser price by phone, then added charges for “extra vents” or “deeper cleaning” once the van was in the driveway. We don’t work that way. The price we write down is the price you pay.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company in Winter Garden
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company work in Winter Garden means more than pulling lint from a trap. In our market, it means understanding how high humidity, year-round AC operation, and dense two-story construction create vent problems that don’t exist in drier climates or older suburbs. We clean the full run from the dryer connection to the exterior cap, using agitation tools and negative-air extraction that remove packed lint, not just the loose stuff.
A typical residential dryer vent cleaning in Winter Garden runs $150 – $225. Homes with longer runs, multiple bends, or shared vertical stacks in condo and townhome buildings run $200 – $275. We inspect before we quote, so you know the exact price before we start.
What We Clean on Every Job
We disconnect and clean the transition hose behind your dryer, run a rotary brush or reverse-air whip through the full duct length, and clear the exterior wall or roof cap. In Winter Garden’s humid climate, we also check for condensation buildup that can mat lint against duct walls, a problem quick snake tools miss entirely.
When to Schedule Cleaning
Most Winter Garden homes need dryer vent cleaning every 12 to 18 months. If your dryer takes more than one cycle to dry towels, the laundry room feels unusually hot, or you smell scorched dust during operation, you’re already overdue. In Horizon West and Lakeshore homes with shared stacks, we recommend annual inspection because lint migration between units accelerates buildup.
Dryer Vent Inspection in Winter Garden
Dryer Vent Inspection in Winter Garden is where we start every job, and it’s often the most valuable service we provide. Using a borescope camera, we map the full duct run, identify crushed or kinked sections, measure airflow, and document conditions for homeowners dealing with builder warranty claims or HOA requirements. A standalone inspection runs $89 – $129 in Winter Garden; it’s included free when you proceed with cleaning.
Inspections are especially critical in Winter Garden’s newer master-planned communities. Many Horizon West homes were built with flexible foil duct routed through shared second-floor stacks, and that duct gets compressed during move-in or by the dryer being pushed back against the wall. Homeowners see an empty lint trap and assume the vent is clear. The camera tells a different story.
Camera Documentation for Warranties
Winter Garden’s newer homes are often still under builder warranty, and many HOAs require documentation before approving exterior modifications. Our inspection reports include dated photos, airflow readings, and a written assessment you can submit to your warranty company or property manager. We’ve helped Horizon West and Lakeshore residents get builder-paid repairs when the original installation was substandard.
Shared Stack Inspections
In Winter Garden apartment and condo buildings with shared vertical dryer chases, we inspect the common stack as well as your individual run. Cleaning only your line while leaving lint in the shared chase is a temporary fix at best. Our camera shows you what’s in the stack, and we coordinate with building management when common-area work is needed.
Trusted Brands We Service in Winter Garden
We carry replacement parts and transition hose for most major dryer brands, and we stock rigid and semi-rigid duct, vent caps, and bird guards sized for Winter Garden’s common building types. Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems for aggressive lint removal, Nikro negative-air machines that capture debris under HEPA filtration, and Abatement Technologies containment tools for jobs in occupied homes. We don’t show up with a shop vacuum and a coat hanger. For vent caps and exterior hardware, we use Guardsman and Honeywell products where specifications call for them, and we explain why one cap design works better than another for your home’s exposure and roofline.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Winter Garden Homes
- Crushed builder-grade foil behind the dryer. In Horizon West two-story homes, the transition hose is often too long and gets kinked when the dryer is pushed back. Airflow drops by half, dry times double, and the heating element overheats. We replace it with proper semi-rigid pipe cut to length.
- Lint migration in shared vertical stacks. Winter Garden’s newer townhomes and condos often vent through a common chase. Lint from an upstairs unit drops into a downstairs neighbor’s line. Cleaning one unit without inspecting the stack leaves the problem intact.
- Humidity-caked lint that standard tools miss. Winter Garden’s subtropical humidity means lint absorbs moisture and mats to duct walls. A quick snake pass skims the surface. Our reverse-air whips and rotary brushes break that film loose and our Nikro machine pulls it out under negative pressure.
- Exterior caps blocked by landscaping or construction debris. We’ve found HardiePlank cutouts covering vent openings, bird nests in Lakeshore homes backing to conservation areas, and mulch piled against low wall caps in Horizon West zero-lot-line yards. The vent can’t exhaust if the cap can’t breathe.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Winter Garden
Every 12 to 18 months for most homes, and annually for properties with shared stacks or heavy dryer use. Winter Garden’s humidity means lint clings to duct walls more aggressively than in drier climates, so the standard “every two years” advice doesn’t apply here. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll schedule an inspection to set the right interval for your home.
Yes. We access the common chase from your unit’s connection point and seal the line above and below to contain debris. Our Nikro negative-air machine creates suction at the exterior cap, so lint is captured, not dropped into neighboring units. We coordinate timing with property management when the building requires it. Call (361) 326-5060 to discuss your building’s layout.
Horizon West’s two-story floor plans on small lots force long, bent duct runs through shared vertical stacks, often with builder-grade flexible foil that gets crushed during move-in. Older Winter Garden bungalows typically have short, straight side-wall vents with rigid duct. The newer homes look better built, but their dryer vent geometry is inherently more failure-prone. We’ve replaced more crushed transition hoses in Horizon West than in any other Winter Garden neighborhood.
We use it on every job where the duct run is concealed inside walls, floors, or shared chases, which covers most Winter Garden homes built after 1990. If you’ve got a short, exposed run in a downtown bungalow, we may inspect visually and with airflow measurement. The camera is included when needed; standalone inspection reports for warranty or HOA documentation are $89 – $129. Call (361) 326-5060 to discuss what your situation requires.
We bring Rotobrush rotary brush systems, Nikro reverse-air whips with HEPA filtration, and Nikro negative-air machines that capture debris under controlled suction. Our methods follow NADCA-recommended practices for agitation and source removal. We don’t use compressed air blowers that push lint into your home or leave it in the duct. Every job is contained, extracted, and documented. Call (361) 326-5060 to see the equipment and get your written estimate.
