Call (361) 326-5060

We’ve worked in Kendale Lakes long enough to know the rhythm of this suburb. From the original CBS ranches along SW 107th Avenue to the condo clusters near Kendall Drive and 137th Avenue, our crews make the short drive from our Miami office with the tools and mastic to handle whatever’s waiting in the attic. The phone at Hollis Air Duct Cleaning is answered by a live person, day or night, at (361) 326-5060. No voicemail loops. No callback queues.

What makes Kendale Lakes different from other Miami-Dade suburbs is the sheer uniformity of its housing stock. Most of these homes went up fast in the 1970s and 1980s, built from the same plans with the same attic-mounted air handlers and the same flex-to-sheet-metal transitions. That repetition is an advantage. A technician who has sealed ducts in one Kendale Lakes ranch house effectively knows thousands of them. We know where the collars separate, where garage conversions break the return path, and where the original plenum seams start to weep conditioned air into your attic.

Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Kendale Lakes’s Preferred Duct Sealing Company

We’ve been in business since 2004 as part of the Garrison Partners family, and our Kendale Lakes customers keep calling us back because we show up inside the window, price the job in writing before we touch anything, and leave the site clean. That’s The Garrison Standard. Not a slogan. An operating manual.

Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained on professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies. When we seal your ducts, you get a written price upfront and a 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If the seal fails within a year, we come back and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. No negotiation. No runaround.

Calls are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Whether you’re scheduling around your workday at one of the medical offices near Baptist Hospital of Miami or checking on a musty smell after last night’s thunderstorm knocked out power on your block, someone picks up.

We don’t compete on the lowest teaser price. We compete on discipline: written prices, written guarantees, and crews that arrive squared away and ready to work.

Duct Sealing Services in Kendale Lakes

Duct Sealing Services in Kendale Lakes address the specific leak patterns that develop in this suburb’s aging housing stock. The job involves locating gaps, separations, and deteriorated seams in your supply and return ductwork, then sealing them with mastic compound and reinforced mesh or metal-backed tape. We follow with a negative pressure test to confirm the system holds. In Kendale Lakes, where original 1970s flex ducts have spent fifty years expanding and contracting in a hot attic, sealing is often the difference between cooled air reaching your living room and cooling your insulation instead.

Most Kendale Lakes homeowners need duct sealing when they notice uneven cooling, rising electric bills, or musty odors after the daily summer thunderstorms that blip power and leave evaporator coils damp. A typical whole-home duct sealing job in Kendale Lakes runs $450 – $1,200, depending on accessibility, the extent of leaks, and whether we need to replace damaged flex runs.

Leak Detection and Sealing

We start every job with a camera inspection of accessible ductwork. In Kendale Lakes ranches, we almost always find separated collars behind the air handler and unsealed return plenums in converted garages. Our techs mark each leak, seal it with mastic and mesh, then verify with a pressure test. You’ll see the before-and-after photos of your own ducts, not stock images.

Return Plenum Repair

The return plenum is the box that connects your air handler to the duct system. In Kendale Lakes homes with garage conversions or patio enclosures, this plenum often gets cut, extended, or left open to the garage, pulling in dust, car exhaust, and hot attic air. We rebuild or seal these connections properly, so your system breathes clean air from inside the house, not from the garage.

Duct Insulation in Kendale Lakes

Duct Insulation in Kendale Lakes solves a problem that generic advice from northern climates misses entirely. Here, your attic hits 140°F in July, and uninsulated or poorly insulated sheet-metal ducts act like radiators, warming your cooled air before it ever reaches the vent. The job involves wrapping accessible duct runs with formaldehyde-free fiberglass insulation or replacing degraded original wrap, then sealing the insulation seams to prevent condensation. In Kendale Lakes, where humidity stays above 70% for half the year, cold ducts without proper insulation sweat. That moisture drips onto your ceiling, breeds mold, and eventually destroys the duct seal you just paid for.

Most homeowners need duct insulation when they see water stains near vents, feel that the air from registers is cool but not cold, or notice their system runs constantly without catching up. A typical duct insulation job in Kendale Lakes runs $600 – $1,800 for a whole home, with smaller partial jobs starting around $350.

Condensation Control

South Florida’s wet season turns poorly insulated ducts into condensation factories. We use insulation rated for high-humidity environments, sealed at every seam, so the cold air inside stays cold and the humid attic air stays outside. This matters especially in Kendale Lakes, where afternoon thunderstorms drop the barometric pressure and spike humidity just as your AC is working hardest.

Attic Duct Replacement

Some original flex duct runs in Kendale Lakes have simply aged out. The insulation crumbles, the vapor barrier cracks, and the wire helix corrodes. When we find ductwork that’s too far gone to seal or wrap, we replace it with new insulated flex or sheet-metal runs, properly supported and sealed. We price this in writing before we start, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

Trusted Brands We Service in Kendale Lakes

Our trucks carry professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies, plus filtration and sealing products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman. These are the same tools commercial HVAC crews use, not hardware-store brands. For Kendale Lakes homeowners, that means we don’t need to order parts and make you wait. We stock mastic, mesh, metal-backed tape, and insulation in standard sizes, so most jobs are completed in a single visit. If your system uses a specific filtration setup, we’ll match it with the right component from our inventory.

Common Duct Sealing Problems We See in Kendale Lakes Homes

• Unsealed return plenums in converted garages. Thousands of Kendale Lakes ranches had garages converted to living space or enclosed patios added, but the return duct was never properly extended. The system pulls air through wall cavities, under doors, or straight from the garage, along with dust from unpaved areas and open land nearby.
• Original flex ducts separated at attic collars. The 1970s flex runs in these homes used simpler connection methods than modern standards. After decades of heat cycling and the occasional power blip from summer thunderstorms, the collars loosen and the ducts sag, dumping conditioned air into the attic.
• Scale and mineral buildup weakening seals. Many Kendale Lakes homes are on well water or served by mineral-heavy municipal supply. That scale finds its way into return plenums, combines with year-round humidity, and creates a gritty residue that prevents mastic from bonding properly to duct surfaces.
• Microbial growth after thunderstorm power interruptions. When afternoon sea-breeze thunderstorms blip the power, your air handler shuts down mid-cycle with a wet coil. In a closed-up Kendale Lakes house, that dampness lingers in unsealed duct interiors, and musty odors start within a day or two.
