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 Duct Sealing Across St. Pete Beach
We dispatch crews to St. Pete Beach from our Miami coordination office, and we’ve learned that duct sealing here isn’t the same job it is inland. The salt air rolling off the Gulf doesn’t just rust your grill; it eats through galvanized duct seams, loosens mastic, and turns small leaks into major air loss faster than most homeowners realize. In St. Pete Beach, a duct system that was sealed five years ago can already be bleeding 20 – 30% of its conditioned air into your attic or crawl space.
Our Duct Sealing team handles everything from single-room repairs in Pass-a-Grille bungalows to full-system resealing in Gulf-front condo towers. We arrive inside the quoted window, price the work in writing before we touch anything, and back it with our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is St. Pete Beach’s Preferred Duct Sealing Company
We’ve been sealing ducts in Pinellas County since 2004, and St. Pete Beach has always been one of our busiest markets. The Garrison Standard means our technicians arrive uniformed, background-checked, and equipped with professional-grade tools from Nikro and Abatement Technologies, not hardware-store caulk guns. Homeowners here know the difference.
Our phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No voicemail loops, no callback queues. When you’re dealing with a duct leak that’s spiking your FPL bill or feeding mold growth after a humid summer, you talk to a human who can get a crew scheduled.
We also handle Air Duct Cleaning in St. Pete Beach and Dryer Vent Cleaning in St. Pete Beach, so we can address the full system when corrosion and moisture have caused multiple problems.
Duct Sealing Services in St. Pete Beach
Duct Sealing Services in St. Pete Beach focus on closing gaps, cracks, and separated joints in your HVAC ductwork to stop conditioned air from escaping into unconditioned spaces. Because St. Pete Beach homes run AC almost constantly from May through October, even minor leaks force your system to work harder, raising electric bills and accelerating wear. We typically find the worst leakage around attic trunk lines in 1950s – 60s bay-side ranches and in the flexible duct runs of 1970s – 80s Gulf-front condos, where salt corrosion has degraded connections over decades.
A typical duct sealing job in St. Pete Beach runs $450 – $1,200 for residential systems, depending on accessibility and the extent of corrosion damage. We inspect with a duct blaster or smoke pencil, mark every leak, then seal with mastic compound and reinforced mesh tape rated for Florida humidity. The price is written down before any work starts.
Leak Detection and Assessment
We pressurize your duct system and measure airflow loss to quantify exactly how much air you’re losing. In St. Pete Beach, we regularly find systems leaking 25 – 40% of their air into hot attics or damp crawl spaces, directly because salt-corroded seams have opened up.

Mastic Sealing and Reinforcement
We apply water-based duct mastic with fiberglass mesh tape at every joint, seam, and penetration. Unlike foil tape that peels in humidity, mastic remains flexible and airtight for years, even with St. Pete Beach’s near-100% summer humidity cycles.

Duct Insulation in St. Pete Beach
Duct Insulation in St. Pete Beach addresses a separate but related problem: even sealed ducts lose efficiency when they pass through 140-degree attics or damp crawl spaces without proper thermal barrier. In St. Pete Beach, we see this most often in original 1950s – 60s concrete-block homes on the bay side, where thin or degraded fiberglass wrap has compressed or fallen away, and in older condo towers where contractors cut corners on chase insulation. Uninsulated or poorly insulated ducts can raise supply air temperature by 8 – 15 degrees before it reaches your vents.
Duct insulation work in St. Pete Beach typically costs $600 – $1,800, depending on linear footage and whether we’re re-insulating existing sealed ducts or insulating as part of a full sealing and wrapping job. We use formaldehyde-free fiberglass wrap with vapor barrier, or closed-cell spray foam where space and access allow. Every job gets a written price before we start.
Attic Duct Wrapping
We wrap exposed metal or flex duct with R-6 to R-8 insulation with intact vapor barrier, sealed at every seam with matching tape. In St. Pete Beach attics, this prevents the condensation that forms when 55-degree supply air hits 130-degree metal in July.
Crawl Space and Chase Insulation
For low-lying bay-side homes in neighborhoods like the Isle of Palms, we insulate ducts in vented crawl spaces where flood risk and groundwater intrusion make moisture control critical. Proper insulation here prevents the mold-friendly temperature differential that otherwise forms on duct surfaces.
Trusted Brands We Service in St. Pete Beach
Our crews carry equipment and materials from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies on every St. Pete Beach job. These are the same filtration, sealing, and insulation products used in commercial HVAC installations, specified for durability in high-humidity coastal environments. We don’t substitute cheaper hardware-store alternatives when we’re working in salt-air conditions that test material quality. If your system uses Honeywell electronic air cleaners, Aprilaire media filters, or Abatement Technologies HEPA equipment, we stock compatible components and can service them during the same visit. Turnaround on parts is fast because we coordinate from our Miami office with regional distributors who understand South Florida’s demand patterns.
Common Duct Sealing Problems We See in St. Pete Beach Homes
- Salt-corroded galvanized seams in bay-side ranches. The 1950s – 60s concrete-block homes near Boca Ciega Bay often have original galvanized steel ductwork. Salt air infiltrates attic vents and crawl-space openings, corroding seams until they separate. We reseal with mastic and evaluate whether partial duct replacement is more cost-effective than repeated repairs.
- Collapsed flex duct in Gulf-front condos. The 1970s – 80s condo towers along Gulf Boulevard frequently have flexible duct runs that have sagged, torn, or pulled loose from boots due to decades of vibration and humidity cycling. We replace damaged sections and seal new connections with reinforced mesh and mastic.
- Storm-surge moisture damage in low-lying neighborhoods. After tropical weather, we check duct systems in Pass-a-Grille and the Isle of Palms for saltwater intrusion into crawl spaces and chases. Saltwater accelerates corrosion and leaves behind chloride residue that continues degrading metal even after drying. Sealing alone isn’t enough if corrosion has structurally weakened the duct.
- DIY foil-tape failures. Homeowners in St. Pete Beach often try sealing visible leaks with hardware-store foil tape. In this humidity, the adhesive fails within one to two seasons, and the tape peels back leaving sticky residue that prevents proper mastic adhesion. We remove old tape and apply the correct materials.
