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.

AfterAir Duct Cleaning Company in Richmond, TX
Air duct cleaning in Richmond, TX typically costs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system, with most jobs scheduled within a week and completed in 3 – 5 hours. Richmond’s mix of historic homes, newer subdivisions, and Gulf Coast humidity creates specific duct conditions that differ from nearby Houston or Katy. At Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, we price every job in writing before we start, and every Richmond homeowner gets our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Richmond Homes Are Different
Richmond sits where the coastal plain meets Houston’s sprawl, and that geography shapes what we find in ducts here. Summer humidity regularly pushes 80%, which means mold and mildew spores settle in ductwork and multiply when systems cycle on and off. We’ve pulled out duct panels in Pecan Grove and Aliana where the insulation was black with microbial growth, not just household dust.
The housing stock splits sharply. Original Richmond homes near the historic downtown, some dating to the late 1800s, were retrofitted with forced air decades after construction. That means cramped chases, odd angles, and ductwork that wasn’t designed for modern airflow. On the other end, master-planned communities like Harvest Green and Lakes of Bella Terra have builder-grade flex duct that crushes at bends and leaks at joints within the first ten years.
Richmond’s flat terrain and clay soils also matter. Foundation shifts are common, and we’ve found supply boots pulled completely away from slabs in homes off FM 359 and FM 762. When the duct separates from the register, the attic or crawl space becomes the return path, pulling in insulation fibers and rodent debris. We always check for this on Richmond jobs because it’s invisible from the living space but shows up as dust storms when the blower kicks on.
Our Main Richmond Services
Richmond homeowners call us for three core services, each handled with The Garrison Standard: written price, written guarantee, and a crew that arrives uniformed and background-checked.
Air Duct Cleaning in Richmond
Our Air Duct Cleaning in Richmond covers the full supply and return network, from the air handler to every register. In Richmond’s humid climate, we often find mold in the evaporator cabinet and flex duct that has sagged or torn at seams. We use a rotary brush system to agitate debris, followed by negative-air extraction to pull it out of the home entirely. Every job includes before-and-after photos of your own ducts, not stock images.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Richmond
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Richmond removes lint buildup that restricts airflow and creates fire risk. Richmond’s newer homes often have long vent runs through attics to meet exterior aesthetic requirements, and these horizontal sections trap moisture and lint in ways that short through-wall vents don’t. We clean the full run from the dryer connection to the termination cap and check back-pressure with a manometer.
Duct Sealing in Richmond
Our Duct Sealing in Richmond addresses the leaks that cost homeowners 20 – 30% of their conditioned air. In Richmond’s older homes, we find gaps at plenum connections and around filter racks; in newer builds, it’s typically failed tape at flex duct joints. We apply mastic sealant and mechanical fasteners where appropriate, then verify results with a duct blaster test when full-system sealing is performed.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Richmond
No permit is required for routine duct cleaning in Richmond. Duct sealing that involves structural modifications or new duct runs may need Fort Bend County review, but our standard sealing work with mastic and mechanical fasteners does not. We handle any required documentation if a larger project crosses that line.
Most Richmond homeowners are scheduled within 3 – 5 business days. We do not promise same-day service because duct cleaning requires a 3 – 5 hour window and proper crew allocation, but our Houston-based dispatch keeps Richmond in regular rotation without the long waits common to single-technician operations.
We work in virtually all Richmond HOA communities, including gated entries. Our technicians carry background-check documentation and wear Hollis uniforms, which most HOAs require for contractor access. We coordinate entry codes or escort requirements when you book so there’s no delay at the gate.
