Trusted Dryer Vent Cleaning for Dallas Homeowners
Dryer vent cleaning is the single most overlooked fire-prevention task in most Dallas homes. Lint, which is highly flammable, builds up inside the vent run behind your dryer and inside the wall, roof cap, or soffit exit. The U.S. Fire Administration has reported about 2,900 dryer fires each year, and the overwhelming cause is lint buildup. Most Dallas homes should have the dryer vent cleaned every 12 months, more often if you dry for a large family or run the dryer more than five loads a week. Hollis Air Duct Dallas has been cleaning dryer vents since 2004. We’re part of the Garrison Partners family and we operate under The Garrison Standard: a written price before the work starts, background-checked uniformed technicians on site, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise behind every job. Call (361) 309-6223 and a live person answers. Always.
Key Takeaways:
- Dryer vent cleaning in Dallas typically runs $89 to $229 depending on the length of the vent run and access difficulty.
- Annual cleaning is the baseline; second-floor laundry rooms in older Dallas homes often need it more frequently.
- Every Hollis job comes with a written price confirmed before the truck even touches your driveway.
- The 365-Day Done Right Promise is in writing, not explained by the tech after you complain.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service
A Vent Cleaning service removes the lint, dust, and debris that builds up inside the vent run connecting your dryer to the outside. Over time, that buildup chokes airflow, forces your dryer to work longer and hotter, and creates the conditions for a lint fire. In Dallas, where spring storms drive pollen and fine dust into exterior vent caps, the buildup can happen faster than homeowners expect. Hollis Air Duct Dallas runs the vent with professional rotary brush systems from Rotobrush. We don’t use a vacuum-only pass that leaves the wall of the pipe caked. We brush the full run mechanically and pull the loosened material out with negative-air equipment from Nikro. A standard clean on a single-story Dallas home with a short, accessible vent is usually $89 to $139. Longer runs, roof exits, or second-floor vents can run $160 to $229. The price is written before the work begins, and it does not change at the door.
What We Actually Do
The technician removes the vent cover at the dryer and at the exterior exit. Then the rotary brush travels the full duct run, breaking up caked lint. The negative-air machine captures it so it does not blow back into your laundry room.
When a Standard Clean Is Enough
If your dryer has not been serviced in two or more years, or if you moved into a Dallas home and have no service history, a standard cleaning is the right starting point. After the job, we photograph the inside of the vent so you can see the result, not take our word for it.
Styles & brands we work with
Dryer Vent Installation
Dryer Vent Installation means running a new vent from the back of your dryer to the exterior of your Dallas home, using rigid metal duct instead of the foil or plastic flex hose that accelerates lint trapping. The wrong material is a major problem in older Dallas houses, where flex hose was the quick, cheap choice for decades. Hollis Air Duct Dallas replaces that with code-compliant rigid duct, secures every joint with proper connections, and insulates runs through unconditioned attic space where Texas summers push 140 degrees and condensation becomes a real concern. A straightforward replacement in a single-story Dallas home, where the dryer sits against an exterior wall, typically runs $180 to $300. A longer run through the attic, or one requiring roof access, can run $300 to $500. Written price first. Always.
When Replace Beats Repair
Flex foil and plastic flex hose trap lint. Period. If your Dallas home has either, replacing the run with rigid duct is one of the best upgrades you can make. The cost is modest, the fire risk drops, and the dryer runs on less energy from the day it’s installed.
What We Use
We install rigid galvanized metal duct, not foil flex. Joints get sealed, not taped. Runs through attic space get insulated so hot, humid Dallas air doesn’t create condensation on the outside wall of the pipe.
Dryer Vent Repair
Dryer Vent Repair covers the problems that keep a vent from doing its job: crushed or separated sections, a stuck or rodent-damaged exterior flap, a sagging attic run, or a vent cap that has pulled away from the soffit. Dallas weather has a hand in a lot of this. High winds from spring storm lines dislodge caps. Squirrels and roof rats, common across neighborhoods like Lake Highlands and Highland Park, love attic vent runs. Hollis Air Duct Dallas repairs the original issue but also checks the whole run while we’re on site, because a repair that ignores a crushed section ten feet in is not a repair. Simple repairs, like replacing a damaged exterior cap or re-connecting a separated joint, typically run $120 to $200. Repairs that require attic access or replacing a section of buried duct can run $220 to $400. The price is written down before we start, and the repair is covered in writing by the 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Common Repairs We Handle
We’ve repaired hundreds of Dallas dryer vents with crushed sections hidden in walls, caps missing their flap entirely, and runs that were never connected properly. The most common cause in older Dallas homes is the same: plastic flex hose that was never built for Texas attic heat.
Same Call, Full Inspection
When you call about a repair, the technician inspects the entire run, not just the visible problem. If we find a secondary issue, you get a written price for that work before anything extra happens. No surprise line on the invoice.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Choosing a Dryer Vent Cleaning Company in Dallas comes down to one question: will the price be the same when the tech walks out as when the booking was made? Most of the horror stories about this trade come from bait-and-switch pricing. A $49 “whole house special” becomes $400 once the crew is in the laundry room. Hollis Air Duct Dallas, part of the Garrison Partners family since 2004, does not work that way. We write the price. We show it to you. You approve it. Then we start. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is in writing on every job: if the work fails within a year, we return and make it right at no charge. Free second visit included. Every technician is background-checked and uniformed. The person on the phone when you call (361) 309-6223 is a live person, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, not a voicemail box. A standard dryer vent cleaning in Dallas runs $89 to $229. You’ll know the exact number before anyone picks up a tool.
What “Done Right” Actually Means
The Garrison Standard has four requirements: arrive inside the window, price in writing, complete the job by the book, leave the site clean. If any one of those fails, the 365-Day Done Right Promise gives you recourse. Most Dallas competitors won’t put that in writing.
Who Shows Up Matters
You should know who is walking into your home before they arrive. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and identifiable. The truck is marked. The name matches the booking. This is not a subcontractor roulette operation.
Dryer Vent Inspection
A Dryer Vent Inspection is a camera and airflow check of the entire vent run from the dryer connection to the exterior exit. It’s not the same as a cleaning, though we often inspect first and then clean, or inspect while we clean. Dallas homeowners call for an inspection when they buy a home, when the dryer has been running long cycles for months, or when a home inspector flagged the vent but did not actually look inside it. Hollis Air Duct Dallas uses a camera scope to see the full interior of the run. We check for crushed sections, sagging, gaps at the joints, backlogged lint, and signs of pest entry. A standalone inspection in Dallas typically runs $79 to $139. If we find a problem and you approve the repair or cleaning, the inspection fee is applied to the work. Written price before anything starts.
What the Camera Shows
The scope reveals what the eye can’t. We find separated joints inside finished walls, pocket lint behind a sagging attic run, and vent caps that never open because the flap is wedged with debris. These are all silent problems until they’re not.
Before You Buy a Dallas Home
If you’re under contract on a Dallas home, a dryer vent inspection is cheaper than any surprise you’d find in the first six months. Many home inspectors glance at the vent cap and move on. We look at the whole run and give you a written condition report.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning serves the laundromats, apartment complexes, salons, gyms, and hospitality businesses in Dallas that run dryers constantly. High-volume use means lint accumulates in weeks, not months. Fire codes for commercial laundry operations in Dallas require documented cleaning at regular intervals. Hollis Air Duct Dallas handles commercial vent runs with industrial rotary brush equipment from Rotobrush and negative-air capture from Nikro, the same professional-grade tools used on commercial jobs across the metro. Commercial pricing depends on the number of dryers, the length and diameter of the runs, and roof or high exterior access. A typical four-dryer laundry room in a Dallas apartment building can run $450 to $900 for a full clean and inspection. We provide a written quote before any work begins, and every commercial job is covered by the 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Documented for Code Compliance
We provide a written service report that includes what was cleaned, what was found, and what was corrected. For Dallas property managers who need to show proof of maintenance, that record is what keeps the fire marshal satisfied.
Multi-Location and Recurring Plans
Property owners and management companies across Dallas, Richardson, and Garland use scheduled recurring service with locked written pricing. It keeps every unit on a documented cycle and keeps the number from moving mid-year.
Brands We Service
We service and clean dryer vent systems connected to all major dryer brands. Your dryer brand doesn’t change the vent-cleaning procedure, but it does tell us what kind of lint volume to expect. We see a lot of LG and Samsung units in newer Dallas construction, and plenty of Whirlpool and Maytag machines in older homes. High-efficiency dryers from Samsung and LG produce fine, dense lint that compacts quickly inside a vent run. If your home has one of these paired with a long attic run, we’d recommend cleaning twice a year.
We also work regularly with Speed Queen and commercial-grade units in Dallas apartment buildings and laundromats. These machines process heavy loads and produce a high volume of lint per cycle. Whether your dryer is a Whirlpool, Maytag, Samsung, LG, or a commercial Speed Queen, the vent cleaning process is the same: mechanical brush, negative-air capture, camera verification, and a written price before any tool comes off the truck.

- Clothes take two cycles to dry. When the vent is restricted, moisture cannot escape efficiently. Your dryer runs longer, uses more electricity, and the heating element cycles far more than it should. In Dallas summers, that’s also added heat load in your laundry room.
- The dryer itself is hot to the touch. Heat should leave the dryer with the air. If the machine’s exterior feels unusually warm, the vent is not moving air properly. That heat is staying inside the machine and the duct, which is where lint ignites.
- You can smell burning. A lint fire inside the vent often starts small, smoldering before it becomes a full fire. If you smell burning, stop running the dryer, unplug it if you can safely reach the plug, and call (361) 309-6223. Do not run another load until the vent is inspected.
- The exterior flap doesn’t open during a cycle. Go outside while the dryer runs. If the flap at the vent cap is closed or barely moving, airflow is severely restricted. That flap should be pushed open by a steady stream of warm air when the dryer is running.
- Lint is visible around the vent cap or the laundry room. Lint outside the pipe is a symptom of a gap or a separation inside. If it’s escaping anywhere except the cap, the run is compromised and needs repair, not just cleaning.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
Written quote before anything else. We confirm the scope of work and write the price down. You approve it. The number does not change at the door, in the laundry room, or at the invoice. This is The Garrison Standard, and we’ve run on it since 2004.
- 2
Inspect the full run. The technician scopes the vent with a camera to map the run, identify blockages, and check for damage. We start every job knowing exactly what’s inside, not guessing.
- 3
Mechanical brush cleaning. We run a rotary brush system from Rotobrush through the full length of the vent, dislodging caked lint and debris. The negative-air machine from Nikro captures everything so it doesn’t settle back into your home.
- 4
Verify the result. We send the camera back through. You’ll see the inside of the vent when we finish, not an “all done” wave from the driveway. If a section is unreachable or still dirty, we address it before we pack up.
- 5
Leave the site clean. Drop cloths come up, the laundry room is left as it was found, and the exterior cap is reinstalled and sealed. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is on the written invoice. If anything fails in the next year, you call, we return at no charge.
How Much Does Dryer Vent Cleaning Cost in Dallas?
A typical Dryer Vent Cleaning cost guide for Dallas runs $89 to $229. Single-story homes with a short, straight vent against an exterior wall sit at the lower end. Two-story homes with a roof or soffit exit, or a long run through attic space, sit at the upper end. If your vent is in poor condition, or the exterior cap needs replacement, the repair adds $120 to $400 depending on the work. If the vent needs to be replaced entirely with rigid duct, expect $180 to $500 based on run length and access.
The biggest factor is access. Roof exits require ladders, time, and care on a sloped surface. Attic runs in Dallas summers are hot, slow work. A 40-foot vent run takes longer to brush than a 10-foot run. All of that is accounted for in the written price you get before we start.
How do you avoid overpaying? Get a written price. Any company that quotes one number on the phone and reserves the right to adjust after seeing the vent is setting you up. Our estimate is free, and the number we write is the number we charge. The estimate includes a full written scope of work so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Dallas
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Dallas is the process of removing built-up lint, dust, and debris from the full vent run that carries hot air and moisture from your dryer to the exterior of your home.

Yes. We service Whirlpool, Maytag, Samsung, LG, Speed Queen, and all other major brands.
