Fast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Garland
Air duct cleaning in Garland runs $450 to $850 for a full residential system in an average 1,800 to 2,400 square foot home, and most jobs wrap up in four to seven hours. Ductwork that has never been touched since a house was built in the 1970s can push toward the higher end, because the work shifts from maintenance into repair. That is the reality of Garland’s housing stock more than any other city in the metroplex, and it changes what a proper cleaning actually requires.
We serve Garland daily from the brand’s Dallas-Fort Worth scheduling office, with crews that know the neighborhoods, the home ages, and the way clay soil shifts under slab foundations here. If you want a straight answer on what is inside your ducts and what it will cost to put right, call (361) 309-6223. You will get a written price before any work starts, and we stand behind it for a full year.
Key takeaways:
- Full-system cleaning in Garland averages $450 to $850, written up front before we touch anything.
- Many 1960s to 1980s Garland homes have original flex duct that has collapsed or detached, which a cleaning alone will not fix.
- Every job includes a camera inspection, source-removal cleaning, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing.
- Calls are answered by a live person, 24/7. No voicemail loops.
Why Hollis Air Duct Dallas Is Garland’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Most Garland customers call us because a previous company either skipped the inspection entirely or pushed a cheap basic package that never touched the real problem. We take a different approach. Our Air Duct Cleaning team runs a camera through the system before anything gets scrubbed, because in Garland you are often dealing with ductwork that predates current building codes by three or four decades. That changes what needs to happen, and you deserve to know that before you pay.
Every technician who arrives in Garland is background-checked and uniformed, and they work under The Garrison Code: arrive inside the quoted window, price the job in writing before it starts, do the work by the book, and leave the site clean. Roy Castellanos leads the team with one standard: if it is not done right, we come back and make it right at no charge for a full year. That is the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and it is on every invoice in writing.
We answer our own phones, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. When a Garland homeowner calls at 6 a.m. because a return duct is whistling or a bedroom is not cooling, they talk to a person who can schedule, not a machine that promises a callback. That matters when your AC is running hard through a Garland July and half your airflow is going into the attic instead of the house.

Air Duct Repair in Garland
Air Duct Repair in Garland is often the real job hiding behind a routine cleaning request. Decades of clay soil expansion and contraction under slab foundations pull duct connections loose, and the original flex duct installed in 1960s through 1980s ranch homes was never designed to last 50 years. When a run has collapsed or a connection has separated from the plenum, no amount of brushing will move air through it.
Repair work on a typical Garland home can add $200 to $600 to a cleaning, depending on how many runs need to be reconnected or replaced. That is not an upsell; it is the difference between a system that moves air and one that just looks cleaner. We show you the camera footage before we do anything, so you see exactly what we see.
Collapsed Runs and Detached Collars
The most common failure we find in Garland is gray 1970s flex duct that has collapsed internally from heat and age. The outer jacket looks intact, but the inner liner has crushed down to nothing. When that happens on a return run, the system pulls unconditioned attic air instead of room air, and that is how blown-in insulation ends up inside your plenum. We cut the failed section out, reconnect with sealed collars, and verify airflow at the register.
Return Plenum Sealing
Cleaning a supply system without sealing the return plenum in Garland means the problem comes back within months. Loose joints on a 50-year-old return plenum act like a vacuum pulling attic dust and insulation fibers straight into the air you breathe. We seal those joints with mastic and tape before we finish, and we include that in the written quote so there is no surprise line item at the end.
Ductwork Cleaning in Garland
Ductwork Cleaning in Garland means more than running a brush down a supply line. On older brick ranch homes especially, the job is source removal: agitating embedded debris off the duct walls, pulling it out under negative pressure through a HEPA-filtered vacuum, and not just blowing it around the house. That distinction matters a lot in Garland, where decades of dust, pest droppings, and construction debris have hardened onto fiberglass duct interiors.
A standard whole-home cleaning in Garland runs $450 to $750 for supply and return systems combined. Larger homes or systems with severe buildup can run higher. We give you one flat price per system before the work starts, and that number does not move at the door.
Source Removal, Not Just Brushing
Brush-only cleaning on crusted, 50-year-old duct interiors leaves embedded debris behind. Our Rotobrush rotary brush system agitates the full interior surface while a Nikro negative-air machine pulls everything downstream into HEPA filtration. That is the same combination commercial crews use, sized for a Garland home’s system.
Full System Cleaning With Verification
After cleaning, we run the camera again and show you the before and after. You are not taking our word for it; you are looking at footage of your own ducts. That is part of The Garrison Standard, and it is the only way we would want a job done in our own homes.
Trusted Brands We Service in Garland
We work on the full range of duct systems found in Garland homes, regardless of brand or age. Our equipment list includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems, Nikro negative-air machines, and filtration from Honeywell and Aprilaire, so we can match the cleaning method to the duct type instead of forcing one approach on every house. Whether your system runs original metal trunk lines or newer flex, we have the tools sized for it. For older systems, we also stock common fittings and flex lengths in our service vehicles, which means fewer return trips and a faster finish when a run needs replacing.

AfterCommon Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Garland Homes
- Original 1970s gray flex duct that has collapsed internally. The outer jacket looks fine, but the inner liner has crushed flat from heat and age, so air never actually moves through the run. Cleaning it without repairing it is just exercise.
- Blown-in insulation inside return plenums. Unsealed joints on 50-year-old return plenums suck attic insulation straight into the system, which re-contaminates ducts within months if not addressed.
- Duct connections pulled loose at the slab. Garland’s expansive clay soil shifts with every wet-dry cycle, and that movement separates duct collars from the main trunk under the slab over decades.
- Bypassed or crushed runs in converted garage additions. Many Garland additions extended ductwork off the original system without proper sizing, leaving rooms with weak airflow no matter how clean the ducts are.

What Affects the Cost in Garland
Home size is the biggest factor, but housing age matters more in Garland than most cities because of the 1960s-1980s building stock. Severely degraded flex duct that needs section replacement, difficult attic access in low-pitch ranch roofs, and heavy pest debris all push the job scope upward. We show you the camera findings and the written price before we do any work, so you are deciding with facts, not guesswork.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Garland
Because so many Garland homes were built between 1960 and 1990, and the original flex duct was not designed to survive 50 years of attic heat. The inner liner crushes flat while the outer jacket looks fine, so a camera inspection is the only way to know. In Garland’s older neighborhoods like Camelot and Northlake, we find collapsed runs on a large share of first-time cleanings. If your ducts are original, call (361) 309-6223 and we will show you the footage before we do anything.
Unsealed joints on your return plenum act like a vacuum when the system runs. In Garland’s hot summers the system runs for hours a day, and that negative pressure pulls attic insulation fibers straight through the gaps. The fix is sealing those joints with mastic after source-removal cleaning, and it is part of what we quote on every older Garland system.
Yes, for homes with original flex duct it often is. If we find collapsed runs or detached slab connections during the camera inspection, we bring the repair scope into the quote and schedule accordingly. You get one written price for the full repair-and-clean job. There is no second surprise invoice.
Ask if they use source-removal equipment with true HEPA filtration, and whether they run a camera inspection before and after. Brush-only rigs will not pull embedded debris out of 50-year-old fiberglass duct interiors. Our crews roll with Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines, and the camera footage is yours to see.
It removes the accumulated pollen, dust, and pest debris that recirculates every time your AC runs, and Garland’s long hot season means your system runs a lot. If your ducts hold decades of that material, removing it can reduce the load of airborne irritants. Sealing return plenum joints keeps attic dust and insulation fibers from being pulled in afterward. For an exact quote on your system, call (361) 309-6223.
