Hollis Air Duct Alpharetta serves Doraville with crews who know the difference between a 1968 split-level off Winters Chapel Road and a 1985 condo attic off Buford Highway. That matters when you are deciding whether the problem is pollen loading, rust bloom, or a flex run that rodents got to. We show up uniformed, background-checked, and with the equipment to handle all three. The price is written before work begins, and every job carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Why Hollis Air Duct Alpharetta Is Doraville’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Doraville homeowners call us because we treat original galvanized steel ductwork as the norm, not an exception. Homes built in the 1950s-70s along streets like Shallowford Road and Winters Chapel Road frequently have ducts that were installed when Jimmy Carter was governor. Those systems collect decades of pollen, rust, and loose insulation in ways a newer flex-duct house never will. Our techs have seen it enough to price it honestly and clean it by the book.
The Garrison Standard governs how we work in Doraville and everywhere else Hollis operates. That means we arrive inside the quoted window, write the price before we touch anything, finish the job, and leave the site clean. Roy Castellanos leads our team with the expectation that no customer has to guess what the invoice will say. We answer the phone with a live person, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No voicemail loop, no callback queue. When you call about Air Duct Cleaning, you get a straight answer about scheduling, pricing, and what the job will involve.
We’re not the cheapest bid in Doraville, and we don’t try to be. We’re the bid with a written price, a written guarantee, and a free second visit if the work fails within a year. That’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and it’s backed in writing on every job. Neighbors off Buford Highway and Chestnut Drive have called us after a low-priced outfit left half the dust in the return trunk. We fix that.
Styles & brands we work with




Air Duct Inspection in Doraville
Air Duct Inspection in Doraville is the first step when you suspect you are breathing more than you paid for. We send a camera into the supply and return trunks, the plenum, and the branch runs to see exactly what’s in there before a single brush spins. In homes near Buford Highway, the inspection often shows a thick coat of gray-green pollen and fine construction dust on the return side. In older ranches, the camera reveals rust bloom at the plenum and separated joints that have been leaking conditioned air into the attic for years.
Camera Walk-Through Before the Quote
We run a video inspection before we hand you a price. You see the inside of your ducts on our screen, and we walk you through what the footage shows. No other service method tells the truth so clearly.
What We Check in the Return Plenum
In Doraville’s 1950s-70s homes, the return plenum is often the dirtiest part of the system. We check for rust scale, collapsed insulation, and dust buildup that a filter alone cannot stop. That inspection informs whether cleaning is enough or whether you also need sealing or section replacement.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Doraville
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Doraville means removing the pollen, dander, rust particles, and construction dust that have layered inside your ductwork for decades. We use a Rotobrush rotary brush system to agitate debris off the duct walls while a Nikro negative-air machine pulls the loosened material into a HEPA-filtered collection chamber. That combination is the difference between cleaning and just stirring dust up. In homes near Buford Highway, the supply side loads up to 40% faster than homes a mile east, so we pay extra attention to the highway-facing registers.
Full System Cleaning, Not Just the Trunk
We clean the supply ducts, return ducts, blower motor, registers, and the interior of the air handler cabinet. If the blower wheel is coated, the system will keep recirculating debris no matter how clean the ducts are. We brush it clean as part of the job.
Mastic Sealing After the Brush
When our camera inspection shows leaks at the joints or plenum seams, we seal them with HVAC-grade mastic after cleaning. That cuts the dust re-entry and improves static pressure in older Doraville systems, which often run with mismatched filters that already choke airflow.
Trusted Brands We Service in Doraville
Our trucks carry professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush and Nikro, plus filtration products from Honeywell and Aprilaire. That means we do not rent gear from a hardware store and we do not bring a shop vac to a 1968 air handler. The Rotobrush agitation whip reaches into branch runs that a thin vacuum hose cannot. The Nikro negative-air machine is what commercial crews use to keep dust from blowing back into your living room. For Doraville customers, we stock common replacement parts locally through our metro Atlanta dispatch, so if we find a cracked flex run or a collapsed section during cleaning, we can often replace it on the same visit instead of scheduling a follow-up.

AfterCommon Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Doraville Homes
- Buford Highway pollen and construction dust. Supply registers on the highway side of the house load up faster than the rest of the system. We see gray pine pollen caked on the vanes and inside the first few feet of the supply trunk.
- Rust bloom in original galvanized ducts. Decades of humid Southern air condensing inside uninsulated metal ducts causes rust scale at the plenum. That rust breaks loose and circulates as fine red-brown dust in the airstream.
- Collapsed flex ducts in 1980s condo attics. Off Buford Highway, poor initial installation and rodent damage have left 6-inch flex runs crushed or chewed open, with fiberglass falling into the airflow. We replace the bad run, not just clean around it.
- Mismatched MERV filters choking airflow. Homeowners in older Doraville systems install a high-MERV filter to catch pollen, but the added resistance causes moisture to condense on duct walls and the coil. That creates the musty smell they were trying to eliminate.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Doraville, GA
A straightforward residential duct cleaning in Doraville runs $350 to $650 for a single system, which includes the blower motor and registers. A larger two-system house or a home with severe flex-duct damage runs $650 to $950. If we find a collapsed flex run or a section of rust-eaten metal trunk that needs replacement, that is quoted separately and in writing before any repair work starts. Commercial duct cleaning in Doraville starts around $700 and is priced by square footage and duct length. We do not do per-vent pricing and we do not quote a teaser price that balloons once the van is in your driveway. The number we write down is the number you pay.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Doraville
Every 3 to 5 years is the honest interval for most Doraville ranch homes, and every 2 to 3 years if you live within a quarter mile of Buford Highway. The commercial traffic keeps a constant supply of fine dust airborne, and the original galvanized ducts in those homes are less forgiving than modern flex. Call (762) 769-7145 and we’ll help you set the right schedule for your specific block.
Yes it does. Your return ducts pull air from the rooms, which pull outdoor air through window gaps, door seals, and the fresh-air intake. Homes on the highway side of Doraville show visibly faster loading on supply registers. We measure this with video inspection and we clean accordingly. Call (762) 769-7145 to schedule an inspection and see for yourself what’s inside.
Most original metal ducts can be cleaned thoroughly with rotary brushing and negative-air extraction. Replacement is only needed when we find rust that has eaten through the metal or joints that have separated beyond sealing. Our camera inspection tells us which situation you have before we touch anything. Call (762) 769-7145 to get a straight answer on your specific duct run.
The smell comes from condensation on the evaporator coil and the inside of uninsulated metal ducts during Doraville’s humid summer nights. That moisture feeds mold and mildew on accumulated dust. The fix is to clean the coil, blower motor, and ducts, then address the airflow choking that is making the condensation worse in older systems. Call (762) 769-7145 and we’ll tell you exactly what’s growing in there.
Yes, if the source is inside the ducts. When the blower motor, return trunk, and supply registers are packed with accumulated debris, the system reintroduces dust every time it runs. Cleaning removes that reservoir. If the dust is coming from a leaky return drawing attic air, we’ll find it during inspection and seal it. Call (762) 769-7145 for a free estimate and we’ll trace the source.
