Fast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Alpharetta
Air duct cleaning in Alpharetta, GA typically costs between $350 and $650 for a full single-family home system, and most jobs are completed in 3 to 6 hours. The price you pay should be written down before the crew arrives, not estimated over the phone and then adjusted once the blower is pulled. Homeowners in Alpharetta call us most often for two things: new-construction dust that never got cleaned out at handover, and older systems in windward-side neighborhoods that have spent a decade collecting pollen and kitchen grease. We know these houses because we work in them every week.
Hollis Air Duct Alpharetta serves the full city, from Windward and Crabapple down to downtown Alpharetta near Haynes Bridge Road, and out toward the 30004 and 30022 zip codes. We schedule by written quote, show up inside the window, and back the work with the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. Call (762) 769-7145 for a free estimate and we’ll give you a flat price before any tool comes off the truck.
Why Hollis Air Duct Alpharetta Is Alpharetta’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Alpharetta homeowners tend to have high expectations for indoor air quality. A lot of them have already bought the Honeywell air cleaner, the Aprilaire filter, the variable-speed system. What they haven’t done is look inside the ducts those systems rely on. That’s where we come in. Our Air Duct Cleaning team runs the same professional-grade equipment on a 2,800-square-foot Milton-style colonial that we run on a 6,000-square-foot Windward estate. Nikro negative-air machines, Rotobrush rotary brush systems, HEPA filtration. The method doesn’t change because the house is bigger. The standard stays the same.
Technicians are background-checked and uniformed, so you know who’s walking through your door on Doublegate or Kimball Bridge Road before they ring the bell. Calls are answered by a live person around the clock, no voicemail loops. And because Garrison Partners has been in this trade since 2004, the operation is squared away: written price before work starts, job done by the book, site left clean. That’s The Garrison Code, and it’s how every Hollis location operates.
Roy Castellanos leads the Alpharetta team. He’s built the crew around one principle: the work should be explainable in plain English. If you want to know what a negative-air machine does, we’ll tell you. If you want to see before-and-after photos of your own registers, we’ll hand you the camera footage. No jargon as a smokescreen.
Styles & brands we work with




HVAC Duct Cleaning in Alpharetta
HVAC Duct Cleaning in Alpharetta means source removal: physically separating dust, drywall debris, and pollen from the interior walls of your supply and return ductwork, then pulling it out of the house under negative pressure rather than blowing it around. A full system clean in Alpharetta runs $350 to $650 for most single-family homes, and the price is written before work starts. If your home has multiple HVAC zones, which most large Alpharetta homes do, that affects the quote because there are simply more runs to clean.
Newer Alpharetta homes, particularly those built from the late 1990s through the 2010s, often have flexible ductwork. Flex duct has a spiral interior liner that traps dust differently than rigid metal. It also kinks. We check for collapsed or sagging runs as part of every job because a kinked flex run in a finished basement will quietly choke airflow for years before anyone notices.
Supply and Return Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts push conditioned air into rooms. Return ducts pull air back to the blower and filter. Both need cleaning in Alpharetta’s climate, but for different reasons. Supply ducts collect construction dust and pollen that got past the filter. Return ducts, especially in Alpharetta homes with returns near kitchens, collect grease-laden air that coats the duct walls with a sticky film nothing you own can remove.
We clean both runs separately. The supply side gets rotary brush agitation under negative pressure. The return side gets the same process with extra attention to the boots and grilles where film builds first. Full System Cleaning includes all supply runs, all return runs, the trunk lines, the plenum, and the blower compartment.
Vent Cleaning in Alpharetta
Vent Cleaning in Alpharetta means cleaning every register boot, grille, and visible vent opening in the home, plus the first few feet of duct behind it. In Alpharetta’s housing stock, register boots are often sheet-metal boxes set into drywall or wood floors. They collect the same dust the ducts do, but they’re visible, so homeowners notice them first. A vent-only cleaning runs $150 to $300 depending on the number of registers, but we usually recommend including vent cleaning as part of a full system job because the boots are where much of the visible dust settles.
In newer Alpharetta construction, we regularly find paint overspray, drywall sanding dust, and even sawdust inside register boots from the original build. Builders’ cleanup crews often vacuum the visible vent opening and call it done. The boot itself, behind the grille, stays lined with construction debris. That’s what you’re breathing for the first year in your new house until someone actually looks.
Video Inspection Before and After
Every Alpharetta job includes before-and-after video inspection. We run a camera through the main trunk line and representative supply and return runs before we start, and again after we finish. You see what was in there, and you see what’s left. That’s the proof. No one has to take our word for it.
The after footage is kept on file with your job record. If anything comes up within the 365-Day Done Right Promise window, we compare against the original images. It’s a simple accountability system, and it prevents a lot of arguments before they start.

AfterCommon Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Alpharetta Homes
These four issues come up constantly in Alpharetta. If any of them sound familiar, the ducts probably need a look.
- Construction dust in newly built homes. Builders’ cleanup crews “blow and go” – they vacuum the register openings but leave drywall dust packed into flex-duct runs behind finished ceilings. In a Windward home, our camera inspection showed drywall dust and construction debris still lining the supply and return ducts months after handover. We used Rotobrush agitation tools under negative pressure with HEPA filtration to remove the builder’s leftover debris, then verified clear airflow at every register.
- Grease film from kitchen-return placement. Homes in Windward and other master-planned Alpharetta communities often place return vents near kitchens. That means cooking grease gets pulled into the return side of the system every time the HVAC runs. The result is a sticky film on the duct walls that captures and holds dust, pollen, and dander. Our return duct cleaning specifically addresses this condition, which is more common in Alpharetta than in neighboring towns like Roswell or Milton.
- Collapsed flex duct in 2000s-era homes. Homes built in the 2000s with original flexible ductwork are now 15 to 25 years old. Flex duct degrades, sags, and kinks. In finished basements, a collapsed run is hidden behind drywall and goes unnoticed until airflow to a room quietly dies. We find and flag these during video inspection.
- High pollen load from Alpharetta’s long allergy seasons. Alpharetta’s humid subtropical climate means long pollen seasons with pine and oak counts that coat everything outdoors. That same pollen enters through vents and settles in the duct system. Combined with summer humidity, it creates conditions where dust and allergens accumulate quickly. We recommend cleaning on a 3 to 5 year cycle for most Alpharetta homes, and more often if pets or allergies are in the picture.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Alpharetta, GA
A whole-home air duct cleaning in Alpharetta typically runs $350 to $650 for a single-system home. Larger homes with multiple HVAC zones run $500 to $900. Vent-only cleaning runs $150 to $300. Those are the ranges. The written quote depends on the number of systems, the total register count, and the condition of the ductwork. If a previous job left heavy construction debris, that’s accounted for in the quote before we start, not after.
The quote is a flat price per system. It doesn’t change when the technician is in your home.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Alpharetta
Because most Alpharetta builders don’t seal return openings during drywall sanding, and their cleanup crews only vacuum the visible register openings. The duct runs behind finished ceilings stay packed with drywall dust and construction debris from the build. You need a cleaning at move-in to remove that debris before it reaches the blower motor and circulates through every room. Call (762) 769-7145 for a free estimate with a written price.
Homes in Windward and other master-planned Alpharetta communities often have return vents located near kitchens, which pulls cooking grease into the return duct system. Roswell homes generally have returns placed in hallways and central living areas, away from cooking zones. That grease film in Windward ducts captures more dust and needs source removal more frequently. We clean the return side as its own job, not as an afterthought.
Yes. Fine drywall dust coating the blower motor and caking onto the coil reduces airflow and forces the system to run longer to hit the thermostat setting. It also drops the performance of whatever MERV-rated filter you’re using, because the filter spends its life fighting dust that should never have been in the system. A move-in cleaning removes that load before it shortens the life of your equipment. We can give you an exact quote over the phone.
At minimum, the builder should have sealed all return openings during drywall sanding, vacuumed out the entire duct system with real negative-air equipment before the final walkthrough, and replaced the filter after all construction was complete. In practice, most don’t. The cleanup is left to the homeowner. We handle it from the first inspection to the final video pass.
Yes. When a basement is finished, the flex-duct runs above the ceiling are sealed behind drywall. Any kink, collapse, or separation in those runs stays hidden until airflow to a room dies. Our video inspection adds specific focus to finished-basement duct runs in 2000s-era Alpharetta homes. It’s one of the most common hidden issues we find and fix.
