Call Hollis Air Duct Alpharetta at (762) 769-7145 and we’ll give you a written price before any work starts.
We know Alpharetta homes. Not the way a distant call center knows them, but the way a crew that has crawled through finished basements in Windward and pulled lint from two-story vent runs off Kimball Bridge Road knows them. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team works across Alpharetta with the same standard on every job: the price is written down before we touch the vent, the technician is background-checked and uniformed, and the work is covered by the 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Why Hollis Air Duct Alpharetta Is Alpharetta’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Alpharetta homeowners tend to ask harder questions than most. You’ve lived in places where a tech showed up late, looked around, and suddenly the bid doubled. That doesn’t work here, and it has never been how we operate. Hollis Air Duct Alpharetta runs on The Garrison Standard: arrive inside the quoted window, price in writing before the job starts, do the work by the book, and leave the site cleaner than we found it.
Since 2004, Hollis Air Duct Cleaning has been part of the Garrison Partners family. Our Alpharetta crews are independently owned and operated under that same standard, which is why the reviews from Alpharetta customers consistently mention the same three things: the price didn’t move, the tech wore a uniform and introduced himself, and the dryer actually dried clothes faster afterward. Our phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, seven days a week. When you call about dryer vent cleaning in Alpharetta, you’ll talk to a person, not a voicemail tree.
Operator Roy Castellanos runs the Alpharetta operation the way a good foreman runs a jobsite: written expectations, clear communication, and no shortcuts. That’s what makes Dryer Vent Cleaning in Alpharetta different when you call us.
Styles & brands we work with
Dryer Vent Repair in Alpharetta
Dryer vent repair in Alpharetta often means fixing what a builder left behind. In newer Alpharetta communities, vents are frequently routed through finished basements and interior wall cavities, which means a damaged or kinked section of flex duct might be hidden behind drywall. The first sign is usually a dryer that runs hot but won’t dry, or a burning smell near the laundry room.
Hidden Damage in Two-Story Vents
In Alpharetta, many two-story homes have dryer vents that run 20 to 30 feet with multiple bends. Each bend is a place where lint piles up and where flexible duct can sag or kink. We routinely find vents in Alpharetta homes where the original builder used foil flex duct with turns tighter than the material can handle. A kinked duct reduces airflow immediately. Replacing that damaged run with rigid or semi-rigid metal duct typically runs $175 to $350, depending on access and length.
Vent Repair Before a Lint Fire
The danger is not theoretical. Lint is flammable. A restricted vent makes the dryer overheat, and the lint inside the vent becomes kindling. If you live in Alpharetta and your dryer vent has never been inspected, or if the exterior flap doesn’t open fully when the dryer runs, call us at (762) 769-7145. We’ll assess the vent, show you what we find, and give you a written repair price before we start.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company in Alpharetta
As a dryer vent cleaning company serving Alpharetta, we spend more time fixing builder mistakes and pollen-clogged vents than anything else. A standard dryer vent cleaning in Alpharetta runs $149 to $279 for a single-family home. That price includes a full cleaning from the dryer connection to the exterior termination, plus a before-and-after airflow check.
Source Removal, Not Just Brushing
We use Rotobrush rotary brush systems paired with negative-air machines from Nikro. The brush loosens the lint; the negative air pulls it out of your home instead of pushing it into the laundry room. That matters in Alpharetta, where a big share of the housing stock has interior laundry rooms with no exterior wall access. The last thing you want is a crew blowing lint into your finished basement.
Camera Inspection Included
Every dryer vent cleaning includes a camera inspection. You’ll see the vent before we clean it and after. If we find damage, a kinked section, or a bird nest at the termination, we document it and give you a repair price. No vague warnings, no pressure. Just what the camera shows.
Trusted Brands We Service in Alpharetta
Most Alpharetta homes with new laundry rooms have dryer equipment from the brands you’d expect, and our crews service all of them. We also stock the filtration and airflow products we trust: Honeywell and Aprilaire for air quality, Abatement Technologies and Guardsman for filtration. That matters because after a vent is cleaned, a dirty filter or a failing airflow component will bring the problem back. We use professional-grade equipment, not hardware-store gear, and we explain what each tool does in plain terms before using it in your home.

AfterCommon Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Alpharetta Homes
- Builder debris in the vent at handover. Drywall dust, sawdust, and even scrap pieces of flex duct get left in dryer vents during construction. We’ve pulled construction debris from brand-new Alpharetta homes that had been occupied less than a year.
- Pollen-lint cement. Alpharetta’s long pine and oak pollen seasons put a sticky resin into the air. Mixed with dryer lint, it forms a dense, stubborn layer that a standard brush alone won’t remove. Our rotary brush and negative-air combination breaks it down and pulls it out.
- Finished-basement moisture clogs. When a dryer vent runs through a humid finished basement, condensation builds inside the duct. That moisture mixes with lint to form a paste that hardens as it dries. In Alpharetta’s humid summers, this happens faster than most homeowners realize.
- Kitchen-adjacent returns pulling grease. Homes in Windward and similar master-planned Alpharetta communities often have returns placed near kitchens. Grease-laden air gets pulled into the HVAC system, and in homes where the dryer vent terminates near a kitchen intake, the same film coats the dryer duct. Standard cleaning alone doesn’t address grease film without the right equipment.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Alpharetta
Within the first year, and ideally before you run the dryer more than a few times. Builders in Alpharetta’s newer communities frequently leave drywall dust, sawdust, and flex duct scraps inside dryer vents at handover. That debris restricts airflow from day one. A cleaning right after move-in gives you a clean baseline and a camera record of the vent’s condition.
No, Alpharetta building codes do not require a post-construction dryer vent cleaning. That’s the problem. Builders are not obligated to clean the vents they leave behind, and most don’t. The responsibility falls on the homeowner. We recommend every new Alpharetta homeowner have the dryer vent inspected and cleaned within the first six months of occupancy.
Windward homes often have dryer vents routed through finished basements or multi-story wall cavities with multiple bends. Every bend collects lint. Combined with the humid conditions in finished basements, lint clogs form faster and harder than in single-story homes with short, straight vent runs. Homeowners in Windward should schedule cleaning every 12 months at minimum.
Yes. Alpharetta has a long pine and oak pollen season, and that pollen gets pulled into dryer vents through the exterior termination and through household air. Mixed with dryer lint, pollen creates a sticky residue that hardens into a cement-like layer. Standard brushing without negative air won’t remove it. If you notice longer dry times every spring, pollen-lint buildup is likely part of the cause.
The builder should have routed the vent with rigid or semi-rigid metal duct, kept the run as short and straight as possible, sealed all joints with foil tape not screws, and delivered the home with a clean vent free of construction debris. In our experience across Alpharetta, most builders fall short on at least two of those four. If yours cut corners, a cleaning and inspection now prevents a lint fire or a dryer replacement later. Call (762) 769-7145 and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in your vent.
We pulled a clogged lint pathway from a two-story Windward home where the dryer vent ran through a finished basement ceiling. Using a Rotobrush system with camera inspection, we found a solid three-foot plug of compacted lint and a kinked section of flexible duct. After replacing the damaged run and performing source removal with negative pressure, airflow at the exterior termination improved by over 40%. That’s the kind of fix Alpharetta homes need, and it’s the kind we do every week.
