Fast, Reliable Duct Sealing Across Alpharetta
Duct sealing in Alpharetta typically runs $450 – $1,150 for a full single-system home, with larger two-zone houses in Windward or Crabapple running $900 – $1,900 depending on how much of the ductwork needs mastic and tape work. Most jobs are completed in a single day, and the price is written down before we touch anything. If you’re noticing dusty supply registers, upstairs rooms that never cool like the main floor, or a musty smell when the AC kicks on in July, call us at (762) 769-7145. We serve Alpharetta from our Atlanta dispatch office with local crews who know these neighborhoods.
Alpharetta’s housing stock is a big reason this work matters. Most homes here were built between the 1990s and 2010s, meaning the original flexible ductwork is now 15 to 35 years old. Builder-grade flex duct was never meant to last forever. Connections loosen at the takeoffs, tape dries and peels, and humid attic air starts moving through gaps that should be sealed tight. The result is air you paid to condition leaking into the attic while insulation dust and attic air get pulled into the supply side. That’s the problem we fix. This is our Duct Sealing specialty, and we do it by the book.
Why Hollis Air Duct Alpharetta Is Alpharetta’s Preferred Duct Sealing Company
We run on The Garrison Code. That means technicians arrive inside the quoted window, background-checked and in uniform, with a written price before any work starts. No exceptions. The price does not move at the door. Every job is covered by the 365-Day Done Right Promise, which is a written guarantee that if the work fails within a year, we return and make it right at no charge – including a free second visit. That’s not a marketing phrase. It’s the standard Roy Castellanos holds every Alpharetta job to.
Alpharetta homeowners have been burned by crews that show up late, quote one number on the phone, then inflate the invoice once the van is parked outside. We compete against that by being the most disciplined crew in the trade. Our equipment is professional-grade: Rotobrush rotary brush systems, Nikro negative-air machines, and filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies. These are the tools commercial crews use, explained in plain English on every job so you understand exactly what’s being done to the air moving through your home.
When you call (762) 769-7145, a live person answers. Day or night. Seven days a week. You’ll never sit through a voicemail queue or wait for a callback on Monday. That matters when you’ve got a leaky return duct pulling attic air into your finished basement in the middle of August.

Duct Repair in Alpharetta
Duct Repair in Alpharetta means fixing what’s broken in the system: reconnecting flex duct that has pulled loose at takeoffs, replacing crushed or collapsed runs, and sealing holes that have opened in supply or return plenums. In homes built in the 1990s through 2000s across Alpharetta, builder-grade flex duct loosens at the takeoffs over time, allowing attic air and loose insulation to enter the supply side. A typical duct repair in Alpharetta runs $225 – $650 depending on how many runs need work and whether access requires attic or crawlspace entry.
Reconnecting Loose Takeoffs
The most common repair in Alpharetta attics is reconnecting flex duct that has pulled away from the metal takeoff collar. When this happens, the blower is pushing conditioned air into the attic instead of your bedrooms. We pull the duct back onto the collar, seal the connection with mastic and UL-listed tape, and test airflow at the register to confirm the fix.
Repairing Crushed or Blocked Runs
In finished-basement homes and houses with crowded attic trusses, flex duct gets crushed by stored boxes, insulation, or poor original installation. A crushed run can cut airflow to a room by half. We replace the damaged section and reroute it so it stays clear, then verify static pressure at the air handler before we leave.
Air Duct Sealing in Alpharetta
Air Duct Sealing in Alpharetta is the systematic process of closing every leak in your supply and return ductwork so the air you pay to heat and cool actually reaches the rooms it’s meant for. The job involves camera inspection to find gaps, then sealing seams, takeoffs, and joints with mastic sealant and UL-listed tape where needed. A full-system seal in a typical 3,500 – 4,500 sq ft Alpharetta home runs $800 – $1,600. Homes with two zones or extensive attic duct runs fall on the higher side.
Mastic Sealing at Seams and Takeoffs
Mastic is a thick, brush-on sealant that hardens into a durable, flexible seal. We apply it at every seam, collar, and takeoff in the system. Unlike tape alone, mastic doesn’t dry out and peel with attic heat cycling. It’s the same material commercial HVAC crews use, and it’s the standard we follow on every Alpharetta job.
Return-Side Sealing
Return ducts are under negative pressure, which means every gap pulls attic air, dust, and humidity into your HVAC system. In Alpharetta’s humid subtropical summers, that moisture can condense inside the return plenum and support microbial growth on duct liners. Sealing the return side is just as important as the supply side. We camera-inspect the full return path before sealing so nothing gets missed.

AfterCommon Duct Sealing Problems We See in Alpharetta Homes
- Builder-grade flex duct loosening at takeoffs. Homes built in the 1990s and 2000s across Alpharetta were often fitted with the cheapest flex duct available. Over 15 to 30 years, the connections at metal collars loosen and conditioned air leaks into the attic. This is the single most common problem we find in homes along Windward Parkway and throughout the Crabapple area.
- Leaky return ducts near kitchens pulling grease vapor. In master-planned communities like Windward, many homes have return ducts placed near kitchens. Grease-laden air gets pulled into the return side, coats duct interiors, and accelerates sealant degradation. This is a localized Alpharetta problem we see far more often here than in Roswell or Milton.
- Construction debris left in ducts from original build. New and newer Alpharetta homes frequently have drywall dust, sawdust, and even scraps of flex duct left in the system from construction. Builders rarely clean ducts at handover. That debris gets trapped in the system and blows into living spaces for months, sometimes years, after move-in.
- Summer condensation rotting unsealed seams. Alpharetta’s humid summers push moist air into attics. Unsealed duct seams soak up that moisture, insulation inside the duct liner breaks down, and airflow drops. Finished basements and upstairs bedrooms suffer most because they depend on the longest duct runs in the house.
Pricing for Duct Sealing in Alpharetta, GA
A full duct sealing job in Alpharetta runs $800 – $1,600 for a typical single-system home between 2,500 and 4,500 square feet. Smaller townhomes or condos run $450 – $750. Homes with two zones, extensive attic runs, or severe separation at multiple takeoffs can run up to $1,900. What affects the price? Access (attic, crawlspace, or finished basement), the number of leaks found during camera inspection, and whether any duct sections need replacement rather than resealing. Every quote is written down before work starts, and the price does not move. Call (762) 769-7145 for a free estimate.

FAQs About Duct Sealing in Alpharetta
New construction leaves drywall dust, sawdust, and flex-duct scraps inside the system, and builder-grade connections are rarely sealed with mastic at handover. Within the first year, those loose takeoffs begin leaking, and construction debris blows through registers. Many Alpharetta homeowners notice dusty supply vents and uneven cooling within months of move-in. We see it regularly in homes built after 2015 across Alpharetta, and the fix is a full system seal after a proper cleaning. Call (762) 769-7145 to schedule a camera inspection and see what’s actually inside your ducts.
Windward’s layout puts many return ducts near kitchens, which means grease vapor gets pulled into the return side and coats duct interiors. That accelerates sealant failure and creates conditions where dust and grime bond to the liner, reducing airflow and odor control. Homes in Roswell and Milton have far fewer kitchen-proximate returns, so Windward homes need sealing work more frequently. Our crews know this pattern and inspect for grease-coated returns specifically when working in Windward and other master-planned Alpharetta communities. Call (762) 769-7145 and ask for a return-side camera inspection.
We verify every sealing job with a camera inspection of the sealed connections, a static pressure reading at the air handler, and a blower motor amp draw test to confirm airflow is within the equipment’s rated range. NADCA standards require that ductwork be cleaned and sealed so air moves efficiently and without contamination. We don’t just say we met those standards; we put the test results in your job file. If you’re in Alpharetta and want documentation, we’ll walk you through the numbers before we leave. Call (762) 769-7145 and ask about our verification process.
Yes, sealing ducts can reduce the amount of pine pollen, attic dust, and insulation fibers entering your supply air during Alpharetta’s long pollen season. Leaky return ducts pull attic air – which is loaded with fine particles and pollen – directly into your HVAC system, bypassing the filter. Sealing those returns stops that. Pairing a seal with a proper negative-air cleaning is the most effective combination for allergy relief in Alpharetta homes. Call (762) 769-7145 to discuss your system and get a written quote.
A full duct system seal in a 4,000 sq ft Alpharetta home typically runs $1,000 – $1,800, depending on the number of zones, attic access, and how many takeoffs have separated. Homes with finished basements and long attic runs trend toward the higher end. The price includes camera inspection, mastic sealing at every seam and takeoff, UL-listed tape where needed, and verification testing at the air handler. Every quote is in writing before work starts.
