The mission of Duct Doctor of Baton Rouge is to provide indoor air quality to our commercial, industrial, marine, governmental and residential clients. Duct Doctor of Baton Rouge is the local leader in Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) duct cleaning, dryer vent cleaning, and mold remediation. Utilizing proprietary technology and proven processes, we are able to effectively serve clients throughout our entire Southeast Louisiana service area, including areas near Baton Rouge, New Orleans, and Covington. As a certified member of the National Air Duct Cleaners Association, we are bound to follow a strict and professional code of ethics while adhering to the highest standards of HVAC inspection, maintenance, and restoration.
The Duct Doctor of Baton Rouge franchise was established in 2016 with one truck and a single employee. By following the franchise model, tapping into years-long relationships, and networking, our workforce, fleet, and client-base has grown exponentially. After hurricane IDA ravaged the Lake Charles area, DDBR partnered with Dynamic Construction as the duct cleaner for a portion of the McNeese State University contract. This partnership led to a relationship with Johnson Controls, Inc. and the Lake Charles Memorial Hospital system. These contracts along with the continued established clients pushed DDBR to close out 2020 as the third highest commercial revenue franchise. As the growth and blessings continued, DDBR was recently awarded the prestigious honor of being the number one franchise in 2021 for commercial revenue and overall revenue for the entire Duct Doctor USA organization.
