Whole-system duct and dryer vent check with before-and-after photos - you see exactly what came out of your vents
That "$99 whole-house special" is a bait ad - the real number appears once they are in your hallway, or the "clean" is a shop-vac at the register. We photograph the inside of your ducts before and after instead.

Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Kendall’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Kendall homeowners tend to research before they book, and they can spot a bait-and-switch quote from a mile away. That’s why our process starts with a written price per system, not per vent. We’re part of the Relay Home Co. family, founded in 2005, and every job is held to The Relay Visibility Guarantee: a live trackable arrival window, before-and-after photos of your own ducts, and a digital invoice you can pay from your phone.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and show up with commercial-grade equipment: Nikro HEPA vacuums for negative-pressure extraction and Rotobrush agitation systems that scrub the full interior of supply and return runs. Omar Haddad leads our Kendall crews, and he makes sure the same standard applies whether we’re cleaning one townhouse near Kendall Gate or a full commercial build-out near Dadeland Mall.
We answer calls with a live person, 24/7. No voicemail loops, no callbacks on Tuesday. You’ll know the tech’s name before they open your door.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Kendall
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Kendall looks different depending on the age of your home, and no two systems are the same. A 1979 concrete-block house off Sunset Drive may have original galvanized trunk lines, while a 2004 subdivision near Three Lakes might run flexible R-6 ducts that need a gentler approach. We camera-inspect first, then set negative pressure and agitate source-side so debris doesn’t resettle in your living room.
Most single-family homes in Kendall run $350 – $550 for a full-system residential cleaning. That includes supply ducts, return ducts, the air handler, and the blower compartment. We don’t charge per vent, and the price is written down before any work begins.
Full System Cleaning
This is our standard residential job. We cover every supply and return run, the trunk line, the plenum, and the air handler. We run the Nikro HEPA unit throughout so loosened dust, drywall particles, and pet dander go into the vacuum, not back into your airflow.
Video Inspection
Before we clean, we run a camera through your ducts. You’ll see what we see. After the job, we photograph the same runs so you can compare. Most Kendall homeowners tell us they were surprised how much construction dust was sitting in ducts they’d never opened.
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Kendall
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Kendall covers medical suites near Baptist Hospital, retail storefronts along Kendall Drive, and restaurants in the Town & Country area. These systems collect grease haze, paper dust, and high foot-traffic particulate that residential units rarely see. We run full source removal with containment where the space demands it, and we schedule around your operating hours so we’re not stepping over customers.
Commercial pricing in Kendall usually runs $800 – $2,200 depending on the square footage, number of rooftop units, and duct network complexity. We deliver a per-system written quote before anything is scheduled, and every commercial job includes photo documentation for your records.
Supply and Return Duct Cleaning
On larger commercial systems, the supply and return sides collect different kinds of debris. Supply runs carry whatever the blower pushes; return runs pull in whatever the space produces. We address both separately, using negative-pressure extraction at every register and return opening.
Containment for Occupied Spaces
When a clinic in Kendall needs its air ducts cleaned while patients are next door, we use Abatement Technologies containment units to keep displaced particulate from entering adjacent rooms. That’s the difference between a real commercial cleaning and a crew that just vacuums the visible openings.
Trusted Brands We Service in Kendall
Our Kendall crews work on systems built around Honeywell filtration components, Aprilaire media cabinets, and Nikro vacuum-rated tools. We don’t push a single brand’s filter line; we match what your system already uses and confirm it after the cleaning. For older Kendall homes that still run original galvanized ducting, we recommend and install Aprilaire or Honeywell media filters sized to your air handler, not a one-size-fits-all cut. If you’re near West Kendall and your blower is stuffed with construction dust from a prior remodel, a media filter upgrade after cleaning is usually the difference between fresh air now and clogged coils again in six months. We carry filters locally so there’s no week-long wait for a part. Air Duct Cleaning work is specialized, and using the right-grade filtration after a cleaning keeps the result holding.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Kendall Homes
- Construction dust from remodels and rebuilds. Kendall has seen decades of teardown and rebuild activity, and drywall dust settles deep into trunk lines. It doesn’t blow out on its own; it cakes onto the duct walls and cuts airflow.
- Galvanized rust and flaking in 1970s – 80s homes. The original metal ducts in neighborhoods like Continental Park and Kendall Lakes are now 40 to 50 years old. We regularly see rust scale inside supply runs that needs mechanical agitation, not just vacuuming.
- Flex duct tears in newer subdivisions. In 2000s-era developments around The Hammocks and Country Walk, R-6 flex runs get pinched, torn, or disconnected. A camera inspection finds these before they become a full airflow failure.
- Rodent debris near the Tamiami Executive Airport corridor. The open land and canal systems around the airport attract rodents that find their way into attics and duct runs. We’ve pulled nesting material and droppings from supply ducts more often than any homeowner wants to hear about.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Kendall, FL
What you’ll actually pay in Kendall depends mostly on home size and duct condition, not on promotional games. A standard single-family home runs $350 – $550. Larger two-story homes or systems with multiple air handlers can push toward $700. Commercial spaces run $800 – $2,200. If your ducts haven’t been cleaned in a decade and the blower is packed, that’s a heavier job, but the price is still written per system before we start. No per-vent multiplying, no last-minute add-ons, no surprise line items. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate with an exact range for your Kendall property.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Kendall
Most Kendall homes need air duct cleaning every 3 to 5 years, but that number shifts based on what’s happening inside the house. Homes that went through a remodel, have multiple pets, or sit near Tamiami Airport’s open-air corridor can need it sooner. Older concrete-block homes with original galvanized ducts tend to accumulate rust and dust faster than newer flex-run homes. The honest answer: if you can’t see your duct interior and the last cleaning was before you moved in, it’s time for a camera inspection. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll tell you whether cleaning is actually worth it.
One flat price per system, written down before any work starts. We don’t quote a low number and then multiply by the number of vents once the tech is inside your home. The price you sign is the price you pay, and it covers the full supply and return network, the air handler, and the blower compartment. That’s the Cardinal standard for every job in Kendall.
Yes, and we do it on every Kendall job without being asked. Our techs run a camera through your ducts before cleaning and photograph the same runs after. You get those images in your digital invoice, so you can see exactly what was removed and what the interior looks like when we’re finished. No other duct cleaner in Kendall offers that by default, and we think it’s the only honest way to prove the work.
We don’t promise same-day air duct cleaning, because a real cleaning takes planning. A proper duct cleaning in Kendall includes a camera inspection, system setup, negative-pressure extraction, and before-and-after photo documentation. That’s a half-day job, not a two-hour drive-by. We schedule Kendall appointments within the same week in most cases, and we always give you a precise arrival window you can track from your phone.
Yes, and most Kendall homeowners don’t realize it until we show them. Once your ducts are clean, the filter is the only thing standing between fresh air and new dust. In Kendall’s humid climate, a MERV 8 filter catches basic dust but lets finer particles through. A MERV 11 or MERV 13 media filter from Aprilaire or Honeywell keeps the system cleaner longer, especially if you have allergies or live near construction. We match the filter to your air handler’s static pressure rating, not just the highest number on the shelf.
