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.

AfterFast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Progress Village
Air duct cleaning in Progress Village typically runs $450 – $750 for a full single-system home, and most jobs take 3 – 5 hours from setup to final walkthrough.

We’re Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Relay Home Co. family founded in 2005, and we serve Progress Village with one flat per-system price agreed in writing before any equipment comes off the truck. Omar Haddad leads our team, and we answer our phones around the clock at (737) 727-2314. You’ll know exactly who’s coming, what they’re doing, and what it costs.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Progress Village’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Progress Village homeowners keep calling us back because we do something most duct cleaners won’t: we show you the proof. Before we touch a register, we run a camera through your ducts so you can see the buildup with your own eyes. After the job, we hand you before-and-after photos of your own system, not a stock image from a brochure. That transparency isn’t a marketing gimmick. It’s the only way to know the work was actually done.
Our techs are background-checked and arrive in uniform, and you’ll get the tech’s name before they knock on your door. Every booking comes with The Relay Standard: a live trackable arrival time, written price before work starts, and a digital invoice you can pay from your phone. No vague four-hour windows. No price adjustments at the door. Just a crew that respects your time.
We also back every job with the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work isn’t right within a full year, we return and correct it at no charge. That’s the longest satisfaction window in the trade, and it applies to every single booking, no exceptions. Call (737) 727-2314 and ask for Omar’s team.
Ductwork Cleaning in Progress Village
Ductwork cleaning in Progress Village means removing the buildup that’s been accumulating inside your supply and return lines, your trunk line, and especially the return plenum where the heaviest debris settles. In this neighborhood, that debris is usually a dense mix of fine concrete dust from the original slab construction and yard soil tracked into the return side over decades. We use Rotobrush agitation tools to break the material loose and a Nikro HEPA-rated vacuum running negative-pressure extraction, which means loosened debris goes straight into the filter, not back into your living room.
Supply and Return Duct Cleaning
Most Progress Village ranches run a single long trunk line with short branch runs to each register. That layout means the supply side pulls less debris than the return side, but both need attention. We clean both, and we don’t charge per vent. One flat price covers the full system.
Source Removal at the Return Plenum
Here’s what sets us apart locally: we don’t just vacuum registers and call it done. We cut a small access at the return plenum and remove the source material sitting right where the air enters the handler. Skip this step, and you’re paying to vacuum the wrong end of the system.
Air Duct Inspection in Progress Village
Air duct inspection in Progress Village starts with a camera pushed through your returns and trunk line, and it’s the smartest first step for any older home here. Because the ducts in these 1950s and 60s ranches sit in slab chases beneath original terrazzo and tile, you can’t see what’s inside without a visual inspection. A camera tells us whether the issue is dust accumulation, a loose joint pulling soil from the chase, or something that doesn’t require cleaning at all.
Before-and-After Photo Verification
Every inspection includes photo documentation of what we find. You’ll see the before shots when we’re done, side by side with the after shots. That’s how you know the cleaning actually happened, and it’s included in every job we do in Progress Village.
When Cleaning Isn’t Needed
Sometimes the honest answer is that your ducts don’t need service yet. If the camera shows light dust and no source buildup, we’ll tell you to save your money and check again next year. We’d rather earn your trust than push a service you don’t need.
Trusted Brands We Service in Progress Village
We work with the filtration and air-quality systems already installed in Progress Village homes, including Aprilaire media filters, Honeywell electronic air cleaners, and Guardsman cabinet filters. Our crews stock common replacement sizes for these brands on the truck, which means we can often swap a clogged filter during the same visit. We also run Nikro HEPA extraction units and Abatement Technologies containment equipment on every job, so the fine slab dust that characterizes Progress Village ductwork never ends up blown back into your house. Call (737) 727-2314 if you’re not sure which filter your system takes.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Progress Village Homes
- Return-side dust from slab chases. The ducts under these mid-century homes pull fine concrete dust and yard soil into the return plenum, not the heavy pet hair you’d see in nearby Riverview. That means the return side needs more attention here than the supply side.
- Long single-trunk layouts that invite per-vent pricing games. A typical Progress Village ranch has one long trunk with short branch runs. Some companies quote a low per-vent price over the phone, then “discover” extra supplies and returns once they see the layout. Our flat per-system price is written before we unload anything.
- Neglected blower motor compartments. When only registers get vacuumed, the heaviest source material stays right at the return plenum feeding the air handler. We remove that source load as part of every full-system cleaning.
- Runaway shop-vac jobs with no negative pressure. Spinning a brush with no HEPA filtration or containment just aerosolizes the fine dust and pushes it into the living space. We run Nikro HEPA extraction and Abatement Technologies containment on every Progress Village job.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Progress Village
Every 3 – 5 years for most Progress Village homes, and only if the camera inspection shows actual source buildup at the return plenum. Homes near Progress Village Park or off Progress Boulevard with heavy foot traffic and original slab chases tend toward the shorter end. If the ducts show light dust only, we’ll tell you to wait. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll inspect first, then recommend honestly.
We charge one flat price per system, never per vent. A typical Progress Village ranch is $450 – $750 for the full system, regardless of how many supplies and returns it has. That price is written down and agreed before any equipment comes off the truck.
Yes. We run a camera through your returns and trunk line before we start, and we show you the footage. After the job, you get before-and-after photos of your own ducts. If they weren’t dirty, you’ll see that too, and we’ll tell you to save your money.
These mid-century ranches were built with slab-on-grade duct chases under terrazzo and tile floors, so the debris is fine concrete dust and yard soil on the return side, not the heavy pet hair you’d expect elsewhere. That means source removal at the return plenum and camera inspection matter more than aggressive wall-register scrubbing. We adjust the process accordingly.
We don’t promise same-day service. Duct cleaning takes 3 – 5 hours and is scheduled, not dispatched like an emergency call. But we answer the phone 24/7 and we’ll get you the earliest available slot in Progress Village. Call (737) 727-2314 and ask what’s open this week.
