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 West Miami
Air duct cleaning in West Miami typically runs $349 – $549 for a full single-system home, with most jobs completed in a single visit that takes about 3 to 5 hours. We work on the older ranch homes and small multi-family buildings that define this city, where galvanized trunk lines and early flex runs hold decades of dust, pet dander, and construction debris. Our crews know the low-clearance attic spaces and patched duct systems common off Coral Way and Bird Road. Call (737) 727-2314 for a written quote before any work starts.
Omar Haddad leads our West Miami team, and he’s the one who makes sure every job gets camera inspection and before-and-after photos, not just a quick blow-through. That matters here because this city’s ductwork is rarely original anymore. It’s been added onto, tapped into, and rerouted over six decades, and an honest cleaning has to account for that.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is West Miami’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
West Miami homeowners call us because we quote one flat price per system and we stick to it. No counting vents. No add-on charges once the van is in your driveway. The price you get in writing before we start is the price on the invoice. That’s the standard our West Miami customers have come to expect, and it’s how we’ve built a strong local reputation across the city’s 1.8 square miles.
Every technician arrives in uniform, background-checked, and carrying professional-grade equipment: Rotobrush rotary brush systems for agitation, Nikro HEPA vacuums for negative-pressure extraction, and Abatement Technologies containment units when the job calls for sealing off a work area. You’ll know your tech’s name before they knock. The Relay Standard booking means a live trackable arrival window on your phone, photo proof of the work when we’re done, and a digital invoice you can pay by link. We don’t make you wait around for a four-hour window and we don’t hand you a paper receipt at the door unless you want one.
Air Duct Repair in West Miami
Air Duct Repair in West Miami usually means patching or replacing sections of galvanized trunk line or early flex duct that have separated, crushed, or corroded in the crawlspace-level humidity and salt air that works its way inland from the nearby coast. On most ranches here, ducts run through a shallow attic cavity above a flat or low-pitch roof, so heat and moisture take a real toll on seams and tape. We inspect every repair with a camera before and after, and we quote the repair price in writing before we touch anything. Typical duct repair here runs $180 – $420 depending on access and the length of damaged run.
Sealing Leaky Trunk Lines
Older West Miami homes often have trunk lines assembled with sheet metal screws and cloth tape that dried out decades ago. When we reseal those, we use mastic and foil tape rated for HVAC temperatures, then run a negative-pressure test to confirm the leak is closed. That’s the kind of repair that actually shows up on your electric bill.
Replacing Crushed Flex Runs
Add-on bedrooms and converted carports in West Miami frequently have flex duct that got pinched between roof joists or kinked around framing. We cut out the damaged section, size the replacement properly, and camera-check the connection points. A repaired flex run should move air like the day it was installed.
Ductwork Cleaning in West Miami
Ductwork Cleaning in West Miami is not a quick vacuum pass. On the 1950s – 1970s housing stock that dominates this city, it means source removal under negative pressure: agitating debris off the duct walls with a Rotobrush, pulling it into a Nikro HEPA-filtered vacuum so nothing escapes back into your living room, and then camera-inspecting the full run including the air handler and blower motor. We do this on supply ducts, return ducts, and the plenum boxes that connect them. A full-system cleaning here runs $349 – $549 for a typical three-bedroom ranch.
Supply and Return Duct Cleaning
Your supply ducts push conditioned air into rooms; your return ducts pull it back to the air handler. Both need cleaning because debris doesn’t sit in just one direction. In West Miami, undersized returns from window-unit-to-central conversions mean the return side often works harder and collects more dust.
Full System Cleaning with Video Inspection
We include camera inspection with every full-system job. That means we look inside your ducts before we start, mark what we find, and show you the after photos once we’re done. If there’s a crack, a separated joint, or a rodent issue in the ductwork, you’ll see it in the images rather than hearing about it thirdhand.
Trusted Brands We Service in West Miami
We work on systems built around equipment from Aprilaire, Guardsman, Rotobrush, and Abatement Technologies, and we keep common replacement parts for those brands stocked for West Miami jobs. If your filtration or duct components need a specific part, our Air Duct Cleaning team can usually source it same-week through our South FL parts network rather than making you wait on a mail-order shipment. For older systems that predate modern brand consolidation, we carry universal-fit components that match original dimensions.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in West Miami Homes
- Patched add-on duct runs that no one ever cleaned. Homes in West Miami get bedrooms added, carports converted, and returns tapped off existing trunks. Those add-on runs are rarely sized correctly or sealed well, and they collect debris faster than the original runs.
- Undersized returns on converted window-unit homes. Many original West Miami homes cooled individual rooms with window units. When central air was added later, the return side was often an afterthought. An undersized return changes how negative pressure behaves during cleaning and during normal operation.
- Attic-space duct degradation from heat and humidity. Low-clearance attics over flat roofs bake in the South Florida sun. Duct tape dries out, flex duct gets brittle, and galvanized seams separate. That’s why we camera-inspect before we agitate anything.
- Debris from one-off renovation projects. West Miami homeowners do a lot of piecemeal remodeling. Drywall dust, tile adhesive, and insulation fibers end up in the duct system and stay there. A cleaning after a renovation is not an upsell; it’s removing construction debris from the air you breathe.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in West Miami
Most West Miami homes genuinely need duct cleaning every 3 to 5 years, not annually. The exceptions are after a renovation, after water intrusion in the duct system, after pest activity, or when you see visible debris at the registers. If none of those apply and your system is running fine, an annual cleaning is probably not necessary. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll tell you honestly whether you need the service or not.
Because per-vent pricing rewards counting openings, not doing source removal. West Miami’s patched, add-on duct systems need work on the trunk line and the low-clearance runs, not just a quick pass over each register. We quote one flat price per system so the incentive is to do the job correctly, not to inflate the vent count. The written price you get up front is the price you pay.
On a 1960s ranch or a converted multi-family building, a real cleaning means camera inspecting the full system first, agitating debris off the duct walls with Rotobrush tools under negative pressure from a Nikro HEPA vacuum, cleaning the supply and return trunks plus the plenum boxes, and then showing you before-and-after photos of your own ducts. It takes 3 to 5 hours and you see evidence of the work when it’s done.
We schedule West Miami jobs based on crew availability, not urgency. Duct cleaning is a scheduled service, and doing it well takes half a day. We can often schedule within the same week, and our live person on the phone will give you a real arrival window you can track. Call (737) 727-2314 to see what’s available.
Look at your registers: if you see dust buildup around the edges or visible debris inside, that’s a sign. If your home had a renovation in the last year, if you’ve had water intrusion anywhere near the HVAC system, or if you hear a rattling in the ductwork when the blower kicks on, you likely need service. If you’re not sure, call us and we’ll help you decide without pushing a service you don’t need.
