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 Dryer Vent Cleaning Across Kendall West
Dryer vent cleaning in Kendall West typically costs $149 to $249 for a full system cleaning, depending on run length and roof access. We know the homes here. The 1980s and 1990s floor plans around Kendale Lakes, West Kendall, and Country Walk hide long interior vent runs that a basic lint-trap check will never reveal. Our crews work Kendall West neighborhoods weekly, and you’ll get a live arrival window you can track from your phone. Call (737) 727-2314 for a written quote before any work starts.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Kendall West’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Kendall West homeowners call us because we price the whole vent system as one job, not per vent. That distinction matters more here than almost anywhere else in Miami-Dade. Most houses in this area have one long dryer exhaust run hidden behind drywall, and per-vent pricing is how some crews turn a $149 cleaning into a $600 invoice once the van is in the driveway. We hand you a written price for the entire system before a single tool comes off the truck.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and you’ll know your tech’s name before the door opens. They carry Rotobrush rotary cleaning systems and Nikro HEPA vacuums, not a shop-vac and a prayer. Kendall West jobs get the same 365-Day Done Right Promise as every Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning visit anywhere in the Relay Home Co. family: if the work isn’t right within 365 days, we return and correct it at no charge. No fine print. No exceptions.
Response time to Kendall West is straightforward to state: we schedule exact arrival windows, not four-hour blocks. Kendall West sits inside our regular South Florida service rotation, so you’re not waiting on a crew driving down from another county. Calls are answered by a live person, 24/7. No voicemail loops.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Kendall West
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Kendall West means one thing most of these homes need: source removal from roof-terminated runs that carry lint through 20 to 30 feet of duct with multiple elbows before exhausting through a barrel-tile roof cap. We don’t just vacuum the first few feet and call it done. The whole run gets agitated with rotary brushes, extracted under negative pressure, and confirmed clear with a camera inspection to the terminus.
What We Actually Do
We disconnect the dryer, run a Rotobrush through the entire duct from the laundry room to the roof cap, and pull everything into a Nikro HEPA vacuum. Negative-pressure extraction means the loosened debris goes straight into the vacuum, not back into your laundry room. Then we inspect the cap from the roof side because a barrel-tile terminus traps lint and nesting material in ways a side-wall vent never does.
How You’ll Know It Worked
Before-and-after photos are standard on every Kendall West job. You’ll see your own vent, not a stock image. If the camera shows a remaining obstruction or a damaged section, we show you that too and quote a repair at the same written-price standard before touching it.
Dryer Vent Installation in Kendall West
Dryer Vent Installation in Kendall West usually means one of two things: replacing a crushed or disconnected section of flex hose behind the dryer, or re-running a vent that was never installed properly to begin with. Many 1980s and 1990s builds here used foil flex hose with sharp bends that collect lint at every elbow, and some runs we open up are kinked so badly the air can’t move. A new rigid metal run changes that.
Rerouting Interior Runs
When a vent snakes through three walls and a ceiling before it reaches the roof, the answer is sometimes a shorter, straighter path to a side wall. We’ll camera the existing run first, show you exactly where the problem is, and price the reroute as one flat system, not by the foot. That means you know the full number before we start cutting drywall.
Bird Guards and Roof Caps
Roof-terminated vents in Kendall West attract birds, and a barrel-tile cap without a guard is an open door. We stock Guardsman bird guards and vent caps sized for these tile roof penetrations, so installation doesn’t turn into a two-week parts wait. The guard goes on after the run is cleared and the cap is replaced if it’s rusted or cracked.
Trusted Brands We Service in Kendall West
We work on Kenmore, Whirlpool, Maytag, LG, Samsung, GE, and Speed Queen dryers, and we service whatever vent configuration sits behind them. Because our Kendall West crews stock common Guardsman caps, guards, and rigid duct sections on the truck, most installations and repairs finish the same day we arrive. We don’t sell you a brand. We clean and repair the system you already have, and we recommend parts by what fits your roof termination, not what’s easiest to carry.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Kendall West Homes
- The lint trap looks clean, but the run is packed. Interior laundry rooms in 1980s and 1990s Kendall West homes hide 20 to 30 feet of duct beyond the trap. Felted lint builds in the middle and at the roof cap, and the dryer still runs, so nobody knows until the cycle time doubles or the thermal fuse trips.
- Roof-terminated vents never get inspected from the roof. A crew that only works from the laundry room will miss a bird’s nest or packed cap at the barrel-tile terminus. We camera every run to the exit point and inspect the cap from above.
- Crushed flex hose behind the dryer. Dryers get pushed back, the foil hose kinks, and airflow drops by half. This is a five-minute fix we catch during a standard cleaning, and we’ll show you the photo.
- Per-vent pricing on a single-run system. Kendall West homes usually have one long vent run, not multiple runs. Crews that price per vent are padding the bill. We quote one flat price for the entire system before we start.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Kendall West, FL
A typical dryer vent cleaning in Kendall West runs $149 to $249 for a single-family home. That covers the full run from the laundry room to the roof cap, camera inspection, and before-and-after photos sent to your phone. Roof access on a two-story home or a run longer than 30 feet pushes toward the top of that range. Vent rerouting or replacement in Kendall West runs $275 to $550 depending on the new run length and whether we’re cutting drywall or working with existing chases. Bird guard installation runs $75 to $150. You get one written price per system before work begins, and that number does not change at the door. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Kendall West
Every 12 to 18 months for most Kendall West homes. The long interior runs and roof terminations common in this area’s 1980s and 1990s housing stock trap more lint than shorter side-wall vents, and the humid season sticks lint together into felted clumps faster than you’d expect. If your dryer takes more than one full cycle to dry towels, you’re probably due. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll camera the run to see exactly where you stand.
One flat price per system, agreed in writing before work starts. We never charge per vent in Kendall West because most homes here have a single long run, not multiple vents. The number we quote is the number you pay. Call (737) 727-2314 for a written estimate.
Yes. You get before-and-after photos of your own vent run, taken during the camera inspection, delivered to your phone before we leave. If the after photo doesn’t show a clear run to the terminus, the job isn’t done, and we keep working until it is. That’s the standard, not an upsell.
Yes, and most Kendall West homes we service have exactly that setup. We clean from the laundry room and inspect the cap from the roof side, because barrel-tile terminations hold debris and nests that never show up from inside. Roof access is part of the quoted price, not a surprise add-on.
We schedule an exact arrival window, but we don’t promise same-day dispatch. Kendall West jobs are usually scheduled within a few days, and you’ll get a live trackable arrival time with your booking. Call (737) 727-2314 and the person who answers can confirm the next open window.
