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.

Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll schedule a live-trackable arrival window, hand you a written price before any work starts, and show you photos of your own duct when we’re done.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Miami Shores’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Miami Shores homes are not like the rest of Miami-Dade. A large share of the Village’s housing stock dates to the 1920s through 1940s, with masonry walls, original attached garages, and roof lines that were built long before modern dryer venting code. That means your dryer vent probably doesn’t exit through a clean sidewall like it would in a 1990s Kendall townhouse. It runs through a clay tile roof jack, or snakes through a utility room that was never designed for a powered vent. Our technicians know those runs. We’ve cleaned them from NE 2nd Avenue to NW 107th Street, from the historic district near Griffing Boulevard to the mid-century blocks around the Country Club.
We’re part of the Relay Home Co. family, founded in 2005, and we operate under one standard: The Relay Visibility Guarantee. You get a live trackable arrival time before we show up, before-and-after photo documentation of the work, and a digital invoice payable by link. No phone tag, no four-hour windows, no price that shifts once the van is parked. Omar Haddad leads our South FL operation, and every Miami Shores booking - like our HVAC Cleaning in Miami Shores - is backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work isn’t right within a year, we come back and make it right at no charge. No fine print, no exceptions.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Miami Shores
A Dryer Vent Cleaning service in Miami Shores is a full-system cleaning: camera inspection of the entire run, mechanical agitation to break up felted lint, HEPA filtration negative pressure extraction at the termination point, and before-and-after photos of your own duct. The work costs $140 to $260 for a single-run residential system in the Village, which includes the roof-jack access work that many companies quietly skip. Our technicians run Rotobrush agitation tools and Nikro HEPA vacuums, and they carry extension ladder setups that can safely reach clay tile roof terminations without walking on your tile.
We don’t quote by the elbow or by the linear foot. We quote one flat price per system before we start, and that number does not move. If the job requires roof access, we tell you before we quote. If it’s a simple sidewall run that takes 45 minutes, we don’t pad the bill to fill an hour. This is how honest Miami Shores duct work should be priced.
Full Run Camera Inspection
Before we clean, we send a camera through the entire vent run from the dryer connection to the termination. In Miami Shores, that often means pushing the scope 15 to 25 feet through a masonry chase and up to a roof jack. We look for tears in the duct, sections that have separated, and the felted lint plugs that form in humid, salt-air-exposed runs. You see the photos afterward.
HEPA Filtration at the Termination
This is the part most crews skip. We set up a HEPA-rated Nikro negative pressure unit at the exterior vent opening while we agitate from the interior. That means the loosened debris goes straight into the vacuum, not back into your utility room. For Miami Shores homes where the termination is a clay tile roof jack, this is the difference between a real cleaning and a surface skim.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Miami Shores
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Miami Shores covers multi-load facilities like the condo associations along NE 111th Street, small apartment buildings near the Barry University edge of the Village, and any property with shared laundry rooms running more than a few cycles a day. A commercial cleaning runs $425 to $900 per run and includes high-torque rotary agitation, camera documentation of the run before and after, and a written report for your maintenance records. In a Village with a lot of older rental stock and condo buildings from the 1950s and 60s, these runs often haven’t been touched since the unit was built.
Condo and Multifamily Common Laundry
Shared laundry rooms in Miami Shores condo buildings run machines all day, every day. Lint accumulates fast, and a blocked common-run vent is a fire and liability issue for the HOA. We provide per-run flat pricing and documentation that property managers can hand to their boards.
Small Commercial and Mixed-Use Dryers
If you run a small apartment building or mixed-use property along Biscayne Boulevard with coin-op or shared dryers, you need a vent cleaning at least twice a year. We schedule around tenant access and provide before-and-after photos for every run and a written report. One flat price per run, agreed before the work starts.
Trusted Brands We Service in Miami Shores
We work on dryer vent systems connected to every major dryer brand found in Miami Shores homes: Whirlpool, Maytag, LG, Samsung, GE, Speed Queen, and older models you still see in 1940s-era utility rooms, like vintage Kenmore units. Our technicians stock the common termination caps, bird guards, and transition ducts that fit Miami Shores’s specific vent setups, particularly the roof-jack configurations on older masonry homes. That means when we open the vent and find a corroded cap or a damaged transition hose, we usually have the replacement part on the truck. We also use Nikro and Abatement Technologies containment and filtration equipment to make sure the air stays clean while we work. No waiting on a part run across town, no second appointment to finish a job that should have been done the first time.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Miami Shores Homes
- Clay tile roof jack terminations packed with felted lint. Miami Shores’s older masonry homes often vent through the roof rather than a sidewall, and the humid, salty air turns loose lint into a dense felt that sticks to the inside of the run. Crews that won’t safely access the roof just never clean it.
- Long interior runs with hidden elbows. We’ve measured vent runs of 20 to 25 feet in Miami Shores utility rooms, often with two or three elbows behind walls. Lint builds at every bend, and a vacuum-only cleaning from the trap end leaves most of it in place.
- Missing or corroded vent caps. The salt air off Biscayne Bay eats through thin metal caps in a few years. A missing cap lets rain, humidity, and birds in, which accelerates lint clogging and invites pest nests.
- Quotes based on elbow count instead of the actual pathway. Some Miami-area companies quote a price that sounds fair, then add per-elbow or per-linear-foot charges once they see the run. In a Village with this many long, hidden runs, that bait-and-switch is common. We quote one flat price per system before we start.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Miami Shores, FL
A standard single-run residential dryer vent cleaning in Miami Shores costs $140 to $260, flat, per system. That price includes camera inspection, agitation, HEPA extraction at the termination, and before-and-after photos. If your run exits through a clay tile roof jack, the price may land at the higher end of that range because of the access work, and we’ll tell you that clearly before you agree to anything. Commercial multi-load or shared systems run $425 to $900 per run. We do not charge per vent, per elbow, or per linear foot. The price you’re quoted is the price on your invoice.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Miami Shores
Every 12 to 18 months for most Miami Shores households. If you run more than five dryer loads a week, have a long interior run, or your vent terminates through a clay tile roof jack, clean it every 12 months. The Village’s humidity and salt air cause lint to felt faster than in drier climates, which means a vent that was fine a year ago can be significantly restricted now. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll help you figure out the right schedule for your home.
Flat, always. One price per system, agreed in writing before we start. We don’t quote per vent, per elbow, per linear foot, or any other add-on. A standard single-run residential cleaning in Miami Shores runs $140 to $260, and that’s the number on your invoice. If roof access changes the price, we tell you before you approve anything. Call (737) 727-2314 for an exact quote on your house.
Yes, and we do it regularly. Our techs carry extension ladder setups that let them reach roof-jack terminations without walking on the clay tile. We agitate from the interior with rotary tools while running HEPA negative pressure at the exterior vent, so lint gets pulled out of the run instead of pushed back into your utility room. This is one of the most common vent types we see in the Village’s 1920s and 40s homes. Call (737) 727-2314 and mention your roof-jack setup when you book.
The lint trap catches maybe a quarter of what your dryer produces. The rest goes into the vent run, where Miami Shores’s humidity felts it into a dense, sticky layer that clings to the duct walls and packs into every elbow. We remove that felted lint, plus bird nests, construction debris, and the hardened plugs that form behind roof jacks. We use camera inspection before and after, and we show you the photos. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll schedule your inspection.
We don’t promise same-day service, because dryer vent cleaning is a scheduled job. What we do offer is a live trackable arrival window when you book, a real person answering the phone 24/7, and a written price before anything is touched. Most Miami Shores appointments are scheduled within a few days. Call (737) 727-2314 and our team will find you the soonest available slot that works.
Schedule Your Dryer Vent Cleaning in Miami Shores Today
If your dryer is taking longer than it used to, the exhaust smells humid, or the outside vent flap barely opens, it’s time to get the run cleaned. At a 1940s home off NE 2nd Avenue near the Miami Shores Country Club, our tech found a dryer on an interior wall with a 22-foot run terminating at a clay tile roof jack. The homeowner had cleaned the trap for years, but the lint pathway behind the roof jack was nearly packed solid. We used camera inspection to map the run, agitation tools to break up the felted lint, and a HEPA filtration negative pressure setup at the exterior vent so dislodged debris wasn’t blown back into the utility room. The blower motor amp draw dropped noticeably after the run was cleared to NADCA standards.
That’s what a real Miami Shores dryer vent cleaning looks like. One flat price per system, agreed before we start. Before-and-after photos of your own run. A 365-Day Done Right Promise that means if the work isn’t right within a year, we come back and fix it.
