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 Ojus
Dryer vent cleaning in Ojus typically costs between $149 and $289 for a standard single-family home, based on run length, access, and how many elbows the vent path has. Most jobs take 45 to 90 minutes once our technician arrives, and every quote is a written flat price handed to you before any tool comes off the truck. If you live off Biscayne Boulevard, NE 186th Street, or anywhere near the Oleta River corridor, call us at (737) 727-2314 and we’ll walk you through exactly what to expect.
Ojus is a specific kind of place to clean dryer vents. The housing stock here skews toward 1950s and 60s ranch homes, and a lot of them share a design quirk that shapes how we work: the dryer sits on an interior wall, and the vent travels up through a low-slope roof rather than straight out the side of the house. That means longer runs, more bends, and more places for lint to pack in. Our team knows these homes before we ever open the door.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Ojus’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Ojus homeowners call us because we don’t treat their dryer vent like a five-minute vacuum job. We run a camera through the vent before we clean it, and we run it again after, so you see the before and after on your phone. That matters here more than in most cities, because the long low-slope roof runs common to Ojus ranch homes hide problems you can’t see from the exterior termination. A crushed transition behind the dryer, a sag in the middle of the run, a bird’s nest at the roof cap – the camera shows all of it.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and you’ll know the tech’s name before they ring your bell. We answer our phones with a live person around the clock, not a voicemail tree. And every job in Ojus carries 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-standing satisfaction window in the trade, and it applies to every booking, no exceptions.
Omar Haddad, who leads our team, built our Ojus service around a simple expectation: a written price before work starts, photo proof when it’s done, and a digital invoice you can pay from your phone. That’s the Relay Standard, and it’s part of the Relay Home Co. family, founded in 2005. You won’t get a coupon price that triples once the tech is in your laundry room.
Dryer Vent Installation in Ojus
Dryer Vent Installation in Ojus usually means replacing a run that was never sized right, never supported properly, or has rusted through at the roof cap. In the older ranch homes around NE 186th Street and the Oleta River side of town, we regularly find original 4-inch foil or plastic flex that’s sagging between joists, kinked behind the dryer, or crushed flat by a previous appliance install. A new installation gives you rigid metal or UL-listed semi-rigid duct, properly supported, with the fewest bends the structure allows. For a typical Ojus single-story home, a full replacement runs $220 to $410 depending on run length and roof access.
What installation in Ojus actually involves
Every install starts with an inspection of the existing run. We measure the full path from the dryer collar to the exterior termination, check for framing obstructions, and confirm the termination type: wall cap, soffit, or roof jack. In Ojus, roof discharges are common on the ranch homes, and we’ll tell you up front if roof access means a longer job or a second tech.
When a replacement beats another cleaning
If your vent is older than the home’s last major renovation, foil or plastic, or has more than two elbows it doesn’t need, a cleaning won’t fix the underlying restriction. We’ll show you camera footage of what we found and give you a written price to replace it. No pressure. If the existing run is cleanable, we say so, and we clean it.
Dryer Vent Repair in Ojus
Dryer Vent Repair in Ojus most often comes down to one overlooked part: the transition duct behind the dryer. That’s the short flexible connector between the dryer’s exhaust collar and the wall or floor inlet. In older Ojus ranch homes, this piece is frequently crushed, torn, or pulled loose because the dryer got shoved back against it over years. A crushed transition is the number one cause of long dry times and overheating we find in this city. Repairing or replacing it runs $75 to $140, and it’s included as part of a full vent cleaning when we find it during the job.
Repairing roof and wall terminations
Roof caps and wall dampers get brittle under South Florida sun and salt air. A rusted or stuck damper won’t open fully, which means moisture and heat back up into the run. We replace damaged terminations, install bird guards where starlings or sparrows have been nesting, and seal the exterior penetration so rain isn’t getting into your ceiling or wall cavity.
Rerouting a bad run
Some Ojus homes have vents that should never have been run the way they were. If the path elbows three times before it exits, we can sometimes reroute to a straighter termination on a side wall or soffit. Vent rerouting in Ojus starts around $260 and depends entirely on what’s between your laundry room and the outside. We’ll camera the run, show you the map, and price the reroute before any cutting happens.
Trusted Brands We Service in Ojus
We work on dryers from every major brand found in Ojus laundry rooms, including LG, Samsung, Whirlpool, Maytag, GE, Electrolux, and Speed Queen. Our trucks carry Guardsman dryer vent brush sets and Nickro HEPA-rated vacuum extraction units, and we stock common replacement parts locally so a vent cap, transition duct, or damper assembly doesn’t mean a second trip. If you have a newer heat-pump dryer, we handle those ventless setups too, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a vented or ventless configuration is better for your specific Ojus home. We also install and service Aprilaire filtration products where indoor air quality is part of the conversation.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Ojus Homes
- Low-slope roof runs with multiple elbows: Ojus ranch homes built in the 1950s and 60s often route dryer exhaust up through a low-pitch roof, adding bends that trap lint faster than a straight side-wall vent. A camera inspection before cleaning maps these turns so we can actually clean the full run, not just the first few feet.
- Crushed transition ducts behind the dryer: The flexible connector behind the dryer gets crushed when the appliance is pushed against the wall. We find this on nearly half the Ojus jobs where clothes take two cycles to dry. It’s a $75 to $140 fix, often done same-visit.
- Birds nesting at roof terminations: The warm exhaust from a roof-vented dryer is attractive to starlings and sparrows. We regularly pull nests out of roof caps near the Oleta River corridor, then install a bird guard so it doesn’t happen again the next season.
- Interior-only cleaning that misses the roof outlet: Some companies run a shop vac from the interior only and call it done. On the long Ojus roof runs, this pushes lint deeper into the low-slope section instead of removing it at the exterior termination. Real source removal means agitation plus negative pressure with HEPA filtration at the outside end.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Ojus, FL
Most standard Dryer Vent Cleaning jobs in Ojus run $149 to $289 for a single dryer and a typical vent run. That’s a flat price per system, agreed in writing before we start. We don’t quote per vent, and we don’t advertise a teaser price that becomes a bigger invoice once the camera shows what’s actually in your walls. Factors that affect the final number: total run length, number of elbows, roof access, and whether we find a transition duct or termination that needs replacing. If the camera shows a clean vent, you’ll know it. If it shows a problem, you’ll see the photo, and we’ll give you a written price to fix it before any extra work begins. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate, and we’ll be straight with you about what your Ojus home actually needs.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Ojus
We price per system, not per vent. A standard single-dryer cleaning in Ojus runs $149 to $289 as a flat written quote before we start. You’ll never see a per-vent add-on or a price that changes once the tech is inside your home. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll give you an exact number after a quick phone walkthrough of your setup.
For a typical Ojus home with a 20 to 30-foot vent run, once every 12 to 18 months is right. If you have a long low-slope roof run with multiple elbows, a large household doing five or more loads a week, or pets, you may need it every 9 to 12 months. Our camera inspection after cleaning tells you exactly how fast your specific run is accumulating lint, so we can recommend a real schedule, not a generic one.
Air duct cleaning treats the HVAC air-distribution system that heats and cools your home; dryer vent cleaning treats the dedicated exhaust duct that removes hot, damp, lint-laden air from your clothes dryer. They’re different systems with different tools. We do both, but this page is about your dryer vent, and a dryer vent cleaning in Ojus costs $149 to $289, not the $900+ some companies quote for a full air duct job.
