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.

AfterAir Duct Cleaning Company in Palmetto Bay, FL
Air duct cleaning in Palmetto Bay runs $425 – $575 for a typical 2,000 – 2,500 sq ft single-family home, and the job usually takes 3 – 5 hours from start to finish. Palmetto Bay’s housing stock skews newer than most of Miami-Dade, but the salt air, year-round AC use, and post-construction dust from ongoing renovations in neighborhoods like Old Cutler Estates and Palmetto Pines keep our crews busy across the village. If you’re weighing the cost or wondering what actually gets cleaned, call us at (737) 727-2314 and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Why Palmetto Bay Homes Are Different
Palmetto Bay sits between Biscayne Bay and Old Cutler Road, and that geography shapes how we clean ducts here. Homes are mostly single-family ranchers and two-story builds from the 1980s through the early 2000s, with larger lots than you’d find in Kendall or Cutler Bay. That means longer duct runs from a central air handler, often in a garage closet or attic, to far bedrooms on the opposite side of the house. Long runs collect more dust per linear foot, so a standard cleaning in Palmetto Bay takes longer than the same square footage in a condo.
The coastal humidity is the other factor. Moisture from the bay creeps into ductwork, especially in homes where the AC runs 10 – 11 months a year. Dust that would stay dry and loose in a drier climate turns into a film that clings to duct walls. We use Rotobrush rotary brush systems to break that film loose, then negative-pressure extraction pulls it straight into a Nikro HEPA vacuum rather than back into your living room. Village code requires HVAC work to be done by state-licensed contractors, and we carry the licensing and insurance to work anywhere in Palmetto Bay without a problem.
Our Main Palmetto Bay Services
Most Palmetto Bay homeowners call us for one of three jobs: clearing clogged dryer vents, deep-cleaning the ductwork behind their AC system, and full HVAC component cleaning. Each has its own page with pricing and specifics – here’s the short version.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Palmetto Bay
Palmetto Bay’s larger lots often mean longer dryer vent runs, and longer runs collect lint faster. We clean the full run from the dryer connection to the exterior vent cap, removing the built-up lint that restricts airflow and creates a fire hazard. Homes along Old Cutler Road and in the newer villages of Palmetto Bay tend to have roof-vented dryers, which take a bit more labor but the flat price per system is the same. You’ll get before-and-after photos of the vent interior so you can see the difference. Get details on Dryer Vent Cleaning in Palmetto Bay.
Air Duct Cleaning in Palmetto Bay
This is the full system: every supply and return duct from the air handler to each register. We run a Rotobrush rotary brush through the ductwork to agitate the dust film that Palmetto Bay’s humidity creates, then extract it with negative-pressure vacuums so nothing escapes into the home. In two-story homes around Palmetto Pines, we clean both levels as part of the same job at the same flat price. You’ll see your own ducts in before-and-after photos before we leave. Full scope and pricing on the Air Duct Cleaning in Palmetto Bay page.
HVAC Cleaning in Palmetto Bay
Ducts are only half the system. The coils, blower motor, drain pan, and plenum box collect their own layer of grime, and in Palmetto Bay’s humid air, that grime breeds mold on the coil surface. We clean evaporator and condenser coils, the blower assembly, and the drain line, then treat the coil with an antimicrobial product. For homes along Biscayne Bay where salt corrodes aluminum fins faster, this service pays for itself in efficiency and coil life. Read about it on the HVAC Cleaning in Palmetto Bay page.
