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 Hitchcock
If you’re in Hitchcock and wondering what a straight answer on duct cleaning looks like, here it is: most homes in Hitchcock pay between $350 and $600 for a full system cleaning, and the work typically takes half a day. We’re Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Relay Home Co. family founded in 2005, and we serve Hitchcock with a written price before any work starts. Our crews know the coastal air here, and we know what it does to ductwork. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate.
Hitchcock sits right on the Gulf Coast, and that changes how we approach every job. You’re not just dealing with dust. You’re dealing with humidity, salt air, and an air handler that runs nearly year-round. That’s why we run a camera inspection before quoting anything, and why we show you before-and-after photos of your own ducts when the work is done. You should never have to guess what’s inside your system.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Hitchcock’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’re held to The Relay Visibility Guarantee, which means every Hitchcock customer gets a live trackable arrival time, before-and-after photo documentation, and a digital invoice payable from a link. No four-hour arrival windows. No vague estimates. You know the technician’s name before they knock, and they arrive in uniform carrying professional-grade equipment, not a shop vac.
Omar Haddad leads our operations, and he built the team around a simple idea: total visibility from booking to invoice. That’s why we carry Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro HEPA vacuums instead of truck-mounted shortcuts. The tools matter, especially in Hitchcock where coastal grit settles deep into return runs.
Our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every job without exception. If the work isn’t right within a full year, we return and correct it at no charge. That’s the longest satisfaction window in the trade, and it applies to every Hitchcock booking. A live person answers our phones 24/7, so you’re never stuck in a voicemail loop when you call (737) 727-2314.
Air Duct Inspection in Hitchcock
Air Duct Inspection in Hitchcock is where every honest job starts, because you deserve to know whether your ducts actually need cleaning before you pay for it. We run a camera through your supply and return runs, including the blower motor and air handler compartment, and show you the footage on the spot. A typical inspection in Hitchcock runs $49 to $99, and it’s credited toward the cleaning if you move forward.
What the Camera Actually Shows
We’ve inspected systems in Hitchcock where the return side was packed with lint and grit that had been pulling past a sagging filter. We’ve also inspected ducts that were barely dirty and told the homeowner to save their money. That’s the point of the inspection: no guesswork, no unnecessary work.
When Hitchcock Homeowners Should Inspect
If you’ve noticed a musty smell when the AC kicks on, visible dust around your supply registers, or family members with allergies that worsen indoors, schedule an inspection. The coastal humidity in Hitchcock accelerates the kind of buildup that you can’t see from the outside. A camera is the only way to know for sure.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Hitchcock
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Hitchcock means a full system job, not a surface-level register vacuum. We clean the supply ducts, return ducts, blower motor, air handler compartment, and each register opening using negative-pressure extraction, which means the loosened debris goes straight into the HEPA vacuum instead of back into your living room. Most Hitchcock homes run $350 to $600 for the complete job.
One Flat Price Per System
We quote one flat price for your entire duct system before any work begins, and that price does not change at the door. You’ll never see a per-vent charge from us. Once we open the return run and see what’s actually inside, the price stays where we set it. That’s the Relay Standard, and it applies to every Hitchcock home we clean.
What You Get After the Job
When the cleaning is done, you get before-and-after photos of your own supply and return ducts, so you can see exactly what was removed and what the result looks like. You also get a written guarantee on every repair. If anything fails within 365 days, we come back and make it right at no charge.
Trusted Brands We Service in Hitchcock
We work on systems of every make and model, and you’ll see us carrying Rotobrush, Nikro, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies equipment on Hitchcock jobs. We keep the common replacement parts and filter sizes in stock for Hitchcock customers, so if your Aprilaire filter housing or register grille needs replacing during the job, we typically have the part on the truck. That means fewer second visits and a faster turnaround for homeowners in Hitchcock.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Hitchcock Homes
- Humidity-driven buildup: The Gulf Coast air keeps ducts damp, so dust and grit stick to the interior walls instead of blowing through. This creates a paste-like layer that a simple vacuum pass won’t remove.
- Per-vent pricing games: We regularly hear from Hitchcock homeowners who got a low quote on the phone, then watched the bill creep up once the return run was opened. Flat per-system pricing fixes that problem before it starts.
- Skipped air handler compartments: Some contractors only vacuum the visible registers and never touch the blower motor or air handler, which is where the real debris accumulates. We clean the entire path, not just the outlets.
- No camera inspection: If a company quotes you without looking inside the ducts, you have no idea whether the system is genuinely loaded or barely dirty. We run a camera on every inspection before recommending any work.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Hitchcock
Most Hitchcock homes need a full cleaning every 4 to 6 years, though coastal humidity and pets can cut that to 3 years. The honest answer is that not every home needs it on a fixed schedule. A camera inspection tells you whether your ducts are loaded or not, and if they’re not, we’ll tell you to wait. Call (737) 727-2314 to schedule an inspection and get a straight answer.
We charge one flat price per system, agreed in writing before any work begins. There is no per-vent pricing on any Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning job in Hitchcock or anywhere else. The price you see is the price you pay, whether the return run is clean or packed with grit.
We run a camera inspection first, then clean the supply and return ducts, blower motor, and air handler compartment using rotary brush agitation and negative-pressure extraction with HEPA filtration. That means loosened debris goes straight into the vacuum, not into your living room. You get before-and-after photos of your own ducts when we’re done, plus a written guarantee on every repair.
We can’t promise same-day service in Hitchcock, because duct cleaning is a scheduled job that takes planning and the right equipment. What we can promise is that a live person answers when you call (737) 727-2314, and you’ll get a clear arrival window you can track. Book the time that works for you, and we’ll be there when we say we will.
Not necessarily. A dirty filter means the filter is doing its job catching particulate, but it doesn’t tell you what’s built up inside the return run or the air handler. The only way to know for sure is a camera inspection. If your filter is dirty and you’re smelling must in the air, call us for an inspection and we’ll show you what’s actually inside.
