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 Redmond
Air duct cleaning in Redmond costs between $450 and $850 for a typical single-family home with one furnace system.

We serve every Redmond neighborhood, from Education Hill to Grass Lawn Park to the Bear Creek corridor, and we bring professional-grade equipment, background-checked technicians, and before-and-after photos of your actual ducts on every job. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate and you’ll know the exact number before you hang up.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Redmond’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Redmond homeowners hire us because we tell them the truth about what their ducts need, even when the answer is “not yet.” Omar Haddad built Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning around a simple standard: a written price before work starts, a camera inspection so you can see what we see, and photographic proof of every duct we clean. No per-vent pricing games, no bait-and-switch, no four-hour arrival windows. You get a live trackable arrival time through The Relay Standard booking experience, and a technician whose name you know before they knock.
The 365-Day Done Right Promise backs 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 vent cleaning, air duct repair, supply and return duct work, and full system cleaning across Redmond. Our crews arrive in uniform, run Rotobrush agitation tools with Nikro HEPA-rated vacuum extraction, and never leave you guessing whether the job was actually done.
Redmond’s ductwork doesn’t all behave the same way, and we know where the problem spots are. Older 1960s and 1970s split-levels near downtown Redmond carry galvanized ducts with dead-end runs that trap years of dust. Newer construction in North Redmond and around Willows Road often has sealed flex ducts that need gentler tooling and camera verification rather than aggressive brushing. That local knowledge changes how long a job takes and what it should cost.
Vent Cleaning in Redmond
Vent cleaning in Redmond means removing the buildup from every register opening and the duct runs connected to them, not just wiping down the visible grilles. When we clean vents in a Redmond home, we run rotary agitation tools through the supply side to break debris loose, then pull it out under negative pressure into a HEPA-filtered vacuum so it never re-enters your living space.
A vent-only cleaning rarely solves the underlying problem. Dust that collects on your registers comes from the ducts behind them. That is why we price vent cleaning as part of a full system price, not per vent. You know the number before we begin, and you see photos of the registers and the duct interiors after we finish.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts carry conditioned air from your furnace or heat pump into every room. In Redmond homes with forced-air gas heat, these runs collect dust, pet hair, and construction debris from any remodeling work. We clean the full supply trunk and branch runs, not just the first few feet.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the furnace to be reheated or cooled. These are the ducts that gather lint, dust, and the fine particulate you can smell when the system kicks on. In older Redmond homes with floor returns, we typically find more contamination here than anywhere else. We clean return runs completely, because leaving them untouched makes the whole job pointless.
Air Duct Repair in Redmond
Air duct repair in Redmond addresses leaks, disconnected runs, crushed flex, and failing joints that waste conditioned air and pull dust from crawlspaces or attics. In a city where homes range from 1960s ramblers to recently built townhomes, the failure modes vary. Old galvanized duct can separate at the seams. Flex duct can be crushed by storage boxes or chewed by rodents in the attic. Both problems are visible with a camera inspection and both are fixable.
We provide a written guarantee on every repair, plus a free second visit if the repair fails within the warranty period. That’s part of the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and it applies to every Redmond repair job, no exceptions. The written price comes before work starts, and it does not change at the door.
Sealing and Reconnecting Runs
Loose or disconnected duct joints leak conditioned air into walls, attics, and crawlspaces. We locate the problem with a camera, seal the joints with mastic or aluminum tape rated for HVAC use, and reattach separated runs so your system actually delivers air where it is supposed to go.
Replacing Crushed or Damaged Flex Duct
Crushed flex runs restrict airflow and force your furnace to work harder. We replace damaged sections rather than patching them, and we photograph the new run installed. You see exactly what was done and what it cost before and after.
Trusted Brands We Service in Redmond
Redmond homes carry a wide range of HVAC equipment, and we service ductwork connected to all of it. We clean and maintain systems tied to Aprilaire filtration units, Guardsman components, and every major furnace and heat pump brand installed in King County. Because we carry professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush and Nikro on every truck, we’re equipped for the full range of duct types found across Redmond, from rigid galvanized steel to flexible insulated runs. When repair parts are needed, we stock the fast-moving items locally and source the rest from Seattle-area suppliers to keep turnaround short.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Redmond Homes
- Decades of buildup in 1960s and 1970s homes near Grass Lawn Park and Education Hill. Galvanized ducts with dead-end runs trap dust that simply never exits the system. A camera inspection shows the layers before we start.
- Crushed flex duct in newer Redmond subdivisions around Willows Road and North Redmond. Builders sometimes leave flex runs unsupported, and attic storage or foot traffic flattens them. This restricts airflow and pulls dust from unconditioned spaces.
- Return ducts filled with lint and pet hair. Because returns pull air from your living space, they collect everything floating in it. Floor returns in Redmond’s older homes are particularly susceptible.
- Disconnected runs that pull air from crawlspaces or garages. We have seen separated duct joints that effectively vacuum dust and car exhaust into the living space. A camera finds it within minutes.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Redmond
Every 3 to 5 years is a realistic interval for most Redmond homes, but it depends on the housing stock and your habits. Homes from the 1960s through 1980s with galvanized ducts and dead-end runs accumulate dust faster, especially if you have pets or carpets. Newer homes with sealed flex duct and good filtration may go longer. If you had a remodel with drywall dust, get the ducts cleaned after the work is done regardless of the calendar. We will tell you plainly if your ducts don’t need cleaning yet. Call (737) 727-2314 for an honest assessment.
We clean the entire system: supply ducts, return ducts, the air handler, and the registers. A vent-only cleaning leaves the ducts themselves untouched, which is why we price by the system, not by the vent. You get a flat price for the whole job before we start, and the before-and-after photos show the supply and return runs, not just the grilles.
Yes. Every job includes before-and-after photographs of your own ducts, taken with a camera during the inspection and after the cleaning. This is part of The Relay Standard booking experience and it is not optional. If you cannot see the difference in the photos, we have not done the job properly, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise means we come back and make it right at no charge.
Yes. Older galvanized ductwork from the 1960s and 1970s handles professional cleaning well because it is rigid. The key is using the right agitation tools and negative-pressure extraction rather than aggressive scrubbing that could knock joints loose. We inspect with a camera first and you see the condition of your ducts before and after. Redmond’s older homes near Grass Lawn Park and along Avondale Road have exactly this type of ductwork, and we work on it regularly.
No. Same-day or emergency duct cleaning promises are usually a sign of rushed work with no camera inspection and no documentation. A proper duct cleaning in Redmond is scheduled, takes several hours, and includes a camera inspection, full system agitation, HEPA vacuum extraction, and before-and-after photos. We schedule efficiently and confirm a live trackable arrival window through The Relay Standard, but we will not sacrifice the quality of the job to hit a same-day deadline. Call (737) 727-2314 to schedule and get your written price.
