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 Westwood Lakes
Air duct cleaning in Westwood Lakes typically runs $450 – $850 for a full single-system home, and most jobs are finished in half a day. Westwood Lakes sits in a low-lying pocket of west Miami-Dade where nearly every home runs a year-round cooling cycle, so return-side ductwork rarely gets a seasonal break the way it does in cooler inland cities. That constant runtime means Westwood Lakes ducts accumulate a finer, more even film of dust on the return side rather than the heavier seasonal crust you’d find a few cities north. If your vents are blowing dust onto furniture or you can see buildup around the return grille, call (737) 727-2314 for a written quote before any work starts.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Westwood Lakes’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning is part of the Relay Home Co. family, founded 2005, and every Westwood Lakes job runs on one rule: total visibility from booking to invoice. You get a live trackable arrival time, background-checked uniformed technicians, and a written price handed to you before a single duct is touched. Omar Haddad leads our crew, and he holds every technician to the same standard he’d want in his own home on SW 40th Street. That means Rotobrush rotary brush systems for agitation, Nikro HEPA-rated vacuums for negative-pressure extraction, and before-and-after photos of your own ducts before we call the job done.
Westwood Lakes homeowners have told us what they hate about this trade: vague estimates, per-vent pricing that balloons once the tech is inside, and no proof the work actually happened. We built our process to kill those problems. One flat price per system, agreed in writing before we start. No per-vent pricing. No surprise add-ons. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every job: 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 Westwood Lakes booking without exception.
We also answer the phone like a real business. A live person picks up 24/7, no voicemail loops, no next-business-day callbacks. When you call about Air Duct Cleaning, you’ll know who is coming, what equipment they carry, and exactly what the job costs before the van shows up.
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Westwood Lakes
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning for Westwood Lakes storefronts, offices, and small commercial spaces typically runs $900 – $1,800 depending on square footage and system count. The jobs we see near the retail strips along SW 8th Street and the commercial units off SW 40th Street often involve multiple rooftop units or split systems with long supply runs. Commercial ductwork here collects the same fine return-side film as residential systems, but the volume is higher and the access points are tighter, so our crew sizes the job before quoting anything.
Full System Cleaning for Offices and Storefronts
We clean the entire run: supply ducts, return ducts, plenums, and the air handler cabinet. We use Nikro HEPA vacuums for source removal, so loosened debris goes straight into the vacuum, not back into your occupied space. You get before-and-after photos of your duct interiors and a written price per system before any work starts.
Video Inspection Before and After
Every commercial job in Westwood Lakes includes camera inspection so you can see the condition of your ducts before we clean and after. If the system doesn’t need cleaning, we’ll tell you that plainly. No invented urgency.
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Westwood Lakes
Air Duct Cleaning Services for a typical Westwood Lakes home run $450 – $850 for one full system, which covers the supply ducts, return ducts, plenums, and air handler. Ranch homes built in the 1980s and 1990s around Westwood Lakes Park tend to have longer supply runs with more 90-degree turns, which catch more dust. Two-story homes on the western edge near SW 47th Terrace often need extra return-side attention because upstairs returns pull harder and accumulate a tighter dust film.
Residential Duct Cleaning With HEPA Extraction
We don’t just push a brush through and call it done. We set up negative-pressure extraction, meaning the loosened debris goes straight into the Nikro HEPA vacuum, not back into your living room. Our Rotobrush system agitates the duct walls while the vacuum pulls. Then we photograph the results.
Supply and Return Duct Cleaning
Some companies advertise cheap supply-only cleaning and skip the return side. In Westwood Lakes, that’s a mistake. The return side is where the constant cooling cycle deposits the finest dust film, and leaving it means the blower motor keeps pulling that dust back into circulation. We clean both sides every time.

Trusted Brands We Service in Westwood Lakes
We work on systems built around Honeywell, Aprilaire, Guardsman, and most major HVAC brands installed in Westwood Lakes homes over the last thirty years. Whether your air handler is a Carrier, Trane, Rheem, or Goodman unit, our techs know the cabinet access points and the filter housing layouts. We stock Guardsman filtration products and Aprilaire media filters for fast replacement when a filter swap makes more sense than a full cleaning. If your ducts are in good shape but your filtration is weak, we’ll tell you that first.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Westwood Lakes Homes
- Return-side dust film from constant runtime. Homes here cool almost year-round, so return ducts develop a fine, even dust layer rather than a seasonal crust. That film gets past cheap fiberglass filters and coats the blower motor over time.
- Flex runs sagging near the air handler. The humidity and heat in attic spaces along SW 40th Street and the streets around Westwood Lakes Park break down flex duct straps over time, causing sagging runs that trap debris and restrict airflow.
- Per-vent pricing that quietly balloons. A Westwood Lakes home with twelve registers gets quoted a teaser per-vent price, then the final invoice assumes sixteen. We agree on one flat price per system in writing before we start, and it does not change.
- Skipped negative pressure on return ducts. Without HEPA extraction, dislodged debris just resettles in the air handler and blower motor. We source-remove with Nikro HEPA vacuums and show you photos of the result.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Westwood Lakes
If you see visible dust buildup around the return grille, dust blowing from vents when the system kicks on, or a fine dust film on furniture within a day or two of wiping, your ducts likely need cleaning. If the filter is dirty but vents are clean and airflow feels normal, try a filter change first. We’ll give you a straight answer on this when we inspect, and if cleaning genuinely isn’t needed, we’ll say so rather than invent urgency. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll help you figure out which side you’re on.
Per system, always. One flat price per system, agreed in writing before any work starts. We never price per vent because that’s how bait-and-switch quotes happen: a teaser per-vent figure that balloons once the tech counts registers you didn’t know you had. Call (737) 727-2314 for a written quote based on your actual system size.
We start with a walkthrough and photo documentation of your duct interiors. Then we set up negative-pressure extraction with a Nikro HEPA vacuum, run Rotobrush agitation tools through the supply and return ducts, and finish with HEPA filtration of the air handler cabinet. You get before-and-after photos of your own ducts before we leave. One flat price per system, agreed in writing before we start.
We service duct systems attached to Honeywell, Aprilaire, Guardsman, Carrier, Trane, Rheem, Goodman, and most major HVAC brands found in Westwood Lakes homes. Our own equipment is Rotobrush rotary brush systems, Nikro HEPA vacuums, and Abatement Technologies containment units. We stock common Guardsman and Aprilaire filtration products for same-visit replacement when a filter swap beats a full cleaning. Call (737) 727-2314 with your system details for a straight answer.
Yes, and here’s why: Westwood Lakes homes with laundry rooms near the garage or off the kitchen often have long dryer vent runs that exit through the roof or a side wall, and Florida humidity makes lint cling inside those runs faster than in drier climates. Adding dryer vent cleaning to a duct job typically runs $99 – $149, and it’s a separate flat price we quote in writing. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll include it in your written estimate.
