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 Lighthouse Point
Dryer vent cleaning in Lighthouse Point typically runs $149 to $229 for a standard single-story home with one dryer and an accessible exterior vent, and most jobs are completed in under two hours. If the run is long, the hood needs replacement, or we find crushed flex behind the wall, the price is quoted and agreed on before we touch anything. Call (737) 727-2314 and you’ll get a live person, a straight answer, and a written price before any work starts. That’s how Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning operates everywhere we serve, including right here in Lighthouse Point.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Lighthouse Point’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We know the homes here. Lighthouse Point is not a high-rise condo market like the cities south of the Hillsboro Inlet. It’s ranch homes, mostly built between the late 1950s and mid 1970s, with long horizontal dryer duct runs that snake through slab-on-grade foundations or low crawlspaces. That layout changes how a dryer vent should be cleaned, and it’s why our teams in Lighthouse Point always run a camera inspection before recommending anything. You don’t need a guess. You need to see what’s actually in the run.
Omar Haddad leads our Lighthouse Point work, and every job here carries the same standard: a written price before work begins, background-checked uniformed technicians who show up with professional-grade equipment, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise on every single booking. If the work isn’t right within 365 days, we return and correct it at no charge. No fine print, no exceptions.
Dryer Vent Repair in Lighthouse Point
Dryer Vent Repair in Lighthouse Point usually means one of three things: a crushed or disconnected flex section behind the dryer, a broken or clogged exterior vent hood, or a run that was never properly supported and has sagged until lint pools in the low spot. On Lighthouse Point’s slab-on-grade ranch homes, the run often has a 90-degree bend at the wall plate, and that bend is exactly where crushed flex hides. You can’t see it from the laundry room. A camera inspection finds it in about ten minutes.
Vent Hood Replacement
Lighthouse Point homes on canals and near the Intracoastal deal with salt air, and aluminum vent hoods corrode faster here than they do ten miles inland. A corroded hood with a stuck flapper damper is a restriction even when the run itself is clean. We stock replacement hoods, including low-profile models that fit the soffit-mounted set-ups common on 1960s ranch builds, and we can install them the same visit we clean the run.
Bird Guard and Pest Blocking
Dryer vent hoods without a bird guard are a known problem in Lighthouse Point, where house sparrows and starlings nest in the warm vent opening. The nest plugs the flapper from the outside, and the dryer pushes hot air back into the home. We install corrosion-resistant bird guard assemblies that bolt over the existing hood and keep nesting material out while still allowing full airflow.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company in Lighthouse Point
A Dryer Vent Cleaning Company in Lighthouse Point is only as good as its willingness to show you the work, and we show all of it. We don’t charge per vent, because a single-family home in Lighthouse Point has one dryer, one run, and one continuous lint pathway. We charge one flat price per dryer system, agreed in writing before we start. That runs $149 to $229 for most Lighthouse Point homes, and it includes camera inspection, source removal under negative pressure with HEPA filtration, and before-and-after photos of your own ducts delivered the same visit.
Rotobrush and Negative-Pressure Extraction
We clean Lighthouse Point dryer runs with rotary agitation tools like the Rotobrush brush system, then run a Nikro HEPA vacuum under negative pressure. Negative pressure means the loosened lint goes straight into a sealed, filtered vacuum stream, not back into your laundry room. For longer runs that dump through a crawlspace, we use Abatement Technologies containment so no lint settles into the crawlspace during the job.
Camera Verification Before and After
Every Lighthouse Point dryer vent cleaning starts with a camera inspection and ends with one. You’ll see what the run looked like before we started, then what the same run looks like after. If there’s a repair needed mid-run that’s out of scope, you’ll see it on camera and decide for yourself. No scare tactics. No stock photos.
Trusted Brands We Service in Lighthouse Point
We work on dryers and vent runs of every major brand you’ll find in Lighthouse Point laundry rooms, and we also stock and install filtration and airflow products from Aprilaire, Guardsman, and Abatement Technologies for homeowners who want better indoor air beyond the dryer run. Because our Lighthouse Point crews keep common replacement parts on the truck, a vent hood swap or a bird guard install usually happens the same visit. No waiting on a second trip or a parts delivery.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Lighthouse Point Homes
- Long horizontal runs hidden behind walls. Many Lighthouse Point ranches were built with the laundry room on the opposite side of the home from the exterior vent wall. The trap catches some lint, but the hidden run does the heavy work, and it’s rarely the part anyone checks.
- Crushed flex at the wall-plate 90-degree bend. When the dryer is pushed back against the wall, the flex connector accordions onto itself. In a slab foundation, that bend is a natural pinch point. We find this camera-verified issue in Lighthouse Point homes at a rate you’d expect in any mid-century low-rise city.
- Corroded vent hoods near the water. Homes within a half mile of the Intracoastal or the canals see faster salt corrosion on exterior aluminum hoods. A stuck flapper from corrosion is not a cleaning issue, it’s a repair, and we do both the same day.
- Bird and rodent entry at the vent opening. This is a real and specific issue in Lighthouse Point’s low-rise, tree-lined neighborhoods. The warm exhaust opening is a nesting target, and the fix is a bolted bird guard, not a caulk bead.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lighthouse Point, FL
A standard dryer vent cleaning in Lighthouse Point runs $149 to $229, and that is one flat price per dryer system, not a per-vent charge. What moves your price within that range is simple: how long the run is, where it terminates, and whether the exterior hood needs a replacement or a bird guard added on. A vent hood replacement in Lighthouse Point typically adds $35 to $65 for the parts and labor, and a bird guard install adds $25 to $45. You will always get a written price before we start, and that price does not change at the door. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lighthouse Point
One flat price per dryer system, never per vent. A Lighthouse Point single-family home has one dryer and one continuous lint pathway, and we price it as one system: $149 to $229 for a standard run. If a company prices you per vent on a single-family home, they’re charging you more for a job that is structurally one duct. Call (737) 727-2314 for a written quote before any work starts.
No, and I’ll be direct about why. The trap catches what it catches, but in Lighthouse Point’s slab-on-grade ranch floor plans, the run from the laundry wall to the exterior vent can be 15 to 30 feet. Every foot of that run is a surface where lint can settle, felt, and pack against a bend. We ran a camera on a 1960s single-story on NE 24th Street where the homeowner had cleaned the trap weekly for years, but the run behind the wall was packed with felted lint. Cleaning the trap is maintenance. Cleaning the run is the job. Call (737) 727-2314 to schedule an inspection.
Every 12 to 24 months for most single-family homes in Lighthouse Point, and every 12 months if the run is longer than 15 feet, the home is occupied by a family doing multiple loads a week, or the exterior vent hood has ever shown signs of bird activity. We’ll tell you honestly if your run doesn’t need it yet. We’d rather you trust the advice than oversell you a job.
Yes. Every dryer vent cleaning in Lighthouse Point includes before-and-after camera photos of your actual run, delivered to your phone the same visit. You’ll see the lint we removed, the interior of the run after the cleaning, and any repair findings from the camera inspection. That’s the standard, not an upsell.
We don’t promise same-day service, because a real dryer vent job on a Lighthouse Point ranch can require a vent hood pull, a crawlspace entry, or a crushed flex repair, and rushing any of that leaves the failure point untouched. What we do offer is a live trackable arrival window, a written price before work begins, and a job done correctly the first time. Call (737) 727-2314 and a live person will schedule you for the next available slot.
