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 Miramar
Dryer vent cleaning in Miramar typically runs $149 – $289 for a standard single-family home, and the work takes about 60 – 90 minutes from camera inspection to final before-and-after photos. We’re Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Relay Home Co. family founded in 2005, and we clean dryer vents the way we’d want our own done: one flat price per system agreed before we start, a written guarantee, and photographic proof of your actual duct when we finish. Call (737) 727-2314 and you’ll get a live person, not a voicemail loop.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Miramar’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Miramar homeowners call us because we treat dryer vent cleaning as a system-level job, not a register-counting exercise. The housing stock here swings from 1960s ranches off Miramar Parkway to brand-new two-story builds in Sunset Lakes and Riviera Isles, and the lint pathway in each is completely different. A short garage-wall vent in an older home needs a different approach than a 25-foot run with multiple 90-degree elbows behind drywall in a newer one. We start every Miramar job with a camera inspection of the actual lint pathway, then clean back to the exterior termination using agitation tools and negative-pressure extraction with HEPA filtration. That means the loosened lint goes straight into a Nikro HEPA vacuum, not back into your laundry room.
Omar Haddad leads our team, and he holds every job to the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the work isn’t right within a full year, we return and correct it at no charge. That applies to every booking, without exception. It’s the longest-standing satisfaction window in the trade, and it’s why Miramar customers from Monarch Lakes to Silver Shores keep our number saved. Technicians arrive in uniform, background-checked, and you’ll know their name before they open the door. We run Rotobrush brush systems and Abatement Technologies containment units: professional-grade equipment, not a truck-mounted shop-vac shortcut.
Every booking comes with the Relay Standard: a live trackable arrival window, before-and-after photo documentation of your own duct, and a digital invoice payable by link. You’ll never wonder what you paid for. The photos answer it.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Miramar
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Miramar covers shared laundry rooms in condo buildings, apartment complexes, salons, gyms, and any property where multiple dryers share a common vent stack. These runs are longer, the lint volume is higher, and the fire risk compounds fast when no single unit owner is directly responsible for the pathway behind the wall. Miramar has a growing number of multi-unit buildings along Red Road and University Drive where the dryer exhaust runs 30 feet or more before reaching the roof or exterior wall. A commercial cleaning here typically runs $350 – $850 depending on run length, access, and how many riser sections need work. We scope it with a camera first, quote one flat price per system, and hand you the written price before any tool comes off the truck.
Shared Vents and Liability
In a condo or apartment building, the shared dryer vent is usually nobody’s daily priority until it becomes everybody’s problem. Lint packs at the damper, the system overworks, and one slow dryer affects the whole floor. We clean the full run from the dryer connection to the exterior termination, photograph everything, and document it for HOA or property management records.
Multi-Dryer Mechanical Rooms
Gyms and salons in Miramar often run dryers back-to-back all day. The lint accumulates faster than a single-family home, and the blower motor strain shows up first as longer dry times on towels and uniforms. A quarterly or semi-annual cleaning schedule for these rooms costs less than one failed motor replacement, and we’ll set the cadence based on what the camera shows, not a generic calendar.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Miramar
A Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Miramar is a full-pathway cleaning, not a trap-to-wall stub. We run a camera inspection down the lint pathway to see exactly what we’re dealing with: crushed flexible duct behind drywall, a packed lint damper at the exterior cap, or a run that’s clean and genuinely doesn’t need work yet. A standard single-family cleaning here runs $149 – $289, and the price is one flat figure per system agreed before we start. No per-vent pricing, no door-knock upsell, no “while we’re here” surprises.
Camera Inspection First, Always
We pulled up to a two-story in Sunset Lakes where the homeowner had cleaned the trap for years but the dryer was still taking two cycles to finish a load of towels. Our tech ran a camera inspection down the lint pathway and found the flexible foil duct crushed behind the second-floor laundry wall with a packed lint damper at the exterior termination. Using agitation tools and negative pressure with HEPA filtration, we cleared the run to the outside cap, photographed the before-and-after of the homeowner’s own duct, and left one flat price agreed before we started.
What the Full Run Actually Includes
The job covers everything from the dryer connection point to the exterior cap: the transition duct, the full horizontal and vertical run, the damper, and the termination. We use a Rotobrush system to agitate the duct walls, then pull the loosened debris into a Nikro HEPA vacuum. If we find damage, a bird guard missing, or a cap that needs replacement, we show you the photo and quote the repair separately with a written guarantee on every repair.
Trusted Brands We Service in Miramar
We work on dryer vent runs tied to every major laundry brand: Whirlpool, LG, Samsung, GE, Maytag, Electrolux, and Speed Queen. The vent cleaning itself is brand-agnostic; what matters more is the duct configuration and the termination hardware. We stock common vent caps, dampers, and bird guards for Miramar customers so a simple cap replacement doesn’t turn into a second visit. If you’ve got an Aprilaire or Honeywell air quality system near the laundry, we’ll keep the vent work clean around it, and Abatement Technologies containment units keep the work area sealed so no lint dust leaves the laundry room.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Miramar Homes
- Second-floor laundry with crushed duct. In Miramar’s newer two-story builds, the flexible foil duct often gets compressed behind drywall during construction. The trap looks clean, but the airflow is choked somewhere you can’t see. Camera inspection finds it in under ten minutes.
- Long horizontal runs with packed lint at the damper. Homes in Sunset Lakes and Riviera Isles frequently have laundry rooms on an exterior wall far from the dryer. Air path length stretches to 25 feet or more, and lint packs at the exterior termination even when the visible run looks okay.
- Garage-wall vents that are too short and too ignored. Older ranches off Miramar Parkway sometimes vent straight through the garage wall in six feet. That’s the easiest run to clean, but it’s also the one homeowners forget about entirely, and a completely blocked short run is a genuine fire hazard.
- Bird and rodent nests in the exterior cap. Miramar’s landscaping and canal-adjacent lots mean birds, lizards, and the occasional rodent find dryer vents an inviting place to nest. A missing bird guard turns a clean vent into a blocked one within a season.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Miramar, FL
A typical residential dryer vent cleaning in Miramar runs $149 – $289. What moves the price within that range is the length of the run, the number of elbows, access to the termination point, and how badly the pathway is packed. A short garage-wall vent on a 1960s ranch is the bottom of the range. A 25-foot second-floor run with two or three 90-degree bends and a second-story exterior cap is the top. Commercial and shared-vent jobs run $350 – $850. We quote one flat price per system before we start, and the price on the written estimate is the price on the invoice. Call (737) 727-2314 for an exact quote: estimates are free, and the camera inspection is part of every cleaning, not an add-on.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Miramar
Once a year is the honest answer for most Miramar homes, and twice a year if you’ve got a second-floor laundry with a long run, a large household doing daily loads, or pets that shed heavily. That’s more often than many companies claim, because they benefit from cheap per-vent pricing that doesn’t actually clean the full pathway. What the camera shows on one visit tells you whether you’re a six-month or twelve-month household. Call (737) 727-2314 to schedule one and we’ll tell you straight.
We charge one flat price per system, agreed in writing before we start. No per-vent pricing, no register counting, no “your run was longer than expected” adjustment at the door. The price you sign is the price you pay, and it covers the full pathway from the dryer connection to the exterior cap. If we find damage that needs a separate repair, we show you the photo and quote that separately with a written guarantee before touching it.
We start with a camera inspection of the entire lint pathway, from the dryer connection to the exterior termination. Then we agitate the duct walls with a Rotobrush system, extract the loosened debris with a Nikro HEPA vacuum running negative pressure, and photograph the before-and-after of your own duct. You see the actual condition of the run, not a stock photo. The whole job takes 60 – 90 minutes for a standard single-family home.
