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 West Miami
Dryer vent cleaning in West Miami typically costs $149 – $289 for a standard single-run system in one of the city’s 1950s ranch homes, and most jobs are completed in under two hours. That number is not a teaser. It’s the written price we hand you before a single tool comes off the truck, and it covers the full run from the dryer transition to the roof cap. If your dryer is taking two cycles to dry a towel or the outside flap isn’t moving, call (737) 727-2314. We’ll schedule you a live arrival window you can track from your phone, and we’ll show you before-and-after photos of your own vent before we leave.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is West Miami’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
West Miami is a tight 0.7-square-mile city, and most of its housing stock went up between 1945 and 1970. That means the same three or four vent configurations repeat across hundreds of homes: long runs up through low-slope roofs, transition ducts crushed behind 30-year-old washers, and roof caps that have not been opened since the Bush administration. We know what we’re walking into on SW 62nd Court or SW 15th Street before we ring the bell, because we’ve worked those blocks. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and you’ll know their name before they arrive.
Every West Miami job is covered by the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work is not right within 365 days, we return and correct it at no charge. Every repair carries a written guarantee and a free second visit if that repair fails. That’s the standard, and it applies to every booking without exception. No fine print, no “that’s a different department.”
We’re part of the Relay Home Co. family, founded in 2005, and we operate under The Relay Standard: a live trackable arrival window, before-and-after photo documentation, and a digital invoice payable by link from your phone. You never chase us for a receipt, and you never wonder when the tech is coming.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in West Miami
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in West Miami starts at the dryer transition and ends at the roof cap, with a camera inspection at both ends so you can see the lint pathway before and after. In most West Miami ranch homes, that run is 15 to 30 feet and climbs through a flat or low-pitch roof. The job involves disconnecting the transition duct behind the dryer, running a Rotobrush rotary whip with agitation tools down the full run, pulling the loosened lint into a Nikro HEPA vacuum under negative pressure, then clearing the exterior cap and confirming strong airflow. A full system dry vent inspection is included on every job, and lint removal is the core of the work.
Most West Miami homes need this service every 12 to 24 months. A household of four doing six to eight loads a week will pack a 4-inch vent with lint far faster than a two-person household. You’ll know it’s time when the dryer runs hot, the laundry room smells faintly of scorched fabric, or the outside flap stays shut mid-cycle.
One Flat Price Per System
We charge one flat price per system, agreed before we start. Not per vent, not per hour, not per foot of cable. A standard West Miami single-run dryer vent cleaning runs $149 – $289. If the run is unusually long, has multiple elbows, or needs a roof cap replacement, the written quote reflects that before any work begins. You sign off on the number first.
The Camera Does Not Lie
Before we pack up, we show you before-and-after photos of your own duct, taken from the roof cap and the dryer end. That’s not a courtesy. It’s your proof that the run is actually clear, and it’s part of The Relay Standard on every booking.
Dryer Vent Installation in West Miami
Dryer Vent Installation in West Miami is a common job in the city’s older homes, where original 4-inch runs have delaminated, rusted at the roof penetration, or been improperly rerouted with flexible foil. When a run is beyond cleaning, we replace the full pathway with rigid or semi-rigid metal duct, proper elbows, and a new exterior termination. Most standard installations in West Miami run $289 – $549 depending on run length and roof access.
We also handle vent rerouting for homeowners who want to shorten a long, inefficient run. In some West Miami ranches, moving the dryer to an interior wall and running a shorter path to a side wall can cut dry times noticeably. An aerial roof inspection tells us whether the route is feasible, and we give a written price before any demo starts.
Bird Guard and Cap Replacement
West Miami roofs are low and easy for birds to land on. We regularly find nests inside roof caps or dead birds blocking the vent flap. Bird guard installation runs $75 – $150 and fits over the existing termination. Vent cap replacement runs $60 – $180 depending on the cap style. Both are common add-ons when we’re already on the roof for a cleaning.
Trusted Brands We Service in West Miami
We service and install vents on virtually every dryer brand found in West Miami laundry rooms: Whirlpool, LG, Samsung, Maytag, GE, Electrolux, and Speed Queen. We also carry Guardsman clamps and caps on the truck, so a rusted strap or broken termination gets replaced on the spot instead of ordered. Our equipment lineup includes Rotobrush brush systems for source removal, Nikro HEPA vacuums for extraction without blowing lint into the house, and Abatement Technologies containment when we’re working around finished walls or moving air. If your dryer is in a tight West Miami utility closet, we bring the shorter whip setups for tight clearances.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in West Miami Homes
- Crushed foil transition ducts behind the dryer. In West Miami’s compact laundry rooms, washers and dryers get shoved hard against the wall. That flexible foil collapses at the stile, throttling airflow before the run even starts. We’ve replaced hundreds of these with rigid elbows.
- Sad, neglected roof caps on low-slope roofs. Lint packs hardest at the exterior termination. Cleaners who skip the roof climb leave the worst plug in place. We never skip the cap.
- High-humidity lint clumps. West Miami sits west of the turnpike but still gets heavy Miami humidity for most of the year. Lint here tends to be denser and clumpier than in drier inland cities, which means a straight suction-only clean leaves residue on the duct walls. Rotary agitation matters more here.
- Birds and debris in the cap. With so many flat, accessible roofs, West Miami caps collect twigs, feathers, and feral cat pawing. A blocked cap can mimic every symptom of a clogged run while the duct itself stays fairly clean.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in West Miami, FL
Here’s the honest table for West Miami’s market. A standard single-run dryer vent cleaning runs $149 – $289. That includes the full run from transition to roof cap, camera inspection, and before-and-after photos. A longer run over 25 feet or with multiple elbows falls at the top of that range. A combined dryer vent plus HVAC cleaning on a typical 3-bedroom ranch runs $399 – $649, and we quote that as one flat number, not a per-vent calculation. Roof cap replacement adds $60 – $180. Bird guard installation adds $75 – $150. Every job includes a free estimate, and the written price you approve in the driveway is the price on your invoice. Call (737) 727-2314 for an exact quote on your run; you’ll get a real answer, not a callback.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in West Miami
We typically schedule West Miami jobs within 2 to 5 business days. West Miami is only 0.7 square miles, so once a crew is assigned, arrival is rarely the bottleneck. We do not promise same-day service, because we will not rush past your transition duct or blower motor to hit a clock. You get a live trackable arrival window on your phone.
Yes. We work the Flagami edge off SW 62nd Court, the residential blocks along SW 8th Street, the side streets around West Miami Middle School, and every address inside the city’s 33144 ZIP code. If you’re within West Miami city limits, we cover you.
Yes, moderately. A clogged dryer vent forces the blower to work harder and can push fine lint and combustion byproducts back into the laundry room instead of out the roof cap. That said, dryer vent cleaning is not a substitute for whole-home air duct cleaning. If you’re in West Miami and your laundry room smells acrid or dusty while the dryer runs, call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll tell you honestly whether the dryer run is the problem or the HVAC ducts need attention too.
In West Miami specifically, you’re looking at $149 – $289 for a standard run. That’s within a few dollars of what you’d pay in Miami or the broader 33144 corridor, because the job complexity is similar. Where prices differ is in roof access. West Miami’s low-slope ranch roofs are generally faster and safer to walk than a two-story Miami house, which keeps labor on the lower end of the range here.
Every dryer vent cleaning in West Miami is covered by the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work is not right within 365 days, we return and correct it at no charge. Every repair carries a written guarantee and a free second visit if that repair fails. That’s the Cardinal standard, and it applies to every booking without exception.
We hand you before-and-after photos of your own duct, taken from the dryer end and the roof cap. You’ll see the lint pathway before we start and the clear run after we finish, and you’ll get a digital invoice payable by link. No invoice until the photos are in your hand. If we tell you the supply and return ducts are fine and only the dryer run needed source removal, the camera inspection backs that up. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate on your West Miami dryer vent.
