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.

AfterAir Duct Cleaning Company in Westwood Lakes, FL
Most standard air duct cleanings in Westwood Lakes run $350 – $550 for a typical single-family home. Our crews roll up with Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro HEPA vacuums, clean every supply and return duct, and hand you before-and-after photos before we leave. Westwood Lakes sits close enough to the coast that humidity never really quits, which means duct interiors here collect a fine, sticky film of dust and salt-laced air that hardens into something a basic shop-vac pass won’t remove. Call Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning at (737) 727-2314 for a written quote before any work starts.
Why Westwood Lakes Homes Are Different
Westwood Lakes is a pocket of Miami-Dade where most homes were built between the 1980s and early 2000s, and the dominant housing stock is single-story ranch and split-level construction with slab foundations and attic or horizontal HVAC runs. That layout matters for duct cleaning because horizontal ductwork in a hot attic collects a different profile of debris: fine construction dust from original builds, blown-in insulation fibers that migrate into return plenums, and the constant fine grit that South Florida’s humidity turns into a paste. We regularly pull out handfuls of what looks like damp sand from attic returns in this area, and it’s almost always insulation particles bound with condensation.
Homes here run air conditioning ten months a year, sometimes eleven. That continuous runtime means filters clog faster and ducts are always slightly damp, which creates exactly the environment where dust mites and mold spores want to settle. Crews serving Westwood Lakes also deal with a lot of post-renovation ducts, because many original homes have been remodeled over the past decade and drywall dust tends to sit in the system unless someone physically removes it. A standard cleaning here takes longer than in drier inland climates because the debris is tackier and needs a slower pass with negative-pressure extraction, meaning the loosened debris goes straight into the vacuum, not back into the living room.
Our Main Westwood Lakes Services
The three services Westwood Lakes homeowners book with us most are dryer vent cleaning, full air duct cleaning, and HVAC coil and blower cleaning. Each has its own page for this city:
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Westwood Lakes
Lint-clogged dryer vents are the most common fire hazard in single-family homes here, and in Westwood Lakes the risk climbs because many laundry rooms sit deep inside the floor plan, pushing vent runs over 15 feet. The longer the run, the more surface area for lint to pack into, and the harder it is for humidity inside the pipe to evaporate. Our techs run Rotobrush rods the full length of the vent and then verify airflow at the exterior termination point. You get photos of the clog and the cleared pipe, not just a receipt. See Dryer Vent Cleaning in Westwood Lakes for the full local pricing and process breakdown.
Air Duct Cleaning in Westwood Lakes
Full duct cleaning here means removing every supply and return vent cover, brushing the interior walls of each trunk and branch line, and pulling the dislodged debris out under negative pressure with a Nikro HEPA vacuum. In Westwood Lakes homes, we pay special attention to return plenums because that’s where blown-in insulation and renovation dust settle the thickest. We also inspect the filter slot and blower cabinet while the system is open, because about a third of homes we see here are running an improperly sized or collapsed filter. Read the full rundown at Air Duct Cleaning in Westwood Lakes.
HVAC Cleaning in Westwood Lakes
HVAC cleaning goes past the ducts to the equipment itself: the evaporator coil, blower wheel, blower housing, and drain pan. South Florida humidity means the coil in a Westwood Lakes air handler is almost always wet during cooling season, and that wet surface traps dust until it forms a felt-like blanket that strangles airflow and drives your electric bill upward. We brush the coil carefully with a non-acidic cleaner, pull the blower wheel and wash it, and clear the condensate line so it does not back up into the pan. The full scope and local pricing are on HVAC Cleaning in Westwood Lakes.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Westwood Lakes
Most Westwood Lakes bookings are scheduled within 1 to 3 business days. Scheduling is coordinated from our Miami metro office, and crews are dispatched locally, so you get a live arrival window you can track on your phone.
In almost every case, no. Duct cleaning is an interior mechanical maintenance job, and Westwood Lakes HOAs that regulate exterior changes do not require approval for this kind of work. If your home has a rooftop exhaust or vent termination, our techs stay on your property and no HOA sign-off is needed.
First-time cleanings in older Westwood Lakes homes take longer and land near the top of our standard $350 – $550 range, because original construction dust and decades of settled debris need slower extraction. We quote that first visit as a flat whole-system price, not a per-vent charge.
