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 Coral Gables, FL
Air duct cleaning in Coral Gables costs between $285 and $540 for a whole-home system, and the job almost always takes three to five hours. Coral Gables work is different because most of these homes are 1920s and 1930s Mediterranean Revival structures with ductwork that was retrofitted into attics never built for it. Those ducts run through spaces that hit 130°F in summer, collect organic debris from the city’s dense tree canopy, and pull in salt-laden air from Biscayne Bay year-round. If you want a written, all-in quote before anyone touches your ducts, call (980) 447-2498.
Why Coral Gables Homes Are Different
Most Coral Gables homes are framed by banyan, strangler fig, and live oak canopies that drop fine organic matter into return-air grilles faster than anywhere else in Miami-Dade. That debris gets pulled into duct runs that were never part of the original design. George Merrick’s master plan never accounted for central air conditioning, so 1970s and 1980s flex duct was later snaked through low-clearance attics and chased through original plaster walls.
The result is a system under constant strain. Air conditioning runs ten to eleven months a year here, pulling in spore-rich, humid air off Biscayne Bay. The high water table and daily summer thunderstorms keep relative humidity high enough that any small duct leak creates condensation inside the system, which is exactly where mold and biofilm take hold. Homes around Coral Way and the older ‘Section’ streets regularly show partially collapsed flex duct that has baked in attic heat for decades. The Board of Architects also complicates any exterior duct-penetration or equipment-relocation work on contributing historic structures, so interior access routes matter more here than in newer cities.
Our Main Coral Gables Services
Coral Gables homeowners call us for three jobs more than any others: whole-home air duct cleaning, dryer vent cleaning, and duct repair. Each has its own Coral Gables page with pricing, what to expect, and the local conditions that matter.
Air Duct Cleaning in Coral Gables
Whole-home Air Duct Cleaning in Coral Gables runs $285 to $540 depending on home size and access. In most Coral Gables homes, our crews work through attic access points with limited clearance, maneuvering professional-grade negative-pressure extraction equipment around original coral-rock walls and retrofit flex runs. The dense tree canopy means return-air grilles clog faster here than almost anywhere in the county, so we clean those thoroughly as part of every job. The written price covers the entire system, every vent, every return, before we start.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Coral Gables
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Coral Gables is the job we recommend most often for older homes, and the reason is simple: many original Mediterranean Revival houses have long, multi-turn exhaust runs that should have been shortened decades ago. Lint bypasses the trap, settles in those turns, and sits in humid, salty air until it becomes a plug. Our techs clear the full run from the dryer to the exterior vent cap, using equipment designed for restricted access. We leave no lint behind because a plugged dryer vent is a fire risk, not a maintenance issue.
Air Duct Repair in Coral Gables
Air Duct Repair in Coral Gables handles everything from collapsed flex duct in hot attics to disconnected joints and leaking plenums. Attic temperatures over 130°F cause 40-year-old flex duct to sag, split, and separate, which is why so many Coral Gables systems lose conditioned air into the attic instead of the living space. Every repair gets a written guarantee. If a covered repair fails within 365 days, Marcus Veale sends a crew back at no charge. The price is in writing before any work begins.

What Coral Gables Customers Say
"Tech arrived with a badge and a printed sheet of what he'd be doing. Ran a camera through the main trunk before and after so I could see the dust difference. Vents smell cleaner already."
- Gina R."Priced by the system, not by the vent, and he told me up front. No pressure to add the sanitizer and I said no without any fuss."
- Faith N."We had construction dust packed into every register after a remodel. They sealed off the returns, used negative pressure, and left the floors cleaner than they found them."
- Paul E.
