Homeowners here deal with a specific set of duct problems driven by the city’s canal-peninsula geography, and our technicians have seen the same failure patterns again and again: delaminated flex liner in supply runs, pinhole leaks in original 1960s sheet metal, and collapsed trunk lines feeding back bedrooms.

Before the visit, you get the tech’s name and photo sent to you directly. When they knock on the door, they show a photo ID badge. No exceptions, every time.

Duct Replacement in Lighthouse Point
Duct replacement in Lighthouse Point is the permanent fix for duct runs that have failed beyond sealing or patching. In this city’s canal-front ranch homes, built mostly between the late 1950s and mid-1970s, that means fiberglass-lined flex duct from the original construction era or the first replacement cycle decades ago. The liner breaks down under constant salt-laden humidity, the inner core collapses, and air stops reaching the far bedrooms. Replacing that run with modern insulated ductboard restores airflow, cuts blower motor strain, and removes the material that was feeding the mold cycle.
What Replacement Costs in Lighthouse Point
A full duct replacement on a three-bedroom concrete-block ranch in Lighthouse Point typically falls between $3,200 and $5,600, depending on the number of runs, attic access above the soffit lines, and whether the trunk line itself needs to be rebuilt. Partial replacement, like a single crushed supply branch or a collapsed return drop, runs $240 – $780. We put the written price in front of you before any work begins, so there’s never an invoice at the end that looks different from the number you approved.
When Replacement Beats Repair
When a camera inspection shows the liner has separated from the flex core in multiple spots, or the inner coil is crushed flat for more than a few feet, sealing or patching won’t hold. In Lighthouse Point’s marine air, a repaired section of old flex will typically fail again within two years. Replacing the run is the honest call, and we’ll show you the inspection footage so you can see exactly why.
Ductwork Installation in Lighthouse Point
Ductwork installation in Lighthouse Point covers the homes where the existing system is too far gone to repair run-by-run, or where a remodel has changed the floor plan and the old sheet metal no longer matches the room layout. Many of the city’s original 1960s-era ranch homes still have their first sheet metal trunk lines. Those trunks hide pinhole leaks and disconnected joints above soffits, where supply air bleeds into the attic before it ever reaches a register. Installing new ductwork, properly sized and sealed, is sometimes the only way to fix a system that’s been leaking conditioned air for decades.
New Trunk Lines and Branch Runs
We build new trunk lines from insulated ductboard, sized to the air handler’s actual CFM output and the room-by-room load. The old sheet metal comes out, the attic gets inspected for moisture intrusion points, and the new branches are sealed with mastic at every joint. In canal-front Lighthouse Point homes, we pay particular attention to slab penetrations and open returns where marine air enters the system.
Sizing and Sealing Done Right
A common mistake in these older Lighthouse Point ranches is replacing ducts without checking whether the original sizing was ever correct. We don’t copy what was there. We measure supply and return requirements for each room, then build the new system to match. The result is quieter operation, lower blower amp draw, and even temperatures from the living room to the back bedroom.
Trusted Brands We Service in Lighthouse Point
We work with professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush and Nikro, and we’re set up to source air-quality and filtration products from Aprilaire, Abatement Technologies, and Guardsman for Lighthouse Point customers. That matters when you need a replacement liner, a new filter housing, or a UV system installed as part of a repair. We keep the parts we commonly need on the truck, which means fewer return trips and faster turnaround for Lighthouse Point homeowners.
Common Air Duct Repair Problems We See in Lighthouse Point Homes
- Salt-air flex liner delamination. The peninsula’s canal humidity separates the inner liner from the flex core far faster than inland Broward homes. We see it in as little as two to three years on canal-front homes, even when the air handler is under five years old.
- Collapsed supply branches above soffits. Original flex from the 1970s and 1980s loses structural integrity over decades of heat and moisture cycling. A camera inspection often shows a run pinched flat where it turns over a soffit, starving two or three bedrooms of air.
- Disconnected sheet metal joints. The original 1960s-era trunks in Lighthouse Point’s ranch homes were installed with simple slip joints and a strip of tape. Decades of thermal expansion have pulled some of those joints apart in the attic, so supply air pours out before reaching any register.
- Standing-water condensate damage. The near-continuous AC runtime in this humidity means condensate doesn’t always drain fast enough. The overflow gets pulled into the return side of the system, soaking the liner and creating pockets where mildew re-forms within months.

FAQs About Air Duct Repair in Lighthouse Point
In Lighthouse Point, flex-duct liner typically breaks down in two to three years, compared to five to seven years in inland Broward communities like Coconut Creek or Margate. The difference is the city’s canal-peninsula geography, which keeps ambient humidity elevated and pushes salt-laden marine air through slab penetrations and open returns. If your ducts were cleaned two years ago and the musty smell is already back, the liner is likely the problem, not the cleaning. Call (980) 447-2498 for a camera inspection and an honest answer.
A crushed or disconnected run is repaired by first locating the exact failure point with a camera inspection, then either replacing the damaged section with new insulated flex or ductboard, or resealing a separated joint with mastic and reinforcing it. The repair is done from the attic or chase access, not by cutting into finished walls unnecessarily. We show you the camera footage before we start, so you see exactly what we found and what the fix will do.
Canal-front homes here show mold re-growth so quickly because the surrounding saltwater constantly feeds moisture into the duct liner, and the near-continuous AC runtime keeps condensation present inside supply and return runs. A cleaning removes the surface growth, but it can’t change the fact that the liner itself is holding moisture and organic material. The real fix is often liner replacement or duct sealing, which removes the material the mold is feeding on. That’s the conversation we have with Lighthouse Point homeowners on a regular basis.
We replace old sheet metal ductwork when the trunk or branch runs have multiple pinhole leaks, disconnected joints, or rust-through from decades of attic moisture. Some sections can be repaired by sealing joints and reinforcing weak points, but if the camera shows widespread deterioration, replacement is the only fix that will hold. We’ll show you the footage and let you make an informed call, with a written price either way.
We seal off the work area, lay down floor protection in hallways and rooms we’ll pass through, and use negative-pressure extraction equipment to pull airborne dust out of the living space during the repair. Before-and-after photos of your ducts are provided on every job, so you can see what was done and that the area was left clean. If anything isn’t right, the 365-Day Done Right Promise covers it in writing, and the second visit is free.
