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 Miami Shores, FL
Air duct cleaning in Miami Shores runs $390 – $660 for a full system on most 1930s – 1950s homes, with dryer vent cleaning adding $120 – $210 and duct repairs ranging from $180 – $900 depending on what’s failed. We’re Linden Air Duct Cleaning, and we work on concrete-block Mediterranean Revival houses where ductwork was retrofitted decades after construction, often threaded through attic cavities that bake above 140°F all summer. That combination of old retrofit ductwork, bay humidity, and salt air means Miami Shores jobs rarely look like the ones we do ten minutes west in North Miami. Call (980) 447-2498 for a written quote before any work starts.
Why Miami Shores Homes Are Different
Miami Shores is a village built largely between the 1930s and 1950s, when central air conditioning didn’t exist here. The homes are solid concrete-block Mediterranean Revival and Mission-style structures, and decades later AC installers retrofitted ductwork into wall cavities and attics those structures were never designed to hold. That retrofit ductwork is now 40 to 50 years old in many cases, with flex duct insulation that crumbles when disturbed and mastic seals that let humid outside air into the system.
The village’s eastern edge sits directly on Biscayne Bay, and that’s the variable inland neighborhoods don’t share. Salt-laden air moves over these homes constantly, and it accelerates mold colonization and metal corrosion inside ducts noticeably faster than what we see in El Portal or North Miami. The historic designation in Miami Shores also means full HVAC renovations are less common, so original retrofit ductwork stays in service far longer here. Our techs have opened supply registers on NE 5th Avenue and found duct runs threaded through original interior wall cavities of solid block, a space-saving shortcut from the 1960s that makes access and inspection genuinely more involved than in newer CBS construction.
Our Main Miami Shores Services
Most Miami Shores homeowners call us about two things: the accumulation of mold and dust inside aging retrofit ducts, and dryer vents that are clogged with lint and pulling bay moisture. Here’s what each job involves locally.
Air Duct Cleaning in Miami Shores
We run negative-pressure extraction through your entire supply and return system, using professional-grade Rotobrush and Nikro equipment to pull out the mold, dust, and salt-air residue that accumulates inside ducts here faster than inland. On Miami Shores homes, we pay particular attention to the attic runs, where insulation often breaks down from 140°F heat and releases fibers into the air stream. Every job includes a written price before we start. Air Duct Cleaning in Miami Shores covers our full process, what to expect, and the verification photos we send.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Miami Shores
Dryer vents in Miami Shores’s concrete-block homes are often short but convoluted, with bends that trap lint quickly. Add Biscayne Bay’s humidity, and that lint becomes a damp, compacted plug that makes dryers run hotter and longer. We open the full vent run with rotary brushes, bypassing the lint trap to clear what normal homeowner cleaning never reaches. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Miami Shores explains our process, how we confirm the vent is clear, and how often you should schedule it given the bay moisture.
Air Duct Repair in Miami Shores
Repair work in Miami Shores is usually about collateral damage from age: separated seams pulling humid outside air into the system, crushed flex duct in tight attic spots, or dislodged registers in retrofitted wall cavities. We assess the full run, show you what’s failed with photos, and give a written price for the repair. Every repair is covered by our written guarantee, with a free second visit if it doesn’t hold. Air Duct Repair in Miami Shores details common failures and how we address them in older concrete-block construction.

No. Air duct and dryer vent cleaning are interior maintenance work and do not require Miami Shores HOA or village permit approval. Repairs that stay inside the existing duct runs are also permit-free. Structural changes would be a different conversation.
Yes, faster than inland homes. Salt air and persistent humidity mean Miami Shores systems re-accumulate mold and dust more quickly than those in North Miami or El Portal. Most bay-side homeowners here schedule a duct inspection every 2 to 3 years, and dryer vent cleaning annually.

- Paul E."I liked that I knew who was coming in. Name and photo texted ahead, badge at the door. He was quiet, careful with the furniture, and thorough."
- Cheryl A."Thorough job on all eleven vents and the main trunk. Took longer than the three hours they quoted, but he told me early and kept working. Air feels fresher."
