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 Palmetto Estates, FL
Air duct cleaning in Palmetto Estates runs between $390 and $690 for a whole-home system in a typical 1960s-to-1980s ranch, and the job almost always takes most of a working day when the air handler is included. What makes Palmetto Estates different from most of Miami-Dade is that your ducts never get a break: the AC runs year-round, the attic bakes at 140°F, and the moisture that forms inside flex ductwork turns ordinary dust into a biological problem that keeps coming back. Call (980) 447-2498 for a written quote before anyone sets foot in your home.
Why Palmetto Estates Homes Are Different
Palmetto Estates sits in unincorporated Miami-Dade County, just a few miles from the eastern edge of the Everglades. That single fact changes what lives inside your air ducts. The ambient mold-spore and organic-particulate load here is among the highest in the continental United States. Couple that with ranch homes built between the mid-1960s and mid-1980s, most of them running flexible ductwork through unconditioned attics, and you get a specific failure pattern we see over and over: the AC runs 365 days a year, the attic cycles between punishing heat and cold conditioned air, and condensation forms inside the duct liner itself.
That condensation never really dries out. It becomes a standing invitation for biofilm and microbial growth that most homeowners never see until a home inspector flags it during a sale. The ducts sag, the inner liner degrades, joints disconnect, and moisture traps organic debris in ways that simply don’t happen in homes with a real heating season. This is not a seasonal cleaning issue in Palmetto Estates. It is a structural one, specific to this corridor of Miami-Dade, and it changes what a proper duct cleaning has to address.
Our Main Palmetto Estates Services
Three services cover almost every call we take in Palmetto Estates: full air duct cleaning, dryer vent cleaning, and air duct repair. Here is what each one involves in this neighborhood specifically.
Air Duct Cleaning in Palmetto Estates
Whole-home duct cleaning in Palmetto Estates means pulling negative-pressure extraction through every supply and return run, but it almost always has to include the air handler plenum and evaporator coil cavity. That is where Miami-Dade inspectors consistently find active mold growth in this neighborhood, and a cleaning that skips it will not satisfy a buyer’s inspection contingency. The flex duct in these 1960s-1980s ranches usually needs a camera inspection beforehand, because sagging and disconnected joints change the access plan. Full details, including what the written quote covers and what it does not, are on the Air Duct Cleaning in Palmetto Estates page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Palmetto Estates
Palmetto Estates dryer vents run short in single-story ranches, but that is not the problem. The problem is the combination of heavy summertime humidity and lint that hardens into a cement-like layer against the vent wall. The flex transitions behind these older machines were rarely installed with the lint trap bypass in mind, and we routinely pull out matted lint that should have never accumulated in the first place. The job is straightforward in most Palmetto Estates homes, but it is genuinely a fire risk if it has been years. See Dryer Vent Cleaning in Palmetto Estates for pricing and what the service includes.
Air Duct Repair in Palmetto Estates
Flex duct in Palmetto Estates takes a beating. The attic heat cycle in these concrete-block ranches causes inner liner degradation and disconnected joints faster than most homeowners expect, and a collapsed or separated run quietly robs airflow for months before anyone notices a hot room. When we repair ductwork here, the written guarantee covers the repair for 365 days, and if a covered repair fails we come back at no charge. That second-visit commitment matters in this climate, where attic conditions stress every connection. Read the scope and guarantee details on the Air Duct Repair in Palmetto Estates page.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Palmetto Estates
For most Palmetto Estates homes, we can schedule within three to five business days. Duct cleaning is not a rush job: the extraction equipment takes time to set up, and the air handler work this neighborhood often needs adds hours. Call (980) 447-2498 and we will give you a real date, not a vague window.
It often does, but only if the air handler plenum and evaporator coil cavity are cleaned at the same time. Palmetto Estates inspectors look there first. Tell us you are under contract and we will scope the quote around the inspection contingency so it is written and ready.
Duct cleaning itself needs no permit in unincorporated Miami-Dade. Duct repair or replacement that alters the system’s airflow may fall under mechanical permitting depending on scope. We confirm what applies to your address before any work starts, and the written quote reflects it.

What Palmetto Estates 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.
