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 in Miami Beach, FL
Dryer vent cleaning in Miami Beach runs $129 to $229 for a full clog removal and is the single most requested service from our home page because the barrier island’s salt-heavy air corrodes vent components faster than anywhere on the mainland. Duct repair and air quality work follow close behind, driven by two-sided oceanic humidity that turns organic debris into mold substrate within weeks. If you need a written price before anyone touches a panel, call (806) 606-6902.
Why Miami Beach Homes Are Different
Miami Beach is a narrow barrier island with the Atlantic on the east and Biscayne Bay on the west. That means HVAC systems here face salt-laden marine air from two directions at once, running nearly 12 months a year. The result is faster mold colonization inside ductwork and accelerated corrosion of metal components than anywhere else in South Florida.
The housing stock makes this worse. South Beach’s 1920s and 1940s Art Deco low-rises had central AC retrofitted decades after construction, with flex-duct runs squeezed through irregular ceiling cavities never designed for airflow. Mid-century MiMo towers along Collins Avenue and modern high-rises often run undersized ducts that can’t keep up with the island’s extreme humidity loads. In retrofitted Art Deco buildings, flex ducts commonly run through un-insulated ceiling plenums just under flat, dark roofs that absorb intense subtropical sun. The heat differential makes duct walls sweat condensation year-round, a failure mode we see almost exclusively in this neighborhood’s pre-war stock.
Add in relative humidity that rarely drops below 70% even indoors when the AC cycles off, and cleaning intervals that work in a drier Florida city become dangerously long here.
Our Main Miami Beach Services
Two services account for the majority of calls from Miami Beach homeowners: full air duct cleaning and HVAC system cleaning. Both jobs intersect directly with this island’s salt, humidity, and retrofit-construction realities.
Air Duct Cleaning in Miami Beach
Full negative-pressure extraction of every duct run, with the inside of each run photographed before and after. In Miami Beach, we document what the camera finds: salt residue, mold substrate on organic debris, and condensation-related accumulation at elbows. The photo record is yours as a deliverable, not a sales prop. Details, pricing, and what to expect are on the Air Duct Cleaning in Miami Beach page.
HVAC Cleaning in Miami Beach
Evaporator coil, blower assembly, drain pan, and plenum cleaning using professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush and Nikro. Miami Beach units accumulate salt film on coils faster than mainland systems, which cuts heat-transfer efficiency and raises runtime hours. See scope, written pricing, and the documented photo record on the HVAC Cleaning in Miami Beach page.

BeforeAfterDryer Vent Cleaning in Miami Beach
Dryer vent cleaning in Miami Beach addresses a specific problem: salt-laden marine air from two directions accelerates lint adhesion inside vent walls and corrodes the aluminum or galvanized duct itself, so a vent that would take five years to clog in a drier Midwest city can reach dangerous restriction in three here. Homes from the 1920s through the 1960s often have long, multi-elbow vent runs through irregular ceiling cavities, and every elbow is a lint trap. We run a camera through the full length first, show you the before image, then remove everything down to bare metal with negative-pressure extraction and rotary brushing. This is the work covered by our Dryer Vent Cleaning service line, and every job ends with a written photo record of the inside of your vent.
Dryer Vent Inspection
Signs you need it
Your dryer takes longer than one full cycle to dry a normal load, or the exterior vent flap doesn’t open fully when the dryer runs.
What it costs in Miami Beach
A camera inspection alone runs $75 to $125 in Miami Beach, and that fee is waived if we perform the cleaning on the same visit.
How we do it
We run a high-resolution camera from both the dryer connection and the exterior termination, then show you the footage and write up exactly where each restriction sits.
Lint Removal
Signs you need it
You see lint accumulating around the dryer base or the laundry room feels warmer and more humid than the rest of the home during a cycle.
What it costs in Miami Beach
Full lint removal from a single dryer vent runs $129 to $229 in Miami Beach, depending on vent length and access.
How we do it
We connect a negative-pressure extraction unit at the dryer, feed a rotary brush through the full run to break the lint free, then photograph the inside of the vent before and after so you can see the bare metal.
Vent Rerouting
Signs you need it
Your current vent path exceeds 25 feet or includes more than two elbows, which is common in Miami Beach’s retrofit Art Deco buildings.
What it costs in Miami Beach
Vent rerouting in Miami Beach typically runs $280 to $510, with the final price depending on wall penetrations and access.
How we do it
We map the shortest straight-line path from the dryer to an exterior wall, install rigid metal duct with a maximum of two elbows, and seal every joint with mastic before photographing the finished run.
Bird Guard Installation
Signs you need it
You hear chirping or scratching from the exterior vent opening, or you see nesting material around the termination hood.
What it costs in Miami Beach
A professional-grade bird guard with installation runs $60 to $135 in Miami Beach, including removal of any existing nesting debris.
How we do it
We clear the existing obstruction, mount a galvanized steel guard over the termination, and take a photo of the finished installation as part of your job record.
What Dryer Vent Cleaning Costs in Miami Beach
| Item | Typical range in Miami Beach |
|---|---|
| Dryer vent inspection (waived with cleaning) | $75 - $125 |
| Single dryer vent cleaning with before/after photo record | $129 - $229 |
| Vent rerouting for retrofit or over-length runs | $280 - $510 |
How often should a dryer vent be cleaned in Miami Beach?
Every 12 months, minimum. Miami Beach’s salt-laden air makes lint stick to vent walls and corrodes the duct itself faster than mainland locations, so annual cleaning is the baseline for safety and dryer efficiency here.
Can you clean a dryer vent that runs through a ceiling cavity in an Art Deco building?
Yes. We routinely clean vents running through the irregular ceiling cavities in South Beach’s pre-war buildings, using a camera to map each elbow before extraction begins. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written price.
Duct Repair & Sealing in Miami Beach
Duct repair and sealing in Miami Beach addresses what this island’s climate does to metal and flex-duct alike: salt-laden air from two directions accelerates corrosion, while retrofit-era flex runs through un-insulated ceiling plenums sweat from interior condensation year-round in South Beach’s pre-war buildings. The result is collapsed flex sections, corroded metal joints, and air loss that means your AC runs harder from March through November to hold the same temperature. We locate the failure with a camera, show you the image, and quote a written price before any repair material leaves the truck. This is the work we detail on our Duct Repair & Sealing service page.
Duct Sealing
Signs you need it
Your AC runs almost continuously during summer, but some rooms still feel warm or stuffy even with the supply register open.
What it costs in Miami Beach
Sealing accessible duct joints with mastic runs $1.65 to $3.55 per linear foot in Miami Beach.
How we do it
We locate each leaking joint with a camera or smoke test, clean the surface, apply mastic sealant, and photograph the sealed joint as part of your documented record.
Flex Duct Repair
Signs you need it
You see collapsed or sagging flexible duct in an attic or ceiling cavity, or one room has noticeably weaker airflow than the rest of the home.
What it costs in Miami Beach
Replacing a damaged flex run typically costs $320 to $650 in Miami Beach, depending on length and access.
How we do it
We remove the failed section, install new R-6 insulated flex duct, connect and seal both ends with mastic, then photograph the finished run end-to-end.
Metal Duct Repair
Signs you need it
You notice rust streaks or visible holes in exposed metal ductwork, common in Miami Beach buildings where salt air has been working on the metal for years.
What it costs in Miami Beach
Metal duct repair runs $140 to $310 per 10-foot section in Miami Beach, with prices driven by corrosion extent and access.
How we do it
We patch or replace the corroded section using matching-gauge sheet metal, seal every seam with mastic or foil tape rated for ductwork, and document the repair with photos.
Duct Insulation
Signs you need it
Duct surfaces feel wet to the touch, or you see condensation forming on duct walls in the ceiling cavity, which happens year-round in Miami Beach’s un-insulated pre-war plenums.
What it costs in Miami Beach
Adding insulation to exposed ductwork runs $1.10 to $2.25 per linear foot in Miami Beach plus material.
How we do it
We wrap the duct run with R-6 or R-8 insulation, seal the vapor barrier, and photograph the completed insulation so you can verify the coverage yourself.
What Duct Repair & Sealing Costs in Miami Beach
| Item | Typical range in Miami Beach |
|---|---|
| Duct sealing (per linear foot) | $1.65 - $3.55 |
| Flex duct repair (per run) | $320 - $650 |
| Metal duct repair (per 10-ft section) | $140 - $310 |
Why is duct repair more expensive in Miami Beach than inland Florida?
Access is the main driver. Miami Beach’s Art Deco stock has ductwork routed through irregular ceiling cavities that were never designed for central AC, so repair work requires more time to access and photograph than a mainland home with open attic space.
How do I know the ductwork was actually sealed?
You receive a written photo record of every sealed joint and repaired run, taken by the technician before the access panel goes back on. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written scope.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Miami Beach
Air quality and sanitizing in Miami Beach addresses a problem this barrier island creates for itself: organic debris inside ductwork converts to active mold substrate within weeks because indoor humidity rarely drops below 70%, and salt-laden air from both the Atlantic and Biscayne Bay means the microbial load inside ducts is simply higher here than on the mainland. Art Deco retrofit buildings add heat-driven condensation inside duct runs, which keeps surfaces damp enough to sustain biological growth through every month of the year. We test, document the evidence, apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial, and photograph every step so you can see what was treated and what the result looked like. The full service line, including equipment and treatment options, is on our Air Quality & Sanitizing page.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
You notice a musty or earthy smell when the AC cycles on, or you see visible discoloration around supply registers or on duct surfaces.
What it costs in Miami Beach
Full mold treatment of duct surfaces runs $395 to $850 in Miami Beach, with the final price based on square footage and access.
How we do it
We photograph the affected area, apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial approved for use on HVAC surfaces, then document the treated surface with a second photo after the product has set.
Bacteria Sanitizing
Signs you need it
Your household has recurring respiratory irritation that improves when you leave the home, or the coil and drain pan show visible biological film.
What it costs in Miami Beach
Whole-system bacteria sanitizing runs $325 to $675 in Miami Beach, including the coil, blower, drain pan, and supply plenum.
How we do it
We clean the coil and drain pan first, then apply a hospital-grade sanitizer to all accessible interior surfaces using equipment from Abatement Technologies, and photograph the treated coil before reassembly.
Odor Removal
Signs you need it
Your home holds a stale, damp, or pet-related odor that returns even after airing the space, and the HVAC system distributes it evenly to every room.
What it costs in Miami Beach
Whole-home odor removal runs $300 to $625 in Miami Beach, depending on square footage and the odor source.
How we do it
We locate the odor source inside the duct system or insulation, remove the contaminated material, then run an air scrubber to pull odorant molecules from the air stream and confirm with a photo record.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Your coil and drain pan repeatedly develop biological growth despite regular cleaning, a common issue in Miami Beach’s year-round humid conditions.
What it costs in Miami Beach
UV light installation runs $495 to $925 in Miami Beach, including the unit, mounting, wiring, and verification of lamp intensity at the coil.
How we do it
We mount a UV-C lamp at the coil line so it shines directly on the surfaces most likely to harbor growth, wire it to run with the blower, and photograph the installed lamp and its coverage area.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Miami Beach
| Item | Typical range in Miami Beach |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment on duct surfaces | $395 - $850 |
| Whole-system bacteria sanitizing | $325 - $675 |
| UV light installation at coil | $495 - $925 |
Will sanitizing my ducts once be enough in Miami Beach?
It depends on the water source. If condensation is the driver, sealing and insulation work is required before treatment will hold. We document the evidence and write a scope that addresses the root cause, not just the symptoms.
Do you use anything that requires us to leave the home?
Most treatments are safe with people and pets present after a short set time, but we will tell you exactly what is being applied and give you the product name before work starts. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written price.
