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 Cutler Bay, FL
Dryer vent cleaning in Cutler Bay runs $129-$189 for a standard single-vent home, and most jobs take under two hours. What sets Cutler Bay apart is the housing stock itself: a huge share of homes were rebuilt between 1993 and 1997 after Hurricane Andrew, and those attic-mounted flex-duct and duct-board systems are now all aging out at the same time. That means a routine dryer vent call here frequently uncovers duct damage that needs a separate conversation. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll give you a written price before any panel comes off.
Why Cutler Bay Homes Are Different
Cutler Bay sits in a moisture corridor with Biscayne Bay to the east and the Everglades to the west. Humidity stays high year-round, and AC systems run ten to eleven months annually. The temperature difference between cool supply air and superheated attic ductwork, which routinely hits 140°F or more in summer, creates persistent condensation inside duct walls. That steady moisture makes biological growth an ongoing problem here, not a one-time event.
The bigger issue is what Hurricane Andrew left behind. The mass rebuilding wave of 1993-1997 produced thousands of CBS homes with air handlers in hot attics and ducts built from flex duct or pressed fiberglass duct board. Those materials are now twenty-five to thirty years old. In Cutler Bay’s humidity, duct board interior facing delaminates, releasing fiberglass particles into living spaces while exposing raw foam that mold can colonize. We regularly find that a planned cleaning job becomes a repair or replacement conversation the moment the camera goes in. This is the single most important reason homeowners in Cutler Bay should request photographic documentation of what’s actually inside their ducts before paying for a cleaning.
Our Main Cutler Bay Services
Cutler Bay homeowners call us most often about two things: the ducts that carry conditioned air through the house, and the HVAC equipment that conditions it in the first place. Both jobs look different here because of the post-Andrew duct board and the year-round AC runtime.
Air Duct Cleaning in Cutler Bay
Whole-system air duct cleaning in Cutler Bay typically runs $349-$589 depending on home size and the number of returns. During a standard Air Duct Cleaning in Cutler Bay job, we photograph every duct run before and after, and we deliver that photo record with your written scope of work. In this climate, we’re specifically looking for delaminated duct board, moisture staining at elbows, and biological growth on the interior facing.
HVAC Cleaning in Cutler Bay
HVAC cleaning here means cleaning the blower wheel, evaporator coil, and condensate pan, plus sanitizing the plenum. Given how many months a year Cutler Bay systems run, coil buildup happens faster than in most of the country. Our HVAC Cleaning in Cutler Bay service includes a documented photo record of the coil before and after, so you can see exactly what was removed.

BeforeAfterDryer Vent Cleaning in Cutler Bay
Dryer vent cleaning in Cutler Bay usually costs between $129 and $189 for a single-vent home, with a written price confirmed before work starts. Homes rebuilt after Hurricane Andrew often have long vent runs snaking through hot attics, and twenty-five years of lint accumulation in that heat is a fire load, not just an efficiency issue. We work under Haven Standard Clause 1: a written price before any panel comes off. If you want the full scope of what this service covers, see our Dryer Vent Cleaning page.
Dryer Vent Inspection
Signs you need it
Clothes take more than one cycle to dry, or the dryer feels hot to the touch while running.
What it costs in Cutler Bay
A standalone dryer vent inspection runs $79-$119, credited toward cleaning if you proceed.
How we do it
We run a camera through the full vent run, measure airflow at the exterior termination, and photograph any restriction we find.
Lint Removal
Signs you need it
The exterior vent flap barely opens during a cycle, or the laundry room smells like hot fabric.
What it costs in Cutler Bay
Full lint removal is $129-$189 for a standard single-vent home; long second-floor runs add $40-$70.
How we do it
We brush the entire run, pull loosened debris with negative-pressure extraction, and finish with a camera verification pass.
What Dryer Vent Cleaning Costs in Cutler Bay
| Item | Typical range in Cutler Bay |
|---|---|
| Standalone inspection | $79-$119 |
| Standard cleaning (single vent) | $129-$189 |
| Long or multi-story vent run add-on | $40-$70 |
How often should dryer vents be cleaned in Cutler Bay?
Every twelve months is the safe interval here because AC and dryer runtime overlap for most of the year. Homes with long attic runs or multiple pets should consider every six to nine months. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll give you a written price.
Why does my dryer vent keep clogging faster in Cutler Bay?
High ambient humidity causes lint to stick to vent walls rather than blow through, and attic-heated metal condenses that moisture readily. Post-Andrew homes with long, multi-elbow runs compound the problem. Call (806) 606-6902 for a camera inspection and a flat price.
Duct Repair & Sealing in Cutler Bay
Duct repair and sealing in Cutler Bay is rarely a small job, because the dominant failure here is delaminating duct board from the 1993-1997 rebuild era. A basic mastic seal at accessible joints runs $150-$350, but replacing a duct board section starts around $220 and full replacement is $1,200-$3,500 for a typical system. The camera record we capture during Duct Repair & Sealing shows you exactly what the interior looks like before we touch anything.
Duct Sealing
Signs you need it
Some rooms never reach set temperature, or your electric bill climbs every summer despite no change in usage.
What it costs in Cutler Bay
Accessible duct sealing at supply plenum and register boxes runs $150-$350 for a typical single-family home.
How we do it
We locate leaks, seal them with mastic and metal-backed tape, and pressure-test the difference with a duct blaster.
Duct Insulation
Signs you need it
Supply air feels warmer than it should at the register, or condensate drips from ductwork in the attic.
What it costs in Cutler Bay
Reinsulating accessible attic duct runs runs $350-$900, depending on length and existing insulation condition.
How we do it
We remove degraded insulation, wrap runs in R-6 or R-8 duct wrap, and photograph the finished work.
What Duct Repair & Sealing Costs in Cutler Bay
| Item | Typical range in Cutler Bay |
|---|---|
| Mastic sealing (accessible areas) | $150-$350 |
| Duct board section replacement | $220-$450 per section |
| Full duct replacement | $1,200-$3,500 |
Is repairing duct board worth it, or should I replace it?
Once duct board interior facing starts delaminating in this humidity, patching buys you a year or two, not ten. If the camera shows raw foam exposed in multiple runs, replacement is the honest answer. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written recommendation with photos.
Can duct sealing actually lower my electric bill in Cutler Bay?
Yes, and it’s measurable. Sealing leaks in post-Andrew duct systems typically reduces conditioned air loss by 15 to 25 percent depending on the leak area. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll show you the blower-door numbers.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Cutler Bay
Air quality work in Cutler Bay is driven almost entirely by the town’s moisture corridor position and the aging duct board stock. Mold treatment on a targeted coil or plenum area runs $250-$450, while whole-system sanitizing is $450-$850 depending on square footage. Our Air Quality & Sanitizing work starts with a moisture and camera assessment, because sanitizing over a water source just means doing it again next season.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Musty smell comes from the registers only when the AC runs, not when it’s off.
What it costs in Cutler Bay
Targeted mold treatment on the coil, plenum, and adjacent ductwork runs $250-$450.
How we do it
We physically remove visible growth, apply EPA-registered antimicrobial to affected surfaces, and document every step photographically.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Mold or mildew recurs on the coil within a year of cleaning, a pattern we see often in Cutler Bay’s runtime climate.
What it costs in Cutler Bay
UV light installation runs $450-$900, including the unit, mounting, and electrical connection.
How we do it
We mount the lamp at the coil face, wire it to run with the blower, and confirm exposure pattern with a meter.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Cutler Bay
| Item | Typical range in Cutler Bay |
|---|---|
| Targeted mold treatment | $250-$450 |
| Whole-system sanitizing | $450-$850 |
| UV light installation | $450-$900 |
Will sanitizing fix mold in my ducts permanently?
Only if the moisture source is eliminated first. In Cutler Bay, that usually means sealing condensation leaks or replacing saturated duct board sections. Sanitizing over active moisture buys weeks, not years. Call (806) 606-6902 for an assessment with photos.
Are UV lights worth it in Cutler Bay’s climate?
For homes with recurrent coil mold and year-round AC runtime, yes. A properly placed UV lamp reduces biological regrowth on the coil and plenum, which is exactly where Cutler Bay systems consistently grow it. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written quote.

- Suzanne B."The dryer vent was almost completely blocked with lint. They showed me the photograph and I understood immediately why the dryer had been running twice."
- Lucia M."They found a disconnected duct in the crawl space that had been dumping conditioned air under the house for years. Photographed it, quoted the repair, fixed it."
