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 usually costs between $300 and $600 for a full single-family system, and it’s a job shaped by this neighborhood’s specific history. Homes here fall into two groups: original 1950s-1970s concrete block houses still running their first galvanized ductwork, and early-1990s rebuilds whose flex-duct systems are now 30 years old. Both types spend every summer in attics that top 140°F, and both pull in the humidity that Miami-Dade never really turns off. Call Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning at (323) 918-4345 and we’ll give you a written price before anything starts.
Why Palmetto Estates Homes Are Different
Palmetto Estates sits in the Hurricane Andrew ground-zero zone of southern Miami-Dade. That matters for ductwork because the storm split this neighborhood’s housing stock into two very different generations. The pre-Andrew homes, mostly CBS construction from the 1950s through 1970s, survived the storm structurally but many were never re-ducted. We open supply plenums in these houses and find 40- and 50-year-old sheet metal lined with biological growth the homeowner never suspected, because the AC still blows cold and masks the problem behind adequate refrigerant charge. The post-Andrew rebuilds brought flex-duct systems that are now aging out all at once. These runs have spent 30-plus summers in attics that routinely exceed 140°F, which collapses and delaminates the liners and opens gaps that pull raw attic air, fiberglass particles and all, straight into the living space. This combination of storm-era construction and extreme attic heat is specific to this pocket of Miami-Dade. It’s not the same job in Kendall or Cutler Bay.
One more thing worth knowing: Palmetto Estates is inland from Biscayne Bay with no coastal breeze to buffer it. Relative humidity rarely drops below 60%, even in the so-called dry season. That moisture infiltrates ductwork continuously, and it’s why we see mold and dust-mite buildup here at a pace that makes annual cleaning a practical decision rather than an optional extra.
Our Main Palmetto Estates Services
Homeowners in Palmetto Estates call us most often about two things: the air ducts that move conditioned air through the house, and the dryer vent that has to push hot, humid exhaust out of the home. Both jobs are detailed below, each with its own dedicated Palmetto Estates page.
Air Duct Cleaning in Palmetto Estates
Our Air Duct Cleaning in Palmetto Estates covers the full supply and return system, including the plenums, registers, and the interior of the duct runs. In this neighborhood we regularly encounter pre-Andrew galvanized plenums so corroded by humidity that the interior sheet metal is black with growth, and flex-duct insulation wraps that have become moisture-saturated mats. We use Rotobrush and Nikro equipment to agitate and extract what’s built up, and we photograph the clean-up before we leave. That’s the baseline.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Palmetto Estates
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Palmetto Estates clears the entire vent path from the dryer connection to the exterior termination. In Palmetto Estates, mid-century CBS homes often have longer-than-typical vent runs that bend through thick block walls, and every extra foot and turn holds more lint. A clogged dryer vent is a real fire hazard, so we check airflow before and after, remove what’s packed inside, and confirm the vent drafts freely. Pet hair from dogs and cats makes this job especially necessary in this neighborhood.

Brands We Service in Palmetto Estates
Our technicians in Palmetto Estates work with professional equipment, not rental gear. We clean systems built around Abatement Technologies, Guardsman, and Rotobrush components, and because many of the homes here have thirty-year-old flex-duct, we keep replacement parts stocked and ready locally. You can read about the equipment on our brands page. Turnaround on common parts for pre-Andrew and post-Andrew systems is usually same day.

What pushes the price up in Palmetto Estates is access. Attics in this neighborhood are hot, tight, and often lined with forty-year-old insulation that has to be worked around carefully. A pre-Andrew home with original galvanized ductwork typically takes longer than a 1990s rebuild with flex-duct. Whatever the job, you get a written price before any work starts, and that’s the number on the invoice.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Palmetto Estates
Most single-family homes in Palmetto Estates take between 3 and 5 hours. Pre-Andrew homes with original galvanized ductwork tend to run longer because of access issues in tight, hot attics. We confirm the time frame on the phone and again before work starts.
No. Air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning are maintenance work, not construction, so no Miami-Dade County permit is required. That said, if we find damaged ductwork that needs replacement, that work typically doesn’t require a permit either, but we’ll tell you exactly what we found before anything gets changed.
Yes. We work around nap schedules, use quieter tools when we can, and keep pet-safe product choices where available. Our technicians wear shoe covers and lay down drop cloths, and we’ll show you a photo of the clean-up before the crew leaves.

What Palmetto Estates Customers Say
"New house, old dusty ducts. They were gentle in the house, laid down drop cloths, and double checked every register was sealed back up. Air smells fresh now."
- Scott Hemmings"Friendly, calm crew that clearly cared about the house. Covered their shoes, protected the floors, and double checked they'd closed up every vent cover properly. Would have them back."
- Omar Zaid"Ducts and dryer vent both. They put runners down the whole hall and wore booties. Spotless after, and they showed me photos of what came out. Worth every penny."
