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 between $395 and $885 for a typical home, depending on the number of systems, duct material, and whether mold remediation is involved. We’re Paul Adeyemi’s team at Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning, and we’ve been cleaning ducts in South Florida’s masonry homes long enough to know that Miami Shores is its own animal. Tight 1930s attic cavities, retrofitted flex duct from the 70s, and salt-heavy Biscayne Bay air mean the job here is less about dust and more about what that dust has been absorbing for forty years. Call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll walk you through exactly what your home needs and what it will cost before anyone touches a vent.
Why Miami Shores Homes Are Different
Miami Shores was built as a planned village in the 1930s through 1950s, dense with concrete-block Mediterranean Revival homes that were never designed for central air. When AC arrived decades later, contractors wedged duct runs into attic cavities and chases that were already tight, which means the typical Miami Shores system is undersized, poorly sealed, and saturated by South Florida humidity for ten or eleven months a year without a dry-out period. Salt-laden air off Biscayne Bay infiltrates every gap, and because the AC essentially never stops running, supply and return plenums stay damp long enough for mold and mildew to colonize faster than in drier inland markets. We see fibrous duct board from the 1970s and 1980s in at least half the homes we open up, and that material breaks down faster here than anywhere else in the county.
There’s also a permitting layer most homeowners don’t think about. Miami Shores Village runs its own Historic Preservation Board, separate from Miami-Dade County. If your home sits in a designated historic district and your ductwork needs more than a clean, a permit and design review may apply. We flag that early so there are no surprises mid-project.
Our Main Miami Shores Services
Most Miami Shores calls come down to two things: ducts that are holding too much damp, dusty history, and dryer vents that are quietly filling with lint behind the wall. Each service has its own page with pricing, process, and FAQ for Miami Shores specifically.
Air Duct Cleaning in Miami Shores
In Miami Shores, air duct cleaning usually means removing years of compacted dust, construction debris, and the kind of biological growth that thrives in a 1950s retrofitted plenum that never fully dries. We run Rotobrush agitation through every supply and return, pull the registers, clean the boots, and document what came out before and after with photos. If your home has original masonry chases with old flex duct, we’ll check for compression and tears that let humid air in. Full details, including what pushes price higher in this housing stock, are on the Air Duct Cleaning in Miami Shores page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Miami Shores
Dryer vent cleaning in Miami Shores often means a run that exits through a masonry wall or up through an old roof chase, collecting lint around bends and at the termination point. In concrete-block construction, the vent path is usually longer and more convoluted than in frame homes, which gives lint more surface area to cling to. We clear the entire run with a Nikro rotary brush, inspect the termination for proper airflow, and leave the laundry area as clean as we found it. The Dryer Vent Cleaning in Miami Shores page covers pricing and what affects it.

What pushes a Miami Shores quote higher is almost always the same three things: access (a 1930s attic with a 24-inch hatch changes the labor math), the presence of degraded fibrous duct board that needs careful handling rather than aggressive agitation, and mold growth that has reached the plenum walls. We give you a written price before any work starts, and that number doesn’t move unless you approve a change in scope first.

What Miami Shores Customers Say
"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."
- Bonnie Vo"Spotless work. They laid drop cloths everywhere and I was honestly impressed there was zero mess at the end. Showed me the dirt they pulled out so I could see it was worth it."
