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.

Why Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning Is Marco Island’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been part of the Cedarwell family since 2005, and our reputation in Marco Island has grown through word-of-mouth in neighborhoods like Hideaway Beach, Old Marco, and the Estates at Marco Island. Homeowners here talk to each other, and they notice when a crew wipes their feet, works quietly during nap time, and leaves a photo of the clean-up before walking out the door.
Our response time to Marco Island is typically two to four business days for standard scheduling, and a live person answers the phone 24/7, never a voicemail or chatbot. We know the island’s unique housing stock, the Mackle Brothers-era homes with aging flex ductwork and the newer builds with construction debris still settling in the registers. That local knowledge means we show up with the right tools and the right plan, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Every job carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if something isn’t right, we make it right. Full stop. And we put the price in writing before touching anything, because nobody deserves a surprise on the final invoice.
Air Duct Repair in Marco Island
Air Duct Repair in Marco Island addresses the corrosion, leaks, and structural damage that salt-air infiltration and humidity cause in ductwork faster here than almost anywhere else in Southwest Florida. We see rusted metal trunks, separated flex duct seams, and corroded air handler cabinets in homes barely two years old, especially in properties within a few blocks of the Gulf or the Ten Thousand Islands estuary.
Our repair process starts with a video inspection so you see exactly what we see. Then we provide a written price for the specific repair before any work begins. Typical air duct repair in Marco Island ranges from $280 for a localized seal or patch to $1,200 or more for extensive corrosion remediation in a salt-damaged system.
Corrosion Assessment and Metal Repair
We use cameras from Honeywell and Abatement Technologies to document rust flakes, pitting, and failed galvanizing inside your ducts. For localized damage, we cut out the corroded section and install fresh metal with sealed joints. We never just tape over it and call it good.
Flex Duct Replacement
The original flex duct in many Mackle Brothers-era Marco Island homes has become brittle after decades of salt and humidity exposure. We replace it with modern, insulated flex duct rated for coastal environments, properly supported to prevent sagging and condensation traps.
Ductwork Cleaning in Marco Island
Ductwork Cleaning in Marco Island removes the construction debris, mold colonies, and accumulated particulate that island conditions create faster than homeowners expect. A typical whole-home ductwork cleaning in Marco Island runs $350-$650, with larger homes or systems with heavy construction debris toward the higher end.
We pulled up to a new build on Collier Boulevard in the Marco Island area where the homeowner had been running the system for eight months. Camera inspection showed a thick coat of drywall dust and joint compound on the inside of the main trunk and supply ducts, and the blower motor was already pulling higher amps. We set up negative pressure with HEPA filtration, used agitation tools to break the construction debris loose, and performed source removal on every register and return; the static pressure dropped and airflow at the registers came back to spec.
Source Removal for Construction Debris
Builders often run HVAC during construction without sealing registers, pulling drywall dust and fiberglass particles deep into the system. We perform true source removal, not just vacuuming at the register face, using Rotobrush agitation and Nikro negative-pressure collection to extract debris from the entire duct run.
Mold and Moisture Remediation
Seasonal homes on Marco Island frequently develop black mold colonization during summer vacancy, when thermostats are set to 85°F or higher with no dehumidification running. Our crews regularly find this in October and November cleanings, and we treat it with EPA-registered products, HEPA containment, and thorough drying before sealing the system.
Trusted Brands We Service in Marco Island
We stock parts and service equipment from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies, which means faster turnaround for Marco Island homeowners who don’t have time to wait for mainland supply runs. Our Nikro and Rotobrush cleaning systems are professional-grade, not rental-shop equipment, and we match the right tool to your specific duct material and contamination type. If your Marco Island home has a Honeywell media air cleaner or an Aprilaire whole-house dehumidifier integrated with the duct system, we know how to work around it without disrupting your indoor air quality setup.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Marco Island Homes
- Drywall dust and joint compound in new builds. Builders on Marco Island often leave HVAC running during construction with unsealed registers, coating the entire duct system in fine construction debris that restricts airflow and strains the blower motor.
- Salt-air corrosion of metal duct components. Because Marco Island homes sit within blocks of open saltwater on multiple sides, salt-air infiltration corrodes metal duct components and accelerates mold growth far faster than in Naples, meaning even a two-year-old build can have compromised duct internals.
- Summer mold colonization in seasonal homes. Snowbird properties left vacant with thermostats set high and no dehumidification regularly develop black mold in ducts, discovered only when owners return in fall and notice musty odors or respiratory irritation.
- Aging flex duct in Mackle Brothers-era homes. The late-1960s through 1980s housing stock still common in neighborhoods like Old Marco retains original flex ductwork that degrades quickly in the salt-humid environment, collapsing or separating at seams.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Marco Island
Most new Marco Island homes need their first duct cleaning within 6-12 months of handover, not the several years owners assume. Construction debris settles in supply and return ducts during the build, and salt-air infiltration begins corroding metal components immediately. Call (323) 918-4345 for a free inspection and written estimate.
Marco Island’s fully surrounded barrier-island geography exposes every property to persistent salt-air infiltration from multiple directions, accelerating corrosion and mold growth faster than mainland Naples. New construction debris compounds the problem by providing particulate matter that traps moisture against duct walls. We see two-year-old Marco Island builds with corrosion that takes five years to develop inland.
Builders should have sealed all registers during construction, run temporary filtration on the HVAC system, and performed full source removal cleaning before handover. Many only vacuum visible debris at the register face, leaving drywall dust and fiberglass deep in the trunk lines. We document what’s actually in there so you know what you’re breathing.
Salt air corrodes galvanized metal in ductwork and air handler cabinets, causing rust flakes that contaminate airflow and pitting that eventually creates leaks. The corrosion is hidden from view until a camera inspection reveals it, often years before you’d notice performance loss. Regular inspection and early repair prevent the costly full-system replacement that unchecked salt damage eventually requires.
Ductwork cleaning removes debris and contamination from inside the ducts; air duct repair fixes physical damage like corrosion, separated seams, or collapsed flex duct. A new Marco Island home often needs both: cleaning to remove construction debris, and repair to address early salt-air corrosion before it spreads. We assess both during our initial video inspection and give you a written price for whatever your specific system needs.
