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 Ives Estates, FL
Air duct cleaning in Ives Estates runs between $350 and $600 for a typical single-family home, and the work usually takes four to six hours. What makes Ives Estates different from nearby Miami-Dade communities is the housing stock: most homes here are concrete-block ranches built in the 1970s and early 1980s, with original flex duct systems cooking in attics that hit 130°F or more for months at a time. That heat, combined with year-round humidity, means ducts here degrade differently and need a more thorough approach. Call (323) 918-4345 if you want a written price before anyone touches a register.
Why Ives Estates Homes Are Different
Ives Estates was built out almost entirely between the late 1960s and mid-1980s, which means the majority of homes still have either their original flex duct runs or an early replacement installed under the same constraints. The attics are shallow, the low-slope roofs leave minimal clearance, and the original installers stapled flex duct tight against the roof decking. Over time, that “no room to breathe” configuration restricts airflow and traps condensation around the duct jacket. We regularly pull collapsed inner liners out of these systems, and when the liner fails, fiberglass particles end up circulating into bedrooms and living spaces.
Then there’s the climate. Ives Estates sits just inland from the Atlantic in northeastern Miami-Dade County, with dew points above 70°F for seven months or more each year. Your system runs nearly constantly, moving huge volumes of humid air through aging ductwork. The long flex duct leg that feeds the back bedroom – the one most likely to have separated from its boot fitting in the attic – often goes unnoticed for years. The homeowner pays to cool the attic while mold-laden attic air gets pulled straight into the supply stream. It’s a pattern we see so often in these 1970s ranches that we check that back-bedroom connection on nearly every Ives Estates job, even when the call was for something else.
Our Main Ives Estates Services
Most calls from Ives Estates come down to two jobs: cleaning the HVAC duct system, and clearing dryer vents that haven’t been touched since the lint started backing up. Here’s what each involves locally.
Air Duct Cleaning in Ives Estates
Air duct cleaning here starts with a look at what your specific duct system is doing, because not every Ives Estates ranch was built the same way. Many have flex duct runs that were routed differently from house to house depending on the original contractor. We use Rotobrush and Nikro equipment with HEPA filtration, and our technicians wear shoe covers and lay down drop cloths before any equipment comes inside. If you have kids and pets, which most families here do, that protection matters. Learn more about how we handle this job on the Air Duct Cleaning in Ives Estates page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Ives Estates
Dryer vents in Ives Estates ranches tend to be shorter than in two-story homes, but they still pack lint against the walls fast, especially with the constant humidity holding it in place. We clear the full run from the dryer to the exterior termination, check the flap for proper closure, and confirm the airflow at the end of the job. Written price before we start, every time. Full details on the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Ives Estates page.
