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.

AfterFast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Kendall
Air duct cleaning in Kendall, FL typically runs $350-$650 for a whole-home residential system and is scheduled by appointment with a written price confirmed before any work begins. Most Kendall homes need service every 3-5 years, though the Everglades-edge humidity in western subdivisions can push that interval shorter. We’re Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning, and our Air Duct Cleaning in Kendall crews work from our Miami office to reach homes from Kendale Lakes to The Hammocks without the scheduling delays that come from dispatching out of Broward or northern Dade.
We’ve been in Kendall living rooms since 2005. We know the concrete-block tract homes with attic flex duct that bakes to 140°F in July. We know the musty smell that hits when the AC kicks on after a rainy season. And we know the toddler napping down the hall while we’re working, which is why our Rotobrush and Nikro equipment runs quieter than the truck-mounted rigs some crews haul in. Call (323) 918-4345 for a free estimate. We’ll give you the exact price in writing before we touch anything.
Why Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning Is Kendall’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Kendall homeowners call us back because we treat the house like it’s our own. Our background-checked, uniformed technicians work to the Cedarwell C.A.R.E. values: shoe covers and drop cloths from the moment we walk in, quiet tools during nap hours, and pet-safe product choices where available. Every visit gets a written price upfront, every time, with no exceptions.
The 365-Day Done Right Promise isn’t a slogan we mention if you ask. It’s stamped on every job. If something isn’t right, we make it right. Full stop. That promise has kept us in the Cedarwell family since 2005, and it’s why Kendall families with kids and pets specifically request our crews.
A live person answers our phone 24/7. Not a voicemail tree. Not a chatbot. A real human who can schedule your Kendall appointment, confirm your price range, and note that your golden retriever gets anxious around strangers so the crew knows to move slowly through the foyer. Before we leave, we send you a photo of the clean-up. Visual proof your home is left better than we found it.
HVAC Duct Cleaning in Kendall
HVAC Duct Cleaning in Kendall means complete source removal from the air handler cabinet through every supply and return trunk, branch, and register, not just a vacuum around the vent covers. In Kendall’s market, a typical residential HVAC duct cleaning runs $450-$750 depending on system size, accessibility, and whether the home has the 1970s-1990s flex duct common to subdivisions like Kendale Lakes and The Hammocks. Most Kendall systems we see need this service every 3-4 years, though homes on the Everglades edge may notice faster contamination buildup.
Our process starts with a video inspection when the homeowner reports musty odors or visible debris. We seal registers, apply negative pressure at the air handler, and use Rotobrush agitation tools to dislodge buildup from duct walls while HEPA filtration captures it. Nothing gets redistributed into your living space.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts push conditioned air into your rooms. In Kendall homes, these runs often sag in attic spaces where 140°F heat degrades the flex duct liner, creating cracks that pull in humid attic air and trap condensation. We clean the full length, inspect for liner failure, and document any sag points that need repair before they become replacement jobs.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the air handler. They’re the dirtiest runs in most Kendall systems because they collect pet dander, pollen, and the fine organic particulates that drift in from Everglades-edge wetlands. Our Nikro negative-pressure systems capture this debris at the source instead of pushing it through your filter and back into the supply side.
Vent Cleaning in Kendall
Vent Cleaning in Kendall addresses the visible supply and return registers, the boot connections behind walls, and the first several feet of duct branch that homeowners can actually see and smell. A typical vent cleaning appointment in Kendall runs $180-$340 for register-level service, or $350-$550 when bundled with full system cleaning. Many Kendale Lakes and The Hammocks homeowners start here when they notice dark staining around ceiling vents or a persistent musty odor that air fresheners won’t touch.
We don’t just wipe covers. We remove each register, clean the boot and first branch with agitation tools, and HEPA-vacuum the surrounding drywall and insulation. For homes with kids or pets, we note which rooms need extra attention. The nursery vent usually needs more than the guest room.
Register and Grille Detailing
Plastic and metal registers trap skin cells, cooking oils, and pet hair in their fin arrays. We soak and hand-clean each cover, inspect for broken damper tabs, and reinstall them level and secure. No rattling. No gaps pulling attic air.
Boot and Branch Access Cleaning
The boot, the sheet-metal box behind your register, is where condensation first pools in humid Kendall attics. We clean it thoroughly and check for water staining that indicates upstream duct damage. Finding it early saves the cost of full flex duct replacement later.
Trusted Brands We Service in Kendall
Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning stocks parts and maintains equipment from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies for Kendall homeowners, which means faster turnaround when your system needs component attention alongside cleaning. We don’t show up with rental-shop vacuums. Our Rotobrush and Nikro systems are professional-grade, designed for source removal under NADCA standards, and maintained on strict schedules so they perform consistently in Kendall’s demanding humidity. When we find a failing Honeywell media filter or Aprilaire humidifier pad during a clean, we can often replace it same visit rather than scheduling a return trip that costs you another morning home from work.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Kendall Homes
- Mold migration through flex duct insulation. Our crew pulled a section of attic-mounted flex duct from a 1980s CBS tract home in Kendale Lakes and found the outer jacket visibly darkened by mold that had migrated through the saturated insulation. The system was running continuously through the rainy season, and the duct liner had cracked at a sag point, pulling in Everglades-edge moisture. We ran source removal with agitation tools under negative pressure, HEPA-filtered the air handler cabinet, and the homeowner’s musty odor complaint cleared within days.
- Fogging “sanitiser” upsells that mask without fixing. Fogging a sanitiser into ducts without source removal masks odor for a week but does nothing about the mold growing through saturated flex duct insulation, which is the actual problem in Kendall’s Everglades-edge humidity. We don’t sell fogging as a standalone service because we’ve seen the callbacks.
- Negative pressure skipped by low-price competitors. Skipping negative pressure and HEPA filtration during the clean just redistributes mold spores and wetland organic particulates through the living space instead of capturing them. We seal and pressurize every system before agitation starts.
- Sagged and cracked flex duct ignored. Attic flex duct that has sagged and cracked under 140°F+ attic heat develops liner cracks where condensation and biological growth start. A surface-only vent cleaning never reaches them. We inspect accessible trunk and branch runs and show you what we find.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Kendall, FL
Whole-home air duct cleaning in Kendall typically costs $350-$650 for residential systems up to 2,500 square feet, with larger homes or systems with extensive contamination ranging to $850. HVAC duct cleaning specifically, including full supply and return trunk cleaning with branch lines, runs $450-$750. Vent cleaning alone, focused on registers and accessible boots, runs $180-$340. We charge one flat price per system, agreed in writing before work starts. No per-vent pricing. No add-ons once the van is in your driveway.
What moves the price: system size, number of air handlers, accessibility of attic ductwork, and whether video inspection reveals damage requiring repair referral. Homes in The Hammocks and western Kendall sometimes need more time due to heavier biological loading from Everglades moisture. We tell you exactly where you fall in the range before we start.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Kendall
Kendall’s inland position against the Everglades means homes in subdivisions like The Hammocks and Kendale Lakes sit in a humidity envelope that drives mold colonization through attic-mounted flex duct insulation from the inside out, a presentation our techs see far more often here than in sea-breeze-buffered coastal Miami-Dade neighborhoods. The lack of consistent ocean airflow lets moisture accumulate, and 1970s-1990s flex duct degrades faster under the combination. If you smell mustiness when the AC cycles, call (323) 918-4345 for a video inspection.
No. Fogging masks odor temporarily but does not remove the source of contamination, and in Kendall’s humidity, the mold growing through saturated flex duct insulation returns within days or weeks. Real cleaning requires mechanical agitation and source removal under negative pressure. We don’t sell fogging as a standalone service because we’ve handled too many callbacks from homeowners who paid for it elsewhere. Call (323) 918-4345 for an honest assessment of what your system actually needs.
Visible darkening on the outer jacket of attic flex duct, musty odors that persist after cleaning, or sections that have sagged and cracked at support points usually indicate replacement is needed rather than cleaning alone. We video-inspect accessible runs and show you the footage before recommending either path. Cleaning runs $350-$650; replacement is a separate quote we can coordinate. Call (323) 918-4345 to schedule an inspection in Kendale Lakes, The Hammocks, or anywhere in Kendall.
Every 3-4 years for most Kendall homes, and every 2-3 years for homes on the Everglades edge in The Hammocks or western Kendale Lakes where humidity drives faster biological growth. Homes with multiple pets, recent renovations, or family members with respiratory sensitivity may need shorter intervals. We don’t push annual cleans unless video inspection shows active contamination. Call (323) 918-4345 for a free evaluation of your specific system.
Real cleaning involves sealed registers, negative pressure at the air handler, mechanical agitation with brushes or whips, and HEPA filtration to capture dislodged debris without redistributing it. You should refuse to pay for fogging without source removal, per-vent pricing that balloons the invoice, or any service that won’t show you before-and-after video or photo evidence. At Morton’s, we provide a written price upfront, photo documentation of the clean-up, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise on every Kendall job. Call (323) 918-4345 to book.
