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 Miami Shores’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been part of the Cedarwell family since 2005, and our technicians have cleaned ducts in Miami Shores homes from the Bayfront area to the streets off NE 2nd Avenue. Miami Shores customers tell us they chose us because we show up in uniform, put on shoe covers before we step inside, and hand them a written price before touching any equipment.
Our crew knows the village’s housing stock. We’ve crawled through tight attic chases in concrete-block Mediterranean Revival homes where 1980s flex duct was wedged in with no room to breathe. That matters when you’re deciding who to let into your home. We don’t alarm you with scare tactics. We show you what we find, explain what it means for your airflow and your bill, and let you decide.
Every visit follows the Cedarwell C.A.R.E. values: shoe covers and drop cloths from the moment we arrive, quieter tools during nap hours when kids are down the hall, and pet-safe product choices where available. A live person answers our phone 24/7, and every job ends with a photo of the clean-up before we leave, so you see your floors and furniture exactly as we found them.
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Miami Shores
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Miami Shores covers office suites, retail spaces, medical waiting rooms, and small professional buildings throughout the village and along Biscayne Boulevard corridors. We use Rotobrush and Nikro commercial-grade equipment to remove accumulated particulate from supply and return trunk lines, with negative-pressure containment to protect occupied spaces during business hours. A typical commercial system in Miami Shores runs $800-$2,400 depending on square footage, access complexity, and whether video inspection reveals degraded duct board that needs section replacement.
Scheduled Cleaning for Occupied Buildings
We work around your hours. For Miami Shores medical offices and professional suites, we schedule early morning or evening sessions so patients and clients never walk into a work zone. Our crew isolates each zone with temporary barriers and runs HEPA-filtered exhaust so dust doesn’t migrate into clean areas.
Post-Renovation and Turnover Cleans
When a Miami Shores commercial space changes hands or finishes build-out, construction debris sits in ducts for the next tenant to breathe. We pull it out with source-removal agitation and vacuum, then provide before-and-after video so property managers document the condition for lease records.
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Miami Shores
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Miami Shores start with understanding what kind of house we’re walking into. Most of the village’s residential stock is concrete-block Mediterranean Revival construction from the 1930s through 1950s, built long before central air conditioning existed. When AC arrived decades later, ductwork was retrofitted into attic cavities and chases never engineered for it. That history shapes every clean we perform. A typical full residential system in Miami Shores runs $350-$650, with video inspection and sealing work quoted separately if we find crushed or disconnected runs.
Residential Supply and Return Cleaning
We clean both sides of the system, not just the vents you can see. Supply ducts push cooled air into your rooms; return ducts pull it back, and in Miami Shores’s humid climate, the return side is often where we find the worst mold colonization. Our Nikro and Rotobrush equipment agitates debris at the source while negative-pressure vacuum captures it before it enters your living space.
Full System Cleaning with Video Inspection
Before we start, we feed a camera through your trunk lines. In Miami Shores’s older homes, we’re looking for 1970s-1990s flex duct and fibrous duct board that has absorbed 40-60 years of near-100% relative humidity bay air. When we find it, we show you. Then we quote sealing or section replacement if needed, with a written price before any additional work begins.

Trusted Brands We Service in Miami Shores
We carry professional-grade equipment and replacement components from Nikro, Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies, not rental-shop vacuums with brushes duct-taped to the end. For Miami Shores customers, that means when we find a failed Honeywell electronic air cleaner or an Aprilaire media cabinet that needs new filtration during a duct clean, we’ve got the parts on the truck or can source them fast. No waiting two weeks while your AC runs through a gap in the return plenum. Our tools are matched to the job: Nikro HEPA vacuums for containment, Rotobrush agitation systems for source removal, and Abatement Technologies portable air scrubbers when we’re working in occupied homes with kids or pets present.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Miami Shores Homes
- Mold-colonized duct board in retrofitted attic chases. Miami Shores’s 1970s-1990s flex duct and fibrous duct board was never meant to sit in near-100% humidity year after year. We regularly pull out runs that are structurally intact but coated in active mildew, particularly on the return side pulling bay air.
- Crushed or disconnected flex duct in tight masonry cavities. The original 1930s-1950s homes weren’t built with HVAC chases. When installers squeezed flex duct into spaces too small, it kinked, tore at seams, or pulled free entirely. A clean alone won’t fix airflow; we quote sealing or re-run after we show you the camera footage.
- Salt-laden humid air infiltrating through every gap. Because Miami Shores sits immediately west of Biscayne Bay, salt aerosol rides the humidity straight into duct leaks. With AC running 10-12 months annually, supply and return plenums never get a dry-out period, so any gap keeps re-inoculating the system.
- Undersized returns choking modern equipment. Original retrofit ductwork was sized for smaller tonnage than today’s heat pumps. We see systems where the return is so restricted the air handler is starving, raising humidity and energy bills even when the ducts are technically “clean.”
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Miami Shores, FL
Here’s what honest pricing looks like for our Air Duct Cleaning work in Miami Shores. A typical residential full-system clean runs $350-$650 for a single air handler with 10-20 vents. Commercial properties start at $800 and range to $2,400 for multi-zone systems or buildings over 5,000 square feet. Video inspection adds $150-$250 if you want to see inside the trunk lines before deciding on additional work. Duct sealing with mastic and mechanical fasteners runs $400-$900 when we find disconnected or poorly sealed joints in Miami Shores’s older retrofitted systems.
We don’t do per-vent teaser pricing that triples once we’re in your driveway. We don’t do coupon bait-and-switch. One flat price per system, agreed in writing before work starts, every time. What we quote is what you pay. Call (323) 918-4345 for an exact figure on your home. Estimates are free, and we’ll ask about your home’s age and AC installation history so we bring the right equipment and enough time.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Miami Shores
Duct cleaning itself doesn’t require a permit, but duct replacement or significant modification in a Miami Shores Village-designated historic home may require a village permit and design review through the independent Historic Preservation Board. This is separate from Miami-Dade County permitting and doesn’t apply in unincorporated neighboring areas. If our camera inspection shows collapsed or mold-saturated duct board that needs re-running, we’ll explain whether your property falls under village historic designation and what steps are involved. Call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll check your address against village maps during the estimate.
Miami Shores sits immediately west of Biscayne Bay, so salt-laden air at near-100% relative humidity infiltrates any duct gap year-round, and with AC running 10-12 months annually, the system never gets a dry-out period to halt colonization. Inland markets with cooler winters and lower baseline humidity see far less active mildew inside duct board. Our crews carry Abatement Technologies HEPA air scrubbers specifically for Miami Shores jobs where mold is likely. Call (323) 918-4345 if you smell mildew when the AC kicks on.
We typically find 1970s-1990s flex duct and fibrous duct board wedged into attic chases and cavities never engineered for HVAC, often crushed, disconnected, or actively mold-colonized from decades of humidity exposure. Our crew was called to a 1941 Mediterranean Revival home off NE 2nd Avenue where the return side was pulling musty bay air; camera inspection showed collapsed 1980s flex duct and moldy duct board wedged into an attic chase that was never built for HVAC. We cut out the degraded runs, did source removal under negative pressure with HEPA filtration back to the air handler, and the homeowner finally stopped smelling mildew when the AC kicked on. Call (323) 918-4345 to schedule your own inspection.
Cleaning restores airflow and removes accumulated debris, but in Miami Shores’s retrofitted masonry homes, we often find disconnected joints and gaps where salt-laden bay air keeps re-entering the system. Sealing with mastic and mechanical fasteners is the only way to stop that infiltration cycle. We quote sealing separately after camera inspection, with a written price before any additional work begins, so you decide based on what we actually find in your specific home.
We isolate each vent with containment barriers, run Nikro negative-pressure HEPA vacuums at the trunk line, and place Abatement Technologies portable air scrubbers in occupied rooms when kids or pets are present. Shoe covers and drop cloths protect your floors from the moment we arrive, and we use quieter tool settings during nap hours. A photo of the clean-up goes to you before we leave, so you see exactly how we left your home. Call (323) 918-4345 to schedule.
