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.

We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Garrison Partners family, and we’ve been dispatching crews from our Miami office to homes and condos from Little Havana to Miami Beach since 2004. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team knows the difference between a simple through-wall vent in a Coral Gables ranch and a shared vertical chase in a Brickell high-rise. That local knowledge matters, because the wrong approach to a condo system leaves lint packed where you can’t see it.
Miami’s humidity changes everything. A dryer vent here isn’t just a lint problem; it’s a moisture problem. When humid air meets lint, the result is a dense, sticky mat that standard brushes smear against duct walls instead of removing. Our crews use Rotobrush rotary systems and Nikro negative-air machines to break that material loose and pull it out completely, not push it deeper.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Miami’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We serve Miami under The Garrison Standard, which means we arrive inside the quoted window, price the job in writing before touching anything, and leave the site clean. No exceptions. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every job: if the work fails within a year, we return and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. You know who’s walking into your home before they arrive. Phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No voicemail loops, no callback queues, no waiting until Monday for someone to pick up.
We’ve built our reputation in this market on operational specifics, not adjectives. Written prices. Written guarantees. Equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Guardsman filtration products, the same tools commercial crews use, explained in plain terms on every job. Homeowners in Miami Beach, Coral Gables, and Key Biscayne call us because they’ve already dealt with no-shows, prices that jumped at the door, or crews who left a mess and disappeared.
Dryer Vent Repair in Miami
Dryer Vent Repair in Miami addresses the mechanical failures that cleaning alone won’t fix: crushed or disconnected transition ducts behind the dryer, damaged vent caps that let rain and humid air back into the system, and sagging flex runs that trap lint in low spots. In Miami’s condo market, repair often means replacing sections of rigid duct that have corroded from years of salt-air exposure near the coast, or rerouting vents that terminate in locations now blocked by building additions.
Repair costs in Miami run $180 – $420 for most single-family jobs, and $250 – $550 for condo units where access requires coordination with building management. We diagnose the failure before quoting, and the price is written down before any work starts.
When Repair Beats Replacement
A separated duct joint behind a dryer in a Hialeah tract home is a 30-minute fix with proper foil tape and a clamp. Replacing the entire run would waste your money. Our techs check every connection point with a borescope before recommending anything.
Vent Rerouting for Blocked Terminations
Some Miami homes, especially older properties near Biscayne Boulevard, have dryer vents that terminate under covered patios or against walls added decades after construction. We reroute to code-compliant exterior locations using rigid metal duct, not the flex line that came with the house.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company in Miami
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company services in Miami must account for a building stock unlike most U.S. markets: single-family homes built before 1994 with undersized flex duct baking in 140°F attics, high-rise condos with shared vertical chases and fire dampers, and post-2000 suburban tract homes with longer runs to meet modern energy codes. A company that treats every job the same will miss the lint packed in the common section of a condo chase, or underestimate the corrosion in a salt-air-exposed cap near the beach.
Standard cleaning for Miami homes runs $150 – $350. Condo jobs with shared chases or roof terminations run $200 – $450, reflecting the additional coordination and access time. Bird guard installation adds $75 – $150. Vent cap replacement runs $85 – $200 depending on material and access.
Condo and HOA Coordination
In Miami’s high-rise condos, dryer vents often terminate on shared exterior walls or roof stacks. The visible vent flap only tells part of the story. Lint can pack the entire vertical chase, and cleaning requires access approval from building management before a tech can reach the full lint pathway. We handle that coordination. Our office calls the property manager, schedules the access, and arrives with the escort already arranged.
What Complete Cleaning Includes
We don’t just vacuum the lint trap housing. Our crews inspect the full run with a camera, agitate deposits with rotary brushes, extract with negative-air machines, and test airflow before and after. In Miami’s humidity, we also check for condensation points where wet lint has adhered to duct walls. That extra step separates a completed job from a failed one.
Trusted Brands We Service in Miami
We stock parts and use equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, Guardsman, and Abatement Technologies, including systems trusted by Carrier in Miami installations. Rotobrush rotary systems handle the sticky lint deposits Miami humidity creates. Nikro negative-air machines maintain proper suction on long condo chases. Guardsman filtration products catch the fine particles that escape standard vacuums. For Miami customers, that means faster turnaround, no waiting on parts orders from out of state, and repairs done with components rated for our climate’s demands. We don’t show up with hardware-store gear and hope it works.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Miami Homes
- Shared vertical chases with packed fire dampers. In a Miami Beach condo near Collins Avenue, our tech followed a dryer vent run that disappeared into a shared vertical chase, and a camera inspection revealed lint packed against a fire damper that hadn’t been serviced since the building was built. We coordinated with building management to open the access panel, used negative pressure and agitation tools to pull the lint out, and the dryer’s airflow was restored to spec.
- Humidity-welded lint in low-slope duct runs. Miami’s average 75% relative humidity means condensation forms in cooler duct sections, especially where vents pass through air-conditioned interior walls. Wet lint dries into a dense mat that standard brushes skate over. Our rotary systems break it loose before extraction.
- Storm-water intrusion in flood-prone neighborhoods. After heavy summer storms or hurricane-season flooding, homeowners in Little Havana and Miami Beach often find water in their ducts. Technicians must check for standing water and replace soaked insulation before any cleaning, or they risk spreading mold spores throughout the house.
- HOA-mandated escorts and rushed jobs. Some Miami condo associations require technician escorts and limit time windows. Competitors rush through the visible run and skip the shared chase. We schedule adequate access time with building management so the full lint pathway gets cleaned, not just the part you can see from your unit.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Miami
Yes, most Miami condo HOAs require advance notice and may require an escort for any work in common areas or shared chases. We handle that coordination directly with your building management before scheduling, so the access is pre-approved when our technician arrives.
If your dryer takes longer than one cycle to dry clothes, feels hotter than usual, or you smell burning lint, the blockage may be in the shared chase beyond what you can see from your unit. We use camera inspection to locate the exact restriction before quoting any work. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule an inspection.
Yes, water intrusion can soak lint deposits and duct insulation, creating ideal conditions for mold growth and restricting airflow further. We check for standing water and damaged insulation before cleaning, and we replace any wet material rather than seal moisture inside the system.
Yes, but it requires access to the shared chase or roof termination, which means coordinating with building management to open access panels. We do this regularly in Miami condos and schedule the job only after securing that access, so we’re not charging you for time spent waiting on a property manager.
Cleaning removes lint and obstructions from the existing duct. Repair fixes mechanical failures: disconnected joints, corroded caps, damaged fire dampers, or improper terminations. In Miami condos, repair often involves replacing salt-corroded components or rerouting vents that no longer meet code. We diagnose which you need with camera inspection before quoting. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free assessment.
