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.

Miami Shores sits on a flat, nearly sea-level ridge in northeast Miami-Dade, and after a typical May – October afternoon thunderstorm our techs routinely find standing water and mold blooms inside attic ductwork within days. This is a moisture-and-mold problem, not a dust problem. The village’s mid-century ranch homes, built mostly from the 1940s through the 1960s, carry original galvanized metal ductwork through unsealed attics and crawlspaces where humidity penetrates loose joints and corroded seams. We’ve cleaned ducts from homes off NE 96th Street near the Miami Shores Country Club to properties along Biscayne Boulevard, and the pattern holds: if you don’t address the water intrusion, the mold returns with the next storm.
Our Air Duct Cleaning team follows The Garrison Standard on every Miami Shores job. That means a written price before any work starts, background-checked uniformed technicians, and equipment that matches what commercial crews use. We don’t give estimates that balloon once we’re inside your home. The price we write down is the price you pay.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Miami Shores’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been in business since 2004 as part of the Garrison Partners family, and our Miami office dispatches crews who know the local housing stock. They recognize the signs of corroded galvanized ductwork and understand that a musty smell in a Miami Shores ranch home usually means water got in, not that the filter is old.
Our technicians arrive in uniform, inside the quoted window, with tools from Rotobrush and Nikro plus filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman. You know who’s walking into your home before they arrive. Every job carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing: if the work fails within a year, we come back and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit.

HVAC Duct Cleaning in Miami Shores
HVAC Duct Cleaning in Miami Shores means removing mold, moisture, and corrosion byproducts from mid-century systems that were never designed for tropical monsoon humidity. A typical residential HVAC duct cleaning in Miami Shores runs $400 – $700 depending on system size, accessibility, and whether we find water damage requiring additional remediation. Most jobs take three to five hours and include full supply and return trunk cleaning, register and grill removal, and camera inspection of problem areas.
Moisture Damage Assessment
We start every Miami Shores HVAC job with a visual inspection of the air handler and attic duct runs for standing water, rust, and active mold. On a low-slung 1950s ranch off NE 96th Street near the Miami Shores Country Club, our crew opened the attic and found the original galvanized supply and return ducts sweating through loose joints after a storm, with a visible mold bloom below the air handler. We ran a camera inspection, pulled the wet flex runs, scrubbed the metal trunks with agitation tools under negative pressure and HEPA filtration, then re-sealed and re-insulated the joints before reinstalling two new runs and an Aprilaire filter.
Negative-Air Method with HEPA Filtration
Our Nikro negative-air machines pull contaminants out of your ductwork under controlled suction, capturing particles down to 0.3 microns. In Miami Shores’s humid climate, this matters because disturbed mold spores can recolonize within days if they’re not fully extracted and filtered. We explain the process in plain terms while we work.
Vent Cleaning in Miami Shores
Vent Cleaning in Miami Shores addresses the supply and return registers where homeowners notice problems first: black debris around grill edges, musty airflow, or reduced pressure from rooms farthest from the air handler. A typical vent cleaning for a Miami Shores ranch home runs $350 – $550 as a standalone service, or it’s included in a full system cleaning. We remove every register, clean the boot and first few feet of duct behind it, and inspect for water staining that indicates upstream moisture intrusion.
Register and Boot Deep Cleaning
Supply vents in Miami Shores homes often show the first signs of mold because cooled air hits humid attic ductwork and condenses at the register. We clean the full boot, not just the visible grill, and check for corrosion on the connecting collar. If we find active mold, we document it with photos and explain your options before proceeding.
Dryer Vent Integration
Many Miami Shores homeowners schedule dryer vent cleaning alongside vent cleaning because the same humidity that attacks HVAC ductwork degrades dryer exhaust ducts faster here. Lint plus moisture creates a paste that clogs flex runs. We note the condition of your dryer vent during our inspection and can quote both jobs together with one flat written price.
Trusted Brands We Service in Miami Shores
We stock filters and components from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman for Miami Shores customers, which means faster turnaround when your system needs a replacement part during cleaning. Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems for mechanical agitation inside ductwork and Nikro negative-air machines for contained debris extraction. For filtration upgrades after cleaning, we size and install Honeywell and Aprilaire media filters that handle the particle load Miami Shores’s wet-season mold spores create. We don’t sell you what you don’t need. We explain what your system is missing, quote it in writing, and let you decide.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Miami Shores Homes
- Water intrusion after afternoon thunderstorms. Miami Shores’ high water table and flat terrain mean water pools in attics and crawlspaces within hours of a storm. Technicians often find standing water below air handlers and mold spreading through supply trunks before the homeowner smells anything.
- Corroded galvanized ductwork from the 1940s – 1960s. Original metal ducts in Miami Shores ranch homes have loose joints, failed insulation, and corrosion holes that pull humid attic air straight into conditioned spaces. Cleaning without sealing these pathways wastes money.
- Mold blooms in unsealed attic installations. Without modern vapor barriers, Miami Shores attics stay damp eight months of the year. Mold colonies establish in duct insulation and on metal surfaces, then distribute spores through the entire system every time the blower cycles.
- Treating moisture problems as routine dust removal. Some crews vacuum registers and leave. Without addressing the unsealed attic and vapor barrier, mold returns after the next wet-season storm. We identify the source and explain the fix before quoting.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Miami Shores
Every two to three years for most Miami Shores homes, but annually if you’ve had water intrusion, visible mold, or live in a 1940s – 1960s ranch with original galvanized ductwork. The tropical monsoon climate here accelerates mold growth compared to drier regions. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule an inspection and we’ll tell you what your system actually needs.
Yes. Miami Shores receives over 60 inches of rain annually, mostly May through October, and the constant high humidity creates ideal conditions for mold in unsealed attic ductwork. After a typical afternoon thunderstorm, our technicians often find standing water and active mold blooms within days. Call (361) 326-5060 if you smell mustiness or see debris around your registers.
Full camera inspection, mechanical agitation of supply and return trunks under negative-air HEPA containment, register and boot removal with deep cleaning, moisture damage assessment, and written documentation of corroded joints or failed insulation. We seal accessible leaks with mastic before closing up. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate with exact scope.
Yes, and many homeowners schedule both together. Miami Shores humidity degrades dryer exhaust ducts faster than drier climates by turning lint into a clogging paste. A separate dryer vent cleaning runs $150 – $250 and includes full flex-run inspection. Call (361) 326-5060 to bundle both services under one flat written price.
The wet season from May to October increases moisture intrusion risk, so we recommend pre-season inspections and more frequent cleanings for homes with unsealed attics or prior water damage. A system that stayed clean three years in a dry climate may need attention every 18 – 24 months here. Call (361) 326-5060 to assess your home’s specific risk factors.
