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 Dryer Vent Cleaning Across West Miami
Dryer vent cleaning in West Miami typically runs $150 – $280 for a standard single-family home, and most jobs take 60 to 90 minutes from arrival to cleanup. If your dryer is taking two cycles to dry a load, or you’re noticing a burnt-lint smell from the laundry room, the vent line is likely choked with compacted lint that no hardware-store brush will clear safely.
We know West Miami’s housing stock inside and out. Our crews serve the narrow-lot infill off Coral Way, the original 1940s cinderblock bungalows near Bird Road, and the Mediterranean-style rebuilds tucked between SW 8th Street and Flagler Street. Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our Miami office, but the technicians who arrive at your door live and work in this market. They understand that a vent run through a low, unconditioned attic in a 1950s bungalow behaves differently than one in newer construction, and they bring the right equipment for both. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is West Miami’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve been part of the Garrison Partners family since 2004, and our Dryer Vent Cleaning team has built a reputation in West Miami on showing up inside the quoted window and pricing in writing before touching anything.

Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they work under The Garrison Standard: arrive on time, price before work starts, complete the job by the book, and leave the site clean. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every dryer vent cleaning we perform in West Miami. If the work fails within a year, we return and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit.
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 morning to schedule.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in West Miami
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in West Miami covers multi-unit laundry rooms, property-management portfolios, and small commercial dryers in restaurants, salons, and assisted-living facilities along Coral Way and Flagler Street. The job involves more than lint removal: we inspect the full run for code compliance, measure airflow before and after with a digital anemometer, and provide written documentation for property insurers and fire-safety inspectors. In West Miami’s humid climate, commercial vents also accumulate moisture-driven biological growth that residential units rarely see. Typical commercial dryer vent cleaning in West Miami runs $200 – $450 per unit, depending on run length, roof or wall termination, and whether bird guards or backdraft dampers need replacement.
Multi-Unit Property Schedules
Property managers in West Miami’s older duplex and fourplex stock near SW 12th Avenue often need coordinated access across multiple units. We schedule these jobs in blocks, completing one building before moving to the next, with written certificates for each address. This keeps HOA and insurance documentation clean and traceable.
Restaurant and Salon Ventilation
Commercial dryers in West Miami’s restaurant row off Coral Way run harder and longer than residential units. We use Nikro negative-air machines to capture lint and grease particulate without cross-contaminating kitchen or service areas, and we time the work to avoid peak service hours.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in West Miami
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in West Miami addresses the specific failures that come with year-round humidity, salt-laden air, and attic or crawlspace vent runs that pool condensation. The work includes rotary brush agitation of the full duct length, high-velocity air-whipping to dislodge packed lint, and negative-air extraction so debris exits the system rather than your laundry room. We also inspect the termination cap, measure backdraft function, and check for sagging flex duct that traps moisture. A standard residential dryer vent cleaning in West Miami costs $150 – $280; vent rerouting or bird guard installation adds $85 – $175 depending on materials and roof-access requirements.
Inspection and Lint Removal
Every job starts with a video-scope or mirror inspection of the vent interior. In West Miami’s 1940s – 1960s bungalows, we often find original metal ductwork with corroded seams where humid attic air has rusted through, or sagging flex runs installed during a 1990s renovation that now hold water and compacted lint. We document what we find before quoting repair or replacement.
Vent Rerouting and Protection
Some West Miami homes have vents terminating too close to soffits, under covered porches, or in locations where hurricane shutters block airflow. We reroute to code-compliant terminations and install bird guards or replacement caps that withstand coastal wind loads and keep nesting material out.
Trusted Brands We Service in West Miami
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems for mechanical agitation of stubborn lint deposits, Nikro negative-air machines for contained debris extraction, and filtration and venting products from Abatement Technologies and Guardsman. We stock common replacement caps, bird guards, and transition ducts for West Miami’s typical vent configurations, so most jobs finish in one visit without waiting on parts. When a 1950s bungalow needs a custom metal transition or a newer infill requires a specific wall-cap profile, we source it fast through our Miami-area supply chain. The tools are professional-grade, not hardware-store gear, and we explain what each piece does before starting the work.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in West Miami Homes
- Condensation-saturated lint in attic runs. West Miami’s unconditioned attics reach 140°F in summer, but afternoon downpours and high humidity cool metal ductwork fast. The resulting condensation wets lint into a paste that clings to duct walls and resists ordinary airflow. Our rotary brush system breaks it loose, and negative-air extraction pulls it out completely.
- Corroded metal duct at seam joints. The salt aerosol from Biscayne Bay accelerates rust in original 1940s – 1960s galvanized ductwork. We find pinhole leaks and separated seams above terrazzo-floored bungalows near Bird Road that vent moisture into attics and breed mold on surrounding framing.
- Hurricane-shutter interference with termination caps. During shutter season, homeowners in West Miami’s narrow-lot infill often discover their accordion or panel shutters block or crush plastic vent caps. We replace these with metal caps rated for wind exposure and verify clearance before storm season returns.
- Bird and rodent nesting after storms. Following any named storm or extended power outage, we see a spike in calls from West Miami homes where displaced birds or roof rats have stuffed vent terminations with nesting material. We clear the obstruction, install a proper bird guard, and inspect for damage to the duct interior.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in West Miami, FL
