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.

AfterAir Duct Cleaning Company in Kendale Lakes, FL
Air duct cleaning in Kendale Lakes typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and we’ve built our work around the realities of this west Miami-Dade suburb: thousands of nearly identical 1970s ranch houses with original duct layouts, year-round humidity that never gives the HVAC a break, and afternoon thunderstorms that can leave damp duct interiors smelling musty within a day. Our crews dispatch from our Miami office and serve Kendale Lakes homes directly. Call us at (361) 326-5060 for a free written estimate.
Why Kendale Lakes Homes Are Different
Kendale Lakes is a sprawling suburb built fast in the 1970s and 1980s, and the sameness is the story. Most houses here are single-story CBS ranch homes on quarter-acre lots, built from the same plans with the same attic-mounted air handlers and the same mix of flex and sheet-metal duct runs. A technician who has opened one return plenum on SW 137th Avenue has effectively opened thousands. That repetition cuts both ways: we know where the leaks form, where the flex sags, and which plenums collect the mineral scale left by the area’s hard water supply.
The climate is the other half of it. South Florida’s heat and humidity mean HVAC systems run almost constantly, so dust, pollen, and mildew spores accumulate faster than they would up north. The wet season from May through October pushes outdoor humidity to 70 – 90%, making condensation inside poorly sealed ducts a chronic problem, not a seasonal one. And those afternoon sea-breeze thunderstorms are a daily summer ritual here. When the power blips and the air handler shuts down mid-cycle, the evaporator coil stays wet and the duct interiors stay damp. In a closed-up Kendale Lakes house, that musty smell can set in within a day or two if the system doesn’t run long enough to fully dry out.
Many homes have also had enclosures, additions, or converted garages that disrupted the original duct design, creating pressure imbalances the builder never anticipated. The condo and townhome clusters near Kendall Drive and 137th Avenue add their own wrinkles: shared vertical chases and rooftop units where one dirty system can affect multiple units.
Our Main Kendale Lakes Services
Most calls we get from Kendale Lakes fall into three categories. Each has its own page with full details, pricing, and what to expect on the day of service.
Air Duct Cleaning in Kendale Lakes
This is our core service for Kendale Lakes: a full-system cleaning using a Rotobrush rotary brush system and, where the job calls for it, Nikro negative-air equipment to pull dislodged debris out of the ductwork rather than pushing it deeper. In Kendale Lakes, we typically find heavy dust loading in the return plenums and flex duct sag points where humidity has caused particulate to cake. We clean the full supply and return system, registers, and the air handler cabinet, then show you before-and-after photos of your own ducts. Air Duct Cleaning in Kendale Lakes
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Kendale Lakes
Dryer vent cleaning matters more here than in drier climates. The same humidity that keeps HVAC systems running also keeps lint damp and clingy inside vent lines, especially the long horizontal runs common in these ranch homes. We clear the full vent path from the dryer connection to the exterior termination, check for proper airflow, and verify the vent cap is sealing against pests and weather.

Duct Sealing in Kendale Lakes
Duct sealing addresses the leaks and separations that develop at flex-to-metal connections and where additions have disrupted the original design. We use mastic and mechanical sealing methods rated for South Florida’s temperature swings and humidity, then pressure-test the system to verify the seal. In Kendale Lakes, this often means sealing attic runs that have been leaking conditioned air into the roof space for years. Duct Sealing in Kendale Lakes

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Kendale Lakes
No permit is required for standard air duct cleaning or dryer vent cleaning in unincorporated Miami-Dade County, which covers most of Kendale Lakes. Duct sealing that involves modifying or extending ductwork may require a permit; we can tell you during the estimate whether your specific job triggers that requirement, and we handle the paperwork if it does.

Cleaning removes the accumulated dust and microbial loading that feeds musty odors, but the root cause is usually moisture getting trapped when the system shuts down mid-cycle. We check for duct leaks that pull humid attic air into the system, and we can recommend whether duct sealing or a dehumidification strategy is the right next step. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll assess what’s actually causing the smell in your house.
