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 Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, FL
Air duct cleaning in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea runs $350 – $650 for a typical single-family home and $280 – $480 for a condo, with most jobs scheduled within a few business days. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and we’ve learned that barrier-island ductwork here faces salt-laden humidity, microbial growth in vacation rentals, and corrosion that mainland Broward crews rarely encounter. Our dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our Miami office, but our technicians serve Lauderdale-by-the-Sea directly. Call (361) 326-5060 for a written estimate before any work begins.
Why Lauderdale-by-the-Sea Homes Are Different
Lauderdale-by-the-Sea sits on a narrow barrier island where the Atlantic is never more than a few blocks away. That proximity shapes every duct system we touch. The subtropical marine climate keeps humidity high and AC units running almost year-round, which means ducts stay damp and become ideal breeding ground for mold, mildew, and dust-mite allergens. Salt spray from the ocean, especially after hurricanes or strong nor’easters, infiltrates outdoor air intakes and leaves a gritty, corrosive residue inside ductwork that mainland techs don’t regularly see.
The housing stock compounds the challenge. Most buildings are mid-century low-rise condos, converted motels, and single-family homes built from the 1950s through the 1980s. Original ductwork, flex duct, and fiberglass duct board are common, and many units are in small oceanfront or intracoastal buildings with shared HVAC chases and compact mechanical rooms. We also find ductwork routed through unsealed chases that draw in humid attic or crawlspace air, accelerating mold growth. Frequent turnover of short-term renters in vacation units means systems get heavy use with little monitoring between guests.
Our Main Lauderdale-by-the-Sea Services
Lauderdale-by-the-Sea homeowners call us most often for these three services, each with its own dedicated local page:
Air Duct Cleaning in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Our rotary brush system from Rotobrush and negative-air machines from Nikro remove built-up dust, salt residue, and microbial growth from ductwork in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea condos and single-family homes. We pay special attention to fiberglass duct board common in older buildings, which can trap moisture and degrade faster in salt air. Every job gets a written price before we start and is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Air Duct Cleaning in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Dryer vent cleaning in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea addresses lint buildup aggravated by constant humidity and salt-air corrosion of exterior vent caps. Many condo buildings have long horizontal runs through shared walls that trap moisture and lint, creating fire hazards and drying inefficiency. We clear the full run, inspect the termination point for salt damage, and provide before-and-after documentation. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Duct Sealing in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Duct sealing in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea targets the unsealed chases and deteriorated flex duct we find in so many island buildings. We apply duct sealing mastic and mechanical fasteners to close gaps that draw in humid, salty air from attics and crawlspaces. Sealed ducts reduce the load on AC systems running constantly in this climate and help prevent the mold recurrence that plagues poorly sealed island homes. Duct Sealing in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
