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 Coral Gables, FL
Most Coral Gables homes run between $380 and $690 for a full air duct cleaning, depending on the size of the system and how many air returns feed it. The older Merrick-era homes here sit at the higher end because their retrofitted ductwork runs through tight, non-standard spaces that take longer to clean properly. If you’ve noticed dust settling back on furniture within days of wiping it down, or a musty odor that returns the moment the AC kicks on, call (469) 972-3151 and we’ll give you a written price before any work begins.
Why Coral Gables Homes Are Different
Coral Gables is full of George Merrick’s original 1920s to 1940s Mediterranean Revival homes, and here’s the thing most people don’t realize: those houses were built before central air conditioning existed. The ductwork was retrofitted decades later into thick plaster walls, attic cavities, and spaces carved around barrel-tile rooflines that were never engineered for HVAC. That means sharp bends, dead-end runs, and long stretches of duct hidden inside 8 to 12 inch masonry walls. Debris piles up in those blind spots and stays there unless someone actually gets inside to remove it.
The climate compounds the problem. Coral Gables sits just over a mile from Biscayne Bay, where salt-laden air pushes corrosion on exposed metal joints, and relative humidity runs between 75 and 90 percent most months. Residential AC systems cycle almost constantly, so evaporator coils and supply ducts stay damp. Mold and mildew establish themselves inside ducts here at rates you simply don’t see in drier or colder markets. In the historic district especially, technicians find 90-degree bends stacked in series around decorative arches and masonry fireplaces. Those dead zones are invisible to a standard camera inspection and unreachable with straight-rod equipment. A Coral Gables duct cleaning is a health maintenance task, not a cosmetic one.
Our Main Coral Gables Services
The two calls we make most in Coral Gables are full air duct cleanings on older retrofitted homes and dryer vent cleanings in laundry rooms where the vent run is longer than it looks. Here’s what each job involves here.
Air Duct Cleaning in Coral Gables
We clean the entire duct system: supply and return runs, the main trunk lines, the air handler, and the grill covers. In Coral Gables homes with Merrick-era construction, the work often takes longer because runs thread around arches and chimney masses, so technicians use Rotobrush rotary brush agitation to break debris loose at the duct wall, paired with Nikro negative-pressure extraction to pull it out. The loose particles get captured by Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration before they can enter your living space. Full details are on Air Duct Cleaning in Coral Gables.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Coral Gables
Dryer vents in Coral Gables often run horizontally through those thick plaster walls or up through tile roofs, with more bends than the vent run in a newer home. Lint and humidity stick to the inside of the pipe, and in salt air the buildup happens faster. We remove the lint from the full run, including the lint trap bypass area, and confirm airflow at the exterior termination. Homeowners who hear the dryer running a second cycle just to get towels dry will find the specifics on Dryer Vent Cleaning in Coral Gables.

What pushes a Coral Gables job toward the upper end is mostly geometry: more sharp bends, longer runs, and metal ductwork that has been sitting damp, which takes longer to do right. That’s genuinely it. Before any work starts, the written price is in your hands, and it won’t change when the technician arrives.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Coral Gables
Yes. Our technicians are trained to work around original plaster walls, barrel-tile rooflines, and ornamental details without cutting access holes that damage the structure. We use existing registers and access points wherever possible, and we clean up fully when the job is done.
Most single-system homes take between 3 and 6 hours. Homes with retrofitted ductwork, multiple systems, or long runs with many bends can run longer. You’ll get a defined arrival window and a realistic time estimate before the technician starts.
Interior duct cleaning typically doesn’t require HOA approval, since the work happens inside your home and doesn’t alter the exterior. If your vent termination is in a shared wall or visible roofline, we can clean through the interior access points and leave the exterior untouched.
If your ducts haven’t been cleaned in years and you’re ready to know the exact price before committing, call (469) 972-3151 for a free estimate.

What Coral Gables Customers Say
"Our dryer was taking two cycles to dry a load. They cleaned the vent and pulled out a frightening amount of lint. Dries in one cycle now and honestly I feel better about the fire risk."
- Marcus Lee"Set up an appointment for the whole house plus the dryer line. They called the morning of to confirm, showed up in the window, and showed me pictures of the gunk they pulled out. Worth it."
- Terrence Boyd"My wife's allergies were awful every morning. Had the ducts done and it's made a real difference. Tech was on time and wore booties in the house without me asking."
