Dryer Vent Cleaning in Kendall, FL
Kendall spread west from Dadeland between the 1970s and the 1990s: first single storey block houses with a garage, then townhouse and villa communities toward The Hammocks and Kendall West. Most dryers here vent through a garage wall or climb through the attic to the roof. Dryer vent and dryer duct cleaning in Kendall runs $100 to $200, and we measure airflow at the outside hood before and after.
What we find most often in Kendall: In Kendall the most common find is an attic duct that has slipped off a joint on its way to the roof, so part of every load's lint and moisture lands on the insulation instead of going outside.
Garage laundries in the older sections
In Kendale Lakes, Devon Aire and the streets off Kendall Drive built in the 1970s and early 1980s, the washer and dryer usually stand in the garage. When the dryer backs onto an outside wall, the vent is a few feet long and simple to service. When it backs onto the wall shared with the house, the duct often goes up and across the garage ceiling to reach the roof or a soffit.
Soffit endings are the ones we like least. Lint blown into a soffit tends to drift back into the attic along with the damp air, which is the opposite of what the duct is for. Where we find one, we price moving the termination to a wall or roof cap with a proper damper.
Townhouses in The Hammocks and Kendall West
The townhouse and villa communities farther west put the laundry in a closet off the kitchen, under the stairs or on the second floor. The duct runs between floors or across a ceiling to an outside wall, and the hood often sits high on a wall above a neighbour's patio or a shared walkway.
Reaching that hood takes a ladder and sometimes the association's permission. We can line up several units in one community on the same day at a per unit price, which makes access simpler for owners and for the board.
Thirty years after Andrew
Country Walk and much of south Kendall were badly damaged by Hurricane Andrew in 1992, and many roofs and laundry rooms were rebuilt in the years after. Those rebuilds are now old enough that plastic roof caps have gone brittle and the tape on attic joints has let go.
Cleaning is $100 to $200. If attic joints have separated or a cap is broken, repair is $200 to $600 and is quoted before we book. Either way you get the airflow numbers from before and after the work.

Dryer Vents in Kendall: FAQs
Can dryer lint really end up in my attic?
Yes, when a joint in the attic has separated. The dryer keeps running, but part of the exhaust goes into the attic with every load. We check every joint we can reach and reseal with foil tape, never with screws.
My townhouse vent comes out on the second floor. Can you reach it?
In most cases, with a ladder outside and from the laundry closet inside. If the association controls access, we coordinate with it, and neighbouring units can be done the same day.
How often should a Kendall house have the dryer vent cleaned?
Once a year for a typical family. Every six months if the duct climbs through the attic to the roof or the dryer runs most days.
How much does dryer vent cleaning cost in Kendall?
$100 to $200 for most Kendall homes. Repair, replacement or a new run is $200 to $600. You get the figure for your vent before we book.
