We’re Cardinal Air Duct Marietta, the air duct specialist of the Relay Home Co. family (founded 2005). Led by Omar Haddad, our team handles Residential Duct Cleaning, HVAC cleaning, and dryer vent cleaning with the same standard every time: total visibility from booking to invoice.

Fast, Local Air Duct Cleaning
Duct cleaning is not a project most people plan weeks in advance. Maybe you just moved into a house near Marietta Square and the previous owner had two shedding dogs. Maybe your allergies spiked in April when the pollen count hit Marietta’s spring highs. Or maybe you opened a vent after a renovation and saw drywall dust packed in the register. Whatever pushed you to search, you want it handled quickly, by someone local who knows the difference between a professional clean and a truck-mounted shop-vac shortcut.
That’s where we step in. Our Marietta-based crews cover the full northwest metro area with live, trackable arrival windows. You won’t sit around wondering if we’re ever showing up. When you book, you’ll get the Relay Standard: a live arrival window you can track from your phone, background-checked uniformed technicians who tell you their name before they ring the bell, before-and-after photos of the work, and a digital invoice you can pay from a link. No paper checkbooks, no standing in the driveway writing a check in the rain. Everything phone-native from first tap to final receipt.
Same-day and next-day appointments are generally available in Marietta and the surrounding communities. If you call before noon, there’s a good chance we can have a technician at your door the same afternoon. A live person answers our phones 24/7, so you’ll never leave a voicemail and hope someone calls back next business day.
What a Real Air Duct Cleaning in Marietta Includes
There’s a right way and a quick way to clean air ducts, and our Full System Cleaning follows the right way. The quick way is what gives the whole industry a bad name: someone shows up with a big shop vac, pokes it into a few registers, snaps a couple photos, and leaves with a check. Ducts look fine for a week. Then the dust settles and nothing has actually changed.
Our approach is different because the equipment is different. We run Commercial Duct Cleaning-grade systems built for this exact job:
- Rotobrush rotary brush systems: powered rotating brushes that physically agitate and break loose the film of dust, pet dander, and debris stuck to the interior surfaces of your ducts. A wand and a prayer don’t do that.
- Nikro HEPA-rated vacuum extraction units: we create negative-pressure extraction, meaning the loosened debris goes straight into the HEPA-filtered vacuum, not back into your living room. HEPA filtration captures the fine particles that cheap vacuums recirculate into the air you’re breathing.
- Abatement Technologies containment units: we seal off the work area so whatever comes out of your ducts doesn’t end up on your couch, your rugs, or your kids’ toys. The containment unit keeps the mess where it belongs.
- Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman filtration products: if your system needs a better filter, UV treatment, or whole-home purification, we carry the brands HVAC techs actually recommend, and we’ll tell you the price up front.
The process typically runs 2 to 4 hours for a standard Marietta single-family home. Larger homes in Milton or Acworth with dual systems can take 4 to 6. We’ll give you a written time estimate along with your written price, so there are no surprises on either front.
Why Our Price Doesn’t Change at the Door
Here’s how it goes with a lot of duct cleaners: you get a phone quote of $199 for “whole-home duct cleaning.” The technician arrives, walks around for five minutes, and suddenly there’s mold remediation, sanitizer application, and a “severe buildup” fee. Now you’re at $1,200 and feeling cornered in your own dining room.
We don’t play that game. Every Cardinal Air Duct Marietta job includes a written price before any work begins. No exceptions. It’s printed, it’s handed to you, and it does not change at the door. That’s our no-hassle upfront pricing, and it’s a core part of how we operate from home evaluations to complete Air Duct Cleaning in Marietta jobs.
You’ll see real numbers on our invoice before the first register cover comes off:
- Single HVAC system, 12 – 18 vents: $285 – $385
- Single system with main trunk line and coil cleaning: $375 – $485
- Dual-system homes (common in Milton and East Cobb): $550 – $750
- Dryer vent cleaning (add-on or standalone): $89 – $149
- Air handler / evaporator coil cleaning (if accessible): $150 – $250
These are real ranges for the Marietta market. Your exact number depends on system size, accessibility, and how much buildup has accumulated since the last cleaning. Call (762) 216-4075 and we’ll talk through your home’s specifics, then give you a number that holds.
How to Know If You Need Air Duct Cleaning
Not every house needs duct cleaning. If your home is newer than five years and you’ve been religious about filter changes, your ducts might be fine. But in Marietta, we see a lot of homes that need it without knowing it. The two big culprits: humidity and renovation dust.
Marietta’s humid subtropical climate means your ducts are pulling in moist air for big chunks of the year. Dust that could stay dry in Denver or Phoenix becomes a paste that sticks to duct walls here. Once it sticks, it holds onto pollen, pet dander, and whatever else circulates through your system. If you’re changing your return filter every month and it still looks like a felt pad after three weeks, that’s dust coming from the ducts, not the outside air.
Here’s what we tell homeowners to look for:
- Visible dust party at the register: if you see dust buildup on the metal register covers or a puff of dust when the system kicks on, that’s built-up material in the duct run.
- Allergies that seem to improve when you leave the house: if your symptoms ease at work, at a hotel, or at a friend’s place but spike at home, your HVAC system is likely recirculating something you’re reacting to.
- Recent renovation or major sanding project: drywall dust, sawdust, and flooring particles get pulled into the return side of your system and lodge in the ductwork. This is one of the most common calls we get in newer Cobb County subdivisions where homes turn over and get renovated before resale.
- Pet ownership, multiple pets, or long-haired breeds: in a single season, two dogs and a cat can contribute enough dander to line the interior of a duct system in ways you’d rather not picture.
- Rodent or pest activity: we’ll be direct here. If you’ve had mice, rats, or squirrels anywhere near your HVAC or crawlspace, the odds are good they’ve left something behind in your ducts. That’s a health concern, and it’s one that requires professional cleaning equipment, not a DIY attempt.
If your house was built before 1990 and you’ve never had the ducts cleaned, and you don’t know what the previous owners did, it’s worth having a professional look. We’ll inspect, and if you don’t need cleaning, we’ll tell you and leave without inventing a problem. That’s part of how we do business.
Dryer Vent Cleaning: The Extra Thing That Saves Your House
One quick note while we’re on the subject. If you’re in a Marietta home and the dryer takes two full cycles to dry a load, that’s not a weak dryer. That’s a clogged vent. Lint builds up in the dryer exhaust line over time and becomes a genuine fire hazard. The U.S. Fire Administration tracks clothes dryer fires every year, and the leading cause is simply failure to clean the vent. In attached homes around Marietta Square and in the townhomes springing up along Powder Springs Road, this is not a maintenance task to put off.
We clean dryer vents as a standalone service or as an add-on to duct cleaning. Most households should have the dryer vent cleaned once a year, or every six months if you do daily laundry for a family of four or more. The line item runs $89 – $149 and takes less than an hour.
The 365-Day Done Right Promise
Every single job we do in Marietta is backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise. It’s the longest-standing satisfaction window in the trade. Here’s exactly what it means: if the work isn’t done right within the first full year after we complete your job, we return and correct it at no charge. It covers every job, not a select few, and there’s no fine print about “normal wear” or “acts of God” to wriggle out of it.
If a repair we make fails within that year, we’ll come back and make it right, and the second visit is free. That’s the written guarantee on every repair. You don’t have to ask for it. It’s the standard.
Omar Haddad built this Marietta location around a simple idea: the duct cleaning industry has spent decades making homeowners feel like they’re gambling every time they book. Unknown price, unknown tech, unknown results. We’d much rather build a business where the homeowner keeps every receipt, every photo, and every accountability in their hand. Omar has led teams in the Atlanta metro area for years and knows exactly how quickly trust disappears when a tech shows up late, without ID, in a beat-up personal truck, and gives you a pencil-scratched quote in the driveway.
That’s not how we do it. Background-checked, uniformed technicians arrive with full-size professional equipment that’s clearly marked. You’ll know the tech’s name before you open the door. The work area gets sealed with containment units. The after photos show the inside of your ducts, not just the truck parked on the street. You’ll see what we saw, what we did, and what it cost.
Areas We Serve
Our crews cover Marietta and the full northwest Atlanta metro area, including Milton, Acworth, Chamblee, Lithia Springs, Austell, Fair Oaks, and Smyrna. We’re not a national call center that routes jobs to a random subcontractor four counties away. We’re a local, independently owned Marietta operation working under the Relay Home Co. family and The Relay Visibility Guarantee. When you call, you’ll speak with someone who knows where East Cobb ends and Smyrna begins, and knows what a 3:30PM appointment actually means in Austell traffic.
If you’re in the middle of the metro and want clean ducts without an eight-hour window that eats your entire day, call us. We schedule based on the technician’s actual location and your actual address, so the arrival window you get is the arrival window we’ll hit, which you can track live from your phone. That’s The Relay Standard, and it applies to every address between Marietta Square and the Chattahoochee.
