The numbers for Stuart

What the census says about Stuart's housing.

46.3%

of Stuart's homes were built before 1980 — the fourth-oldest housing stock of the fourteen towns this crew covers.

  1. Stuart is the only one of the fourteen service areas covered here that sits in Martin County rather than Palm Beach County.

    American Community Survey, 2024 five-year estimates, place records for the fourteen areas.

  2. 79.1% of Stuart's housing units were built before 2000 and 46.3% before 1980 — so roughly one home in three went up in the twenty years between, and one in five since.

    American Community Survey, 2024 five-year estimates (table B25034).

  3. Only 27.7% of Stuart's housing units are detached single-family homes, the second-lowest share of the fourteen service areas covered here, after Juno Beach.

    American Community Survey, 2024 five-year estimates (table B25024).

  4. Only 58.9% of Stuart's housing units are owner-occupied, so about two homes in five are rented — one of the lower owner-occupancy rates of the fourteen service areas covered here.

What it means for your ducts

Older duct, mostly behind a shared wall, and an owner who may not live there.

Almost half of Stuart's 10,577 homes — 46.3% — went up before 1980, and 79.1% before 2000. That is the fourth-oldest housing stock of the fourteen towns this crew covers, and old stock is where flexible duct has had the time to sag off its straps, tear where it meets a collar, or pack out with four decades of dust no filter ever caught.

What sets Stuart apart from Jupiter or Palm Beach Gardens is not the age, it is the shape. Only 27.7% of units are detached single-family — the second-lowest share on this list, after Juno Beach — and 18.7% sit in a building of twenty units or more. A condominium stack shares a riser and a roof, so the work is scoped to your unit and to what the building will let us reach. That is a different conversation from a whole-house attic system, and it is worth having before anyone quotes you a price.

Ownership changes who books, too. At 58.9% owner-occupied, about two Stuart homes in five are rented, so a good share of the calls come from a landlord or a property manager rather than the person breathing the air. And Stuart sits on the St. Lucie River, just west of the Indian River Lagoon and the Intracoastal: waterside properties are more likely to show salt-air corrosion on the exposed metal of a dryer-vent hood or an outside duct run than homes further inland.

Good to know

Questions we get from Stuart.

Still unsure about something? Call (561) 652-5107 and a technician will talk it through — no obligation.

Ask us directly
Do you actually come up to Stuart, or only Palm Beach County?
We come up. Stuart is the only one of the fourteen towns on this list that sits in Martin County rather than Palm Beach County, and it is covered like the rest of them. Booking works the same way: the form on this page or the phone number at the top of it, and you get a window rather than a vague morning.
I own a condominium in Stuart. Can you clean just my unit?
Usually yes, and it is a common call here — 18.7% of Stuart's housing units sit in a building of twenty or more. What we can reach depends on how the building is put together. A unit with its own air handler is a self-contained job. A shared riser belongs to the association and needs their say-so first. We inspect before anything starts and tell you which of the two you have, so nobody pays for work that stops at a wall.
My house is from the 1970s. Is the duct worth cleaning, or should it be replaced?
That is the right question to ask in Stuart, where 46.3% of homes predate 1980. The camera run answers it before anyone quotes. Sheet metal in sound condition cleans up and goes on working for years. Flexible duct that has torn at the collar, sagged off its straps or been crushed under something in the attic is a repair or a replacement, and we say so rather than clean around it and hand you the same problem back.
I rent my Stuart property out. Who needs to be there?
Someone over 18 with access — a tenant, a manager, or you. About two Stuart homes in five are rented, so this comes up constantly. Whoever is on site walks the results with the technician at the end, and the before-and-after photographs go to whoever booked the job, wherever they are.
Does being on the water change anything?
On the outside hardware, yes. Stuart sits on the St. Lucie River just west of the Indian River Lagoon and the Intracoastal, and salt-rich air corrodes exposed metal: a dryer-vent hood, an outside duct run, the screws holding a boot in place. It is not a reason to clean more often than anyone else, but it is worth a look while we are already there.
How long does a visit take, and what does it cost?
A single-family home is usually 2 to 4 hours depending on the number of vents and air handlers. A dryer vent on its own is normally under an hour, and a one-bedroom condominium is quicker than either. Price depends on the size of the home, how many systems it runs and the condition of the duct, so the quote is given on site, in writing, before any work starts.

Tell us what the air is doing. We will open it and look.

A musty smell when the system starts, a room that never cools, a dryer that needs two cycles — those are the three calls we get most.
