Meet the Team - Cardinal Air Duct Woodland Hills

Meet the Woodland Hills Team Behind Cardinal Air Duct Woodland Hills

You don’t want strangers poking around your attic at 10 a.m. on a Tuesday. Neither do we. That’s why every Cardinal Air Duct Woodland Hills technician is background-checked, uniformed, and introduced by name before they ever set foot on your property. Our Woodland Hills crew is small on purpose: four people who know this valley, know these homes, and know what a properly cleaned duct system should look like. They’re led by Omar Haddad, the owner, who still rides along on complex jobs and still answers for the work personally. The rest of the team shares one thing in common: they’d rather redo a job than leave it half-right.

Our People

Omar Haddad – Owner

Omar founded this Woodland Hills location after years of watching duct cleaning companies treat San Fernando Valley homes like assembly-line work. He’s the one who insists every quote is written down before work starts, and he’s the one who’ll walk your attic with you afterward to point out what was found. Omar runs a Rotobrush system himself on bigger jobs and has a habit of explaining negative-pressure extraction – that means loosened debris gets pulled straight into the Nikro HEPA vacuum instead of drifting back into your living room – in the same sentence he’s using it. He won’t upsell you. He’ll tell you if your ducts look fine and you should save the money. That’s how he’s built the kind of local trust that doesn’t come from a coupon.

Marco D. – Lead Technician

Marco has been in HVAC and air duct work for over nine years, the last three with Cardinal Air Duct Woodland Hills. He specializes in Abatement Technologies containment setup, which keeps dust and debris sealed off from the rest of your home while the cleaning is underway. Marco’s the guy who knows the difference between a 1950s Woodland Hills ranch with original metal ducts and a 1990s Calabasas build with flex ducting, because he’s crawled through both more times than he can count. Outside work, Marco coaches his daughter’s youth soccer team in Warner Center and talks about HVAC systems the way other dads talk about fantasy football.

Sarah C. – Senior Installer

Sarah handles the filtration side of the work: Honeywell media filters, Aprilaire whole-home systems, and Guardsman products, all sized to the specific airflow needs of each house. She came up through commercial HVAC before moving to residential, which means she’s seen the ugly side of neglected systems and knows what actually matters when it comes to filtration – not the most expensive option, the right one. Sarah’s also the team’s unofficial historian of Woodland Hills homes. She can tell you why your return air placement feels wrong by looking at the original floor plan. On weekends she restores vintage bicycles in her garage, a hobby that requires the same patience as untangling a badly routed flex duct.

Adam W. – Service Coordinator

Adam is the human voice you hear when you call (559) 295-5878 at 3 a.m. or 3 p.m. He handles scheduling, live arrival windows, and the Relay Standard booking flow from first tap to final invoice. Adam doesn’t do sales scripts. He asks about your home’s age, whether you’ve noticed dust on furniture within a day or two of cleaning, and whether you have pets – because those details change what the crew brings and how long the job takes. He’ll also be the one sending you the digital invoice link once the work is done, along with before-and-after photos of your own ducts. Adam’s lived in the valley for over a decade and can tell you the fastest route to most neighborhoods without looking at a map. He keeps a list of the best taco spots in Woodland Hills and will happily share it.

One Standard, Every Job

Cardinal Air Duct Woodland Hills is part of the Relay Home Co. family, founded 2005, and every location operates under the same rules. That means a written price before anything is touched, a written guarantee on every repair, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the work isn’t right within a full year, we return and correct it at no charge. It’s not a sales line. It’s the standard the whole network is held to. Technicians across the network run Rotobrush rotary brush systems, Nikro HEPA vacuums, and proper containment; the tools matter, but so does the discipline behind them. In Woodland Hills, that discipline belongs to Omar, Marco, Sarah, and Adam. Customers know the tech’s name before they open the door. If something isn’t done right, the same person who did the work comes back. That’s the Relay Standard, and it doesn’t change from one California location to the next.

Why We Work This Way

Duct cleaning has an earned reputation for bait-and-switch pricing and rushed, unverifiable work. We know that’s why you’re reading this page instead of just booking the first name you saw. The team at Cardinal Air Duct Woodland Hills is built to answer that directly: names you know, pricing you sign off on before work begins, and photo documentation of your actual ducts when the job is finished. If you’re in Woodland Hills, Tarzana, Encino, or anywhere nearby, call (559) 295-5878 and Adam will walk you through what to expect. No pressure, no voicemail loops, just a straight answer about your air.
