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.

Call (720) 315-7291 for a written estimate; we do not quote over the phone without seeing the system, but we do deliver a flat price in writing before any work starts, every time.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Littleton Is Littleton’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We are independently owned and operated under the Haven Standard, not a franchise, and we have served more than 52,000 homes since 2013. In Littleton specifically, our reputation rests on documentation: every customer receives a written price before work begins, a photo record of every duct run when we finish, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise backed in writing on every job.
Our crews know the difference between a 1962 ranch off South Broadway with original fiberglass-lined galvanized ductwork and a 2003 Highlands Ranch tract home with sagging flex runs - and we adjust our approach accordingly. Technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before arrival under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. Tomas Reyes, who leads CleanRun, insists that no crew enters a Littleton home without the customer knowing exactly who is arriving and what equipment they carry.

Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Littleton
Residential Duct Cleaning
Most Littleton homes we service fall into two categories: historic ranches built between 1950 and 1975, and Highlands Ranch tract homes from the 1990s through 2005. The former have sheet-metal ductwork with degrading fiberglass liner; the latter have flex-duct systems now reaching 25-35 years of age. Our residential cleaning uses negative-pressure extraction - a large vacuum attached to the main trunk line that pulls debris from the entire system while agitation tools loosen buildup inside each duct run, the individual passages that carry air to and from rooms. We photograph every run before and after. A typical Littleton residential job runs $380-$580 for a single-system home.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Littleton’s commercial base includes medical offices along Broadway, retail at Southwest Plaza, and professional buildings near the Littleton Downtown station. Commercial systems typically feature larger gauge metal ductwork, rooftop units, and more complex zoning. We clean these after hours when possible to avoid disrupting operations, and we document the work with the same photo record included on every visit. Commercial pricing in Littleton starts around $890 for smaller systems and scales with square footage and access complexity.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts push conditioned air into your rooms. In Highlands Ranch homes with 80126 and 80130 zip codes, we find these runs often clogged at the first elbow where years of Chinook-driven dust has settled. We do not clean only the visible register - we access the full run, photograph the interior, and remove debris at the source. Supply-only cleaning in Littleton runs $220-$340 when the return system is already clear.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the air handler for reconditioning. These are larger, often shared between rooms, and frequently skipped by low-price contractors who focus only on supply registers. In historic Littleton ranches, return trunks run through unconditioned crawl spaces where rodents and moisture have introduced contamination we document with camera inspection. Return cleaning in Littleton typically adds $160-$280 to a supply cleaning when done together.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Littleton
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush agitation systems, Nikro HEPA-filtered negative-pressure machines, and Honeywell media filters we install where appropriate. We stock Aprilaire filtration upgrades for Littleton customers whose systems need better particle capture after cleaning, particularly relevant after severe wildfire smoke seasons. Every brand we name can be verified independently; we do not make performance claims beyond manufacturer specifications. Parts for these systems are held at our Denver coordination office, so turnaround on filter replacements and minor repairs is typically same-week for Littleton appointments.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Littleton Homes
- Block-level flex-duct failure in Highlands Ranch. Because 1990s-2005 tracts in 80126 and 80130 were built in tight phases by the same crews, adjacent homes share identical builder-grade flex-duct layouts and ages. When one homeowner’s system is crushed and loaded with dust, the neighbor’s system has the identical failure. We have cleaned entire cul-de-sacs in the same season.
- Fiberglass liner degradation in historic Littleton ranches. The 1950s-1970s homes near Downtown Littleton and along South Broadway often contain original fiberglass-lined sheet-metal ductwork. This liner becomes brittle after decades, sheds into the airstream, and is mistaken for ordinary dust during quick blow-through cleanings. Our camera inspection identifies active liner degradation before we quote.
- Partial-system cleaning by low-price contractors. In dense Highlands Ranch tracts, some contractors clean only the easy supply registers and skip the shared return trunk and air handler. The bulk of debris recirculates, and the customer sees no lasting difference. Our Full System Cleaning scope is defined in writing before work starts.
- Shared dryer vent stacks in multi-unit buildings. In Littleton condos and townhomes, dryer vents often run through common chases. Lint accumulates in the shared run where no single homeowner can see it. We inspect and clean these stacked systems with specialized access tools, not standard residential equipment.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Littleton
Because Highlands Ranch’s 1990s-2005 tracts were built in tight phases by the same crews, adjacent homes in 80126 and 80130 often share the exact same builder-grade flex-duct age and layout. On a cul-de-sac in Highlands Ranch 80126, our tech pulled a sagging 1998 builder-grade flex run from the air handler and found it crushed and loaded with dust from years of Chinook-driven particulate. We ran camera inspection through the supply and return ducts, used agitation tools under negative pressure with HEPA filtration, and source-removed the debris; for homeowners needing equipment service, we also provide Lennox repair in Littleton; the neighboring house had the identical failure at the identical age. If your street was built in a single phase, your ductwork is the same age as your neighbor’s. Call (720) 315-7291 for an inspection - estimates are free.
We use compact Nikro portable HEPA units and smaller-diameter hose sets that fit through standard doorways and elevator clearances, and we coordinate parking with building management before arrival. In Littleton multi-unit buildings near the Downtown station and along Santa Fe Drive, we have worked with HOA managers to reserve loading zones and schedule around tenant move-ins. The scope and price are written before work starts, same as any single-family job. Call (720) 315-7291 to discuss your building’s specific access constraints.
Yes, and in multi-unit Littleton buildings, this is often necessary for safety. Shared stacks accumulate lint in common runs that no single homeowner can see or reach with consumer tools. We use flexible camera systems to inspect the full stack, then clean with rotary tools and negative-pressure extraction designed for confined vertical runs. Pricing for shared-stack dryer vent cleaning in Littleton runs $280-$450 depending on height and access. We document the full run with photos. Call (720) 315-7291 for a written estimate.
Full system cleaning covers every supply duct run, every return duct run, the plenum (the main distribution box attached to your air handler), and the air handler cabinet itself - photographed before and after. In historic Littleton ranches with original fiberglass-lined galvanized ductwork, we first run a video inspection to assess liner condition. If the liner is actively degrading, we note this in the written scope and may recommend repair or sealing before cleaning proceeds. The price for a full system in these homes typically falls at the higher end of our $380-$720 range due to access difficulty and the care required with brittle materials. Call (720) 315-7291 to schedule an inspection.
Wildfire smoke pulls fine particulate and odor compounds into HVAC systems, where they adhere to duct walls and recirculate until physically removed. Littleton’s position on the Front Range at 5,360 feet puts it directly in the path of smoke plumes from fires in the foothills and western slopes; the 2020 and 2021 seasons were particularly severe here. Standard filtration does not remove smoke odor from ductwork. We use source-removal cleaning under negative pressure with HEPA filtration, and we inspect with cameras to verify particulate removal. If odor persists after mechanical cleaning, we can discuss air quality and sanitizing options using equipment from Abatement Technologies and Guardsman. Call (720) 315-7291 for an inspection and written scope.
