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 (806) 606-6902 for a written price before any work starts.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Lafayette’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Lafayette homeowners call us because we put the price in writing, then document what we find inside the ductwork. No other variable matters when you’re deciding who to trust with a system that moves the air your family breathes. Our techs know this town’s housing stock: the original flex-duct runs in Coal Creek Ranch and Indian Peaks West, the sheet metal trunks in Old Town’s coal-mining era bungalows, the shared dryer vent stacks in newer apartment and condo buildings along Highway 287. That knowledge changes what we look for and how we clean it.
We’re independently owned and operated under the H.A.V.E.N. Standard, led by Tomas Reyes. Every CleanRun technician is background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before arrival at your Lafayette home. Our crews operate under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. That’s not a marketing phrase. It’s a written operating rule we’ve followed on every job since our first clean in 2013.
Lafayette is not a suburb we “serve” from a call center. Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our Denver office, but our crews are in Lafayette weekly and know the access challenges: narrow Old Town alleys, steep cul-de-sac driveways in Coal Creek Ranch, HOA scheduling windows in Indian Peaks. That local presence means fewer surprises on the day of the work.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Lafayette
Residential Duct Cleaning
A standard single-family home in Lafayette takes about half a day. We remove every register cover, create negative pressure at the plenum (the main distribution box where ducts connect to the furnace), and work each duct run with agitation tools and HEPA-filtered extraction. The camera goes in before and after so you see the difference in your own system, not a stock photo.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Lafayette’s medical offices along Exempla Circle, the retail spaces on South Public Road, and the industrial bays east of 287 all have different HVAC layouts than homes. We schedule commercial work around business hours and provide a documented photo record for every duct run, which helps with compliance documentation and tenant communication. Written scope, written price, no exceptions.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts move heated or cooled air from your furnace to each room. In Lafayette’s wind-prone geography, these runs pull in fine dust from Chinook storms that crosses from east of Highway 287. We isolate and clean supply runs separately from return runs, because the debris profile in each is different. A camera inspection tells us which runs need full source removal versus standard extraction.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts carry air back to the furnace to be conditioned. In Lafayette homes built in the 1980s and 1990s, the original fiberglass duct-board return pans often hold more embedded material than the supply side because return air moves slower and isn’t filtered before entering the duct. We treat these as their own scope item, with before-and-after photos of every return run.
We also offer Air Duct Cleaning as a full system service for owners who want supply and return sides done together, plus Video Inspection and Full System Cleaning for homes that have never been cleaned or that show evidence of Marshall Fire residue.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Lafayette
We stock replacement filters, access door gaskets, and flexible duct connectors for the systems most common in Lafayette homes: Honeywell media cabinets and electronic air cleaners, Aprilaire whole-home humidifiers, and Abatement Technologies HEPA-filtered extraction units. If we find a cracked duct-board return pan or a crushed flex run during a cleaning, we can often repair or replace it the same day rather than scheduling a second visit. Bring us a competitor’s written estimate and we’ll put our number next to it in writing. That’s a Free Second Opinion, and it costs nothing.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Lafayette Homes
- Marshall Fire residue on duct interiors. The December 30, 2021 fire burned less than two miles west of Lafayette, and 100-mph Chinook winds drove ash past filters into thousands of local HVAC systems. We find gray-brown soot deposits fused to duct-board interiors in homes from Indian Peaks to Coal Creek Ranch that standard brush cleaning would never dislodge.
- Fiberglass duct-board dust adhesion. Lafayette’s 1980s-2000s tract homes were built with fiberglass liner panels, not bare sheet metal. The woven surface traps fine dust, pollen, and biological material far more aggressively than sheet metal. Homes along Arapahoe Road and Baseline Road built in this era frequently need more aggressive agitation than a basic vacuum pass provides.
- Shared dryer vent stacks in multi-family buildings. Several Lafayette condo and apartment complexes, especially those built in the last 15 years near South Public Road and Highway 287, route dryer exhausts through shared vertical stacks. Lint from one unit accumulates in another’s pathway. That’s not just inefficient, it’s a fire risk, and it needs camera documentation to confirm which unit’s run is actually clogged.
- Restricted access in Old Town. Many early-1900s homes in Old Town Lafayette have narrow utility access and non-standard duct transitions added over decades of renovations. Our crews run compact negative-pressure units that fit through basement access points where larger rigs can’t go. If we can’t access an upper-floor return, we don’t claim the system is clean.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Lafayette, CO
A full-system residential duct cleaning in Lafayette runs $430-$890, depending on home size, number of registers, and whether the system includes fiberglass duct-board or flexible ducting that needs more aggressive source removal. Commercial spaces run higher based on square footage and duct configuration. Homes with confirmed Marshall Fire residue typically land at the upper end because full source removal requires HEPA extraction and longer agitation time per run. CleanRun quotes one flat written price per system before any work starts. You’ll see that number on paper and you’ll approve it before a single register cover comes off. That’s Haven Standard Clause 1. No per-vent pricing, no “estimate” that changes once we start. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll walk through your system type and give you an honest range.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Lafayette
The only reliable way to confirm Marshall Fire residue is a camera inspection of the supply trunks and return pans. Ash that fused to fiberglass duct-board during the December 2021 wind event looks like a gray-brown coating, not loose dust. You won’t see it by removing a register cover and shining a flashlight. We include a full video inspection with every Lafayette cleaning, and the before-and-after record shows you exactly what was in there. If you’re unsure whether your system was cleaned after the fire, call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll schedule an inspection first.
Yes, and here’s why. Lafayette sits at about 5,200 feet where Chinook winds regularly gust 60-80 mph, pulling fine agricultural dust from east of Highway 287 and wildfire smoke from across the region directly into home air intakes. Because winters force heated air through sealed homes from October through April with no open-window flush, that particulate builds inside duct systems month after month. Front Range neighbors like Boulder get wind too, but Lafayette’s position directly downslope from the Marshall Fire burn scar adds a layer of combustion ash few other cities face.
Yes. Many of Lafayette’s newer multi-family buildings along the Highway 287 corridor and near South Public Road route multiple units’ dryer exhausts through a shared vertical stack. That means a lint blockage in unit 2B may have originated in 4A. When we clean a shared stack, we camera the entire run before and after and document which unit’s pathway was restricted. Property managers and HOAs appreciate the documentation because it removes guesswork about liability. Homeowners in stacked configurations should not attempt to clean their own dryer vents, as the risk of pushing lint further into a shared stack is real.
Yes, and we do it carefully. Old Town homes built in the coal-mining era often have sheet metal trunks and transitions that were patched and extended over decades. Aggressive rotating brushes can separate joints or puncture thin metal. Our techs use agitation tools sized to the duct dimensions, and we camera-inspect each run before choosing an approach. We’ve cleaned ductwork in 1920s bungalows along Cleveland Street and East Simpson Street without damage, because the camera told us exactly where the fragile connections were. If we find a joint already loose or disconnected, we’ll show you the photo and quote the repair as a separate line item.
Fiberglass duct-board has a woven interior surface, not a smooth one. Dust, skin flakes, pollen, and smoke particulates embed into the fibers rather than settling on top. When Marshall Fire ash passed through these systems in 2021, the ash bonded directly to the fiberglass liner. Standard brush cleaning skims the surface and leaves embedded material behind. We use HEPA-filtered negative pressure with agitation tools designed for source removal, which extracts material from the fibers themselves. Homes in Coal Creek Ranch and the Indian Peaks subdivisions with original 1990s duct-board systems benefit most from this approach.
Key Takeaways for Lafayette Homeowners
- Marshall Fire ash may still be embedded in your duct interiors, even if you changed filters since 2021.
- Fiberglass duct-board systems from the 1980s-2000s build-up particulate faster than sheet metal and need source removal, not just vacuuming.
- Shared dryer vent stacks in Lafayette’s multi-family buildings create cross-unit lint accumulation and fire risk.
- Old Town homes need camera-guided cleaning to protect aging sheet-metal duct joints.
- We quote one flat written price per system before any work starts, every time.
If your Lafayette home has never had its ducts professionally inspected or cleaned, or if you’re not sure whether Marshall Fire residue is still circulating through your system, call (806) 606-6902. We’ll send a technician who will show you the inside of your ducts on camera before recommending anything. Written price, documented result, 365-Day Done Right Promise. That’s how we work in Lafayette.
