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.

AfterFast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Oakland Park
Air duct cleaning in Oakland Park runs $450-$950 for a full single-family system, and on most jobs we’re there within two to three business days. That’s the direct answer. But the reason you’re probably reading this is that your home was built between 1955 and 1975, the AC was added years after the house went up, and now the ducts are doing things you can hear but not see. We know those houses. We work in them every week, from the CBS ranches off Prospect Road to the split-levels near Lloyd Estates. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll put a written price in front of you before a single panel comes off.
Most Oakland Park homes we clean have ductwork that was retrofitted through unconditioned attics, which changes how the job gets done. Flex runs sag. Condensation pools. Mold takes hold where it shouldn’t. A standard surface vacuum won’t fix that, and we won’t pretend it will. What we do instead is open the system, photograph every run before and after, and hand you a documented record of what was actually inside. That’s what Air Duct Cleaning means when the house is 60 years old and the attic hits 140°F in July.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Oakland Park’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’re not the cheapest option in Oakland Park, and we’d rather tell you that now than show up with a low coupon and a surprise invoice. Homeowners in this city have dealt with enough of that. What we do instead is name the price before work starts, in writing, under Haven Standard Clause 1. You get the full scope, the full cost, and a photo record of every duct run when the crew finishes. No per-vent upselling. No “while we’re in here” additions. Tomas Reyes built this company in 2013 on a simple principle: show the customer what you found before you ask them to pay for the fix.
Oakland Park customers keep calling us back for a reason. We’re not a franchise with a rotating crew list. We’re an independently owned operation with background-checked technicians who arrive in uniform, identify themselves by name, and work under the H.A.V.E.N. Standard. That includes Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. It’s not marketing language. It’s a written operational rule. And when a job’s done, the 365-Day Done Right Promise means if the work isn’t right, we make it right. In writing. Not subject to a manager’s mood.
Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our Miami (South FL) office, and our crews serve Oakland Park locally on a regular rotation. We know the neighborhoods. We know the housing stock. We know what a return flex run looks like after four decades in a Broward County attic. That local familiarity means we don’t waste your time diagnosing the wrong problem. We’ve probably already seen it three times this month.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Oakland Park
Residential Duct Cleaning
Most residential homes in Oakland Park are single-story CBS ranches with ductwork in the attic. We clean the entire system: supply runs, return runs, the plenum, and the trunk line. The process uses negative-pressure extraction to pull debris out rather than push it around, and every run is photographed before and after. For a typical 1,400-square-foot ranch, expect $450-$750 depending on the number of runs and how long it’s been since the last cleaning. Most jobs finish in three to five hours.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Oakland Park’s commercial spaces along Dixie Highway and Commercial Boulevard often have rooftop units feeding long duct runs. Dust, debris, and occasionally mold build up in those systems just as quickly as in homes, and the consequences show up in employee complaints and utility bills. We handle offices, retail spaces, and small medical suites. Commercial pricing starts around $1,200 and scales with the square footage and number of units. We provide a written scope before any equipment gets moved.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts carry conditioned air from the air handler to each register. In Oakland Park’s older homes, these runs are often flex duct that’s lost its shape over decades of heat. When we clean supply ducts, we’re also looking for sagging sections, micro-tears, and collapsed spots that starve certain rooms of airflow. A supply-only cleaning on a three-bedroom CBS home runs $250-$400. If we find structural damage, we’ll show you the photo before we recommend anything.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the system, and in Oakland Park’s retrofitted homes, these are the runs most likely to have problems. They’re often larger, routed through awkward attic paths, and they collect condensation that turns dust into paste. We emphasize return duct cleaning on these older systems because a dirty return run re-contaminates the entire system within weeks. Return-side cleaning for a typical ranch runs $200-$350, and it’s often the single highest-impact part of the job. We’ll show you the before photos. You’ll understand why.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Oakland Park
We maintain and clean systems built around equipment from every major manufacturer, including Honeywell, Rotobrush, and Nikro components. Our own equipment roster includes professional-grade machines from Rotobrush and Nikro, which means the extraction equipment is what commercial cleaning standards require, not a shop vac with a long hose. For Oakland Park homeowners, that translates to a job that removes debris instead of relocating it. We stock common replacement parts and sealing materials locally, so if your ducts need support straps or tape, we’re not waiting on a parts order to finish the job.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Oakland Park Homes
- Sagging flex runs in low-slope attic retrofits. When central AC was added to a 1960s CBS ranch, the duct path was whatever fit. That often means a low-slope flex run that sags between trusses and pools condensation. We see this on nearly every pre-1980 home we service.
- Micro-tears in 40-50-year-old flex duct. Flex duct has a plastic liner that degrades in attic heat. Once it splits, the system pulls in 140°F attic air through the tear. Your AC runs constantly, your rooms never cool, and the filter never catches any of it because the air bypasses the filter entirely.
- Crushed or disconnected sections above ceilings. We’ve found return runs that came loose from the plenum entirely, sucking attic insulation into the system. We’ve found supply runs crushed under stored boxes or roof repairs. The register in that room blows weak, and cleaning alone won’t fix it. The run needs reconnection and support.
- Mold-laced dust caked on interior duct surfaces. Broward County humidity stays above 70% most of the year. Inside a cold duct, that means condensation. Dust sticks to condensation. Mold feeds on that organic layer. A surface-only clean removes the top layer and leaves the colony. Our source removal process strips it down to the duct liner.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Oakland Park, FL
Here are the numbers we quote in Oakland Park, in writing, before work starts. A full residential system cleaning runs $450-$950 for a single-family home, with most jobs landing between $550 and $750. A return duct cleaning runs $200-$350. Supply duct cleaning runs $250-$400. If we find structural problems that need sealing or support work, we’ll quote that separately in writing and show you the photos that justify the work. You can accept or decline. No pressure. No surprise charges. If you have a written estimate from another Oakland Park company, bring it to us. We’ll put our number next to it, line by line, at no cost. Then you decide.
What affects the price: the number of duct runs, the age and condition of the flex duct, whether we need to access runs from the attic or through interior access panels, and whether there’s mold requiring remediation rather than standard cleaning. Homes with ducts retrofitted through tight attic spaces sometimes take longer simply because access is harder. We’ll tell you that upfront. Call (806) 606-6902 and get a written scope and price.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Oakland Park
Oakland Park’s homes are disproportionately 1950s-1970s concrete block construction where central AC was retrofitted after original construction. That retrofit pattern routed flex duct through unconditioned attics that reach 140°F in summer. Heat degrades flex duct liners. Humidity above 70% condenses on cold interior surfaces. Dust binds to that moisture and accumulates faster than in newer homes or high-rise units with conditioned mechanical rooms. If your home was built before 1980 and still has original retrofit ductwork, you’re fighting both age and climate. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written assessment.
Yes, in most cases. We use negative-pressure extraction with HEPA filtration, which means we pull debris out through the existing register openings rather than cutting new access panels. We also photograph every run to verify the interior surfaces are actually clean. If the flex duct is too degraded to hold airflow, we’ll show you the photos and recommend partial replacement, but we won’t push replacement when cleaning plus sealing does the job. The camera tells the truth either way.
NADCA (the National Air Duct Cleaners Association) sets the industry standard for source removal: debris must be extracted from the duct system itself, not simply brushed and pushed around. For Oakland Park homes, that matters because the problem is often inside the run, not at the register face. We clean to NADCA’s source removal standard, and we document every run with before and after photos so you can verify the work meets that bar. Call (806) 606-6902 to schedule an assessment.
For Oakland Park’s older CBS ranches with retrofit attic ductwork, we recommend cleaning every three to five years, more frequently if anyone in the home has respiratory issues or if you have pets that shed. The combination of attic heat, Broward humidity, and aging flex duct means debris accumulates faster here than in most of the country. If you can’t remember the last time your ducts were cleaned, in a home with 40-plus-year-old duct runs, that’s information enough. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll tell you what we’d do in your situation.
We clean first, then we inspect. If the cleaning reveals micro-tears, sagging runs, or disconnected sections, we’ll quote the sealing and support work separately in writing with photos of exactly what we found. Some Oakland Park homes need only cleaning. Others need structural correction before cleaning results will last. We’ll never bundle sealing into the cleaning price without telling you. We’ll show you the evidence and let you decide. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written scope.
Last week our crew cleaned a three-bedroom CBS ranch just off Prospect Road, built in 1962 with window units until a central system was squeezed into the attic in the 1980s. We found a 25-foot return flex run sagging below the roof deck, holding condensed water and a quarter-inch of mold-laced dust. After source removal with negative pressure and HEPA filtration, our techs supported the run with new straps, sealed two micro-tears, and verified airflow at every register. The blower motor no longer sounded like it was gasping. That’s the difference between a surface clean and a real fix, and it’s the kind of thing we find constantly in Oakland Park’s older ranch homes.
If your ducts haven’t been cleaned in years, or you know your home has original retrofit flex runs, or you simply want to see what’s actually inside your system, call (806) 606-6902. We’ll give you a written price before we open a single panel. We’ll photograph everything. And we’ll back the work with the 365-Day Done Right Promise.
