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.

AfterFranchise Investment Overview
We believe a duct cleaning franchise should be priced the same way a duct cleaning job is priced: in writing, up front, without games. This page lays out realistic investment ranges based on what it actually costs to launch an independently owned CleanRun location. These are marketing estimates meant to help you plan, not a legal offering. Exact figures come later, during qualification, in writing. If you’re the kind of person who wants to see the camera footage before you buy, this is the page for you. We photographed inside 52,000 homes since 2013. We’ll show you the numbers the same way.
Estimated Startup Investment
Every market is different, but the line items below are consistent across launches. Ranges reflect the variance between a single-van operation in a mid-sized metro and a two-van launch in a dense, competitive city. We name the equipment brands because they’re on our trucks: Rotobrush, Nikro, Abatement Technologies, Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman. A franchisee doesn’t get a brochure and a prayer. They get a system that has documented every job since the first one.
| Investment Category | Estimated Range |
|---|---|
| Franchise Fee | $35,000 - $55,000 |
| Equipment & Vehicles | $70,000 - $110,000 |
| Initial Marketing & Launch | $15,000 - $25,000 |
| Working Capital (first 6 months) | $30,000 - $50,000 |
| Total Estimated Investment | $150,000 - $240,000 |
Those are honest ranges for a business that shows up with professional-grade equipment and a documentation system, not a shop vac and a magnet for the side of a pickup. The working capital number matters because it covers the quiet first months while your local reputation builds. We’ve seen what happens when a new owner is undercapitalized: they start cutting corners on the thing that made the brand worth buying. The Haven Standard doesn’t have a discount setting.
What’s Included
- Brand license and operating system - the CleanRun name, the documentation platform, and the full Haven Standard operating manual, clause by clause.
- Initial training - hands-on instruction on Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies equipment, plus the exact photo and reporting protocol used on all 52,000+ homes since 2013.
- Launch marketing package - local website, listing setup, and initial campaign structure tailored to your territory, with the written-price positioning built in from day one.
- Documentation and CRM systems - the same platform that delivers before-and-after photo records to every customer, every visit, no exceptions.
- Territory protection - a defined service area so you build equity in one map, not a bidding war with the franchisee next door.
- Ongoing support and buying power - group purchasing on equipment, filters, and sanitizing products through Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman lines.
BeforeAfterFinancing & Next Steps
Third-party financing for equipment and startup costs is common in this industry. Lenders familiar with home service franchises will typically look at equipment financing for the Rotobrush and Nikro packages, small business loans for working capital, and sometimes SBA-eligible structures depending on your situation. We don’t arrange financing ourselves and we don’t make promises about what a lender will approve. What we do is hand you a written breakdown with real line items so a banker or a business partner can see exactly what the money is for.
The process to get exact numbers is simple. You call us. You talk to a live person. You request the qualification packet. If you meet the financial requirements, you receive the official documents with figures specific to your market and your proposed territory size. No pressure, no countdown clock, no “this offer expires Friday.” If you’re serious about owning an independently operated CleanRun location, call (806) 606-6902 or request the information kit below. We’ll send you what we know. Then you decide.
All figures on this page are non-binding marketing estimates for planning purposes. Actual investment amounts vary by market and are provided in official documents only after qualification.
