How CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Dallas Was Born in Dallas
Back in 2013, we were working a job in East Dallas, crawling through an attic in Lakewood where the temperature had hit 140 degrees by noon. The homeowner, a retired teacher in her seventies, had paid another company $89 for a “whole house special” two weeks earlier. She showed us the receipt while we pulled a Shop-Vac hose out of her return that had been left behind, still wedged between two joists. The dust in her main trunk line hadn’t been touched. She’d been breathing it for fourteen days, thinking the work was done.
That evening we drove home across the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge with the windows down, still sweating through our shirt, and talked about what it would take to bring something different to Dallas. CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning already existed as a brand with standards we believed in, but this city needed a local branch that would actually honor them. We called the next morning about opening a Dallas location. The promise we made that night was simple: every run photographed, every price in writing before we start, no homeowner left guessing whether we were ever really in their ducts.
Tomas Reyes’s Personal Connection to the Air Duct Cleaning Trade
Tomas Reyes didn’t stumble into this work. He was pulled into it by curiosity that wouldn’t quit.
It started with a house he was renovating in Oak Cliff in 2010, back when you could still find a fixer-upper near Kiest Park for something reasonable. The HVAC system was original to 1987, and every register blew out a fine gray film that settled on the windowsills by afternoon. A company came out, ran a brush on a drill for twenty minutes, and charged him for “complete sanitization.” The film never stopped. Tomas bought a used borescope camera from a mechanic in Garland, cut an access panel himself, and spent a Saturday afternoon looking at what was actually in there. The main trunk was packed with compacted dust, construction debris from three decades prior, and a dead bird mummified against the damper. The “complete” cleaning had reached maybe four feet from each register.
He spent the next three weekends building a proper rotary brush system from parts at Grainger, running it off a portable compressor, learning how negative pressure actually works. The smell when that first section of trunk line opened up was unforgettable, a mix of mildew, old drywall, and something like wet newspaper that had been baking for years. But the feeling afterward, looking through the borescope at bare galvanized steel that actually reflected the light, that was something else. He called his wife down to look. She didn’t care about ducts, but she could see that he did.
By 2013 he’d done enough side jobs to know this was the work. Not the money, though the money was better when you didn’t have to lie about what you were doing. It was the moment at the end of a job, pulling up the before-and-after photos on a tablet, watching a homeowner’s face change when they saw what had been living in their walls. That’s what still gets Tomas out of bed. If he weren’t doing this, he’d probably be restoring old motorcycles in a garage somewhere, chasing that same feeling of making something right that everyone else had given up on.
Thirteen years later, he’s still climbing attics in July, still carrying that borescope, still showing customers their own ducts because he remembers what it felt like to be lied to about what was in them.
Meet Tomas Reyes - The Person Behind Every Job
Tomas Reyes is the Owner and Founder of CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Dallas. He holds state licensing for HVAC and duct cleaning work in Texas and carries full insurance and bonding for every job his team performs.
His training came the hard way: thousands of hours in attics and crawl spaces across Dallas County, working with rotary brush systems from Nikro and Abatement Technologies, learning how Aprilaire media filters interact with airflow in older Ranch-style homes versus new construction in Frisco. He’s certified in NADCA methods and has completed manufacturer training on Honeywell whole-house filtration integration.
What separates Tomas from a corporate franchise technician is that he’s still on jobs. Not every one, but enough that he knows which houses in Casa View have transite ductwork from the 1960s and which neighborhoods in Richardson are seeing mold in flex runs because of how the builders sealed the plenums in 2004. He keeps a 1978 Ford F-250 in his driveway that he’s been restoring for eight years, which tells you something about how he approaches work he cares about: methodically, completely, with no shortcuts.
If you hire CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Dallas, Tomas Reyes personally guarantees your price in writing before anyone touches your system, and your documentation package when we leave. That’s not a slogan. That’s how he works.
Before
AfterOur Promise to Dallas Homeowners
We operate under The Haven Standard, five clauses that govern every job we take in Dallas, Mesquite, Garland, and every city we serve.
Clause 1: Have it in writing. Every quote is a flat price per system, not per vent, not per “zone.” The scope is written, the warranty is written, and you sign it before we start. We learned this after watching a homeowner in Irving get a $79 quote that became $847 on the invoice. That doesn’t happen here because the price is fixed before we unload the van.
Clause 2: Arrive on schedule. We give you a real window, a named technician, and a text when they’re on the way. Not because we’re fast, but because your time matters and waiting around for a four-hour window that stretches to six is disrespectful.
Clause 3: Verified crews. Every pro working under our name is required to hold the license and insurance their state requires, and we carry the bonding that protects your property while we’re in it.
Clause 4: Evidence on every job. Before and after photos of every run, every time, since our first Dallas job in 2013. We use Nikro and Abatement Technologies equipment that lets us document what we found, not what we claim we found.
Clause 5: No surprises. No door upsell, no “while we’re in here” scope creep, no ozone treatment you didn’t ask for. The price we agree to is the price you pay.
Our Credentials
- State-licensed for HVAC and air duct cleaning work in Texas
- Insured & bonded for residential and commercial properties
- Over a decade of local experience serving Dallas and surrounding communities since 2013
- Strong local reputation built on documented work and verified customer records
These credentials matter because air duct cleaning happens inside your home’s hidden spaces, where you can’t watch every move. State licensing means we’ve met Texas requirements for technical competence. Insurance and bonding mean if something goes wrong, your property is protected. Local experience means we know which Dallas neighborhoods have clay soil that shifts ductwork, which areas built in the 1980s used inferior flex duct that collapses, and how the pollen load from Texas cedar elm affects what accumulates in your returns. You don’t have to take our word for any of it. The Haven Standard requires we prove it with photos and written documentation on every job.
Rooted in Dallas
We’ve cleaned ducts in the historic homes of Swiss Avenue, the post-war brick ranches of Richardson, and the new construction popping up along the Trinity River corridor. We’ve worked through August heat waves when attic temperatures hit 150 degrees and January cold snaps when homeowners first notice their system isn’t breathing right. Our trucks have been parked on streets from Lakewood to Lake Highlands, from Mesquite to Coppell. We’re not a national chain pretending to be local. We’re a Dallas branch of CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning, independently owned and operated, held to standards that apply across every city we serve but executed by people who know this specific soil, this specific pollen, this specific building stock. The brand gives us the system. We give it our neighbors.
