How CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Irving Was Born in Irving
We remember the exact afternoon. It was late summer, the kind of day in Irving where the AC runs nonstop and the air outside feels like a wall. A homeowner in Valley Ranch had called us, frustrated. She’d hired a company off a coupon, watched them spend forty minutes in her house, and paid them $79. Two weeks later, her daughter’s asthma flared up worse than before. We brought a camera scope and showed her what was still inside her ducts. Dust packed against the dampers. Construction debris from a 2019 renovation. The other crew had never even reached the main trunk line.
That night, we sat in our truck outside her house and made a decision. Irving deserved a branch of CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning that would actually do the work. Not the coupon version. The real version. We opened here in 2013, the same year the parent brand started, because this market needed someone who would photograph every run before and after, quote a flat price in writing, and never pretend a shop vac at one register was a job finished.
Tomas Reyes’s Personal Connection to the Air Duct Cleaning Trade
We didn’t stumble into this work. We were pulled into it by curiosity and held there by something we still can’t fully explain.
Before 2013, we were the person who fixed things for friends. A furnace that wouldn’t ignite in a Carrollton garage. A dryer vent that kept tripping the thermal fuse in a Euless rental. The first time we opened a supply plenum and saw what years of neglect looked like, the smell hit us. Not dirty, exactly. Stale. Like a closed room no one had entered in years. We ran a brush through the first section and the dust that came out was gray and heavy, the kind that settles in corners and behind bookshelves. We understood something in that moment. This was hidden work. The kind most homeowners never see and most companies never actually do.
We trained under a tradesman who taught us the old way. How to read a duct layout from the basement. How to feel for leaks with the back of your hand. How to know when a flex duct has collapsed without looking, just by the static pressure reading. He was particular. He made us clean our own tools twice. That stuck with us. The work is in the details no one will check.
What gets us out of bed is the before-and-after. Not the sales version. The actual photographs we hand to homeowners. We’ve seen a mother in Southlake cry when we showed her what her nursery vent contained. We’ve watched a grandfather in Grand Prairie hold the photo printout and say, “I lived with that for twelve years.” That’s why we do this. If we weren’t doing duct work, we’d probably be in some other trade where the evidence matters. Home inspection, maybe. Something where you can point to the truth.
Thirteen years in, the smell of a fresh return still reminds us of that first plenum. The work hasn’t gotten old. The industry tricks have, but the work never does.
Meet Tomas Reyes - The Person Behind Every Job
Tomas Reyes is the Owner and Founder of this branch. He holds state licensure for HVAC and duct cleaning work in Texas, carries full insurance and bonding, and has spent thirteen years working the specific duct systems found in Irving-area homes, from the older galvanized steel in established Grapevine neighborhoods to the flex-duct installations common in newer Flower Mound builds.
Tomas is trained on Nikro and Abatement Technologies equipment, the same systems used in hospital and commercial remediation settings. What separates him from a corporate franchise technician is simple: he’s the one who answers for the work. His name is on the estimate, his crew carries his standards, and his phone is the one that rings if something isn’t right.
Outside of work, Tomas rebuilds vintage motorcycles. The patience required to true a wheel or set valve clearance is the same patience he applies to a stubborn main trunk line. He believes anything worth doing requires you to slow down enough to do it twice if necessary.
His commitment to every homeowner is direct: “If I wouldn’t run my own family past the work we did, we redo it. No argument.”
Before
AfterOur Promise to Irving Homeowners
We operate under The Haven Standard, a five-clause code that governs every job we take. H.A.V.E.N. stands for:
- H - Have it in writing. Every job starts with a flat price, a written scope, and a written warranty. Clause 1 means no verbal quotes, no “we’ll figure it out when we get there.” We learned this the hard way in our first year, when a homeowner in North Richland Hills was burned by a competitor’s phone estimate that doubled on arrival. We will never do that to anyone.
- A - Arrive on schedule. A real window, a named technician, a text when we’re on the way. Not “sometime between 8 and 5.”
- V - Verified crews. Every pro working under our name is required to hold the license and insurance their state requires. License numbers are on your invoice. Background checks are on file.
- E - Evidence on every job. Photos and readings of what we actually found. The camera doesn’t flatter us, and we don’t ask it to. If your ducts are cleaner than expected, we’ll show you that too.
- N - No surprises. No door upsell. No scope creep. No “while we’re in here.” The price we write is the price you pay.
We also use Honeywell and Aprilaire components where replacement is needed, not generic parts that fail in two seasons. And we stand behind every job with our documented record system. If you have a question six months later, we pull your file.

These credentials matter because duct cleaning happens inside your home, often while you’re present, and always in systems that affect the air your family breathes. A state license means we’ve met Texas’s technical standards. Insurance and bonding mean you’re protected if something goes wrong. Thirteen years in this specific market means we’ve worked on the duct configurations common to your neighborhood, whether that’s the slab-duct systems in older Irving ranch homes or the zoned installations in newer Southlake builds. And a reputation built on evidence, not advertising spend, means you can verify our claims by asking your neighbors.
Rooted in Irving
Our trucks leave from here every morning. We’ve cleaned ducts in Las Colinas high-rises and in single-story homes near the old Texas Stadium site. We know the cottonwood season that clogs outdoor intakes in May, the caliche dust that gets pulled into systems near the Trinity River floodplain, and the particular mustiness that settles into vacation rentals near DFW Airport when the AC sits idle between tenants.
We don’t sponsor Little League teams or claim to have grown up on every block. We’re honest about what we are: a local branch of CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning, independently owned and operated, serving the same zip codes where we quote jobs and return for warranty calls. Irving is where we prove the standard, one run at a time.
