Air Duct Cleaning Company in Boulder, CO
If your ducts are leaking, crushed or pulling smoke and grit into the house, air duct repair is the job that actually fixes it. Boulder sits against the Flatirons, where Chinook downslope winds and Front Range wildfire smoke push fine particulate straight into crawlspace and attic returns, and older homes here are full of banded flex duct with joints that never sealed well to begin with. We clean and we repair, so you get an honest read on whether your system needs contact cleaning, structural work, or both. Call (877) 550-7147 for a free estimate. We answer 24/7.
Why Boulder Homes Are Different
The dust story people expect is not the story here. In Boulder, duct work is dominated by smoke. Fires west and north of the city send smoke events across the Front Range, and that smoke does not politely stay outdoors. In south Boulder ranches and the mid-century homes east of downtown, flex duct sections running through unconditioned crawlspaces and attics often connect close to outdoor vents. When a smoke event drives pressure against the envelope, it literally pressurizes the duct run, and technicians regularly find ash and fine soot sitting in return boots after a bad fire week.
Housing stock splits the work in two. Older ranches carry leaky flex with tape-and-collapse joints. The newer high-performance homes around Gunbarrel and east Boulder run sealed rigid systems that move air well but leave little tolerance for a badly reconnected trunk. Boulder’s energy-efficiency culture runs deep, and that cuts both ways: homeowners here know what a leaky return costs them in efficiency, and they ask sharper questions about sealing than most markets do. Demand also clusters around fire season and after high-wind events, not in a mild spring cleaning window.

Our Main Boulder Services
Two jobs come up most often when Boulder homeowners call us, and both start with the same question: is the problem the dirt inside the system or the system itself?
Air Duct Cleaning in Boulder
Cleaning in Boulder means contact cleaning, not a shop vac waved at a register. We run Rotobrush contact-cleaning tools through the runs and hold the space under negative pressure with a Nikro HEPA machine so dislodged debris leaves the house instead of settling in the living room. After a smoke week, the priority is the returns, where ash and fine soot collect first. Read more about Air Duct Cleaning in Boulder to see what a full-system scope covers and how we document before-and-after conditions with photos of your own ducts.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Boulder
A clogged dryer vent is a fire-safety problem, not a convenience one, and we treat it with its own process and equipment rather than tacking it onto a duct visit. Lint packs the run, airflow drops, and the dryer starts running hot. In tight newer homes around Gunbarrel, longer vent runs make that buildup happen faster. See Dryer Vent Cleaning in Boulder for how we clear the full run and verify airflow at the exterior hood before we call the job done.
Air Duct Repair in Boulder
Air duct repair in Boulder is mostly a smoke-resilience and efficiency job, driven by two things: mid-century ranches with banded flex duct and leaky joints under the house or in the attic, and a climate that pushes wildfire smoke and wind-blown dust into exactly those leaky runs. Sealing and repairing the system is what stops the next smoke event from becoming an indoor air problem. That is why we treat Air Duct Repair as a service in its own right, not a footnote to cleaning.
Ductwork Repair
Signs you need it
You notice ash or fine soot collecting at return boots after a fire week, rooms that never get enough air, whistling at joints, or a crawlspace run visibly sagging or disconnected.
What it costs in Boulder
Typical ductwork repair in Boulder runs about $350 to $1,200 depending on how many joints and sections need work, and the written estimate sets the final price.
How we do it
We trace the full run with the system on, find failed joints, crushed flex and open connections, then reseal, re-support or replace the affected sections and verify airflow before we leave.
Air Duct Replacement
Signs you need it
Flex sections that are torn, contaminated past cleaning, or so collapsed that sealing will not restore flow, especially in older homes under the house or in the attic.
What it costs in Boulder
Air duct replacement typically falls in the $1,200 to $4,500 range for Boulder homes, scaled to how many runs and how much access the job needs, with the written estimate setting the final figure.
How we do it
We isolate the section, cut out the failed flex or rigid run, install new duct with properly sealed joints and correct support spacing, then rebalance and recheck pressure across the system.
What Air Duct Repair Costs in Boulder
Repair pricing depends on access and scope more than size. A single resealed joint in an open attic is a very different job from replacing runs through a tight crawlspace. These are typical estimates.
| Item | Typical range in Boulder |
|---|---|
| Ductwork repair (resealing, reconnecting, re-supporting runs) | $350 – $1,200 |
| Air duct replacement (whole sections or multiple runs) | $1,200 – $4,500 |
| Ductwork installation (new runs, additions or full replacement) | $1,200 – $4,500 |
Can you fix leaky duct joints without replacing the whole system?
Often, yes. Most Boulder homes we look at need targeted resealing and re-support at failed joints and connections rather than a full replacement. We assess the runs, tell you plainly which sections are salvageable, and quote only the work that actually solves the problem.
Will repaired ducts keep wildfire smoke out next fire season?
Sealing the leaky joints and returns closes the path smoke uses to enter the system, which makes a real difference during a Front Range smoke event. It does not replace filtration, but a sealed, clean system carrying a Honeywell or Aprilaire filter performs far better than a leaky one. Call (877) 550-7147 for a free estimate.
Brands We Service in Boulder
We work on the equipment already in your home rather than around it. That includes Honeywell and Aprilaire whole-home air filtration systems, plus Guardsman protective treatments as part of a full-service scope, and Abatement Technologies equipment when a job calls for contamination-level handling. Turnaround depends on parts and access, so the estimate tells you what to expect. See our brands for the full list.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning Company in Boulder, CO
One flat price per system, agreed before work starts, with no per-vent pricing and before-and-after photos of your own ducts so you can see what was done.
| Service | Typical range in Boulder |
|---|---|
| Full-system air duct cleaning (whole house) | $400 – $900 |
| Duct cleaning with heavy smoke or soot accumulation | $550 – $1,100 |
| Dryer vent cleaning (single run) | $120 – $250 |
| Dryer vent cleaning (long or roof-terminated run) | $180 – $350 |
| Ductwork repair (resealing, reconnecting, re-supporting runs) | $350 – $1,200 |
| Air duct replacement (whole sections or multiple runs) | $1,200 – $4,500 |
| Ductwork installation (new runs, additions or full replacement) | $1,200 – $4,500 |
In Boulder, price climbs with complexity: a long attic or crawlspace run, heavy soot after a smoke event, or multiple disconnected joints all add labor. That is exactly why we skip the teaser coupon model. You get one flat price per system agreed before work begins, and the written estimate is the final word.

What Boulder Customers Say
"Ran a negative air machine on the whole system rather than the shop vac on a stick that the cheap outfit down the road uses. Showed me the before and after photos from inside the trunk line and it was genuinely disgusting."
- Megan Parker"Found a disconnected run in the crawlspace while they were in there and told me about it rather than cleaning around it."
- Marisol Castillo"My wife's allergies had been bad in this house since we moved in. It's been two months since they did the ducts and it's noticeably better. Not a miracle, but real."
