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 Dryer Vent Cleaning Across Westminster
Dryer vent cleaning in Westminster typically costs $180-$340 for a standard single-run system, with vent rerouting or access-cut jobs running $450-$780 depending on wall construction. Most appointments are scheduled within a few business days, and every job starts with a written price before any work begins.
We’ve been driving to Westminster since 2013, and our crews know the difference between a 2020 build in Bradburn and a 1982 ranch off 92nd Avenue. The problems we find are rarely the same. That’s why our Dryer Vent Cleaning team runs a camera first, names what we see, and puts the price in writing before a single panel comes off. Call (720) 799-2292 to schedule. Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our Denver office; Westminster crews are local.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Denver Is Westminster’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Westminster homeowners tend to research before they call. They bought high, and they expect documentation. We’ve served more than 52,000 homes since 2013, every one with a written price delivered upfront and a photo record delivered at the end. No exceptions. Haven Standard Clause 1.
Our reputation in Westminster is built on what we can show, not what we claim. Reviews from Westminster customers consistently cite the before-and-after photos and the flat, written quote as the reason they booked. They mention technicians arriving in uniform, identified by name before the truck pulls up - Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews.
Response time to Westminster neighborhoods is typically 2-4 business days for standard scheduling. We don’t manufacture urgency. We do answer the phone with a live person, 24/7, and we don’t ask you to “call for a quote.” The quote is free, written, and delivered on-site before work starts.
Our local knowledge matters because Westminster’s housing stock is specific. The 1970s-1990s tract homes along the US-36 corridor and around 92nd Avenue present vent configurations we don’t see in newer master-planned communities. Original fiberglass duct board, flex foil crushed behind drywall, lint pathways that bypass the exterior cap entirely - these conditions change the scope, the price, and the equipment we bring. We know what to look for because we’ve documented it, photographed it, and written the scope for it hundreds of times.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Services in Westminster
Dryer Vent Inspection
Every Westminster job starts here. We run a camera through the full vent run, from the dryer connection to the exterior termination, and we show you what it sees. In Westminster’s older core, this step is non-negotiable. The trap can look clean while the hidden run is packed with decades of felted lint. Our inspection documents the material type - smooth metal, flex foil, or fiberglass duct board - and identifies crushed sections, disconnections, or lint migration into structural cavities. The written scope and price follow. No work begins without both.
Vent Cleaning
We clean with agitation tools and negative-pressure extraction (a vacuum system that pulls debris out of the duct rather than blowing it into your laundry room). In Westminster, this means accounting for what the 2020 wildfire season left behind. The Cameron Peak and East Troublesome fires deposited fine ash across the northern metro, and that ash caked vent caps and exterior terminations. A standard lint pull clears the obvious buildup. Our process addresses the fine particulate that standard equipment misses. HEPA filtration runs continuously during the job. You receive before-and-after photos of every section we accessed.
Lint Removal
Lint in Westminster homes is rarely just lint. The semi-arid climate and Chinook wind events pull fine prairie dust from open agricultural land in adjacent Adams County. That dust mixes with lint to form dense, felted deposits, especially in long horizontal runs or runs with multiple elbows. We break these deposits with mechanical agitation - brushes, whips, or compressed-air tools matched to your duct material - then extract under negative pressure. The result is measured in airflow improvement, not visual guesswork. We test before and after.
Vent Rerouting
This is where Westminster’s older housing stock most often requires real work. Original dryer vent runs in 1970s-1990s homes were frequently framed into wood-stud walls with drywall acting as the duct surface - no metal liner. Lint and moisture degrade that drywall over decades. The run becomes a structural cavity problem, not just a vent problem. Rerouting means establishing a new, smooth-metal pathway, often through a different wall or soffit, and sealing the old chase properly. It’s more involved than a standard clean. We put the full scope and price in writing before cutting access. Typical rerouting in Westminster runs $450-$780.
Bird Guard Installation
Westminster’s open space corridors and proximity to Standley Lake attract birds that nest in unprotected vent terminations. A bird guard stops this. We install Guardsman and Honeywell vent caps with integrated guards, sized to your duct diameter and local code. Installation is typically $85-$140 when done with a cleaning, or $140-$220 as a standalone visit. We photograph the termination before and after.
Vent Cap Replacement
Broken flappers, missing screens, and UV-degraded plastic caps are common on Westminster’s south- and west-facing exposures. We stock replacement caps in common sizes and can match most configurations same-day. Replacement runs $75-$150 depending on access height and cap type.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Westminster
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush agitation systems, Nikro negative-pressure extractors, and Honeywell and Aprilaire vent termination hardware. We don’t buy tools you’ve never heard of. These are trade-recognized brands you can look up independently, and we name them because Haven Standard Clause 1 applies to equipment too: you should know what you’re paying for before you agree to the price. For Westminster customers, this means replacement parts are typically on the truck, not on order. Most cap replacements and bird guard installations finish in a single visit.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Westminster Homes
- Lint packed into original flex foil or fiberglass duct board behind 92nd Avenue-area walls. The trap looks clean. The hidden run is blocked. Camera inspection reveals felted lint from 30+ years of use, often bonded to frayed glass fibers that a shop-vac can’t touch.
- Crushed or disconnected sections inside wood-stud return chases with no metal liner. Lint bypasses the exterior cap and settles in structural cavities. This requires access cuts, not a mechanical snake, and the scope changes from cleaning to repair.
- Fine prairie dust and 2020 wildfire ash caking exterior terminations. The vent cap looks recently cleaned because the ash is superficial. Inside, the run is loaded with fine particulate that restricts airflow and extends dry times.
- Original vent runs terminated through fiberglass duct board walls with friable collars. Lint clings to exposed glass fibers. A standard clean clears the center path but leaves the perimeter packed, creating a recurring blockage.

FAQs - Dryer Vent Cleaning in Westminster
The lint trap catches surface lint; the vent run carries the rest. In Westminster’s older homes, especially along the US-36 corridor, we’ve found vent runs packed with felted lint while the trap looked fine. The camera shows what the trap can’t. Call (720) 799-2292 for a camera inspection - estimates are free.
We don’t force standard tools into a configuration they weren’t designed for. First, camera inspection to map the cavity. Then access cuts as needed, HEPA-contained agitation, and negative-pressure extraction to pull debris out rather than into the wall. Often the real fix is vent rerouting to a new smooth-metal run. Scope and price are written before any cuts are made.
Yes. The 2020 Cameron Peak and East Troublesome fires deposited measurable ash into metro HVAC and vent systems, and Westminster’s Front Range position pulls fine dust year-round. Homes with older systems or longer vent runs should plan inspection every 2-3 years, not the generic “annual” recommendation. Your dryer’s cycle time is the real indicator.
We stock Guardsman and Honeywell vent caps with integrated bird guards, plus Aprilaire hardware for specific configurations. These are manufacturer-documented products, not generic bulk buys. We name the brand on the written scope so you can verify specifications before agreeing to the price.
Yes. Lint is highly combustible, and restricted airflow raises dryer operating temperatures. The U.S. Fire Administration reports thousands of dryer fires annually, with failure to clean as the leading cause. In Westminster specifically, the combination of older flex-foil runs, packed lint, and extended dry cycles from blocked vents creates conditions we’ve documented in the field. The fix is mechanical: remove the restriction, verify airflow, photograph the result. Call (720) 799-2292 to schedule.
