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 Air Duct Cleaning Across Stonegate
Air duct cleaning in Stonegate, CO typically runs $380-$720 for a full residential system and includes a documented photo record of every duct run before and after. Most Stonegate homes need service every 4-6 years, though the community’s 1990s-era flex-duct systems and Palmer Divide wind exposure often push that interval shorter. Call (720) 513-5159 for a written estimate before any work starts.
We dispatch to Stonegate from our Denver office, and crews are familiar with the community’s repeating floor plans, the undersized return-air trunks in specific two-story models, and the way Front Range winds drive prairie dust through aging joint seals. That local pattern recognition matters. A technician who has cleaned ducts on Timberline Drive, Ponderosa Drive, and throughout Stonegate North knows where to look first, what camera angles show the problem, and which builder-grade components are reaching end-of-life on the same schedule.
Stonegate sits at roughly 5,900-6,000 feet near the Palmer Divide, where high-velocity winds and semi-arid conditions stress duct materials differently than in lower suburbs. We’ve been working this neighborhood since 2013, and the photo records from those early jobs show the same deterioration patterns we see today, accelerated by wildfire smoke seasons that have grown more intense.

Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Stonegate
Residential Duct Cleaning
Stonegate’s housing stock is dominated by two-story production homes built between roughly 1995 and 2005, most with flexible duct runs that now sag between joists and accumulate compacted debris at low points. Our residential service covers the complete duct network: supply runs, return runs, trunk lines, and plenum connections. We use Rotobrush agitation tools under negative-pressure extraction with HEPA filtration, which means debris is loosened mechanically and immediately removed from the system rather than pushed deeper. Every run is photographed before and after. The written scope specifies which registers were accessed, which duct runs were cleaned, and which joints were sealed.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Stonegate’s commercial spaces, including the retail and professional buildings along E-470 corridor access roads, require scheduled maintenance that minimizes disruption to business hours. We work with property managers to coordinate access, provide written scopes for HVAC compliance documentation, and deliver the same photo record standard as our residential jobs. Commercial systems in Stonegate face the same Palmer Divide dust loading as homes, plus higher occupancy particle counts. Pricing is quoted per system, in writing, before work begins.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts push conditioned air into living spaces. In Stonegate homes, these runs often contain construction debris from original build, compacted over 20-30 years into hardened layers at flex-duct low points. Our supply cleaning removes this material through mechanical agitation and negative-pressure extraction, then verifies clearance with camera inspection. We note any crushed or kinked flex sections that restrict airflow, common in attics where original installation left insufficient support straps.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the air handler for reconditioning. In Stonegate, this is where the predictable problems live. The undersized return-air trunk in specific two-story floor plans creates a choke point that loads disproportionately with dust after 20-plus years. Our return duct cleaning addresses this directly: camera inspection to locate the blockage, mechanical agitation to dislodge compacted debris, negative-pressure removal, and resealing of failing mastic joints at plenum connections. The homeowner receives photos of the choke point before and after, plus documentation of any joint repairs.
Full System Cleaning
A full system cleaning in Stonegate addresses supply network, return network, trunk lines, plenum, and air handler cabinet. This is the service we recommend for homes that have never had professional duct cleaning, or where multiple symptoms appear together: dust at registers, uneven heating or cooling, blower motor strain, or visible debris at air handler access. The full system cleaning includes our complete equipment roster: Rotobrush or Nikro agitation tools, Abatement Technologies negative-pressure collection, and HEPA filtration. Written scope, written price, photo record of every run.
Video Inspection
Our video inspection service uses camera equipment to document the interior condition of duct runs without committing to full cleaning. For Stonegate homeowners considering sale, purchase, or HVAC upgrade, this delivers a dated, visual record of duct condition. We flag sagging flex, separated joints, debris accumulation, and liner degradation. The inspection fee is credited toward cleaning if performed within 90 days.

Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Stonegate Homes
- New-home handover dust never removed. Stonegate homes built during the 1990s-early 2000s Douglas County boom were often occupied with construction debris and drywall dust still in supply and return ducts. That material compacted over 25-30 years into hardened layers at flex-duct low points, now shedding particles into airflow every time the system cycles.
- Undersized return-air trunk choke points. Specific two-story floor plans used repeatedly across Stonegate have a return-air trunk sized below current standards, installed in the same location house after house. After two decades, this choke point accumulates dust disproportionately, restricting airflow, forcing blower motor overwork, and producing the dusty-air complaints we hear from Stonegate North to Timberline area homes.
- Failing mastic tape and joint separation. Builder-grade mastic seals applied in Stonegate’s original construction have dried and cracked under 40-50°F daily temperature swings and winter humidity below 20%. Separated joints pull unfiltered Palmer Divide prairie dust and, increasingly, wildfire smoke PM2.5 directly into duct systems.
- Flex-duct liner degradation. Original flex-duct inner liner material in Stonegate homes is reaching end-of-life simultaneously across the community. The liner degrades, sheds into airflow, and appears as gray fibrous dust at registers. Camera inspection confirms the source; replacement is quoted separately from cleaning when needed.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Stonegate
Stonegate homes built in the 1990s-early 2000s were often occupied with construction debris and drywall dust still in the ducts. That material was never cleaned before move-in, compacted over 25-30 years, and now sheds into airflow. A “newer” Stonegate home is functionally older than its build date suggests for duct condition. Call (720) 513-5159 for a camera inspection that shows exactly what’s inside.
Specific two-story models built repeatedly across Stonegate have a return-air trunk installed below current sizing standards, always in the same location. After 20-plus years, this choke point loads disproportionately with dust, restricting airflow and forcing blower motor strain. Our technicians recognize the pattern immediately and address it with targeted cleaning and resealing. The fix is documented in your photo record.
Stonegate’s elevation of roughly 5,900-6,000 feet channels high-velocity Front Range winds that drive semi-arid prairie dust through aging joint seals. Daily temperature swings of 40-50°F and winter humidity below 20% crack mastic seals faster than in lower, more humid suburbs. Wildfire smoke seasons push additional PM2.5 particulate into compromised systems. These factors mean Stonegate ducts foul faster and seals fail sooner than in Aurora or Denver at lower elevation.
A full system cleaning covers all supply runs, all return runs, trunk lines, plenum connections, and air handler cabinet access. We use Rotobrush or Nikro agitation under negative-pressure extraction with HEPA filtration, photograph every run before and after, reseal failing mastic joints, and deliver a written scope with the photo record. The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies. Written price before work starts, every time.
Colorado’s wildfire smoke seasons, typically July-September, push fine PM2.5 particulate deep into duct systems while homes are tightly closed. In Stonegate, aging mastic seals and separated joints allow this particulate to enter and remain, degrading indoor air quality long after smoke events end. Post-season cleaning removes accumulated particulate and identifies seal failures that allowed entry. Camera inspection confirms what the smoke left behind.
A homeowner in the Stonegate North neighborhood called us after noticing dusty air every time the furnace kicked on in their 1998-built two-story. Our tech pulled the air handler access panel, ran a camera inspection down the main return, and found the undersized return-air trunk packed with drywall dust and deteriorating flex-duct liner shedding into the blower motor. We used agitation tools under negative pressure with HEPA filtration to complete source removal, then sealed the failing mastic joints at the plenum. The homeowner reported immediate improvement in dust and airflow. The before-and-after photos were delivered with the written scope before the crew left.
