How CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Marietta Was Born in Marietta
Back in 2013, Tomas Reyes was working as a service manager for an HVAC contractor in metro Atlanta when a call came in from a homeowner in East Cobb. The woman had paid another company $89 for a “whole house duct cleaning” the week before, and her registers were still blowing dust. Tomas crawled through her attic and found what he expected: the main trunk line was untouched, the return plenum was caked with a decade of debris, and the “cleaning” had amounted to a shop vac held against two floor vents for twenty minutes.
He spent that afternoon doing the job properly, brushing and vacuuming every run with a Nikro-powered negative air machine, photographing the before and after. The homeowner cried when she saw the photos. Not from relief, but from anger at what she’d been sold. Tomas drove back to his apartment off Canton Road that evening and made two decisions. First, Marietta deserved a duct cleaning company that treated the work as a trade, not a coupon hustle. Second, he would build that company under a standard where every run got photographed, every price got written down before the van door opened, and no customer ever had to wonder if the work was real.
He called the parent brand that night. CleanRun was already operating in other markets with the same conviction. Tomas became the man who brought it to Marietta.
Tomas Reyes’s Personal Connection to the Air Duct Cleaning Trade
Tomas didn’t plan on ducts. He grew up in a family of carpenters and tile setters, the kind of people who measured twice and still checked with a thumb. His first job in the trades was hauling scrap copper from demolition sites in the summer heat of Smyrna, the metal smell sticking to his clothes for hours after. What he loved was seeing the inside of houses, the hidden infrastructure, the way air moved through walls like blood through veins that nobody thought about until something went wrong.
He got his start in HVAC installation, crawling through new construction in Holly Springs and Kennesaw when the fiberglass was still itching and the Georgia humidity turned attics into saunas. The first time he opened a return plenum and saw a family of dead mice, a decade of skin cells, and a filter that had been unchanged since the Bush administration, he understood something that still drives him. People live in these spaces. They breathe what collects there. And almost nobody can see it without help.
That was over ten years ago. Since then, Tomas has developed what he calls “duct sense,” the ability to predict where a system will be clogged based on the year of construction, the neighborhood’s tree cover, whether the home has a crawl space or slab. He knows the particular dust profile of Sandy Springs’s 1980s subdivisions versus the newer builds in Milton. He can smell mold before he sees it. If he weren’t doing this, he’d probably be restoring vintage motorcycles, another pursuit where patience and clean passages matter more than speed.
What gets him out of bed is the same thing that kept him in the attic that day in East Cobb: the moment when a homeowner sees their own system’s interior for the first time, and understands what they’ve been breathing. That never gets old.
Meet Tomas Reyes - The Person Behind Every Job
Tomas Reyes is the Owner and Founder of CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Marietta. He holds state licensure for HVAC and duct cleaning work in Georgia, carries full insurance and bonding, and has spent over ten years specializing in residential air duct systems across Cobb, Fulton, and Cherokee counties.
Unlike a corporate franchise technician who rotates through a territory, Tomas lives in this market. He knows which Marietta neighborhoods were built before the 2006 code changes that affected return sizing. He trains every crew member on the specific equipment used under the CleanRun name, including Abatement Technologies HEPA collection systems and Honeywell media filtration when upgrades make sense.
On weekends, you’ll find him at the Marietta Square Farmers Market or rebuilding a 1974 Honda CB750 in his garage. The same precision applies to both. His direct commitment to every customer is simple: your job will be quoted in writing before it starts, documented with photographs of every run, and completed to the Haven Standard that governs every branch of this brand. If it’s not right, he will make it right himself.
Before
AfterOur Promise to Marietta Homeowners
We operate under the Haven Standard, a five-clause code that governs every CleanRun branch. Here’s what it means in practice for homes in Marietta, Smyrna, and Kennesaw.
Clause 1: Have it in writing. Every job gets a flat price per system, a written scope of work, and a warranty document before anyone touches a register. Tomas developed this after watching too many homeowners sign blank work orders that became invoices for triple the quoted price. We don’t do teaser rates. We don’t do per-vent add-ons. The price you approve is the price you pay.
Clause 2: Arrive on schedule. We give a real arrival window, not “sometime between 8 and 5.” You get a text when the technician is en route, with a name and photo. This respects your time because we know you’re taking time off work or rearranging childcare to be there.
Clause 3: Verified crews. Every professional working under our name is required to hold the license and insurance their state requires, with documentation available on request.
Clause 4: Evidence on every job. We photograph the interior of every run before and after cleaning. You receive these images with your invoice. This started because Tomas couldn’t stand the industry’s reliance on trust-me claims. A photograph is proof. An Aprilaire media upgrade or Honeywell electronic air cleaner recommendation comes with a photo of what we actually found, not a sales script.
Clause 5: No surprises. No door upsell. No “while we’re in here” scope expansion. If we find something unexpected, we stop, explain, and get written approval before proceeding.
Our Credentials
- State-licensed for HVAC and air duct cleaning work in Georgia
- Insured & bonded for residential service work
- Over ten years of specialized experience in residential duct systems
- Strong local reputation built across Marietta, Smyrna, Kennesaw, Sandy Springs, Woodstock, Roswell, Atlanta, Holly Springs, Alpharetta, Douglasville, Milton, and Decatur
These credentials matter because air duct cleaning happens inside your home, often with technicians in private spaces for several hours. State licensure means the work meets Georgia’s regulatory standards. Insurance and bonding protect your property if something goes wrong. Years of local experience mean we’ve worked on the specific construction types, code eras, and climate conditions that define metro Atlanta housing stock. And a reputation built neighborhood by neighborhood means we have to be good enough that you’ll tell your neighbor, because that’s how we stay in business.
Rooted in Marietta
Tomas lives and works in the same market he serves. His crew has cleaned ducts in the historic homes near Whitlock Avenue, the postwar ranches off Roswell Road, and the new construction filling in around Kennesaw Mountain. We understand how Georgia’s pollen seasons load up HVAC systems, how summer humidity in crawl spaces breeds microbial growth, and how the red clay dust of Cobb County finds its way into returns. We’re not a truck dispatched from a warehouse two counties away. We’re local technicians working under a national standard that keeps us honest.
