Four recent Highlands Ranch jobs on our blog came in at $149, $249, $249 and $300, depending on pet treatment, stairs and rugs. Here is what each one included, so you can see where your home is likely to land.

What Does Carpet Cleaning Cost in Highlands Ranch, CO?

The price depends on how many areas you clean, whether there are stairs, and whether pet urine or heavy stains need enzyme treatment. Here is our standard pricing:

  • First 3 areas: $119 (a hallway counts as an area)

  • Stairs: $4 per stair

  • Pet stain and odor treatment: quoted once we see the spots under UV light, because the price depends on how deep the urine has gone

  • Dry time: 2–4 hours

Every job is truck-mounted hot water extraction done to the IICRC S100 standard by an IICRC-certified owner-operator with 23+ years in the Denver Metro.

4 Real Highlands Ranch Jobs and What They Cost

$149: Fixing a DIY Pet Stain Attempt

A Highlands Ranch homeowner spent about four hours on a store-bought peroxide cleaner, and the carpet looked patchy and worse than before. We came out the next day and did enzyme pre-treatment and truck-mounted hot water extraction at 200–230°F. We were on site about 45 minutes. The total was $149, and the carpet came up looking new.

$249: Three Rooms, Stairs and Full Pet Treatment for an Elderly Dog

Near University Boulevard, a 15-year-old dog had soaked a nylon cut Berber with urine. We cleaned three rooms and the stairs with heavy enzyme pre-treatment, hand agitation and a second extraction pass on the worst zones. The internet special price was $249. The odor was neutralized. A faint red cast stayed in the heaviest spots, and we told the customer that up front. See the nylon cut Berber job.

$249: Same-Day Guest Room Pet Stain Treatment, No Rush Fee

A homeowner called at noon with yellow pet stains in the guest room, and her mother was arriving the next day. The truck was there by 2:00 PM and we finished by 3:00 PM. We used an enzyme treatment with a 50-minute dwell, then truck-mounted extraction. Total: $249 for same-day pet stain and odor treatment, with no rush fee. Read the same-day guest room job.

$300: Bedroom, Landing, Office and Two Wool Rugs in Eastridge

In Eastridge near the Links Golf Course, a dog had left diarrhea on 19 spots across two wool area rugs and the carpet. We cleaned the bedroom, landing, office and both rugs in the home. We gave a professional enzyme a 45-minute dwell, then rinsed and extracted. The cleaning was $300. The homeowner had expected to throw out about $10,000 in rugs, and the rugs were saved. See the Eastridge wool rug job.

Where the Value Is

A lower advertised price often leaves out the step that matters most: getting pet urine out of the backing, not just the top of the fibers. Each Highlands Ranch job above included pre-inspection, the right pre-treatment, a hot water rinse and a post-cleaning check before we left. You also deal with the owner directly, from the quote to the last pass.

  1. Count your areas. The first 3 are $119, and a hallway counts as one.

  2. Count your stairs at $4 each.

  3. Tell us about pets. Urine spots get a UV check and an enzyme quote before we start.

  4. Plan for 2–4 hours of dry time before heavy foot traffic.
