Our Commercial Hood Cleaning Services
Grease that builds up inside a kitchen exhaust system is one of the leading causes of restaurant fires. We clean the entire system — not just what you can see from the cook line — and document every step so you can prove it.
Kitchen Exhaust Hood Cleaning
Hood canopy interiors scraped and degreased to bare metal wherever the surface allows, removing the grease that fuels kitchen fires.

Horizontal and vertical duct runs cleaned through access panels, and rooftop exhaust fans degreased so air moves the way it should.

Baffle filters soaked and degreased so they catch grease again instead of passing it into the ductwork.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often does a commercial kitchen hood need to be cleaned under NFPA 96?
NFPA 96 bases frequency on cooking volume and fuel: monthly for solid-fuel cooking, quarterly for high-volume operations such as 24-hour kitchens, charbroiling and wok cooking, semi-annually for moderate-volume kitchens, and annually for low-volume kitchens like churches, day camps and seasonal operations. Your fire marshal or insurer may require a stricter schedule.
How long does a hood cleaning take?
It depends on the number of hoods, the length of the duct run, the number of exhaust fans and how much grease has built up. Most single-hood kitchens are finished within one overnight visit. We give you a time estimate with your quote.
Do I have to close my kitchen for the cleaning?
No. We schedule after hours, overnight or on your closed days, so the cook line is never down during service. We mask and protect equipment before we start and wipe down surfaces before we leave, so you open on time.
What documentation do you provide for the fire marshal and insurance?
Every job includes a before-and-after photo report, a certificate of performance and a dated service sticker placed on the hood, as NFPA 96 requires. Keep them on file and hand them to your fire inspector or insurance carrier when asked.
