What Sets Us Apart
THE FIRST CLASS DIFFERENCE

Most exhaust cleaning companies send whoever is available that day. We do it differently.

A Licensed, NFPA 96 Trained Technician On Every Job

Not a rotating crew of subcontractors. Every visit is performed by a licensed technician trained to the NFPA 96 standard, and the person who quotes your job is the person who cleans it. You always know exactly who is on your roof and in your kitchen.

Photo Proof, Every Visit

Before and after photos of your hood, ducts, and fan on every service. You get a full record you can hand straight to your fire marshal or insurance carrier.

Cleaned To NFPA 96 Standard

Bare metal where bare metal is required. We clean the full system, not just what is visible from the floor, so you pass inspection the first time.

We Work Around Your Hours

Early mornings, late nights, weekends. Your kitchen never has to lose a service because of us.

What We Do
COMMERCIAL KITCHEN SERVICES

From a single hood to the full exhaust system, plus everything around it. Tap any service to see what is included.

Full hand cleaning of the canopy, plenum, and interior surfaces down to bare metal where the code requires it. We scrape, degrease, wash, and wipe the entire hood, then polish the exterior so the kitchen looks as good as it is clean. Every job is photographed before and after.
Baffle and mesh filters pulled, soaked, degreased, and rinsed. Clean filters are the first line of defense in your system: they restore airflow, keep the kitchen cooler, and stop grease from carrying up into the duct run. We also flag any filters that are warped, damaged, or the wrong size for your hood.
The full horizontal and vertical duct run cleaned from the hood collar all the way to the rooftop fan. We open the system where it needs opening, clean the interior, and close everything back up properly. Grease in the duct is what turns a small flare up into a structure fire, and it is the part nobody sees.
Rooftop fan housing and blades degreased, belts inspected and tensioned, bearings checked, and the unit set back down and secured correctly. A fan that is caked in grease pulls less air, runs hot, and eventually fails in the middle of a dinner rush.
Rooftop grease containment installation and service. Containment units catch the grease that comes out of your fan before it runs across the roof membrane. This protects your roof from damage, keeps you out of a dispute with your landlord, and keeps grease out of the storm drain.
Grease trap cleaning and maintenance to keep your lines flowing and keep you compliant with local wastewater requirements. A neglected trap backs up at the worst possible time and can shut a kitchen down for a day.
Deep fryer boil outs and full cleaning to remove carbon buildup from the vat, elements, and baskets. Clean fryers hold temperature better, extend the life of your oil, and produce better food. We handle the mess so your staff does not have to.
Supply and installation of fan hinge kits so the rooftop unit tips back safely without a lift or a second person. It is a one time upgrade that makes every cleaning after it faster, safer, and more thorough, and it pays for itself quickly.
Kitchen floors, mats, dumpster pads, drive throughs, and rooftop grease staining. Anything the exhaust system has made a mess of, we can clean while we are already on site.
Monthly and annual testing of exit signs and emergency egress lighting, including the 90 minute battery load test the code requires. We check every fixture, replace failed batteries and lamps, and log the results so you have the documentation ready when the inspector asks for it. It is one of the most commonly written up violations and one of the easiest to stay ahead of.
Every service ends with a signed report and a full set of before and after photos, dated and ready to hand to your fire marshal, your insurance carrier, or your corporate office. No chasing paperwork after the fact.
A thorough walkthrough of your entire system with photos at every step: hood, filters, duct, access points, and rooftop fan. While we are there we clean your filters and polish the hood so you can see firsthand what working with a first class company looks like. No cost, no obligation, and you get a clear written quote before you decide anything.
