Every Part of Your Exhaust System
Most companies clean what's visible. We clean everything grease can reach — because hidden buildup is the real danger. From the hood canopy down through the ductwork and all the way to the rooftop exhaust fan, grease accumulates at every point in your system. Ignoring even one section leaves your kitchen exposed to fire risk, failed inspections, and voided insurance. That's why Hood Bros performs a complete, top-to-bottom service every single time — no shortcuts, no skipped steps.
What Happens When Hoods Go Uncleaned
Kitchen Fire Risk Skyrockets
Grease-coated hoods, ducts, and fans are highly combustible. A single flare-up from the cooktop can ignite a full exhaust system fire in seconds.
Failed Health Inspections
Health inspectors and fire marshals check hood cleanliness. A greasy system can result in violations, fines, or a mandatory shutdown of your kitchen.
Poor Ventilation & Air Quality
Grease-choked systems move less air, trap heat, and pump smoke back into your kitchen — making your team's working conditions uncomfortable and unsafe.
Hood Cleaning Questions
Everything restaurant owners and managers ask us before booking their first service.
How often does my restaurant hood need to be cleaned?
It depends on your cooking volume and type. NFPA 96 requires monthly cleaning for high-volume or solid-fuel operations, quarterly for heavy char-broiling or wok cooking, semi-annually for moderate-volume restaurants, and annually for low-volume or seasonal kitchens. We'll help you determine the right schedule during your free quote.
How long does a hood cleaning service take?
Most restaurant hood cleanings take 2 to 4 hours depending on the size of your system, the number of hoods, and how long it's been since the last service. We'll give you a realistic time estimate before we start so you can plan accordingly.
Do you provide documentation for health inspections?
Absolutely. Every Hood Bros service includes a before-and-after inspection report and official certification stickers placed on the hood. This is exactly what your health inspector, fire marshal, and insurance provider need to confirm you're compliant with NFPA 96 standards.
Can you clean after hours so we don't close early?
Yes — we schedule around your operation. Early mornings, late nights, and weekends are all available. We understand that downtime costs money, so we do everything we can to work within your service hours without disrupting your team or your guests.
