How often should a commercial kitchen hood be cleaned?
It depends on your cooking volume and type, but most restaurants should be cleaned at minimum every six months, in line with NFPA 96. High-volume or solid-fuel cooking may require more frequent service.
What does your hood cleaning include?
We clean the complete kitchen exhaust system — the entire duct system, the filters, and the hood — right down to bare metal. If a system hasn’t been maintained, it may take multiple cleanings to reach full NFPA 96 compliance.
Do you provide documentation for my insurance company or fire inspector?
Yes. We leave a detailed report after every cleaning that you can share with your insurer or fire inspector.
My insurance company says my hood must be degreased — can you help?
Absolutely. If you’ve received a notice from your insurer, contact us as soon as possible and we’ll schedule your cleaning right away.
What areas do you serve?
We serve commercial kitchens across all of Rhode Island and eastern Massachusetts. In Rhode Island we cover every city and town statewide; in Massachusetts we serve Bristol, Plymouth, Barnstable, Norfolk, Middlesex, and Worcester counties.
What are your hours?
Our regular business hours are Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM. We also offer 24/7 emergency availability for grease fires, failed inspections, and exhaust-fan breakdowns. After-hours service is billed at our emergency rate.
Do you charge by the hour or by the job?
Our fee is a mix of both — by the hour and by the job — because every kitchen and system is different. We’ll give you a clear quote before we start.
Will you come out and provide a free quote?
In most cases we provide quotes via a virtual call. If you’d prefer an on-site visit, we may apply a trip fee, payable at the appointment. If we decide to work together, that trip fee is credited toward your next cleaning.
What forms of payment do you accept?
We’re a small, family-owned business and currently accept cash or check, due after the service is completed.
My exhaust fan isn’t working — can you repair it?
Yes. We’ll come out to your restaurant, diagnose the issue, and handle the repair. A diagnostic fee applies for the service visit.
Can I buy replacement filters from you?
Yes. We have relationships with all of the major filter manufacturers and can supply and replace your grease filters.
Are you the cheapest option?
No — and we’re upfront about that. We provide a professional experience: we arrive on time, communicate with management, use trade-specific equipment, clean up after ourselves, and our employees are all covered under Workers’ Compensation insurance.
What types of businesses do you serve?
We service kitchen exhaust systems for restaurants, hospitals, nursing homes, independent living facilities, quick-serve restaurants, public and private schools, food trucks, correctional facilities, arenas, country clubs, wedding venues, banquet halls, concession stands, and casinos.
