Commercial Hood & Duct Cleaning in Glendale

Glendale's kitchens run the full range: Brand Boulevard restaurants, the mall and Americana food operations, Montrose's shopping-park cafés, banquet halls, and some of the busiest Armenian and Middle Eastern grill kitchens in the region, where charcoal and open flame are on all day. Those kitchens generate a particular kind of buildup: hard, layered, carbonized deposits that don't come off with a spray bottle and a hope.

Local Expertise

Built for Glendale's Toughest Systems

Glendale has a lot of multi-story mixed-use and older commercial buildings, which means long vertical risers, shared chases, and rooftops that require coordination. That's routine work for us. And if you run charcoal, wood, or an open-flame grill station, your system needs monthly attention under the NFPA 96 schedule, not quarterly.

  • Banquet halls and multi-hood systems cleaned as one system, not priced per hood
  • Long vertical risers and shared chases cleaned from both ends
  • Monthly service scheduled for charcoal, wood and open-flame grill kitchens
  • Heavier scraping tools and aggressive containment kept on the truck for solid-fuel buildup

We'd rather tell you that up front than sell you a schedule that leaves you exposed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from Glendale restaurants, banquet halls and grill kitchens about duct work, scheduling and compliance.

Glendale operates its own city fire department, and restaurant health inspections are handled by Los Angeles County Environmental Health. Fire is generally the agency concerned with grease accumulation in the hood, duct, and fan. Our Certificate of Performance and photo set are prepared for both.
Solid-fuel cooking (charcoal, wood, mangal-style grills) carries a monthly baseline under NFPA 96, because it deposits creosote-type residue in addition to grease. Quarterly service is not adequate for a kitchen grilling over charcoal daily. We'll build a monthly rotation and keep it consistent.
It's the cleaning of the ductwork that carries grease-laden air from your hood to the rooftop fan. It means physically opening the duct, scraping hardened deposits from the interior walls, and pressure washing the accessible run to bare metal. Cleaning only the hood and calling it done leaves the highest-risk section of the system untouched.
Yes. Vertical risers are cleaned from both ends, using the rooftop fan opening and any available access panels along the run. Where the riser has no mid-run access, we install panels so it can be properly serviced now and inspected later.
Yes. We fabricate and install code-compliant access panels as part of the job. Sealed duct is common in older Glendale buildings, and it's a legitimate reason an inspector will flag a system even after it's been "cleaned."
Yes. Large kitchens with multiple hoods feeding shared duct systems are a normal job for us. We quote the full system, schedule enough crew to finish overnight, and document each hood separately so your records are clear.
Our specialty is kitchen grease exhaust: hoods, grease ducts, and exhaust fans. That is a different discipline from general HVAC duct cleaning, with different code requirements. Ask us about your specific system and we'll tell you plainly whether it's in our scope.
Full containment before any chemical is used: the cookline, equipment, and floors are draped in plastic, water is funneled and collected, and grease is captured rather than washed into your floor drains. The kitchen is wiped down and ready for prep when we leave.
