Restaurant Hood Cleaning in Hollywood

Hollywood kitchens operate at a volume and a pace that punishes exhaust systems. Late-night bars and clubs on Cahuenga, Thai Town kitchens with wok stations running full blast, Hollywood Boulevard tourist volume, hotel kitchens, event venues, and studio catering, much of it inside buildings that are eighty or more years old, with duct runs threaded through walls that were never meant to carry them.

Rarely Small Consequences

Cleaned Properly, Documented Thoroughly

Hoody cleans those systems properly and documents them thoroughly, because in Hollywood the consequences of a neglected hood are rarely small.

What We Clean

Kitchen Fire Safety, in Practical Terms

Almost every commercial kitchen fire follows the same pattern: a flare-up at the cookline reaches grease that has accumulated in the filters, the plenum, the duct, or the fan, and then it travels inside the ductwork where suppression can't reach it and firefighters can't see it. That's why NFPA 96 focuses on the interior of the exhaust system rather than the surface you can wipe. What that means for your kitchen:

Grease Removed to Bare Metal From Hood, Plenum, Filters, Duct & Fan
Filters Correctly Fitted & Oriented So Grease Can't Bypass Into the Duct
Access Panels Installed So No Section of Duct Stays Permanently Uncleaned
Rooftop Grease Containment So the Fire Risk Doesn't Just Move to the Roof
Suppression System Issues Flagged With Photos
Documented Cleaning Records for Your Fire Inspector & Insurance Carrier

How We Work

Built for Hollywood's Pace

If you close at 2am, we start at 3am. Hollywood is where our overnight scheduling gets the most use, because clubs, bars, and late kitchens make daytime service impossible. High-heat wok cooking and charbroiling load a system faster than almost any other equipment, so we place kitchens on the schedule they actually need.

  • Coordinate directly with your closing manager for late-night starts
  • Work through the night and clear out before your first delivery
  • Wok and charbroiler kitchens placed on a quarterly schedule at minimum
  • Solid-fuel and charcoal setups scheduled monthly

We'll place you where you actually belong rather than defaulting everyone to twice a year.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from Hollywood restaurants, bars and venues about late-night service, fire safety and compliance.

Yes. Late-night starts are routine for us in Hollywood. We coordinate with your closing manager, arrive after the kitchen shuts down, and finish before deliveries and prep. There's no after-hours premium on a standing schedule.
It removes the fuel. A cookline flare-up on its own is manageable; a flare-up that reaches grease packed into the filters, plenum, and duct becomes a fire inside the ductwork, where it spreads through the building and out of reach of your suppression system. Cleaning to bare metal is what breaks that chain.
No, those are separate trades. We clean the exhaust system and will photograph and flag suppression problems we notice, but the suppression system needs its own licensed contractor on a semi-annual service schedule. Keeping both current is what a fire inspector expects to see.
Yes. High-heat wok cooking throws a large volume of vaporized oil into the system, and those kitchens sit at the high-volume end of the NFPA 96 schedule: quarterly at minimum, sometimes more often. We'll look at your duct on the first visit and give you a straight recommendation.
No. We survey the system at the estimate, protect the cookline and floors with full plastic containment, protect the roof surface, and use appropriate pressure for the age and condition of the ductwork. If we find duct that's deteriorated or compromised, we photograph it and tell you rather than making it worse.
Yes: bars with kitchens, clubs, theaters, event spaces, hotel kitchens, and studio catering operations. Venues with intermittent cooking sometimes need less frequent service, and we'll say so if that's your situation.
We run 24/7 emergency service and can usually be on site same-day or the same night. If you've had a fire, a failed inspection, a fan failure, or an insurance deadline, mention it when you call so we can prioritize.
Carriers generally want proof of cleaning at a stated interval by a qualified company. You get a dated Certificate of Performance, a hood service sticker, and photo evidence of the work, which are the records most policies ask for. Keep them together in case of a claim.
