Kitchen exhaust cleaning for Duluth kitchens
Gwinnett's wok and grill-heavy kitchens produce heavier grease loads, which usually means a tighter cleaning interval than a standard sit-down menu.
Every Duluth job follows the same process: we mask off the kitchen, scrape and pressure-wash the hood plenum, clean the filters, work the accessible duct runs, and clean the rooftop fan housing and blade wheel. Nothing is wiped down and called done, and we photograph the work before and after so you can see what was actually cleaned.
What is included on every visit
Pricing depends on the number of hoods, the length of the duct run, roof access and how long it has been since the last cleaning. We quote before we start.
- Hood interior, exterior and plenum cleaned to bare metal
- Baffle filters cleaned or replaced as needed
- Accessible horizontal and vertical duct runs cleaned
- Rooftop exhaust fan, housing and blade wheel serviced
- Grease containment, roof protection and full cleanup
- Before and after photos, service report and dated certification sticker

Equipment we clean on a Duluth cook line
Grease does not stop at the hood lip. On a typical Duluth kitchen we work the full exhaust path and the hardware that keeps it moving air, because a clean canopy over a loaded duct still fails an inspection.
- Canopy hoods, wall canopies and island hoods
- Baffle, mesh and cartridge filters, sized and seated correctly
- Grease troughs, cups and containment on the roof
- Horizontal and vertical duct runs, with access panels added where none exist
- Upblast and inline exhaust fans, housings, blade wheels, belts and bearings
- Make-up air units and rooftop surfaces around the fan curb
Why Duluth kitchens keep us on schedule
Kitchen managers stay with us because the work is verifiable. You get photos of the same access points every visit, a written report you can hand an inspector or an insurer, and a reminder before your next interval comes due, so nobody discovers a lapsed cleaning during a walkthrough.
We clean after hours in Duluth, protect the line and floors before we start, and haul our own water and containment so the roof and the parking area look the same when we leave.
NFPA 96 compliance and inspection frequency
NFPA 96 sets inspection intervals by cooking volume: monthly for solid fuel, quarterly for high-volume operations such as 24-hour kitchens and char-broiling, semiannually for moderate-volume kitchens, and annually for low-volume operations like churches, day camps and seasonal businesses.
We will tell you which category your kitchen falls into and put you on a reminder schedule so a lapsed cleaning never turns into a failed inspection or a denied insurance claim.

Frequently asked questions
- How much does hood cleaning cost in Duluth?
- Cost depends on hood count, duct length, roof access and grease load. Small single-hood kitchens sit at the low end and multi-hood or long-duct systems cost more. We give a firm quote after a quick walkthrough or a few photos. See our hood cleaning cost page for the factors that move the number.
- Do you work after hours in Duluth?
- Yes. Most cleanings happen overnight or on closed days so your kitchen is ready for the next service.
- Will I get documentation for my inspector?
- Every job includes before and after photos, a written service report and a dated certification sticker posted on the hood.
- How often should a Duluth restaurant have its hood cleaned?
- Most full-service restaurants land on quarterly or semiannual cleaning under NFPA 96. Heavy char-broiling and 24-hour kitchens need it more often; low-volume kitchens can go annually.
