A Transparent, Professional Hood Cleaning Experience
Hiring a hood cleaning company should not be stressful. At D&E Hood Cleaning LLC, we have built a streamlined process that takes the guesswork out of commercial kitchen exhaust maintenance. Here is exactly what happens when you work with us.
Step 1: Free Consultation and Quote
Contact us by phone at (925) 266-5206 or through our website. During your initial consultation, we will:
- ●Discuss your kitchen type, cooking volume, and equipment
- ●Determine your NFPA-96 required cleaning frequency
- ●Provide a clear, written quote with no hidden fees
- ●Schedule your first service at a time that works for your operations
There is no pressure and no obligation. We want you to have all the information you need to make the right decision for your business.
Step 2: Pre-Service Preparation
Before our team arrives, we will:
- ●Confirm the service date and time (typically after your kitchen closes)
- ●Send a reminder with preparation guidelines
- ●Coordinate any building access requirements
What you need to do: Turn off cooking equipment, allow equipment to cool, and ensure our team has access to the hood system and rooftop.
Step 3: The Cleaning Process
Our PWNA-certified technicians arrive on time, every time. The cleaning process includes:
1. Initial inspection and photo documentation of all components before cleaning 2. Protective covering of all kitchen surfaces, equipment, and surrounding areas 3. Systematic degreasing of every hood system component:
- ●Baffle filters and filter tracks
- ●Hood interior surfaces and plenum
- ●All accessible ductwork
- ●Exhaust fan, blades, and housing
4. Pressure washing and chemical treatment of heavily soiled areas 5. Post-cleaning inspection and photo documentation 6. Final cleanup of the work area—we leave your kitchen cleaner than we found it
A typical restaurant hood cleaning takes 2-4 hours depending on system size and condition.
Step 4: Documentation Delivery
Within hours of completing your service, you will receive via email:
- ●Before-and-after photographs of every cleaned component
- ●Detailed cleaning scope report listing all serviced areas and any issues noted
- ●Official NFPA-96 compliance certificate with our company information and your service details
- ●Recommendations for any repairs or follow-up needed
All documents are designed to be fire marshal inspection-ready and meet insurance compliance requirements.

After your first service, we set up your ongoing maintenance schedule:
- ●Automatic scheduling based on your NFPA-96 required frequency
- ●Appointment reminders sent in advance
