Not All Hood Cleaning Companies Are Created Equal

The commercial kitchen hood cleaning industry has a significant quality problem. Many companies offer low prices but deliver incomplete cleanings, skip ductwork, provide inadequate documentation, and leave restaurant owners vulnerable to fire marshal violations.

D&E Hood Cleaning LLC was founded to solve this problem.

What Sets D&E Hood Cleaning Apart

1. PWNA-Certified Technicians

Our technicians hold certifications from the Power Washers of North America (PWNA), the leading industry certification body. This means every member of our team has demonstrated proficiency in:

  • Commercial kitchen exhaust cleaning techniques
  • NFPA-96 compliance requirements
  • Chemical safety and proper degreasing procedures
  • Equipment operation and safety protocols

2. Complete System Cleaning—Every Time

Some companies only clean the visible hood surface and filters. D&E cleans the entire exhaust system on every visit:

  • Hood interior and exterior surfaces
  • All baffle filters and filter tracks
  • Plenum chamber and transitions
  • Complete ductwork from hood to rooftop
  • Exhaust fan, fan blades, and housing
  • Rooftop grease containment systems

If we cannot access a section of ductwork, we flag it and work with you to ensure it gets addressed.

3. Industry-Leading Documentation

Every D&E service includes:

  • Timestamped before-and-after photographs of every cleaned component
  • Detailed cleaning scope report identifying all serviced areas
  • Official NFPA-96 compliance certificate
  • Digital delivery the same day—no waiting for paperwork

This documentation package is designed specifically to satisfy fire marshal inspections, insurance requirements, and franchise compliance standards.

4. Flexible Scheduling That Works for You

We understand that closing your kitchen during business hours is not an option. D&E offers:

  • Night and weekend scheduling
  • Holiday availability
  • After-hours cleaning with no premium charges
  • Emergency same-day service when needed

5. Transparent Pricing With Zero Surprises

We provide detailed written quotes before any work begins. No hidden fees, no surprise upcharges, and no pressure tactics. The price we quote is the price you pay.
