Hood & Exhaust Cleaning and fire-code compliance in Los Gatos
Restaurants across Los Gatos and the rest of Santa Clara County answer to the Santa Clara County Fire Department, which enforces NFPA 96 on kitchen exhaust systems. Hood & Exhaust Cleaning is one of the services that keeps you compliant and, more importantly, keeps a small grease fire from running the length of your ductwork. Our crew documents every Los Gatos job with dated before and after photos and a service record, so when an inspector or carrier asks for proof, you already have it. No scramble, no denied claim, no forced closure over paperwork you could have had in hand.
NFPA 96 does not use one schedule for every kitchen. For Los Gatos operators, the required inspection interval depends on your cooking volume, and cleaning is triggered by what the inspection finds:
Solid fuel
wood, charcoal, or other solid-fuel cooking
High-volume
charbroiling, wok, 24-hour kitchens
Moderate-volume
most sit-down and full-service restaurants
Low-volume
churches, seasonal kitchens, day camps, senior centers

Kitchen Exhaust & Vent Cleaning in Los Gatos, FAQ

Call or text us and we will give you a straight answer on timing and price, no runaround.
How often do Los Gatos kitchens need hood & exhaust cleaning?
It comes down to how hard your kitchen cooks. NFPA 96 sets a minimum inspection schedule by cook type: solid-fuel and high-volume kitchens (wood or charcoal, charbroiling, wok, 24-hour operations) are inspected most often, moderate-volume sit-down restaurants land in the middle, and low-volume operations least often. Cleaning is then required whenever an inspection finds grease deposits, so actual service intervals run anywhere from monthly to annual depending on what your system is really producing. For hood & exhaust cleaning specifically in Los Gatos, we look at your equipment, your menu, and how the system looks on the first visit, then set a cadence that keeps you compliant without paying for service you do not need. Get it wrong and you either waste money or risk a fire and a failed inspection. We help you find the right interval.
Will hood & exhaust cleaning keep me compliant with the Santa Clara County Fire Department?
That is exactly what it is for. We do the work to the NFPA 96 standard the Santa Clara County Fire Department enforces across Santa Clara County, then leave you with dated before and after photos, a written service report, and a record you can hand any inspector. Fire marshals want to see both a properly maintained system and current documentation, and a gap in either can bring a fine or a forced closure. If you ever have a grease fire, your insurer will ask for these same records, and not having them can mean a denied claim. We make sure your Los Gatos kitchen always has that proof ready.
How fast can you get to my Los Gatos kitchen?
We can usually get you on the calendar the same week, and we schedule Los Gatos jobs around your hours, including nights and early mornings, so your kitchen never loses a service period. If you are dealing with an upcoming inspection or a system that is clearly overdue, tell us and we will prioritize it. For recurring accounts we set a standing schedule so hood & exhaust cleaning just happens on time without you having to track it. Call or text and we will find a slot that works.
What does hood & exhaust cleaning cost in Los Gatos?
We quote it based on your actual setup rather than a one-size-fits-all price. What moves the number: the size and layout of your system, your cook type and grease load, roof and equipment access, and how long it has been since the last proper service, since heavier buildup means more labor. A Los Gatos kitchen kept on a regular schedule always costs less than one being brought back to code for the first time. Give us your cook type, hood count, and location and we will give you a real quote. Estimates are always free.
