Exhaust, Hood & Complete Ventilation System Cleaning By Kitchen Guard of Asheville — Serving Boone & Blowing Rock
A clean kitchen is a safe kitchen, and hood cleaning is crucial to preventing fires and staying compliant. Kitchen Guard brings the same NFPA 96 compliant hood cleaning trusted throughout Asheville up into the High Country, serving restaurants, resorts, and college dining halls across Boone and Blowing Rock. Our certified technicians clean the entire exhaust system, including hoods, ducts, fans, and rooftop vents, so nothing is left to build up grease, block airflow, or create a hazard. We schedule around the region’s busy tourist and ski seasons to minimize downtime, keeping your exhaust system safe for your staff and guests year-round.
Hood & Duct Cleaning
We clean the entire hood canopy and ductwork down to bare metal, removing grease buildup that surface-level cleanings miss and keeping airflow unobstructed.
Rooftop Fan & Exhaust Cleaning
Our technicians clean and inspect rooftop fans and exhaust outlets, reducing fire risk at the point where grease is most likely to accumulate unnoticed.
Access Panels & Full-System Access
Where needed, we install or service access panels so every part of your system, not just what’s visible, can be properly cleaned and inspected.
Professional Cleaning That Ensures Safety and Compliance
Grease and grime build up quickly in commercial kitchens, and that risk climbs during Boone and Blowing Rock’s peak leaf-season and ski-season crowds, when kitchens run longer hours with less room for error. Our team thoroughly removes grease from every part of your exhaust system, not just what’s visible, following strict cleaning protocols that reduce fire risks and keep your kitchen compliant with NFPA 96, the standard for commercial kitchen ventilation and fire prevention. We provide before-and-after photos with every service, so you have clear documentation that proves your compliance and protects your business.
With Kitchen Guard, you don’t have to worry about complex regulations or compliance details, especially when a slow shoulder-season week can turn into a fully booked one overnight. Our team handles everything for you, so you can focus on running your business.
Pair your hood cleaning with our Filter Exchange, Pressure Washing, and Repairs services to keep your entire kitchen exhaust system compliant and running smoothly.

Kitchen Guard of Asheville Answers All Your Hood Cleaning Questions
Here are answers to some of the most common questions about our hood cleaning services, designed to keep your kitchen safe, compliant, and running smoothly.

Every job includes detailed service records and before-and-after photos so you’re ready if an inspector or your insurance carrier asks for proof.
