We had an amazing experience with Kitchen Guard. Edward was our contact. He was so easy to work with and had great communication skills which made the entire process so simple. The team who did the cleanings were excellent as well. I don’t think our hood systems had been this clean in the last 10 years. They even follow up with photos to compare the before and after which was super helpful. All around a great experience!
