Commercial Hood Cleaning in Clawson, MI

SERVING CLAWSON, MICHIGAN

Hood Cleaning Experts in Clawson

Clawson’s restaurants, bars, and commercial kitchens turn to Kitchen Guard of Metro Detroit when it’s time to get their exhaust systems NFPA 96 compliant. Our certified technicians break down and clean the hood canopy, ductwork, and rooftop fan as one connected system, so nothing gets missed and your kitchen passes inspection the first time.

Clawson’s dining scene has grown steadily, centered on the 14 Mile Road corridor and the downtown Main Street strip, where a mix of independent restaurants, bars, and cafés serve a loyal local crowd. Many operate in older downtown storefronts with compact kitchens, and grease-laden vapor from daily cooking accumulates in the exhaust system whether the kitchen is large or small. Left unaddressed, that buildup is both a fire hazard and an NFPA 96 violation waiting to appear at inspection. Kitchen Guard’s certified technicians clean the full system — hood, ductwork, and rooftop fan — for Clawson’s restaurants and bars, keeping them fire-safe and inspection-ready while scheduling around service hours.

How often does NFPA 96 require hood cleaning for a Clawson restaurant or bar?

Frequency depends on how your kitchen cooks, not just how busy it is. Solid-fuel or wood-fired setups need monthly service, high-volume fryers and wok stations call for quarterly visits, a typical full-service restaurant or bar kitchen lands on a semi-annual schedule, and lower-volume or seasonal spots are usually fine once a year. We’ll walk your kitchen and tell you exactly where you fall.

Will I get documentation for my landlord, inspector, or insurance carrier?

Yes. Each visit ends with a signed compliance report and time-stamped before-and-after photos, which many of our downtown Clawson clients keep on file for their landlord as well as the fire marshal — useful when you’re sharing a building with neighboring tenants.

Can you clean around our hours without shutting down service?

Yes. We work nights and early mornings so a busy Main Street bar or restaurant doesn’t have to close or shift its schedule to get serviced.

What’s included in a commercial hood cleaning visit?

We break down and degrease the hood canopy and filters, clean the ductwork, and service the rooftop exhaust fan, then reassemble everything and check airflow — all handled by certified, W-2 Kitchen Guard technicians, never a subcontractor.

How much does hood cleaning cost for a small downtown Clawson kitchen?

Cost comes down to your hood setup and how often you need service, not a flat citywide rate. Compact single-hood kitchens common in Clawson’s older storefronts are usually more affordable to service than a multi-hood system, but we’ll give you a firm number after a free walkthrough.

Do you work with older buildings and tight kitchen layouts?

Yes. Many of Clawson’s restaurants and bars operate out of older downtown buildings with compact kitchens and tighter duct runs, and our technicians are used to working around those layouts without disrupting the businesses next door.
