WHY TAOS RESTAURANTS CHOOSE US
Why Taos Restaurants Choose Kitchen Guard for Hood Cleaning
Taos is a destination dining town with a fiercely independent restaurant culture. Kitchen Guard respects that culture by delivering dependable, professional hood cleaning that never interrupts your service — and always keeps your kitchen compliant.
High-Altitude Expertise at 6,969+ Feet
Taos sits at nearly 7,000 feet elevation, with Taos Ski Valley exceeding 9,000 feet. We understand how altitude affects exhaust performance, grease behavior, and fan motor load in Taos’s extreme mountain environment.
Ski Season Surge Scheduling
Taos Ski Valley’s peak season (December through March) pushes kitchen output to maximum levels. Kitchen Guard offers pre-season scheduling and mid-season checks to keep your Taos Ski Valley kitchen compliant during your busiest months.
Compliance Documentation You Can Trust
Every Kitchen Guard service includes before-and-after digital photos and a signed completion certificate accepted by the Taos Fire Department, New Mexico State Fire Marshal, and commercial kitchen insurance carriers.
Responsive Local Service
We serve Taos with the same quality and responsiveness we bring to Albuquerque and Santa Fe. When you call Kitchen Guard, you reach a local team that knows Northern New Mexico — not a national call center.

Complete Commercial Kitchen Services in Taos
Commercial Hood Cleaning
Full NFPA 96-compliant hood and exhaust system cleaning for Taos restaurants, lodges, and institutions. Our service covers the hood canopy, all ductwork, exhaust fan, and grease collection components. Taos Ski Valley lodges with wood-burning and high-BTU equipment receive special attention to heavier grease deposits.
Filter Exchange Program
Regular baffle filter exchange service for Taos restaurants. We replace dirty filters with professionally cleaned ones on a rotating schedule, maintaining optimal grease capture efficiency between full hood cleaning services.
Exhaust Fan Service
Mountain altitude and temperature extremes put significant stress on exhaust fan components in Taos kitchens. Our technicians inspect and maintain fan motors, belts, and curb mounts to prevent unexpected failures during your peak season.
Pressure Washing
Commercial pressure washing for Taos restaurant exteriors, loading docks, and dumpster areas. Taos’s mix of high-volume summer tourism and snowy winters creates cleaning challenges we handle year-round.

Taos Fire Code Requirements
The Taos Fire Department and New Mexico State Fire Marshal require NFPA 96-compliant hood cleaning for all commercial food service operations. Failure to maintain cleaning certificates can result in permit revocation, fines, and insurance coverage issues for Taos restaurants.
Taos Ski Valley Considerations
At elevations between 9,207 and 12,481 feet, Taos Ski Valley kitchens face extreme cold, heavy cooking loads, and challenging access. Kitchen Guard coordinates service visits with mountain operators to minimize disruption during the critical December-March ski season.
