FAQ
Common questions
Do you work around our operating hours?
Yes. We schedule service windows with you in advance — commonly overnight or during closures — to reduce disruption. Exact timing depends on your kitchen and our availability.
How often should our exhaust system be cleaned?
NFPA 96 sets inspection and cleaning frequencies based on the type and volume of cooking. Your fire marshal, insurer, or authority having jurisdiction may also have requirements. We'll review your operation and recommend a schedule accordingly.
What documentation do we receive?
After service you receive a record of the date, the scope of work actually performed, and notes on any inaccessible areas or concerns. Before-and-after photos are provided when conditions allow, and service tags are applied where appropriate to the work performed.
How do you price a job?
Pricing depends on the number and size of hoods, duct length, fan access, grease buildup, and site conditions. We quote after reviewing your details and, where needed, an on-site assessment. We do not publish flat rates.
Do you guarantee we'll pass inspection?
No contractor can honestly guarantee an inspection outcome. We clean to the contracted scope, document what was done, and flag any issues we find so you can address them.
What areas do you serve?
We focus on Charlotte, NC and surrounding area. Tell us your location in the form and we'll confirm coverage.
