A hood cleaning company for five kinds of Niagara kitchen
The kitchens that call this number fall into five groups. Each group loads its exhaust system in its own way and files its paperwork with a different reader.
Hotels, resorts and attractions. Banquet lines, buffets and snack bars under one roof near Clifton Hill and the Fallsview district. Service runs long, and security decides when the crew gets in.
Independent restaurants, taverns and sports bars. Pizzerias, grills, Thai kitchens and cafes from Queen Street to St. Paul Street. Late-night fryer work fills a plenum faster than most owners guess.
Franchise and quick-service units. Coffee, burger and wing lines along the QEW exits. Head office picks the cycle and asks for the certificate by date.
Wineries and winery restaurants. Estate dining rooms and tasting-room kitchens in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Vineland, Jordan and Beamsville. Harvest weekends and weddings push a small hood hard.
Municipal and community kitchens. Town halls, arenas, Legion branches, service clubs, churches and retirement residences. These kitchens need a dated certificate before an inspection or an insurance renewal.

Niagara kitchens load on the tourist calendar more than the school calendar, so the interval should follow the kitchen's own busy season. The frequency guide explains how to set it. Each community is described on the areas served page.

What happens on a hood cleaning visit in Niagara Falls
Every visit follows seven steps in the same order, whether the kitchen is a Chippawa diner or a banquet line on the Fallsview strip.
- Walk-through at no charge. A technician measures each canopy, checks the filters, traces the duct up to the roof and writes down any section without access.
- Quote in writing within 24 hours. You get the scope and the price on one page. Any extra item is listed on its own for you to approve.
- Insurance papers first. Proof of WSIB coverage and liability insurance reaches you, and your landlord where the roof is shared, before the crew books the night.
- Kitchen covered. The crew wraps the cooking equipment, lays sheeting on the floor and guards the drains before any chemical goes on.
- Grease path cleaned. Filters come out. The canopy and plenum go back to bare metal. The duct is cleaned through its access panels, and the rooftop fan is opened and cleaned inside.
- Photos as found and as left. Each surface is photographed before and after, including the plenum and the inside of the duct.
- Certificate signed. You receive a health and safety certificate that references the published NFPA 96 standard and lists each section cleaned with the date. Niagara Falls Hood Cleaning is not affiliated with NFPA.

Hood cleaning company near me in Niagara Falls: what to look for
A hood cleaning company proves its work with the paper and the photos it leaves you, not with the shine on the canopy face.
Photos of what you cannot see. Ask for the plenum, the duct interior and the fan housing, not only the canopy.
A certificate with sections and a date. A single signature with no detail tells an inspector nothing. What the certificate does and does not say is explained on the NFPA 96 page.
Insurance in writing before the visit. WSIB coverage and liability insurance should be in your file before anyone climbs a ladder in your kitchen.
No certification badge. NFPA does not issue a credential to cleaning companies. Look for the signed certificate and the insurance proof instead.
The roof fan in the scope. Grease that leaves the duct collects in the fan. Repairs and hinge kits are on the exhaust fan repair page.
