You deserve the highest level of service

When your kitchen ventilation system isn’t working properly, you can’t afford downtime. At North Bay Restaurant Services, operating locally as East Bay Restaurant Services, we provide professional hood repair in Alameda County for restaurants, hotels, commissaries, and institutional kitchens.
Our technicians diagnose and repair issues with exhaust fans, belts, motors, hinges, and ductwork, keeping your system safe, efficient, and NFPA 96–compliant. From Oakland to San Leandro, we help you get back up and running quickly — with long-term solutions, not temporary fixes.

Common Hood System Repairs We Perform

Exhaust Fan Repairs & Replacements
If your fan stops pulling air, vibrates excessively, or makes loud mechanical noise, our team can diagnose electrical, motor, or bearing issues and repair or replace the unit as needed. We also install fan hinges to ensure future cleanings meet code and can be done safely.

Hood Motor & Belt Service
A worn-out belt or motor can reduce airflow and put your system out of compliance. We carry and install high-performance replacement belts and motors to restore proper ventilation and balance.

Hood & Duct Repairs
Over time, grease buildup and vibration can damage metal seams or duct joints. Our technicians perform duct resealing, patching, and leak prevention to maintain airtight performance throughout the exhaust system.

Access Panel Installation for Code Compliance
If certain sections of your exhaust ductwork are inaccessible for cleaning, our team installs NFPA 96–approved access panels to ensure every area can be safely reached and cleaned. This prevents hidden grease accumulation — the leading cause of duct fires — and ensures your system meets inspection and insurance standards.

Fan Hinge & Roof-Mount Repairs
Loose or damaged hinges can cause dangerous fan movement during cleaning or inspection. We install NFPA-approved hinge kits, secure mounting brackets, and adjust fan alignment to extend equipment life and improve safety.

Electrical & Control Troubleshooting
We inspect fan switches, disconnect boxes, and control wiring to ensure proper operation. Our licensed repair team can troubleshoot and resolve fan start/stop or power supply issues that impact your hood’s performance.
