Why Our Hood Cleaning Services Are a Cut Above the Rest

Hood Cleaning Services That Go Above and Beyond – Serving the Bay Area
At North Bay Restaurant Services, we specialize in thorough, high-quality hood cleaning services for restaurants and commercial kitchens throughout San Francisco, Sonoma, Napa, Marin, and the greater Bay Area.
We go beyond basic cleaning to ensure your exhaust system is fully compliant with NFPA 96 standards and ready to pass any inspection—while protecting your staff and your building from fire risk.
Our Custom-Built Hood Cleaning Trucks Make the Difference
Every truck in our fleet is custom-built for professional hood cleaning. Equipped with industrial-grade hot water pressure washers, vacuum recovery hoses, and built-in wastewater tanks, we clean thoroughly and responsibly.
No greasy runoff ends up down your drains or in the stormwater. Our water reclamation system keeps your restaurant compliant with environmental and health department regulations.
Kitchen-to-Roof Cleaning – Not Just the Lower Canopy
Many “budget” hood cleaners only clean the visible parts of your system—like the lower canopy and filters. That leaves dangerous grease buildup in your flue, horizontal ductwork and on the roof-mounted fan.
Our certified techs clean from the lower portion visible in the kitchen all the way through to the roof every time. We open all existing access panels and can even install new ones if needed to reach your entire duct system.
We Inspect Your Fan Belt and Key System Components
During service, we always inspect your fan belt, one of the most common points of failure in kitchen exhaust systems. If it’s fraying or worn, we’ll alert you right away—and can replace it during the visit if needed.
The Results: Cleaner Kitchens, Safer Restaurants, and Happy Inspectors
With North Bay, you get peace of mind that your system is cleaned the right way, the first time. No shortcuts. No re-inspection headaches.
