About Richmond Hill Hood Cleaning
Richmond Hill Hood Cleaning is a commercial kitchen exhaust service for Richmond Hill, Oak Ridges and Thornhill east of Yonge Street, run on one promise: one number, one crew, one certificate. The number is 289-796-1166. The crew is Power Hoods Systems, the operating company that does every walk-through and every overnight visit. The certificate is a signed health and safety certificate referencing the published NFPA 96 standard, sent with before-and-after photographs of each surface cleaned. This page explains how that works and what you can expect.
How Richmond Hill Hood Cleaning works
One phone number books the job. One crew does it. One document proves it.
One number. Richmond Hill Hood Cleaning is the front desk. Calls to 289-796-1166 and requests from the quote form go into the same schedule. Most kitchen owners and managers call rather than type, so the phone number appears on every page and a person answers it.
One crew. Power Hoods Systems is the operating crew. It supplies the technicians and the equipment, carries out the walk-through, does the cleaning and signs the certificate. The crew is named here so nobody is surprised on the night. A manager who books a 2 am visit for a lounge on Yonge Street knows in advance whose technicians will be in the kitchen.
One certificate. Every reader gets the same document. A fire inspector, an insurer, a franchise head office, a hospital facilities lead and a plaza landlord all receive the same signed certificate and the same set of photographs. A church kitchen in Richvale gets the same file as a franchise unit on Highway 7.
Visits happen overnight and between services, so a bar keeps its Saturday night and a seniors residence keeps its breakfast service. The starting price is printed on this page rather than held back for a sales call.
The documentation standard on every visit
Three documents come with every job. None of them costs extra.
Before-and-after photographs of every cleaned surface. Line staff wipe the front of the canopy each night, so a picture of it proves little. The photographs that count show the plenum, the filter slots, the inside of the duct and the fan housing, first as found and then clean. The whole set goes out with the certificate.
A signed health and safety certificate. It records the date and the sections cleaned, and it references the published NFPA 96 standard. Richmond Hill Hood Cleaning and Power Hoods Systems are not affiliated with NFPA. What the certificate does and does not claim, and how Richmond Hill Fire and Emergency Services reads it, is on the NFPA 96 page.
Proof of WSIB coverage and liability insurance before work starts. The proof goes out with the written quote. A plaza property manager or a school facilities office has it on file before the visit is booked, and nobody chases it at midnight.
What to expect, from the first call to the file
The outline stays the same for a hot pot restaurant in Langstaff, a clubhouse kitchen in Oak Ridges or a staff cafeteria off Leslie Street.
Before the visit. The first call covers three things: what the line cooks, how many canopies hang over it, and when the kitchen is empty. The free walk-through follows. If the technician finds a part that cannot be reached, you hear about it then, not after the visit. The contact page lists what to have ready.
On the night. The crew arrives after close or between services, protects the kitchen, and works upward from the canopy to the roof. Each surface is photographed twice.
The morning after. The photographs and the signed certificate arrive by email. Keep them together. A fire inspector, an insurer, a head office or a board can ask for them at any time, and the next visit is scheduled from what the photographs show.
Who reads the certificate in Richmond Hill?
Richmond Hill Hood Cleaning writes one certificate for five kinds of reader, and it has to satisfy all of them.
A fire inspector reads it for the date and the sections listed, because the Ontario Fire Code references NFPA 96. An insurer reads it at renewal, and a missing certificate is often the first question a broker asks. A franchise head office checks it against the schedule it sets for every unit. A hospital, school or seniors residence administrator needs it on file before an inspection. A landlord reads it for the roof, because the fan and the roof membrane belong to the building. The photographs behind the certificate settle any question about what was cleaned. Which kitchens fall into which group is on the who we serve page.

About Richmond Hill Hood Cleaning: frequently asked questions
Who does the cleaning when Richmond Hill Hood Cleaning is booked?
Power Hoods Systems, the operating crew. Richmond Hill Hood Cleaning takes the call and the quote request. Power Hoods Systems sends the technicians and equipment, does the walk-through, cleans the system and signs the certificate.
Why are no customers named on this site?
None has given permission to be named. Richmond Hill Hood Cleaning describes the kitchens it serves by type instead: independent restaurants, bars and lounges, golf clubs, franchise units and food manufacturers. The types are on the who we serve page.
What happens if part of the system cannot be reached?
The technician says so before the quote is written. A duct with no access panel, or a fan bolted to its curb, goes on the quote as a separate item for you to approve. The certificate lists only the sections the crew reached and cleaned.
Can the visit be timed around an inspection or insurance renewal?
Yes. Mention the date on the first call. The schedule is built around it where the walk-through allows, and the certificate carries the date of the visit.
Who receives the photographs and the certificate?
Whoever you name when booking. The file usually goes to the owner or manager by email the morning after the visit, with copies to a head office, a landlord or an insurer if you ask.
