Hood Cleaning Company in Richmond Hill: Four Services, One Crew
Richmond Hill Hood Cleaning is a hood cleaning company that splits commercial kitchen exhaust work into four services: hood cleaning for the canopy and filters, kitchen exhaust cleaning for the ductwork to the roof, exhaust fan repair and installation for the rooftop fan, and commercial kitchen deep cleaning for the cook line under the hood. Each service is priced on its own line, and all four can run in one overnight window anywhere in Richmond Hill, Oak Ridges or Thornhill east of Yonge Street. This page matches what you notice in the kitchen to the service that fixes it.
Which service does your Richmond Hill kitchen need?
Richmond Hill Hood Cleaning picks the service from the symptom, because each symptom points at a different part of the system.
| What you notice in the kitchen | Symptom vs the service that fixes it |
|---|---|
| Oil drips off the filters onto the wok range or the fryers | Hood cleaning services: canopy, filters and plenum done together. |
| A stale fried smell hangs in the dining room or the plaza hallway, though the hood looks clean | Kitchen exhaust cleaning: the horizontal run and the riser, where grease builds up out of sight. |
| A fire inspector asked when the ductwork was last cleaned | Kitchen exhaust cleaning, since a certificate covers only the sections it lists. |
| The roof fan squeals, runs hot, or the kitchen fills with smoke | Exhaust fan repair and installation: belts, bearings, motors, hinge kits and new fans. |
| The plaza manager sent photos of a grease stain around the fan | Exhaust fan repair and installation: rooftop grease containment. |
| Grease is caked on the fryer sides, the charbroiler and the wall behind the line | Commercial kitchen deep cleaning: degreasing of the cook line and hood exterior. |
| Head office or the insurer wants a dated certificate on file | The NFPA 96 page explains what the signed certificate says and how the Ontario Fire Code uses the standard. |
Power Hoods Systems, the operating crew behind Richmond Hill Hood Cleaning, also handles HVAC, duct, coil, sanitation and dryer vent work on request.
Four services from one hood cleaning company in Richmond Hill
Grease travels one path from the cook line to the roof. The quote splits that path into four parts.
Hood Cleaning Services
Hood cleaning covers what hangs above the cooking: the canopy, the filters and the plenum behind them. The schedule depends on what the line cooks, and it is the service most Richmond Hill kitchens book first.
Hood cleaning detailsKitchen Exhaust Cleaning
Kitchen exhaust cleaning covers the ductwork between the hood and the roof, reached through access panels. It matters most in a plaza unit or a mixed-use building where the riser runs a long way up.
Exhaust cleaning detailsExhaust Fan Repair and Installation
Exhaust fan repair and installation covers the rooftop fan that pulls air through the whole system: repairs, replacement, a hinge kit so it can be tilted open, grease containment for the roof, and a new fan for a new line. Quoted per job after inspection.
Fan repair detailsCommercial Kitchen Deep Cleaning
Commercial kitchen deep cleaning covers the cook line under the hood: ranges, fryers, charbroilers, griddles, the backsplash and the outside of the hood. It removes the grease that feeds a flare-up, and it pairs with a hood visit on the same night. Quoted per job after a walk-through.
Deep cleaning detailsThe standard behind all four, the published inspection intervals and what Richmond Hill fire inspectors check are on the NFPA 96 page.
What does a hood cleaning company do?
A hood cleaning company removes cooking grease from a commercial kitchen exhaust system and proves the result on paper.
A hood cleaning company takes the grease out of every part of the system that carries cooking vapour: the hood, the ductwork and the rooftop fan. The work is judged against the 0.078 inch grease depth that NFPA 96 sets as the limit. At the end, the company hands over before-and-after photographs and a signed certificate that lists what was cleaned and when. Your line staff wipe the outside of the canopy every night. The company handles the parts behind the filters and above the ceiling. The seven-step visit is on the homepage, and the people who do the work are introduced on the about page.
Where to find a hood cleaning company near me in Richmond Hill
All four services cost the same in every part of the coverage area, from Langstaff to Lake Wilcox.
What a kitchen books usually follows where it is and what it cooks. A wok kitchen in a Highway 7 plaza books the hood and the duct together, because high heat loads both, and the landlord often asks about the fan. A bar on Yonge Street with a fryer-heavy menu adds cook-line deep cleaning on the same night. A golf club banquet kitchen near Elgin Mills Road books the full system in spring, before the season starts. Coverage is on the areas served page, and the kitchen types are on the who we serve page.
Hood cleaning companies in Richmond Hill: one crew vs separate trades
One crew on all four services means one night, one set of photographs and one certificate. Separate trades mean separate visits and gaps between the paperwork.
Some kitchens hire one contractor for the hood, a second for the fan and a third for the line. When a fire inspector or an insurer asks for proof, you match three documents with three dates. Richmond Hill Hood Cleaning runs all four services with one crew in one visit, so a single certificate lists every section cleaned on one date.
How much do hood cleaning services cost in Richmond Hill in 2026?
Richmond Hill Hood Cleaning prices a single-hood kitchen up to ten feet from $585 per visit and a multi-hood kitchen of two to four canopies from $995 per visit. Larger systems are quoted on site after a free walk-through, fan repair and deep cleaning per job, and every written quote comes back within 24 hours.
The hood price is the base of the quote. Duct work depends on the length of the run and the number of access points. Fan work depends on what the roof inspection finds. Deep cleaning depends on how much equipment sits on the line. Each service is its own line, so a landlord can see what belongs to the building and a tenant can see what belongs to the kitchen.

Richmond Hill hood cleaning services: frequently asked questions
Which service does a first-time Richmond Hill customer usually book?
Hood cleaning services, in most cases, because the canopy and filters are what the kitchen can see. The walk-through often adds kitchen exhaust cleaning once the technician opens an access panel and finds grease in the duct.
Is hood cleaning the same as kitchen exhaust cleaning?
No. Hood cleaning covers the canopy, filters and plenum. Kitchen exhaust cleaning adds the ductwork up to the roof. The certificate names the sections cleaned, so a hood-only visit does not cover the duct.
Is commercial kitchen deep cleaning the same as a general restaurant clean?
No. Commercial kitchen deep cleaning is fire-prevention degreasing of the cook line under the hood: ranges, fryers, charbroilers, griddles and the wall behind them. Floors, washrooms and dining rooms are not part of it.
Can several services be booked for the same night?
Yes. Richmond Hill Hood Cleaning quotes combined services as one job in one overnight window. The crew moves from the cook line to the hood, then to the duct access and up to the roof without a second trip.
Does a hood cleaning company need to see the kitchen before quoting?
For anything beyond a standard single or multi-hood kitchen, yes. The walk-through is free, and it finds the length of the duct run, the state of the fan and the equipment on the line. The written quote follows within 24 hours.
