About Hood Hunters LLC

Most people don’t think about hood and exhaust systems until something goes wrong — an inspection issue, a fire risk, or a problem that suddenly demands attention.

Restaurant owners don’t have that luxury.

Hood Hunters exists for kitchens that need things handled correctly the first time, without shortcuts, confusion, or disruption. We work behind the scenes of commercial kitchens where consistency, safety, and reliability matter more than appearances.

Our work is quiet by design — but it carries real consequences when done right.

I began cleaning commercial kitchens at sixteen, working alongside my father.

At that age, the work isn’t glamorous — long hours, heavy equipment, and spaces most people never see. But it teaches you something quickly: if a job is rushed or done halfway, the kitchen pays for it later.

Those early years weren’t just about learning how to clean. They were about understanding how commercial kitchens function under pressure, how systems age over time, and how small details affect safety, inspections, and operations.

What started as hands-on work became a craft — one that demanded precision, patience, and accountability.

Over a decade later, that foundation still shapes how Hood Hunters operates.

We don’t rely on surface-level cleaning or generic checklists. Our approach comes from years spent inside exhaust systems, on rooftops, and in active kitchens, seeing firsthand where grease builds up, where airflow breaks down, and where shortcuts create long-term problems.

That experience builds not only technical knowledge, but judgment — knowing what actually matters, what can wait, and what needs immediate attention.

And over time, it built something else: a genuine respect for the work itself.

This is specialized work. Done correctly, it protects kitchens, staff, and businesses. That responsibility is something we take personally.

If you run a kitchen, you already know: explanations don’t matter — results do.

We approach our work the same way we’d expect it handled in our own operation:

• Show up prepared
• Focus on what actually matters
• Follow NFPA 96 standards without cutting corners
• Communicate clearly before and after service
• Leave nothing behind that creates problems later

No scare tactics. No unnecessary add-ons. Just honest work, documented clearly, so you can focus on running your business.
