SoCal Hoods

What Los Angeles restaurant operators should look for
- IKECA-certified (or equivalent) technicians and NFPA 96 practices.
- A quote that covers the full system — hood, filters, vertical duct, and rooftop fan.
- Photo documentation and a dated certificate issued after every cleaning.
- Willingness to work overnight without a punitive premium.
- Insurance on file, including coverage for water damage during pressure washing.
Local noteLAFD expects documented cleaning history during inspections. Rooftop exhaust fans on older strip-mall buildings are a common failure point in LA and should be part of the standard scope, not a separate visit. Ask providers whether they handle fan repair in addition to cleaning — the two often come up together.
