Hood cleaning cost in New York

What hood cleaning costs in New York depends on the size of your system, how often you run solid fuel, and whether your rooftop fan is easy to access. Below is a realistic picture of what operators in New York actually pay — no lead-gen gimmicks.

Typical price ranges in New York

Most single-hood full-service restaurants in New York pay between $450 and $1,150 per visit in 2026. Multi-hood kitchens (think a steakhouse with a separate broiler exhaust, or a hotel with a banquet line) usually pay $1,100–$2,500. Ghost kitchens with shared rooftop fans often split the cost across tenants.

If you operate a QSR, coffee shop, or bakery with light cooking, you can reasonably expect $300–$550 per visit in New York. Overnight service typically adds 10–15%.

What pushes New York prices up

  • High-rise rooftop access in central business districts.
  • Long horizontal duct runs in older buildings.
  • Solid fuel (wood-fired ovens, charcoal broilers) — far more creosote per visit.
  • Tight service windows in late-night or 24-hour kitchens.
  • Full documentation requirements for chain or franchise compliance files.

Quotes to watch out for

If a quote for a standard full-service kitchen comes in under $350 in New York, something is almost always being skipped. Usually the rooftop fan, sometimes the full vertical duct. Ask for a line-item quote covering hood, filters, duct, and fan.

Is travel time typically a separate charge?
For providers headquartered in New York, travel is usually included. Providers traveling from another metro may add a travel fee.
