Restaurant hood cleaning in San Francisco
AFS Hood Cleaning serves San Francisco restaurants and commercial kitchens on a scheduled basis from our Sacramento base. Our crew cleans the full kitchen exhaust system, from the hood over the cook line to the fan on the roof, and leaves you with photos and a written record.
Commercial kitchens across San Francisco
From lunch spots in the Financial District and SoMa to the taquerias of the Mission, the restaurants of North Beach and Chinatown, and neighborhood kitchens in the Richmond and Sunset, AFS cleans hoods for San Francisco restaurants, cafes, food trucks, commissary and ghost kitchens, and other commercial food-service kitchens.
Across the bay, AFS also serves Oakland and other Bay Area cities by schedule. See all AFS service areas, or call to confirm service for your address.
The whole exhaust system, not just the hood
Grease doesn't stop at the filters. It travels up through the plenum and ductwork and collects in the rooftop fan. A San Francisco hood cleaning from AFS treats that path as one system.

What affects the price of hood cleaning in San Francisco
Every kitchen is quoted on its own, because the work is different in each one. The main factors are the number of hoods and exhaust fans, the length and layout of the ductwork, how easy it is to reach the roof and access panels, how much grease has built up since the last cleaning, and when the work has to be scheduled. Tell us about your kitchen and we'll give you a quote before any work is booked.

The San Francisco Fire Department's Bureau of Fire Prevention, part of its Division of Fire Prevention & Investigation, enforces the San Francisco Fire Code and assigns a district fire inspector to every part of the city. It decides how exhaust-system requirements are enforced at your kitchen.
The California Fire Code sets inspection intervals for kitchen exhaust systems based on the type of cooking. Cleaning is required when an inspection finds grease buildup. After each cleaning, AFS recommends a next-service interval based on what the crew found.
Price depends on the number of hoods and exhaust fans, the length and access of the ductwork, roof access, how much grease has built up, and when the work needs to be scheduled. AFS quotes each kitchen after learning about the equipment.
