What does commercial hood cleaning cost?

Published price ranges (2026)

These are industry-typical figures from a published 2026 pricing guide, not FirstBearing quotes. Your quote depends on your system.

• Low-volume kitchens (churches, day camps, senior centers), cleaned about once a year: $300–$700 per visit
• Moderate-volume restaurants (a single hood, typical sit-down service), cleaned about twice a year: $450–$1,200 per visit
• High-volume restaurants (several hoods or 24-hour cooking), cleaned about quarterly: $600–$1,800 per visit
• Large or complex operations (solid fuel, casinos, hospitals): $1,000–$3,500 or more per visit
• Difficult access (tall buildings, hard-to-reach roof fans) can add 20–40%

What affects the price

• Hood length and the number of hood systems
• Number of exhaust fans, and whether they're on the roof
• Duct length, bends, and how many floors the duct runs
• How much grease has built up since the last cleaning
• Access panels — missing ones may need to be installed
• After-hours or weekend scheduling
• How often you're on a service plan (recurring service is often priced lower per visit)

Comparing quotes fairly

• Ask whether the quote covers the hood, the full ductwork and the fan — not just the hood and filters
• Ask what happens if they find areas they can't reach
• Ask for the certificate or sticker they leave after the job
• Ask for proof of liability insurance
