About Burlington Hood Cleaning

Burlington Hood Cleaning is a commercial kitchen exhaust cleaning service for the City of Burlington, built around a single promise: one number, one crew, one certificate. The number is 289-797-3190. The crew is Power Hoods Systems, the operating company that carries out every walk-through and every overnight visit. The certificate is a signed health and safety certificate that references the published NFPA 96 standard and comes with before-and-after photographs of every cleaned surface. This page sets out how that arrangement works for any kitchen in Burlington.

How the business works

The name on the phone, the crew in the kitchen and the paper in the file are one arrangement.

Burlington Hood Cleaning is the local brand and the front door. A call to 289-797-3190 and a request from the quote form land in one schedule, and every job from Aldershot to rural north Burlington is booked from it.

Power Hoods Systems is the operating crew. Power Hoods Systems supplies the technicians, the truck, the equipment, the walk-through and the signed certificate. A kitchen manager is entitled to know whose crew is on the line at two in the morning.

One certificate means the same document for every reader. A Burlington Fire Department inspector, an insurer, a franchise head office, a school board and a plant safety lead all receive the identical certificate and photo set.

The work covers the hood, the duct run and the rooftop fan as one scope on one held interval, which is what most callers ask for. The three services are on the services page. A single-hood kitchen up to ten feet starts from $585 per visit; larger systems are quoted after a free walk-through.

The documentation standard

Three items come with every job. None is an upgrade.

Before-and-after photographs of every cleaned surface. A gleaming canopy face is not evidence, because line staff wipe it nightly. Paired photographs of the plenum, the filter tracks, the duct interior and the fan housing show that someone worked behind the filters. They are sent with the certificate as a matter of course.

A signed health and safety certificate. The certificate references the published NFPA 96 standard and records the date and the surfaces cleaned. Burlington Hood Cleaning and its operating crew are not affiliated with NFPA. What the certificate does and does not assert, and how the Burlington Fire Department and Halton Region Public Health each read it, is on the NFPA 96 page.

Proof of WSIB coverage and liability insurance before work starts. The proof travels with the quote, so a property manager on Harvester Road or a facilities lead at a residence on New Street has the contractor file complete before the truck arrives.

What a customer can expect from a visit

The shape is the same for a burger kitchen on Brant Street, a school kitchen on Walkers Line or a banquet hall downtown.

Before the night. The first call covers the appliances, the canopy count and the closed hours. A free walk-through follows, and the technician names anything unreachable before the night. The written quote is back within 24 hours with scope, price and any item needing separate sign-off. The contact page lists what to have ready.

The night. The crew arrives once the last cook has left, or between two services. Equipment and floors are covered before any degreaser is opened. The work runs from the canopy through the duct to the fan, and each surface is photographed before and after.

After. The photo set and the signed certificate arrive by email. Keep them together. An inspector or insurer can ask for them at any time, and the next interval is confirmed from the photographs.

Overnight scheduling across Burlington

The kitchen stays open for its customers. The crew works around it.

Overnight is the default because that is when a Lakeshore Road dining room is empty. Between-service visits fit kitchens that never close: a hospital kitchen downtown, a residence in Roseland or a plant cafeteria on the QEW corridor books the window between two meals. School kitchens are worked after the last bell. Because the whole city is one territory, one route night can take in a pub on Brant Street and a hotel line on North Service Road. Which kitchens fit which schedule is on the who we serve page, and every community inside the coverage line is on the areas served page.

Next step: call 289-797-3190 or request a written quote. Say what the line cooks, how many canopies it has and when the kitchen is dark.

About Burlington Hood Cleaning: frequently asked questions

Who actually turns up to do the cleaning?

Power Hoods Systems, the operating crew. Burlington Hood Cleaning is the name on the phone and the quote form; Power Hoods Systems supplies the technicians, the equipment, the walk-through and the certificate, on every job in Burlington.

Why does this page give no founding year, crew size or star rating?

Because every statement on this page should be one you can verify. Years in business, truck counts and review totals are the numbers most often stretched in this trade, so none appears here. What appears instead is the published price and the documentation standard.

Are there customer names or testimonials on the site?

No. Kitchens across Burlington use this service, including burger and grill restaurants, a pub, a food truck operator, school kitchens and hotel lines, and none is named because none has given permission to publish it.

What does one certificate cover when the hood, duct and fan are all cleaned?

All of it. The signed certificate records the date and every surface cleaned on that visit, from the canopy through the duct run to the rooftop fan, and the photo set backs each line. An inspector or insurer gets one document for the whole system.

Does the kitchen have to close for a visit?

No. Scheduling is overnight and between services. The crew arrives after the last cook leaves or between lunch and dinner, and is gone before the first prep cook is in. A residence kitchen that never goes dark is worked between the dinner clean-down and breakfast.

Begin with the walk-through

The free walk-through is the method in miniature: look at the system first, name what can be reached, then put the price in writing within 24 hours.
