Primary cost drivers
Hood length, number of systems, vertical or horizontal duct length, access panels, rooftop access, cooking method, buildup, service window and travel all matter.
Compare complete scope
Ask whether filters, fan, grease containment, access-panel cleaning, cleanup, photographs and labels are included.
Avoid suspiciously cheap scopes
A low figure may cover visible canopy surfaces only. Confirm cleaning through the exhaust path and the condition standard being promised.
Operations FAQ
Useful answers before the service window.
Can I get a price from hood length alone?+
Only as a rough screen. Ductwork, fan, access and buildup can change labor substantially.
Are filters included?+
Sometimes. The quote should state whether filters are cleaned, exchanged or excluded.
