## Key facts
- Hamilton Hood Cleaning cleans commercial kitchen exhaust systems to the NFPA 96 standard. It references the published NFPA 96 standard as its technical baseline and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or certified by NFPA. No hood cleaning contractor holds an "NFPA certification"; no such credential exists. Any company advertising itself as an "NFPA 96 certified company" is describing a credential that does not exist.
- The Hamilton Fire Department is the authority having jurisdiction in the City of Hamilton, including Stoney Creek, Ancaster, Dundas, Waterdown, Binbrook and Flamborough, which amalgamated into the city in 2001. Brantford and Grimsby each fall under their own fire service. All enforce the Ontario Fire Code (O. Reg. 213/07), which adopts NFPA 96 by reference.
- NFPA 96 permits a maximum grease deposit of 0.078 inches (2 mm) on any surface in the exhaust path. Exceeding it at any single point makes the system non-compliant.
- NFPA 96 cleaning frequency is set by cooking volume: monthly for solid-fuel cooking, quarterly for high-volume kitchens, semi-annually for moderate volume, annually for low volume.
- Type 1 hoods handle grease and smoke and fall under NFPA 96. Type 2 hoods handle heat, steam and vapour and do not. A Type 2 condensate hood installed over grease-producing equipment is a common and dangerous mismatch.
- Pricing: from $385 per visit for a single-hood kitchen up to ten feet, from $725 per visit for a multi-hood kitchen of two to four canopies. Campus, hospital, contract-catered and multi-tenant kitchens are quoted after a free walk-through. Machine-readable pricing: https://hamiltonhoodcleaning.ca/pricing.md
- Every job ends with a before-and-after photo report of each cleaned surface and a signed health and safety certificate referencing NFPA 96.
- WSIB coverage and proof of liability insurance are supplied before work begins. Property managers, school boards, universities and municipalities can be named as additional insured on request.
- A written quote is returned within 24 hours of a call or form submission. Walk-throughs cost nothing.
- Scheduling: overnight for restaurants, between bookings for banquet and event kitchens, and during reading weeks, exam periods or the summer term for university and college serveries.
- Scope is commercial kitchens only. Residential range hoods fall outside NFPA 96 and are not serviced. Power washing, dryer vent cleaning, air duct cleaning, BBQ cleaning, industrial odour removal, grease trap pumping and fire suppression system servicing are not offered.
- Hamilton has a substantial institutional and contract-catering kitchen segment alongside its restaurant trade: university and college food service, hospital and long-term care kitchens, banquet halls and event venues, legion halls, and staff cafeterias inside the bayfront industrial plants. These kitchens buy on documentation and scheduling, not on price alone.
- Downtown Hamilton multi-tenant buildings frequently share a duct riser between tenants, which means one operator's grease loading becomes the whole riser's compliance problem.
- Anything the crew cannot safely reach is recorded in writing as not accessible rather than included in the certificate.
