Hood cleaning in Albany, Oregon
Albany is 35 miles down I-5 from our Salem shop, which makes it one of the easiest places in the state for us to serve. Between Albany and Corvallis there are several hundred restaurants and no local hood cleaning company, so a lot of kitchens here have been paying Portland travel time or settling for a once-a-year wipe. Neither is necessary.
The kitchens we clean in Albany
Albany's kitchens are a mix of franchise QSR and family restaurants along Pacific Boulevard and Santiam Highway, the Samaritan Albany General Hospital kitchen, Linn-Benton Community College dining, the hotel kitchens near the I-5 interchanges, and a growing set of breweries and event venues at the Linn County fairgrounds. Lebanon adds Samaritan Lebanon Community Hospital and the Western University campus. Franchise kitchens are quarterly. Hospital and campus kitchens are quarterly to semi-annual. Most independents are semi-annual.
Who inspects hood cleaning in Albany
The Albany Fire Department inspects commercial kitchens under the Oregon Fire Code, which adopts NFPA 96 for exhaust systems. Lebanon and the rest of Linn County fall under their own city departments and rural districts, all on the same state code.
How we schedule Albany
Albany shares a route with Corvallis and is close enough to Salem that a short-notice job before an inspection is realistic. Overnight scheduling for restaurants, daytime windows between services for institutions.
What we run into in Albany kitchens
A lot of Albany kitchens have been serviced from Portland at Portland travel rates, or not at all. The first visit is usually a heavy one: filters that have not come out in a year, a plenum with a grease crust, a fan bowl full to the rim. After that it is a normal schedule at a local price.
Bare metal, rooftop to stovetop, with proof
Every Albany job gets a certificate of service, a dated hood sticker, and a time-stamped photo report the office checks against the job checklist before it goes out. Fire marshal, insurer, and health inspector each get what they ask for from one packet.
