Hood cleaning in Gresham, Oregon
Gresham and east Multnomah County have close to 300 restaurants, a heavy share of them franchise and family-run kitchens along Powell, Division, Burnside, and Stark. It is the kind of market where a cheap canopy-only cleaner can operate for years until an inspector or an insurance adjuster finally looks up the duct. We do the whole system and photograph it.
The kitchens we clean in Gresham
Expect franchise QSR with fryers and charbroilers, independent Mexican, Asian, and diner kitchens, senior living dining rooms, school district kitchens, and the hotel kitchens near the I-84 interchanges. Most of these are quarterly or semi-annual under NFPA 96. The senior living and school kitchens in Gresham are usually semi-annual or annual and appreciate a vendor who can schedule around residents and the academic calendar.
Who inspects hood cleaning in Gresham
Gresham Fire & Emergency Services inspects under the Oregon Fire Code, which adopts NFPA 96 for commercial kitchen exhaust. The inspector wants to see a current sticker on the hood and a cleaning record on file, and will look for signs the fan and duct were done, not just the canopy.
How we schedule Gresham
Gresham is about an hour from Salem and sits at the east end of our Portland route, so it is typically served the same nights as inner Portland. We come in after close, work the hood, duct, and roof, and hand the kitchen back before prep.
What we run into in Gresham kitchens
The most common thing we find in east county is an upblast fan that has never been tipped back because it has no hinge. The grease under it is years deep, and the roof around the curb shows it. A hinge kit and a containment box on the first visit fix both problems for every visit after.
Bare metal, rooftop to stovetop, with proof
Every Gresham 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.
