Hood cleaning in Longview and Kelso, Washington
Longview and Kelso sit on I-5 between Vancouver and Olympia, which is exactly the kind of place that gets skipped by Portland cleaners heading home and Seattle cleaners heading south. We cover Cowlitz County as an extension of our Vancouver route, so kitchens here get the same crews and the same full-system standard as the metro.
The kitchens we clean in Longview
The Cowlitz County mix is practical: the hospital kitchen at PeaceHealth St. John, Lower Columbia College dining, the hotel and franchise kitchens at the Kelso interchange, downtown Longview's restaurants and bars, and the mill and industrial cafeterias along the river. Most kitchens here are semi-annual under NFPA 96. The hospital and the franchise fryer kitchens are quarterly.
Who inspects hood cleaning in Longview
Longview and Kelso each have a fire department enforcing Washington's adopted fire code, which requires commercial kitchen exhaust systems to be maintained per NFPA 96 Chapter 12. Cowlitz County's rural districts and Castle Rock and Kalama follow the same state code.
How we schedule Longview
Longview is about 100 miles from Salem. We schedule it as a northern extension of the Vancouver route, usually grouping several Cowlitz County kitchens together. Tell us your hood count and when the kitchen can be down and we will fit you to the next run north.
What we run into in Longview kitchens
Cowlitz County kitchens are typically older buildings with older exhaust systems: heavy-gauge duct, fans without hinges, and roofs with years of grease staining. We photograph all of it on the first visit, quote the hinge kit and containment honestly, and set an interval based on what you cook rather than a default.
Bare metal, rooftop to stovetop, with proof
Every Longview 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.
