Hood cleaning in Tacoma, Washington
Tacoma has around 650 restaurants and a crowded field of hood cleaners, many of them subcontractor crews working under a franchise name. What we bring to Pierce County is a company that cleans, maintains, and repairs the whole exhaust system with its own crews, documents every job with photos, and treats a Tacoma account the same as a Portland one. We serve Tacoma on scheduled Puget Sound trips.
The kitchens we clean in Tacoma
MultiCare Tacoma General and St. Joseph run 24-hour hospital kitchens. Emerald Queen Casino has multiple high-volume kitchens. The Tacoma Dome and the convention center run event concessions. University of Puget Sound and Pacific Lutheran have campus dining. Then there is the restaurant scene on Pacific Avenue, Sixth Avenue, and the waterfront, plus the franchise strips through Lakewood, Puyallup, and Federal Way. Hospital and casino kitchens are quarterly. Most restaurants are semi-annual.
Who inspects hood cleaning in Tacoma
The Tacoma Fire Department's fire prevention bureau enforces Washington's adopted fire code in the city, with the Pierce County Fire Marshal and local districts covering Puyallup, Lakewood, and the rest of the county. Washington requires commercial cooking systems to be maintained per NFPA 96 Chapter 12.
How we schedule Tacoma
Tacoma is about three hours from Salem. We run Pierce County as part of planned Puget Sound trips, grouped with Olympia and south King County. Multi-location operators and institutions with several hoods anchor those routes. If you run one store in Tacoma, you are still welcome; we will tell you the next route date honestly rather than overpromise.
What we run into in Tacoma kitchens
The pattern in Pierce County is a rotating subcontractor crew under a franchise name, a different standard every visit, and a report that never mentions the roof. Our crews are our own, the standard is the same on every visit, and the fan and rooftop are photographed every time.
Bare metal, rooftop to stovetop, with proof
Every Tacoma 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.

Exhaust fan maintenance

Tacoma hood cleaning questions
Do you have a crew based in Tacoma?
Our crews dispatch from Salem, Oregon and serve Puget Sound on scheduled trips. We say so plainly because it affects scheduling, not the standard of the work.
Can you handle all of our Pierce and King County locations together?
Yes, and that is the best way to use us up here. Multi-location accounts get one schedule, one contact, and a compliance file per store.
