Restaurant Hood Cleaning in Camrose, Alberta

We are an independent referral service. We do not clean hoods ourselves — we connect Camrose kitchen operators with one vetted local trade partner who runs scheduled service into east-central Alberta. One call, one crew, no bidding circus.

Why Camrose kitchens get overlooked

Camrose sits around 20,000 people with no dedicated NFPA 96 hood cleaning company based in town. Most operators here end up on a rotation from Edmonton or Red Deer — and the ones who booked whoever answered the phone first often discover the work stopped at the filters and the hood plenum, never reaching the horizontal duct run or the rooftop fan. That is the part your insurer and the fire inspector care about.

Camrose is roughly 130 km from Red Deer via Highway 21 and Highway 13 — far enough that a same-day emergency call is unrealistic, close enough that a scheduled run makes sense. Grouping several Camrose kitchens into one trip is how the price stays reasonable, so booking a few weeks out beats calling in a panic.

The three kitchen types we hear from most

Campus and institutional dining

Augustana Campus food service and the larger institutional kitchens in town run multiple hoods over multiple cook lines — fryers, flat tops, and combi ovens under separate exhaust systems. These jobs are usually scheduled around reading week or the summer shutdown, when the servery is dark and a crew can pull filters, scrape ducts, and hot-wash the fan without working around a lunch rush.

Downtown restaurants

The 50 Street and Main Street strip is mostly older buildings with tight mechanical rooms, short duct runs, and rooftop fans that were never designed for easy access. Older buildings also mean access panels are sometimes missing entirely — a proper clean may require cutting and fitting new ones, which is a one-time cost worth knowing about up front.

Hotels and the casino property

Camrose Resort Casino and the hotel kitchens run banquet-scale equipment with heavy solid-fuel-free but high-volume charbroiling and frying loads. Under NFPA 96, that volume of cooking typically pushes inspection frequency to quarterly rather than semi-annual.

What it costs

Most jobs in the Camrose area run $400–$900 for a single-hood restaurant line and $1,200–$2,500+ for multi-hood institutional or banquet kitchens. Rooftop fan hinge kits, new access panels, and heavy grease loads from a system that has been neglected for years add to that. You should receive before-and-after photos and a signed service sticker — keep both; that is your proof for the fire inspector and your insurer.
