Empire Hoods cleaned our entire system in one night — hoods, ducts, exhaust fan. We passed our FDNY inspection the next week with zero issues. The before and after photos were impressive.

We switched to Empire Hoods after our previous company kept rescheduling. These guys show up on time, work quietly, and leave everything spotless. Our hotel guests never know they were here.

Me encanta que hablan español y entienden lo que necesitamos. Nuestras campanas quedan como nuevas cada vez. El precio es justo y siempre llegan a tiempo.

Managing hood cleaning for 12 vendors in Chelsea Market was a nightmare until we found Empire Hoods. They coordinate everything — scheduling, access, individual vendor certificates. One point of contact for everything.

Our wok station builds up grease fast. Empire Hoods comes every month and the difference is night and day. They understand how Chinese kitchens work and don't waste our time.
