Compliance, in plain terms
NFPA 96 ties cleaning frequency to what and how much you cook. Pick the line that sounds like your kitchen:
Whichever band you are in, the requirement is the same shape: clean the system to bare metal, on schedule, and keep the proof. Eagle's maintenance programs run the rhythm for you — and the record builds itself.
Before / after
Drag the handle. This is the transformation the trade is famous for — and the one your inspector is looking for.

Illustrative imagery — one hood shown before and after a deep degrease. Your kitchen's own before-and-after photographs are taken at every real service and delivered with your certificate.
How a visit runs
We open the hood, duct access points and fan, and photograph the system as found — the scope is built on evidence.
Your cooking line is draped and sealed, then grease is scraped, chemically degreased and soaked out of every component.
Hot-water pressure washing takes the system back to bare metal — hood, duct and fan — the NFPA 96 expectation.
Certificate issued, dated sticker on the hood, before-and-after photos filed to your service record.
Who we serve
Restaurant owners, chefs, facility managers and franchise operators — anyone whose name is on the inspection.
Independent restaurants, franchise units and high-volume fry and charbroiler lines — quarterly rhythms, night crews, franchisor-ready records.
Hotel kitchens, hospitals and large institutions with facility teams who need scheduled programs, certificates on file and zero surprises.
School, university and corporate cafeterias — cleaned on academic calendars, documented for district and accreditation files.
Shared commissary kitchens and the trucks that cook from them — the exhaust system cleaned and certified for the health permit file.

NFPA 96 Cleaning Frequencies, Explained for Kitchen ManagersMonthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual? NFPA 96 sets your hood cleaning frequency by cooking type and volume — here is how to find yours.

What Fire Marshals Actually Check in Your Exhaust SystemThe sticker, the filters, the duct access, the fan — a walk-through of the exhaust-system checks that decide whether your kitchen passes.

Grease on the Roof: The Damage Nobody Budgets ForExhaust grease quietly destroys roof membranes, voids warranties and starts landlord disputes. Containment is cheaper than every alternative.
Read the guide →NFPA 96 sets the frequency by cooking type and volume: monthly for solid-fuel cooking, quarterly for high-volume operations such as 24-hour and charbroiling kitchens, semi-annually for moderate-volume kitchens, and annually for low-volume ones. A free inspection of your system settles which band your kitchen is in — and we put the recommendation in writing.
Every visit produces the same package: a cleaning certificate naming the system, scope and date; a dated service sticker placed on the hood; before-and-after photographs of the hood, duct access points and fan; and scope notes with your recommended next-service date. That is the record fire marshals and insurers ask for.
Yes — night and between-service scheduling is our default. The crew protects and drapes your cooking line, completes the work while the kitchen is dark, and hands it back ready for the morning. 24-hour operations are handled with split visits and off-peak windows.
We open the system up: hood and filters, duct access points, the rooftop fan and containment. You get photographs of what we find, an honest assessment of the system's condition, a written scope and price for the cleaning, and a frequency recommendation matched to your cooking volume. No obligation, no pressure.
Yes. Multi-location and franchise operators get one schedule, one documentation standard and a consolidated service history across every store — the format area managers and insurance underwriters actually want to read.
