This post has been on our blog for a while, and it deserves an honest footnote: Eagle Hood Cleaning serves Maryland, Washington DC and Northern Virginia — not California. The article stays because the compliance thinking in it is sound, and kitchen operators read across regions.
NFPA 96 is a national standard. The frequency bands, the bare-metal expectation, the documentation discipline — a kitchen in Los Angeles is graded on the same fundamentals as a kitchen in Laurel. Fire marshals' local rules differ in detail; the grease physics do not differ at all.
Find the equivalent discipline locally: a cleaner who works to NFPA 96, photographs the duct interior, issues certificates and stickers, and puts your kitchen on a frequency matched to your volume. And if your operation ever brings you to the DMV — restaurants, commissaries or facilities — our crews will be here, with the same standard and the same paperwork.
The free inspection settles it with photographs: your system's real condition, a written scope, and the NFPA 96 frequency for your kitchen. Call (855) 811-3088 or request it online.
