ABOUT US

Dependable Hood & Duct Cleaning

In February 2009 , Dependable Hood & Duct was formed. Having been passionate in his former entrepreneurial endeavors, Steve, while watching his own commercial kitchen exhaust system being cleaned, realized that this type of service business would be the avenue of his next endeavor. Steve discussed with Rich, his brother-in-law, the possibility of starting their own kitchen exhaust cleaning and inspection company. We converted Rich’s family van into a well-equipped kitchen exhaust cleaning van. By 2011 we realized that the work demanded a three-man crew to consistently adhere to the NFPA 96 Fire Code Standard. In December 2012, we bought our first Mercedes sprinter van to accommodate our three-man crew and to house our state-of-the-art equipment. Our company grew steadily with national account management companies and local businesses.
