Atlanta's Trusted Hood Cleaning Experts

Veteran-owned, NFPA 96-compliant kitchen exhaust cleaning built on discipline, precision, and getting it right the first time.

Protecting Atlanta Kitchens Since 2000

Since 2000, High Temp Hood Cleaners has helped restaurants, hotels, and commercial kitchens across the greater Atlanta metro stay safe, compliant, and fire-ready. What started as one veteran's commitment to doing the job right has grown into a trusted name in commercial kitchen exhaust cleaning — built on the same discipline and attention to detail that started it all.

A Cleaner Kitchen Is a Safer Kitchen

Grease buildup in your exhaust system isn't just a code violation waiting to happen; it's a fire risk. Our hood-to-rooftop cleaning process removes the buildup that fuels commercial kitchen fires, giving you peace of mind and a kitchen that passes inspection every time.

Fire Prevention Starts With Us

Accumulated grease is the #1 cause of commercial kitchen fires. Our deep cleaning removes build-up from hood to rooftop, dramatically reducing fire hazard.

NFPA 96 Compliance, Documented

We provide NFPA 96-compliant service with full documentation, inspection stickers, and before/after photos—everything your fire marshal needs.

Service That Fits Your Schedule

We schedule around your operation—nights, weekends, early mornings. Your kitchen stays open and your team stays productive.

Every Inch, Inspected and cleaned.

From the hood surface and duct interior to the rooftop exhaust fan, we clean every inch of your extraction system—nothing overlooked.

Veteran Owned & Operated

High Temp was founded by a U.S. military veteran with a commitment to service, precision, and doing the job right the first time. That same discipline, accountability, attention to detail, and zero-shortcuts are what you get every time we step into your kitchen.

Why Restaurants Choose High Temp

Commercial kitchens don't get second chances when it comes to fire safety. We combine veteran discipline with NFPA 96 expertise to deliver thorough, documented, code-compliant hood cleaning—without disrupting your service. It's why restaurant owners across Atlanta trust us year after year.

01How often should I have my kitchen exhaust system cleaned?

Cleaning frequency depends on your cooking volume and fuel type. High-volume kitchens and those using solid fuel (wood, charcoal) need service monthly. Most standard commercial kitchens require cleaning every 1–3 months. Residential vent hoods typically need cleaning once or twice a year. We’ll assess your kitchen and recommend a schedule that keeps you compliant and protected.

02What does NFPA 96 compliance mean and why does it matter?

NFPA 96 is the national fire code standard for commercial kitchen exhaust systems. It sets the requirements for how often your hood and exhaust system must be cleaned, what the cleaning must cover, and what documentation you need to prove it was done. Failing to meet NFPA 96 standards can result in failed fire inspections, fines, or your kitchen being shut down. Every High Temp service comes fully documented and compliant.

03Will the cleaning disrupt my kitchen's operating hours?

No. We schedule every service around your operation — nights, early mornings, and weekends — so your kitchen stays open and your team stays productive. Whether it’s a single-location restaurant or a multi-site operation, we work on your schedule, not ours.

04What's the difference between hood cleaning, kitchen exhaust cleaning, and commercial kitchen cleaning?

Hood cleaning focuses specifically on the hood surface and filters — the most visible part of your exhaust system. Kitchen exhaust cleaning covers the full system from hood to rooftop, including ductwork and exhaust fans. Commercial kitchen cleaning is a broader deep clean of the entire kitchen space — floors, walls, equipment exteriors, and grease traps — beyond just the exhaust system. High Temp offers all three, and we’ll help you determine what your kitchen actually needs.

Kitchens Across Atlanta Trust Us. Here's why.

Don't just take our word for it. Restaurant owners and multi-location operators across the metro count on High Temp to keep their kitchens clean, compliant, and ready for inspection—every single time.

When stumbling upon them for my father’s business needs, I found their website to be easy to navigate and the prices of their services to be fair in comparison to other companies I’ve seen.

I loved the way that they kept me in communication from the quoting process to the job completion. They provided before/after pics of my hood cleaning and even provided a complimentary filter replacement. I’m locking their services in for life. Thanks guys.
