A MESSAGE FROM MONTANA'S #1 BILLINGS HOOD CLEANING TEAM:
Billings, MT building owner,
We clean commercial kitchen exhaust systems to bare metal and give you the paperwork that proves it. That means the whole system NFPA 96 covers — hood, filters, the full duct run and the rooftop fan — not just the parts an inspector can see from the cookline. Every job leaves you with dated photographs and a certificate for your file. We work across Billings and the towns around it.
Your last cleaning is further back than it should be, and you know it. Maybe the fire marshal is due, maybe your insurer asked for documentation you cannot find, maybe grease is showing up where the cooks can see it. The part that costs real money is not the cleaning — it is a claim getting denied because nobody could produce a record. You want somebody who turns up, tells you straight what it needs, and does it properly the first time. The typical Billings property dates to around 1979, so the building stock here is mostly seventies and eighties. With roughly 101 freeze-thaw days a year, anything that traps water moves and cracks.
We come and look at what you actually have, and measure it, rather than pricing it off a photograph you sent.
It says what is included and what is not, which is the only way to hold two quotes side by side and read them honestly.
If this can wait a season, we will say so. If it is worse than you thought, you will hear that from us first.
You might know this as restaurant hood cleaning. Same work, either name. Everything below is work we handle directly, not passed to a third party.

Baffle filters pulled and run through a hot caustic soak or pressure wash, then the plenum and grease trough behind them scraped and washed to bare metal.

The duct run cleaned through access panels along its length. This is the part most commonly skipped, and it is where grease accumulates thickest and burns hottest.

Fan hinged back or lifted off, housing, blades, and fan curb scraped and washed. Grease drains directly into a containment box that also gets serviced.

Where the duct has no openings, panels are cut and fitted so the run can be reached and inspected. A duct with no access cannot legally be certified as cleaned.

Dated service report listing areas cleaned and any areas found inaccessible, before and after photographs, and a compliance sticker affixed to the hood.

Cooking equipment tented in plastic, floors protected, and wash water captured. Cleanup and degreasing of the surrounding area is part of the job, not an extra.
A cross-section of the jobs we handle around Billings — different sizes, different conditions, same standard.








We work Billings and the towns around it every week. We also cover Lockwood, Laurel, Shepherd, Huntley, Acton, Worden, Silesia and Rockvale. We know what the buildings here are like and how they age.
The crew on your job is licensed, insured, and on our books – we do not hand your work to a subcontractor and hope.
We do hood cleaning specifically. It is not an add-on to a general contracting business. The crew checks grease depth, locates access panels, notes any inaccessible sections, and photographs the starting condition. Inaccessible areas must be recorded on the report, not quietly ignored.
You get the number before the work starts, and it does not move unless something is found that changes the job – which we show you first.
Anything to do with hood cleaning. To start with: filters and hood plenum, full horizontal and vertical duct, rooftop exhaust fan, access panel installation, documentation and certification, kitchen protection and cleanup. If you need something that is not on that list, call and ask – we can usually quote it or tell you honestly who should.
We cover Billings, MT and the surrounding towns – Lockwood, Laurel, Shepherd, Huntley, Acton, Worden, Silesia, Rockvale, Park City, Ballantine, Mountain View Colony, and more. If you do not see your town listed, call anyway and we will tell you straight whether we can get to you.
Filters and hood plenum – Baffle filters pulled and run through a hot caustic soak or pressure wash, then the plenum and grease trough behind them scraped and washed to bare metal.; Full horizontal and vertical duct – The duct run cleaned through access panels along its length. This is the part most commonly skipped, and it is where grease accumulates thickest and burns hottest.; Rooftop exhaust fan – Fan hinged back or lifted off, housing, blades, and fan curb scraped and washed. Grease drains directly into a containment box that also gets serviced.. Which one is right depends on what we find when we look at it, and we will walk you through the trade-offs rather than picking for you.
Filters and hood plenum is the one we are asked about most often in Billings. Baffle filters pulled and run through a hot caustic soak or pressure wash, then the plenum and grease trough behind them scraped and washed to bare metal.
Most jobs land between $200 and $2,500 per cleaning visit, depending on condition and scope. We come out, look at it, and give you a written estimate at no charge. We are not the cheapest outfit in Billings and we will not pretend to be – but you will know exactly what you are paying for before anything starts.
Required cleaning frequency: NFPA 96 sets frequency by cooking volume: monthly for solid fuel, quarterly for high-volume or 24-hour operations, semiannually for moderate volume, annually for low-volume kitchens. Frequency drives annual spend far more than the per-visit price does. That is usually the biggest single swing in a quote, which is why we look before we price.
Yes. We stand behind what we do and we put the terms in writing with the estimate, so the guarantee is not a handshake you have to remember later.
Call us at (406) 831-1705, or fill in the quote form on this page. We will get back to you, set a time that suits, and come look at the job.
Free estimate, in writing, from a Billings team that does this every day.
Call us whenever suits. We handle every size of job, residential and commercial, across Billings and the towns around it.
Your partner,
Billings Hood Cleaning
