20% Off Your First Cleaning. Bare Metal or We Re-Clean It Free.
You close at 10. We show up at 11. Your morning crew walks into a clean hood, and you get photos to prove it.

We fixed every one of those problems. Our kitchen hood cleaning in Encinitas comes with a price you see upfront, a time that fits your schedule, and before-and-after photos of every part we clean.
Valid for new customers only. Applies to hood cleaning services; excludes repairs and parts.

Our Bare Metal Guarantee

Plus: every repair is covered by a one-year warranty.
The Expensive Part Isn’t the Cleaning
A hood cleaning costs a few hundred dollars and a few hours while you’re closed.
Now price out skipping it:
- A failed fire inspection means you pay for the cleaning anyway, on the inspector’s timeline instead of yours.
- A fan motor that burns out under grease buildup runs $999 to $1,990, plus every night you can’t cook.
- A grease fire. Nobody wants to run those numbers.
The cleaning isn’t the cost. Skipping it is.

The Year-Round Plan. Schedule four cleanings for the year and your fourth cleaning is 20% off. We handle the reminders; you just open the door.
Built for Encinitas Kitchens
Encinitas kitchens run on beach traffic. Summer weekends near Moonlight Beach, brunch crowds along Coast Highway 101, and a dinner rush that doesn’t care if your fan is struggling.
We serve restaurants, cafés, breweries, and catering kitchens across Old Encinitas, Leucadia, Cardiff-by-the-Sea, Olivenhain, and New Encinitas along El Camino Real.
Coastal kitchens also have a problem inland kitchens don’t: salt air is hard on rooftop metal. While we’re up there cleaning your fan, we’ll check it for wear and corrosion so a small fix doesn’t turn into a motor replacement.
Who You’re Hiring
Gustavo Gonzalez founded California Kitchen Exhaust in 2014, after years of watching other companies send crews out without proper tools, uniforms, or safety gear. He also watched jobs get signed off that weren’t done to NFPA 96.
So he built the company that does it right. That was 19+ years in the trade ago, and the standard hasn’t moved: every job done right, every time.
