We have been in the restaurant industry for 16 years so in that time we have had a dozen different companies service the hood. For the past 8 years, we have exclusively used California Kitchen Exhaust. They come in and work their magic while we are gone and the next day, myself and staff marvel how clean it is and how much more airflow we get! Gustavo is easy to work with, good pricing, dependable, and his eye for detail is top notch.

We had a great experience with California Kitchen Exhaust. Our hood motor had an issue, and Gustavo was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. He was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to properly diagnose and fix the problem. Thanks to Gustavo’s hard work, the motor is now repaired and running perfectly. We really appreciate his responsiveness and dedication to getting the job done right. Highly recommend California Kitchen Exhaust, and especially Gustavo, for anyone needing reliable kitchen exhaust service. Thank you again, Gustavo! 🙏
