Commercial Kitchen Exhaust System Restoration in Mesa, AZ | Exhaust Restoration
Mesa Hood & Exhaust Co. handles commercial kitchen exhaust system restoration in Mesa, AZ, and the work begins the morning after something went wrong. A fryer flare-up discharged the suppression system. A monsoon storm soaked the roof fan. Or three years of skipped cleanings left carbon as thick as bark on the duct walls.
Whatever the cause, our crews arrive with welding gear and HEPA vacuums, since restoration means cutting out bad steel as much as scrubbing good steel. Twenty years on Mesa rooftops taught our licensed technicians which parts fail first, so gaskets, baffles, and fan belts get ordered before the first tool comes out.
Each job ends with a condition map and photos for your insurer, and NFPA 96 sets the bar for the finished system. Mesa Fire and Medical Department inspectors see metal that meets the International Fire Code. You see your kitchen reopen. Kitchens in Gilbert and Chandler call us for the same reasons.

Commercial Kitchen Exhaust System Restoration Services in Mesa, AZ
Commercial & Restaurant Exhaust System Restoration
Commercial and restaurant exhaust system restoration brings neglected hoods, ducts, and fans back to bare metal after years of missed cleanings. Mesa Hood & Exhaust Co. soaks carbon with heated degreaser, scrapes it by hand, and hot-washes each section until the steel shows.
Our technicians then swap cracked gaskets and rusted access doors. Kitchens that restore their systems start the next cleaning schedule from a clean baseline, and later visits run shorter.
Complete Hood, Duct, & Fan Restoration
Complete hood, duct, and fan restoration follows the grease path from the canopy to the rooftop fan and repairs what grease destroyed along the way. Our licensed technicians replace warped baffles, re-weld split duct seams, and install new fan belts and hinge kits, then balance the wheel before closing the housing. Airflow returns close to what the system moved when new, and your fan runs quieter.
Type I Exhaust System Restoration
Type I exhaust system restoration targets the hoods and ducts above fryers and charbroilers, where heat and grease wear metal fastest. Our crew checks the canopy against its UL 710 listing, replaces dented baffle tracks, and restores liquid-tight duct joints that grease found and leaked through. Your system returns to its listed design, and commercial kitchen exhaust inspections becomes a breeze.
Post-Fire & Smoke-Damaged Exhaust System Restoration
Post-fire and smoke-damaged exhaust system restoration starts after the flames are out and the suppression system has discharged. Wet chemical residue turns alkaline and corrodes metal if it sits, so our technicians wash it off the hood, plenum, and ducts quickly, then vacuum soot with HEPA filters and degrease what smoke coated.
Our team also checks duct walls for heat warping and report what needs replacing. Your insurer receives photos, and your kitchen gets a system ready for the suppression contractor's recharge and the fire marshal's review.
Water-Damaged Exhaust System Restoration
Water-damaged exhaust system restoration repairs what leaking roofs, burst lines, and flooded kitchens do to exhaust hardware. Mesa's monsoon storms drive rain through failed roof penetrations and rusted fan housings, and standing moisture corrodes carbon steel and soaks duct fire wrap. Our experts dry the system, cut out corroded sections, weld in new steel, and reseal the roof penetration. Rust stops spreading, and grease no longer seeps through pinholes.
Food Truck Exhaust System Restoration
Food truck exhaust system restoration revives compact hoods and stacks that years of fryer use and road vibration have cracked and clogged. Our team works at your commissary or event lot, scrapes the hood and stack to bare metal, replaces tired sealant around roof penetrations, and tightens fan mounts.
Clean, sound exhaust keeps fumes away from your service window and gives Maricopa County Environmental Services inspectors little to question.
Five-Stage Commercial Kitchen Exhaust System Restoration Process for Mesa, AZ Kitchens
Step 1: Survey the Damage
Our technicians photograph hoods, ducts, and fans, then mark heavy carbon, corrosion, heat warping, and failed seals on a condition map.
Step 2: Contain the Work Zone
Plastic, catch pans, and roof pads protect your kitchen, ceiling, and roof membrane, and fan power gets locked out.
Step 3: Strip to Bare Metal
Heated degreaser, hand scrapers, and hot-water pressure washers remove carbon. Neutralizer washes wet chemical residue off steel after fires.
Step 4: Replace and Weld
Crews cut out corroded sections, weld in new steel, and install fresh gaskets, baffles, belts, and hinge kits.
Step 5: Test and Report
Airflow gets tested with the fan running, and you receive before and after photos plus a repair list for your insurer.
Commercial Kitchen Exhaust System Restoration Costs in Mesa, AZ
Restoration covers a wide spread, from a deep degrease that restores bare metal to a rebuild of corroded duct sections. Damage decides the price, and fire or water damage pushes it up fastest.
Two public benchmarks frame the range. Angi lists routine kitchen hood cleaning at $200 to $1,500 per session, with $450 as the average, and restoration adds soak time, welding, and parts to that base. HomeGuide lists new commercial vent hood installation at $9,000 to $19,500, so restoration usually costs a fraction of replacement.
Costs | How it impacts your estimate |
|---|---|
Heavy carbon and grease | Longer dwell time and more scraping |
Fire or chemical residue | Extra neutralizing and washing |
Rust, warping, or leaks | Cut-out sections and new steel |
Parts count | Gaskets, baffles, belts, and hinge kits add up |
Roof and duct access | More hours on ladders, lifts, and long runs |
To give you an exact number, our technicians map the damage first, then send an estimate that names each task.
