If you’re searching for hood cleaning prices in Spokane or North Idaho, you’ve probably noticed something frustrating: nobody publishes their actual pricing.

Every hood cleaning company says the same thing: “Call for a quote.”

Why? Because they don’t want you comparing prices. They don’t want you knowing what you’ll actually pay until they’re standing in your kitchen.

I’m going to do something different. I’m going to show you exactly what hood cleaning costs in our market—including our complete pricing formula, real customer examples, and every possible fee.

No surprises. No hidden charges. Just the truth.

The IGNITE Pricing Formula (Yes, We’re Publishing This)

Here’s our complete pricing structure:

Base Rate: $350

This covers:

Hood Length: $37 per linear foot

Measured wall-to-wall across the exterior of your hood canopy.

Filters: $12 per filter

You get two sets of UL-listed filters, one in your hood, one at our warehouse, being cleaned. No more chemicals and grease left in the parking lot.

What Other Hood Cleaners Won’t Tell You

Here’s the uncomfortable truth about hood cleaning pricing in our market:

1. “Flat Rate” Doesn’t Mean “All-Inclusive”

Most competitors quote a flat rate like “$495” or “$650,” then add fees after they arrive:

Suddenly, your “$495 cleaning” costs $945.

We quote the actual price upfront. What we quote is what you pay.

2. Cheap Prices = Skipped Work

If someone quotes significantly under $700 for a standard hood, they’re skipping critical work:

They spray, wipe, slap a sticker on, and leave. You think you’re compliant. You’re not.

3. No Insurance = Your Problem

Ask your hood cleaner: “Can I see your certificate of insurance?”

If they hesitate, you’re taking on massive liability. When they damage your roof, ceiling, or equipment, you’ll eventually be paying for it

4. Are they actually certified?

4. Are They Actually Certified? (NFPA 96 & IKECA)

The Truth: Most hood cleaners have zero certifications.

NFPA 96

The fire code governing hood systems. Legitimate cleaners should:

IKECA Certification

The International Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning Association - the only nationally recognized hood cleaning certification.

Ask Your Hood Cleaner:

“Are you IKECA certified and do you follow NFPA 96?”

If they say, “What’s that?”—walk away.

What You’re Actually Paying For

When you hire IGNITE, here’s what you get that other companies don’t provide:

Most hood cleaners provide: a sticker and a bill.

Annual Cost: What to Budget on Average

NFPA 96 Frequency Requirements:

(Based on typical 10-foot hood with 6 filters)

The Bottom Line

Hood cleaning in Spokane and North Idaho should cost between $620 and $1,200 for most restaurants, depending on hood size and condition.

If someone quotes significantly less, they’re cutting corners.
If someone quotes significantly more without clear justification, you’re overpaying.
If someone won’t quote at all until they show up, they’re planning to pressure you.
