CRANSTON, R.I. - s4story -- Hood Cleaning Expert, a family-owned commercial kitchen exhaust cleaning company based in Cranston, Rhode Island, today announced its expansion into Massachusetts. Now licensed in the state, the company brings its NFPA 96–compliant hood, duct, grease-trap, and drain cleaning to commercial kitchens across the Bay State.

With the expansion, Hood Cleaning Expert now serves six Massachusetts counties: Bristol, Plymouth, Barnstable, Norfolk, Middlesex, and Worcester. The company already cleans kitchens in every city and town across Rhode Island, plus service in the City of Boston.

Founded in 2019 and run by experienced restaurateurs, Hood Cleaning Expert built its reputation on a simple promise: clean every system to bare metal, in full compliance with NFPA 96 fire-safety standards. The company is not a franchise or subcontractor network — its uniformed, certified technicians handle every job directly, from cooktop to rooftop.

"We've spent years keeping Rhode Island kitchens safe, and being licensed in Massachusetts lets us do the same for restaurants, schools, nursing homes, commercial kitchens, and food trucks across the state," said Alex B., owner of Hood Cleaning Expert. "Grease fires don't respect state lines. Wherever a commercial kitchen is cooking, we want its exhaust system clean, compliant, and ready for inspection."

The expansion comes as commercial kitchens face growing scrutiny from health department inspectors, insurers, and fire officials. According to the National Fire Protection Association, cooking equipment is the leading cause of commercial kitchen fires, and insurers increasingly rely on NFPA 96 guidelines to determine fault after a fire — making professional hood cleaning service in MA a critical safeguard for food-service operators.
