TESTIMONIALS

“As a former Director of Restaurant Facilities for a national chain that cooked over mesquite, I know firsthand that routine hood, duct, and exhaust fan cleaning isn’t optional—it’s essential. Any kitchen using animal fats or frying oils must have a regular inspection and cleaning program in place. If your budget can’t cover preventative maintenance, can it cover the cost of a fire? When you’re closed for business, you’re dealing with insurance, contractors, and regulatory agencies—not customers. Finding the right service provider is the hardest part. You only have peace of mind when the job is done—and done right. I’ve hired contractors from coast to coast, and when I couldn’t find a reliable solution, I partnered with National Guardian. Together, we developed a nationwide program that covered all our locations. Their photo and written documentation gave me everything I needed to verify the work. I chose National Guardian because they deliver on their word—and that made all the difference.”

“With over 30 years of experience managing restaurants in San Francisco—from national chains to regional groups and my own independent ventures—I’ve worked with a wide range of hood and flue cleaning providers. National Guardian stands out as the best. Their quality of work, communication, follow-through, and professionalism consistently exceed expectations. What truly sets them apart is their approach to vendor relationships—it feels like a true partnership. They care just as much about maintaining a clean, safe, and fire-free kitchen as I do. That shared commitment is both refreshing and rare.”

“I’ve spent over 25 years in restaurant facilities management, working with numerous companies across the country—and I’ve yet to find a team that does a better job with hood exhaust cleaning than National Guardian. From hoods and ducts to exhaust fans, their quality of service is unmatched. I’ve consistently received exceptional support from both their office and field teams, and their commitment to doing the job right stands out every time. I’ve referred National Guardian to other restaurant facilities managers and companies, all of whom have had the same excellent experience. I fully trust them and will continue to rely on their services across every brand and operation I represent.”
