Your kitchen ventilation system might be hidden behind cabinetry, but it works harder than any other fixture in the house. Every time you sauté vegetables or sear a steak, grease-laden vapors cling to duct walls, fans, and filters. In Rochester’s four-season climate, that buildup mixes with moisture, turns acidic, and quietly corrodes surrounding finishes. Partnering with CountBricks for regular kitchen hood cleaning Rochester homeowners rely on is the simplest way to protect cabinetry, indoor air quality, and property value.
Lake-effect humidity and wintertime closed-window living create the perfect storm for grease condensation. Local fire marshals report that cooking equipment remains the top cause of residential fires, and unmaintained hoods accelerate flame spread. Grease clogs also force blowers to work harder, raising electric bills and noise levels. CountBricks technicians see these issues daily in historic Park Avenue remodels, Irondequoit colonials, and brand-new Victor builds. Our data-driven maintenance schedules adjust for house size, cooktop output, and household cooking habits instead of using one-size-fits-all timing.
• Fire flashover in ducts that ignite at just 700°F
• Hidden mold growth where warm grease meets attic-level cold
• Premature failure of expensive range hoods and inline fans
• Lingering food odors that settle into fabrics and drywall
Most contractors still whip out a clipboard to quote a cleaning job. CountBricks replaces guesswork with our voice-driven AI estimating engine. Using a quick phone call or on-site voice note, we capture hood model, duct length, roof termination type, and recent service history. Our platform instantly references real-time Rochester labor rates, degreasing chemical costs, and any specialty access equipment required for cathedral ceilings. Within minutes you receive a line-item estimate, a projected timeline, and an e-signature work agreement on your phone.
1. Transparent pricing before a ladder is unfolded
2. Fewer change orders because every cost driver is captured up front
3. Built-in reminders for future cleanings tied to actual cooking frequency
1. Pre-inspection: We document grease thickness with digital calipers and upload photos to your CountBricks.com/client-dashboard.
2. Containment: Technicians wrap ranges and countertops in fire-retardant film to prevent splashback.
3. Filter & fan removal: Components are tagged and ultrasonically cleaned in our mobile service van.
4. Duct degreasing: Food-safe alkaline foam is applied, agitated, and vacuum-extracted without drips.
5. Final polish & air test: Stainless surfaces receive a micro-abrasive polish and blower CFM is re-verified.
6. Digital report: You receive before-and-after images, airflow readings, and a recommended re-service date via CountBricks.com/portal.
• Duct Length: Two-story homes in Pittsford may route 20+ feet through attic spaces.
• Roof Pitch: Steep 9/12 Victorian roofs require additional safety rigging.
• Historic Materials: 1920s plaster ceilings need gentler removal of access panels.
• Winter Scheduling: Sub-freezing temps can extend degreaser dwell times, slightly increasing labor.
• Standard under-cabinet hood, first-floor exit: $240 – $310
• Pro-style chimney hood with attic duct: $320 – $440

When a young family moved into a 2010 townhouse on Latta Road, they noticed lingering cooking odors and visible streaks on the stainless chimney hood. Our estimator captured dimensions via a 90-second voice call, and the AI engine flagged a probable blower imbalance based on model history. The live quote—$355 with next-day availability—was approved on the spot.
On arrival, technicians measured 0.22 inches of grease thickness—double the safe limit. After completing the six-step cleaning protocol, airflow improved from 310 CFM to 486 CFM, verified with an anemometer linked to the CountBricks app. A minor vibration remained, so the team replaced the $42 fan wheel, automatically updating the invoice in real time. Total visit length: 2.3 hours.
• 57 percent airflow increase, reducing smoke lingering during weekend grilling sessions
