Mariposa is the county seat, a Gold Country town on Highway 49 where Highway 140 turns east toward Yosemite’s Arch Rock entrance. Much of the trade happens in nineteenth-century buildings around the courthouse, which has itself been in continuous use since 1854.
Elevation gives the kitchens here a problem the valley does not share. Winter snow and repeated freeze-thaw work on rooftop exhaust components and the joints between duct sections, while summer tourism drives sharp seasonal spikes in volume, so a system swings between hard use and long idle stretches.
Commercial kitchens in Mariposa are inspected by Mariposa County Fire Department / CAL FIRE. Fire inspectors verify that your hood and exhaust system is cleaned per NFPA 96 schedule, your fire suppression system is current, and your kitchen meets all fire code requirements.
Cleaning Pros Plus provides the documentation your fire inspector needs — cleaning certificates with before/after photos, NFPA 96 compliance reports, and the IKECA credentials held by the company and its technicians.

The mix runs from diners and cafes around the historic downtown to hotel and lodging food service, catering and event venues, healthcare and institutional kitchens, and the school kitchens under Mariposa County Unified.
Many of those serve recreational visitors and work to seasonal schedules, which makes an annual average the wrong basis for a cleaning cycle. We set the interval against the months a kitchen is genuinely busy.
The whole system is covered — hood and baffles, plenum, duct along its run, and the rooftop fan taken off its curb so housing, blades and the deck beneath are cleaned properly.
Mountain conditions add a second job. Rooftop components and duct joints that have been through snow and freeze-thaw are inspected as part of the clean, with any deficiencies identified in the report, and where a section of duct offers no access we quote the panel instead of assuming it is sound.
Hoods, cooking type, roof access, and when you are actually busy. We scope and price it before booking.
The entire run is worked and photographed section by section as the job progresses.
Rooftop components, duct joints, belts, bearings and airflow all assessed while access is open.
Certificate, photographs and any deficiencies noted, sealed in EvidLY and ready when the county asks.

If your fire inspector finds any issue with our work, we come back and re-clean at no charge. No questions asked. We stand behind every hood, every duct, every fan — because your compliance is our reputation.
Your kitchen is worked by PECT Designated Technicians; the CECS is held by the founder alone, which is how we describe it.
Before-and-after photographs, the areas cleaned, and anything found wrong written down rather than left for you to discover later.
The paperwork states the frequency your cooking type requires and what was actually done, which is what gets read at an inspection.
EvidLY is our own build, and it keeps certificate and photographs together no matter how long the gap between services.
Should an inspector query our work, we return and redo it at no further cost.
Hood, duct and fan are quoted from what the system actually is — configuration, access and cooking load — so the quote holds up when the work starts.
