A few guys here have messaged me about the KEC stuff.... here's a video I just made from last night's job. This should explain KEC in pretty decent detail. This gig took us 3 hours, which also involved about 1 hour of sitting around waiting for the staff to clear out and get out of our way. Grossed around $125 per hour on the job. when it comes to Hood cleaning, the devil is in the details!

it might be something for you northern guys to think about to help get through them moneyless miserable winter months. Its nasty work that takes place at odd hours, but really not as bad as everyone says it is.

Ray,
I applaud you for adding this service to your every growing list, not many can handle the job of hood cleaning.

I have kicked the idea around for awhile now but haven't tried to pick up this niche.Do you think it can be done with one person or is two needed. I know it would be faster with 2 guys one wrapping and one on the roof prepping the exhaust fan. Need to pick up more commercial accounts for the winter time, residential will be dying soon enough.

Yeah, I'm totally out. There's too much money to be made easier than that. I spend those hours with barfing kids etc. besides over the last few years it has become very clear to me that you are able to accomplish WAY more than I can wth your time. Honestly I don't know how you do it. Good job.

Look at Ray's picture closely.......the brains of the business......the dog.....she controls his every move. When I visited Ray the dog asked Ray if he needed to go outside.

Am going to have to go in to a kitchen and see if the hood s are similar in design over here .
Do you use a hotbox to heat the rinse water or is it all booster pump and chem work only .
What if the ventalation pipes are not just straigh above the hoods piped out and up .do they leak easy at the joints .
And a was thinking of Gibraltar for my winter months ..

Cheers big yin .
If there straight up and down vent pipes then a would be up for hourly rate cleaning .but am thinking a lot of the hoods here are fitted into old buildings and they exit sideways then up outside of the old buildings in edinburgh well worth a look before a head to Spain .. wash all them white villas and luxury villas .
