About Our Service
Core Hood Cleaning serves commercial kitchens throughout Encinitas, from the coastal cafes and juice bars of Leucadia to the full-service restaurants in Old Encinitas and Cardiff-by-the-Sea. Encinitas has a unique dining culture driven by health-conscious cuisine, surf lifestyle, and a loyal local base that supports independent operators. The stretch along Coast Highway 101 from Leucadia through Cardiff is one of the most concentrated independent restaurant corridors in North County. We provide full-system NFPA 96 cleaning on every visit with photo documentation and a compliance certificate on every job.
Encinitas restaurants operate in a coastal environment where salt air accelerates corrosion on kitchen exhaust systems. Combined with San Diego County Health and San Diego County Fire enforcement, staying current on NFPA 96 service dates is not optional. We schedule service during your closed hours, work efficiently to minimize disruption, and provide the complete documentation package your inspectors need.
