VentWash provides NFPA 96 kitchen exhaust cleaning in Winter Park, FL — Park Avenue's fine dining, Hannibal Square, and the Orange Avenue corridor — with discreet overnight service, bare-metal results, and photo documentation for Winter Park Fire-Rescue and your insurer.
Winter Park's restaurant scene is Central Florida's most polished: Park Avenue's linen-service dining rooms, Hannibal Square's chef-owned kitchens, and the brunch cafés that pack the brick streets every weekend. Many operate inside older buildings where exhaust ducts thread through historic structures — tight chases, shared walls, and rooftop equipment hidden from the street. Those systems demand careful access work and clean, quiet, overnight service that leaves no trace on the white tablecloths by morning.
The Florida Fire Prevention Code adopts NFPA 96 statewide — Winter Park Fire-Rescue enforces it locally, and inspectors expect a current cleaning certificate and a dated service sticker on the hood. The required frequency depends on how you cook:
| Cooking operation | Typical examples | Required frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Solid-fuel cooking | Wood-fired ovens, charcoal, mesquite, smokers | MONTHLY |
| High-volume cooking | 24-hour kitchens, charbroiling, wok cooking | QUARTERLY |
| Moderate-volume cooking | Typical sit-down restaurants, hotel kitchens | SEMI-ANNUALLY |
| Low-volume cooking | Churches, day camps, seasonal businesses, senior centers | ANNUALLY |

Yes, with the right access. Older buildings often hide duct runs in chases that original construction never made serviceable — NFPA 96 requires access panels be added so every section can be cleaned and inspected. We install code-compliant panels, clean to bare metal, and photograph each opened section.
That's standard for our Winter Park route. Crews arrive after close, work inside and on the roof with minimal noise, and are gone before morning. The only visible change is the updated service sticker on your hood.
