PLACENTIA, CALIFORNIA — When it comes to traffic, speed kills. But when it comes to Riverside hood installation services, speed saves.

For customers of American Professional Services (APS-Hoods), speed saves time and money, to be exact.

Time is of the essence for many restaurant owners and managers in need of the Riverside hood sales and services provided by APS-Hoods. That’s why the company focuses on responding to calls quickly and getting the requested services completed in short order.

Customers seem grateful for the immediate attention APS-Hoods devotes to their particular needs, said Massoud Farazandeh, chief executive officer of APS-Hoods, a Denver-based company that opened a satellite location in the Orange County, CA area in August. APS-Hoods have provided hood cleaning and related services to commercial kitchens and restaurant throughout the entire state of California since 1989.

Particularly when it comes to opening new restaurants, for example, having a company that promptly responds and provides a wide range of services can speed up construction, which means the restaurant can open on time, if not sooner.

“It is not unusual for some hood installation companies to take a couple of months to complete the installation work,” Farazandeh said.

Meanwhile, the customer is unable to open the doors and begin generating an income, but they still must pay their lease and other bills. APS-Hoods has completed rush jobs in anywhere from two days to one week, he said.

“It’s important to note that we don’t cut corners and perform shoddy work just to say that we completed a job in short order, ” Farazandeh said.

Rather, it is the company’s 20 years in business that has equipped Farazandeh and his trained employees with the knowledge and experience necessary to streamline the process.

“We know how to get all of the pieces into place before the job starts, which helps ensure that the process flows smoothly,” he said.
One of the most important steps- and often the step most likely to hold up the project- is tackling the permitting process immediately, Farazandeh said. APS-Hoods works closely with the city to get all necessary drawings submitted so the permits can be approved.

Farazandeh or his employees hand-deliver the permitting paperwork to city offices, rather than mailing it. The company’s staff also helps expedite the permit process, in that they possess enough experience that when it comes to electrical and mechanical drawings, they often “get them right the first time,” he said, adding. “When you do it right the first time, city officials don’t send you back to the drawing board to make corrections. That in itself speeds up the permitting process.”

APS-Hoods also maintain an effective follow-up system to help ensure the permits get approved in a timely fashion.

Since APS-Hoods opened its Placentia location in August, it has been able to provide faster service to California clients because now it has room to store adequate inventory. They keep a large supply of materials and parts in inventory, which makes it easier for them to construct customized hoods faster, Farazandeh said. Smaller companies often are slowed down by waiting on ordered parts to arrive in the mail.

“Waiting for shipments after the job has started can really slow down an installation job,” he said.

Finally, APS-Hoods strives to meet customers’ needs by working extended hours when customers need a job completed by a strict deadline.

Service After the Sale
The speed doesn’t end with the kitchen hood installation process. APS-Hoods also pride itself on responding quickly to service calls. Farazandeh gives employees flexible schedules so that someone is on call 24 hours a day, in the event of an emergency.
