The APS marketing team has been monitoring the rate of new hood cleaning jobs in the Colorado cities of Boulder, Longmont, and Fort Collins. Its findings show that APS was the most popular restaurant exhaust hood cleaning company for these cities in the past three months. For Boulder hood cleaning in particular, APS showed a 15 % increase in its new customer base. This is despite issues such as the poor economy, and restaurants cutting back on hood cleaning services.

Just last week when an APS hood cleaning crew was servicing a new account in Boulder, it collected 27 liters of hardened grease from inside the duct system. Once shown to the customer, the gentleman was in awe. He had been getting his hoods cleaned regularly by another company for the past 15 years. “It’s easy to only clean the areas immediately noticeable, and many unethical companies reduce their cost by not properly removing grease from the interior of the system.” said Mr. Farazandeh, the company’s chief executive.

Fort Collins hood cleaning jobs have also increased by over 10 percent in the past three months, while exhaust hood cleaning was up by about 12% in Longmont Colorado. APS director of marketing, Hossein Hashemi believes this to be due to the most effective form of marketing, word of mouth. “APS services are now viral.” He said. “Our customers are finding other customers for us. We know this because our referral rates are also up. This is especially true for Longmont, Fort Collins, Loveland, and Boulder hood cleaning.” He added.

The company believes there to be a direct correlation between its growth and its code of ethics. APS-hoods takes pride in being Colorado’s most trusted hood cleaning company.

PLACENTIA, CA—American Professional Services (APS-Hoods), which performs Ventura, CA hood installations, recently released a recommended cleaning schedule for restaurant owners to follow, in an effort to prevent grease build-up in commercial kitchens.

Grease that is left to clog link lines in fire suppression systems, or that builds up in hood plenums and ducts can fuel a fire if one was to break out, said Massoud Farazandeh, chief executive officer of APS-Hoods. APS-Hoods opened a satellite location in California in August to better provide Ventura, CA hood sales and Ventura, CA hood cleaning services. (more…)

DENVER, COLORADO—American Professional Services (APS-Hoods) announces a special offer for current and potential clients in need of Denver grease trap and hood cleaning services.

APS-Hoods is offering to beat what current and potential customers are paying for hood cleaning and fire system services by up to 10 percent when they allow APS-Hoods to provide both of those services.

The Denver, CO hood cleaning company, which is headquartered in Denver but provides services throughout Colorado and the United States, created this offer for a couple of reasons, said Massoud Farazandeh, chief executive officer of APS-Hoods. Many restaurants and commercial kitchens are looking for ways to cut costs during these tough economic times. It’s more economical for APS-Hoods to perform multiple services in one trip, rather than splitting them up. (more…)

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.
