PLACENTIA AND LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA— Most people realize the back-to-school season is busy for department and office supply stores, but a commonly overlooked market segment is restaurants and other commercial dining facilities in college towns.

These businesses typically slow down during the summer and the Christmas break, but once school is back in session, it’s game-on, said Massoud Farazandeh, chief executive officer of American Professional Services (APS-Hoods), which operates a fabrication plant in Placentia, California.

The company has provided Los Angeles hood cleaning services since it began in 1989, but opening the California fabrication plant has enabled them to provide better, more cost-effective Los Angeles commercial hood sales and installation services, Farazandeh said. (more…)

PLACENTIA AND LOS ANGELES, CA— American Professional Services (APS-Hoods) has seen its Los Angeles hood sales, cleaning and installation work double in the three months since the company opened its Placentia, CA satellite location.

APS-Hoods opened the Placentia location in August to better address the increasing demand for Los Angeles hood cleaning services, as well as calls for service throughout the state, said Massoud Farazandeh, the company’s chief executive officer.

Farazandeh attributes the success to the company’s determination to stick to its same code of ethics and hard work, combined with adding a satellite location that simply makes doing the California work easier, he said.

Prior to opening the satellite location, Farazandeh would send crews and equipment from the company’s Boulder, CO headquarters to perform Los Angeles hood installation jobs. (more…)

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.
