About Hood Hero
Main Street Values. Industry-Changing Standards.
We’re Not Wall Street.
We’re Main Street.
Hood Hero wasn’t built in a boardroom. We were built in kitchens, crawl spaces, and late-night service calls.
We’re a Main Street company, proudly owner-operated, and not backed by private equity, not run by spreadsheets. Every decision we make puts people and service before profit.
At Hood Hero, we’re not just cleaning kitchen hoods, we’re redefining an industry. Founded to professionalize the kitchen exhaust cleaning business, we are on a mission to transform a field that has long been plagued by poor quality service, unreliability, and a lack of professionalism. Our goal is to elevate standards and create opportunities for everyone who contributes to our success.
Meet the Founder: Corwin Smith
Corwin is a seasoned operator in the trades. He’s been where our technicians are. He’s worked where our customers work. He knows what it takes to earn, and keep, trust.
That’s why Hood Hero exists: To bring respect, professionalism, and excellence back to an industry that’s often “good enough.”

We don’t just clean hoods. We protect businesses, elevate kitchens, and help owners sleep better at night. Every time we show up, our mission is to leave your space cleaner, safer, and better than we found it, because your team, your customers, and your reputation matter.
