About Us

Done Right Hood & Fire Safety is an FDNY-approved fire-safety company specializing in commercial kitchen exhaust system cleaning. We proudly serve all five boroughs, Long Island, and Westchester.

We’re growing fast and looking for hands-on, reliable, and motivated individuals who want to build a long-term career. This position offers clear growth potential to become a Crew Lead and eventually move into management as we expand.
