Use this guide to organize observations and questions before contacting a provider. It is not a diagnosis or a fixed scope of work. Conditions at the location, equipment specifications, safety requirements, local rules, and the provider's inspection can all change the appropriate next step.

Verify the proposed scope

Ask the provider to identify every system component included and any area it expects to leave inaccessible or outside the proposal.

  • Hood, plenum, filters, ducts, fan, and roof boundaries
  • Access-panel and fan-hinge limitations
  • Kitchen degreasing that is included or excluded

Write down what you can verify without taking an unsafe action or disassembling equipment. If a detail is unknown, say that directly. A provider can then decide what must be inspected on site and what information can be confirmed before travel or scheduling.

Review safety and documentation

The business performing the work controls its training, methods, insurance, rooftop practices, electrical procedures, and service records.

  • Insurance and site-safety requirements
  • Chemical, wastewater, and rooftop protection process
  • Photos, labels, reports, and deficiency notices

Confirm arrival window, expected shutdown, recurring-service terms, cancellation rules, payment, and how repair concerns are handled.

  • Recurring schedule changes
  • Responsibility for fan, access, electrical, or equipment repairs
