More than a gas grill
Walk through Culver City's backyards and you'll see the range. A gas grill is still the most common, but plenty of homes also have a pellet smoker, a flat-top griddle or a countertop pizza oven, and the people who own them actually use them. Each one gets dirty in its own way. Pellet smokers collect ash in the fire pot and grease in the drain channel. Griddles rust if the seasoning breaks down. Pizza ovens build up soot in the flue.
We work on all of it on the same visit. Details are on our smokers, griddles and pizza ovens page, and our guides cover smoker maintenance, griddle care and pizza oven cleaning.

Neighborhoods we cover
Culver City's housing is mostly single-family homes from the 1920s through the 1950s, plus newer condos and townhomes near downtown and along Washington. We work across the city: Carlson Park, Culver Crest, Blair Hills, Blanco-Culver Crest, McManus, Lindberg Park, Sunkist Park, Clarkdale, Studio Village, Fox Hills and the downtown area. Fox Hills in particular has many condo complexes with shared grills, which we can service through the HOA.
Up on the hills in Culver Crest and Blair Hills, the lots sit against the open space around the Baldwin Hills, so leaf litter, rodents in grill cabinets and spider webs in burner tubes are more common than down in the flats.

Culver City questions
Do you service pellet smokers like Traeger?
Yes. We clean out the fire pot, grease path and chamber, and check the igniter rod and auger. See our Traeger page for brand-specific notes.
Can you re-season a rusty griddle?
Usually. Surface rust comes off, and the cooktop can be re-seasoned. Deep pitting can't be fully reversed but often doesn't affect cooking.
Will you clean a grill and a pizza oven on the same visit?
Yes. Book them together and we'll plan the time accordingly.
How much does it cost?
It depends on what you have, its size and condition, and any parts. Call or text, or send photos, and we'll quote it.
