Elite Hood Cleaning Wisconsin » About Us

Experience You Can Trust. Service You Can Count On.

Elite Hood Cleaning Wisconsin was founded in 2012 by Danny and Emily VanBuskirk after moving from Colorado to Okauchee, Wisconsin. Danny brought more than a decade of experience in commercial hood and exhaust cleaning, having co-founded Elite Hood Cleaning of Colorado with his brother in 2002.

What started as a part-time business quickly grew as local restaurants and commercial kitchens saw the need for reliable, professional hood cleaning and fire prevention services.

Today, Elite Hood Cleaning Wisconsin serves businesses throughout Southern Wisconsin with commercial hood cleaning, exhaust cleaning, pressure washing, fan services, and emergency support.

We continue to invest in quality equipment, technician training, and better ways to serve our customers.

More Than Cleaning. We Help Keep Kitchens Safe.

Our goal goes beyond removing grease. We help commercial kitchens reduce fire risks, stay prepared for inspections, and protect their employees, customers, and businesses.

From restaurants and pubs to hospitals, nursing homes, schools, and corporate kitchens, we’re proud to help Wisconsin businesses keep their kitchens cleaner, safer, and ready for service.

Proudly serving Wisconsin since 2012.

Proud to Be Part of Our Community

For Danny, Emily, and the Elite Hood Cleaning Wisconsin team, being a local business means more than serving local restaurants and commercial kitchens. It means supporting the communities where we live, work, and raise our families.
Over the years, we have been proud to give back through local organizations, events, and community initiatives throughout the area. Our involvement has included supporting the Waukesha Christmas Clearing Council, The Salvation Army, the Oconomowoc Food Pantry, sponsoring St. Charles Fall Fest, and participating in other local sponsorships and community programs.

Whether we are helping a local organization, sponsoring a community event, or supporting families in need, we believe successful local businesses have an opportunity to make a difference beyond the services they provide.
Southern Wisconsin has supported Elite Hood Cleaning Wisconsin since our early days, and we are proud to continue giving back to the communities that have helped our family-owned business grow.

The service we needed at first was just hood cleaning, the first crew that came did not complete the job. As soon as I spoke to Maureen and explained what occurred, they made sure everything was corrected. And I mean the service could have not been better. They replaced an engine for the fans, clean hoods, some wiring job and lid ordering. The Crew the Owner Dan brough was awesome. They got straight to work, cleaned up after themselves. Dan went above and beyond for us here at 5 Star Tainos
