Successful Hood Cleaning School Student Takes On Southern California


HotShot Hood And Duct Services, the REAL story

Anthony Blanton was born in Kentucky and moved to California when he was eight years old. As a successful sales rep for a large foodservice company from the outside one would think that he had it made. But to him, there was just something missing.

San Bernardino County started going to a grading system and cracking down on restaurants having their hood systems serviced. One of his customers asked him to ask some of his other customers who was cleaning their systems. He asked 55 that week and 52 of them said "Why, do you know somebody"? They obviously weren't getting the service they deserved. A lightbulb went off in Anthony's head and he started doing research.

After months of research and numerous calls around the country, he found a "Hood Cleaning School" in Nashville, TN. Immediately after attending the real life, on-the-job training at the school, he returned to Southern California and was cleaning kitchen exhaust systems the next day. One month later and 30+ accounts, he gave his two week notice from his job. It was a very scary time for Anthony and his family, but he just knew that if he provided a good service and did top quality work, his business would prosper.

It was no easy road, but now after 4 years and hundreds of satisfied customers, HotShot Hood and Duct Services is a well known, well established business. It is known for it's quality worksmanship, just like Anthony intended.

HotShot Hood and Duct Services are constantly continuing the training of their own employees, and have even been asked by other kitchen exhaust cleaning companies to train their staff in proper procedure.

I have admired Anthony Blanton of Hotshot Hood and Duct Services for some time now due to both his hard-working, go-getting attitude and his genuine concern and helpfulness towards fellow contractors.
I was not at all surprised when he directed those qualities towards dragging the grease industry into modern times by his involvement in The Grease Police.

Congratulations, Ant and TGP!
