Short version: Like most projects, it started with me putting it off till the hottest day of the Summer, a magazine ad spotted in a grocery store checkout line, and a 14-year-old son who needed a Summer job. What began as a father-son bonding and a way to make extra money in 2012 has turned into 14 years, 10,000+ grills and ovens cleaned, and a full team of technicians

Read Our Full StoryExperience changes how you see a dirty grill. After cleaning well over 10,000 grills and ovens, we’ve seen just about every condition imaginable — from lightly used to “how did it get this bad?” Over time, you start to notice things most people wouldn’t. The type of grill, the buildup inside it, whether you mostly grill vegetables or fatty meats, even the color and texture of the grease on the walls can tell an experienced technician a lot about what they’re walking into and what it will take to clean properly.
But experience alone isn’t enough. Over the years, we’ve taken what we learned in the field and built it into our PrestigePurity™ Fresh Start Cleaning Service and the way we train our technicians. That gives our team a proven process to follow while still teaching them that different grills, materials and conditions require different treatment.
Experience gave us the knowledge. Our process gives us consistency. Our technicians bring the judgment to know the difference.
That combination is what separates Prestige from someone simply showing up with a scrub brush, a pressure washer and a bottle of cleaner. It’s also why so many of our customers have trusted us year after year and why we’ve earned hundreds of five-star reviews throughout the Denver area.
Every job is priced individually based on photos of your appliance and your location — no two grills, ovens, or outdoor kitchens are exactly alike, so we don't force them into a one-size-fits-all price list. Use our Quick Quote tool or send us a few photos and we'll get back to you with an exact price and an available date.
Get a Quick QuotePick your appliance type — grill, oven, smoker, vent hood or repair — on our Pricing & Service Area page and answer a few quick questions to get a price range in about a minute. We'll confirm your exact quote once we see photos of your appliance and know your location. No measuring tape required.
Fair question — we get it. Most of our customers have put real money into their outdoor kitchen, and a thorough deep cleaning is one of the cheapest ways to protect that investment. Every cleaning includes a free inspection, so we're not just making your grill look good — we're catching small problems, like a worn igniter or a rusting burner, before they turn into an expensive repair or a reason to replace the whole grill.
Cash, credit card, or check — whatever's easiest for you.
Your grill is one of the few cooking appliances where food sits directly above an open flame — and it’s often the least maintained appliance you own. A professional cleaning removes built-up grease, fat, food residue and burnt-on carbon from the cooking surfaces and the areas beneath them. That helps reduce flare-ups, keeps old residue away from your food and gives the grill a fresh start.
Every cleaning also includes a free inspection of the grill’s major components. Because we remove the grates, heat shields and other accessible parts, we can spot worn igniters, rusting burners, damaged hoses and other problems that are easy to miss during everyday use. Catching those issues early can help your grill cook more evenly, last longer and avoid a more expensive repair later.
And because we come to you, there’s nothing to disconnect, haul away or bring back. We show up, contain the mess and handle the dirty work where your grill already lives.
Every cleaning includes a free 10-point inspection, so you know exactly what shape your grill is really in:
Find something that needs more than a cleaning? That's what our repair team is for.
See Grill RepairWe use our own PrestigePurity™ Fresh Start Cleaning Service — a process developed and refined through more than 10,000 grill and oven cleanings.
We remove accessible components such as the cooking grates and heat shields, then take them to our service truck to soak in our proprietary heated steam-bath system. While the heat and soaking action loosen baked-on grease, fat and carbon, our technician scrapes, scrubs and vacuums the grill body by hand.
The components are then detailed, thoroughly rinsed and dried before the grill is reassembled. This combination of soaking, steam and hands-on cleaning helps us reach areas and remove buildup that basic surface scrubbing alone often leaves behind.
The process gives every technician a proven system to follow, while their training helps them adjust it for the age, materials and condition of the grill in front of them.
We use professional cleaning products specifically selected for our PrestigePurity™ Fresh Start Cleaning Service — products capable of breaking down heavy grease, fat and baked-on carbon while being used with the care your grill’s surfaces and components require.
After working on thousands of grills from dozens of manufacturers, we’ve learned that stronger doesn’t always mean better. Different grades of stainless steel, finishes and internal materials can respond differently to cleaning products. Our technicians are trained to choose the appropriate product and technique rather than simply reaching for the harshest chemical available.
We don’t rely on store-shelf oven cleaners or other shortcuts that can strip or discolor certain finishes. Once cleaning is complete, cooking surfaces and removable components are thoroughly rinsed, so there’s no harsh chemical smell, no fumes and no cleaner you need to “burn off” before using your grill.
Most cleanings take roughly 2 hours or more, depending on the size, age and amount of build-up. An especially neglected grill can take longer — we won't rush it just to hit a shorter appointment window.
Nope — we come to you and clean your grill wherever it lives. If it's on casters, we might roll it a few feet to give ourselves room or lay a tarp underneath, but it never leaves your deck or patio.
Built-in grills require extra care because the cooking appliance sits directly inside your outdoor kitchen. Before we begin, we protect the nearby stone, tile or countertop surfaces with absorbent coverings and keep our tools and dirty components off the surround.
The greasiest removable parts are carried to our service truck to be cleaned, rather than being scrubbed or pressure washed on your outdoor kitchen. That lets us work on the grill while keeping grease, carbon and cleaning residue away from porous stone, grout and finished surfaces.
“Mike was able to make our very dirty grill look new again. I was amazed how he was able to keep the surrounding area spotless. Definitely worth the money for his service!” — Denise H.
Grill cleaning is a dirty job. Keeping that dirt off your property is part of ours.
Before we begin, we place absorbent protective blankets beneath the grill and our work area to help protect your deck or patio from grease, carbon and debris. We also remove the dirtiest components and take them to our service truck, where they’re cleaned in our heated steam-bath system.
That keeps the mess contained where it belongs — away from your patio and yard. We’re not laying greasy grill parts around your property or pressure washing carbon-filled water across your patio. In fact, the mess created by pressure washing is one of the reasons we deliberately don’t use it as our cleaning method.
If you’ve ever tried cleaning a grill yourself, you know how messy it can get. Customers are often surprised by how clean we keep the surrounding area. We put a lot of effort into protecting your property, and in more than a decade of cleaning grills, we’ve never had to return to pressure wash a customer’s deck or patio because of a mess we left behind.
Pretty much nothing. Go run your errands, read a book, or just stay out of the sun — we've got it from here.
Totally normal, and not a problem — just let us know when you schedule your appointment. We go back and forth to our vehicle a few times during a normal cleaning, and we'll wear foot protection any time we need to come through your home.
We can guarantee your grill will be significantly cleaner than when we arrived. What we can’t honestly guarantee is that every grill will look brand new when we’re finished.
How clean a grill can ultimately become depends on its age, how heavily it’s been used, what you cook, whether it’s been regularly maintained, the materials it’s made from and how long the buildup has been baked onto the surfaces.
Our goal is to remove as much grease, fat, carbon and cooking residue as reasonably possible. But some things that look like dirt aren’t dirt anymore. Rust, pitting, heat staining, permanent discoloration and years of deterioration to the metal can’t simply be cleaned away.
Cast-aluminum Weber fireboxes are a good example. We can usually make a dramatic improvement, but years of heat and carbon can permanently darken the aluminum. We’d rather leave behind permanent discoloration than aggressively chase it and risk damaging the grill.
Our promise is to get your grill as clean as reasonably possible while treating it with the care its materials and condition require.
Because it's genuinely hard to do. We clean it anyway — you'll see a real difference, even if we can't promise it comes back 100% black-free, since manufacturers use different metals and heat shields under there. Depending on the lid and heat shield, it can add up to half an hour to the job. Most cleaners skip it because it's tough to hand-scrub and eats into their schedule. Yes, it'll darken again with use — but it's still part of your grill, so we still clean it.
Common question, common misconception — the underside of your lid usually isn't painted at all. What looks like peeling paint (especially on Webers) is actually baked-on soot building up over years of cooking heat, smoke and sauce, and it peels the same way old paint does. It's normal, not a red flag, and we can usually clean it up dramatically — on a lot of Webers, we've gotten the lid looking close to new again.
Get it cleaned first — you might be surprised how much life is still left in it. Almost every customer thinks their grill is the worst one we've ever seen (sometimes they're right), and almost every one of them has been thrilled with the results. A cleaning costs a fraction of a new grill, and it keeps one more grill out of the landfill.
If it really is beyond saving, we can help with that too — we'll help you pick the right replacement instead of just the most expensive one.
See Grill Sales & InstallationAbsolutely — that’s the whole point.
Once your PrestigePurity™ cleaning is complete, the cooking grates and other removable components are thoroughly rinsed and dried, the grill is reassembled and it’s ready to use. There’s no harsh chemical smell, no fumes and nothing you need to “burn off” before cooking.
We recommend one small step before your first cook: lightly coat the cooking grates with cooking spray or a little cooking oil. A deep cleaning removes much of the seasoned oil that had accumulated on the grates, so food may be a little more prone to sticking during the first cook or two.
Other than that, fire it up. Your grill is ready when we leave.
Plenty of people try — it's a dirty, difficult, time-consuming job, and store-shelf chemicals promise a shortcut. Read the label on most of them, though: heavy gloves, eye protection, and a warning not to inhale the fumes. And oven cleaner should never touch a grill, especially stainless steel — we've seen grills permanently stained because it was left to sit. It's formulated to eat through grease, and it doesn't know the difference between grease and your grill.
A little upkeep goes a long way — though eventually every grill needs a real professional cleaning again, no matter how diligent you are.
Unless you're the rare griller who enjoys taking their grill apart for fun, you probably don't see your burners, hoses or igniters until something stops working. Our free inspection changes that — we remove what's removable, clean it, and get eyes on every major component while we're in there, so small issues like rust, a loose screw, or a worn part get caught before they turn into a bigger repair.
Usually, yes. A grill that won't light or heats unevenly isn't just annoying — a gas leak is a real safety issue. Our technicians diagnose and repair igniters, burners, valves, regulators, hoses and grates across most makes and models, from freestanding grills to fully built-in outdoor kitchens. We'll give you an honest diagnosis before any repair work starts, so you know what's actually wrong and why.
Request a Repair QuoteWe carry a limited stock, since there are so many grill brands and models out there. Most repairs need a quick inspection before we order the right part for your grill, so you're not paying for the wrong one.
That's exactly what our Grill Sales & Installation team does. After 10,000+ cleanings and repairs, we've seen which brands hold up and which don't, so our recommendations come from real-world experience, not a sales quota. We'll help you find a grill that fits your outdoor kitchen, your budget and your cooking style, then handle a clean, professional installation from start to finish.
Explore Grill Sales & InstallationYes. If you don't need a full cleaning, you can bring us just the parts — grill grates, flavorizer bars, briquette trays, bun racks, drip trays, oven racks, pot stands or vent hood filters. We clean them in our shop within 24 hours, and in some cases while you wait. Drop-offs are by appointment only, at our Northglenn shop.
Explore Drop OffIf you can get your grill to us, yes. In our shop we can do a full grill cleaning, full grill repairs, remove scratches from grill lids and assemble grills. Call or text us to set up an appointment — drop-offs are by appointment only.
Explore Drop OffStainless steel can absolutely rust and pit — how prone it is depends on the manufacturer and the grade of steel used. If your lid or firebox has significant rust damage, it may need to be replaced. Firebox rust sometimes doesn't show up until we start scraping away ash and debris; if the damage is severe, we'll stop and show you before deciding whether to continue.
Smokers, yes — get a Quick Quote and we'll take it from there. Charcoal grills clean up differently than gas grills, so give us a call to talk through what you're working with and we'll let you know if it's a good fit.
Get a Quick QuoteOne of the most common questions we get. Some customers do it quarterly, some twice a year, some once. We recommend at least twice — once in late fall or early spring, and once mid-summer. Shutting your grill down for winter? Get it cleaned first. And we always suggest booking before a big backyard party or a grilling holiday — Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day. Spring books up fast once summer hits, so earlier is better.
We reserve the right to cancel any outdoor cleaning in high wind, rain, hail, thunderstorms or other wet conditions, and we’ll do everything we can to reschedule at a time that works for both of us.
We know you may have waited a while for your appointment. But cleaning a grill in wet or windy weather creates a greasy mess that even our protective measures can’t fully contain — the kind that can stain your deck or patio or leave greasy water drips between your grill and our truck. Keeping that mess off your property is part of our job, so we’d rather reschedule than risk it.
That goes for grills under a covered patio or in a garage too, since wind and rain can still carry grease and water around them.
