Highland ParkGrill Cleaning & BBQ Repair

Highland Park has seen a lot of homes change hands in the past decade or so. Craftsman bungalows and older Spanish houses on streets off Figueroa and York have been renovated, sold, rented out and renovated again. Very often the grill on the patio predates the current owner. Nobody knows how old it is, whether it was ever cleaned, or why one burner won't light.

That's a good time for an inspection. We check the gas connections and regulator, light each burner and look at the flame, pull the grates and heat plates to see what's underneath, and tell you honestly whether it's worth keeping. Sometimes a solid grill just needs a deep cleaning and a new igniter. Sometimes the firebox is rusted through and the money is better spent elsewhere. Our used grill checklist covers what we look for.

Plenty of Highland Park lots now have a second unit or ADU in back, and many duplexes and small multi-unit buildings share a yard and a grill. Shared grills get more use and less care than anyone's personal one. Grease builds up, a tenant leaves the burner on, or a hose gets kinked behind the cart.

If you own or manage a rental, a cleaning and safety check once or twice a year goes a long way toward preventing a grease fire or gas problem. We can coordinate directly with tenants for access. See grill care for rentals for the basics.

We cover Highland Park from Figueroa up into the hills toward Mount Washington, over to the Garvanza area near the Arroyo and the York Boulevard side by Eagle Rock. Many streets here are steep and narrow with tight parking, so let us know if there's a better spot to leave the truck.
