Rancho ParkGrill Cleaning & BBQ Repair

Rancho Park is a small neighborhood tucked between Pico Boulevard, Overland Avenue and the Rancho Park Golf Course, with Cheviot Hills to the south and Century City just east. Most of it is single-family homes: Spanish and Traditional houses on tidy lots, many remodeled over the years. Backyards are a comfortable size, not sprawling, and the grill is usually a good freestanding cart or a modest built-in on a patio.

Because the neighborhood is a few miles inland, grills here don't take the beating from salt that they do in Venice or Santa Monica. The usual enemies are simpler: grease that builds up over many cookouts, spiders and insects that move in during the off months, and parts that wear out after ten or fifteen years.

The full version is in our guide to what happens during a professional grill cleaning. If you're wondering whether you need a deep clean or a lighter service, basic vs. deep cleaning explains the difference.

Patios here are close to the house, the garden and the neighbors' fence. We lay down drop cloths, use food-safe biodegradable degreasers and steam where it helps, and collect the greasy water so it doesn't land in your flower beds or wash into the gutter on its way to Ballona Creek.

We're in the area most days, including Cheviot Hills, Century City and West LA, so scheduling is usually easy.
