Sean Fry

GreaseBusters of Oklahoma City is a family owned and operated Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning company based in Moore, Oklahoma that serves the entire state of Oklahoma. The Sikes' and Fry family opened the business in November 2017. We take pride in our quality and customer service, and those priorities have helped us become the successful company we are today. We started with a restaurant of our own and could not find good quality work at a reasonable price, therefor we decided to open our own hood vent cleaning and help with the same support issues we were facing as restaurant owners. We have been in the restaurant industry our whole professional career and we still are today. This experience helps us in understanding the customer point of view so we can exceed their expectations. When we decided to open our business, we searched many different companies before we landed on GreaseBusters. The standard of excellence is the main factor that led us to GreaseBusters and we have not been disappointed. Our leadership combined with their support has garnered us a reference list of multiple US Military Bases, Pizza Huts, Burger Kings, and many small mom and pop shops. We have exceeded expectations for everyone of our customers on every scale and hope to do the same for you.
