Grill cleaning and repair in Costa Mesa

Grill service across Costa Mesa

We cover every part of Costa Mesa: Eastside Costa Mesa, Mesa Verde, College Park, the Westside and South Coast Metro and the streets in between. Costa Mesa gets enough marine air that we check hinges, igniters and burner ports for corrosion on every job, even on newer grills.

Coastal air is hard on grills

Ocean air carries salt and moisture inland farther than most people think, and both cling to a greasy grill. Stainless resists it, but burner ports, igniter tips and hinge pins still corrode. Wiping the hood after a foggy week helps, but the real fix is getting the grease out. Plan on a teardown cleaning roughly every 6 months here.

Common grill problems we fix in Costa Mesa

• Grates that flake and pit. Salt air pits stainless and rusts cast iron. Grate restoration helps with surface rust; pitted grates get replaced.
• Corroded control panel lights and wiring. Ocean moisture gets into connectors on premium grills. We clean the contacts and replace failed bulbs or wiring.
• Igniters that stop clicking. Moisture corrodes igniter wires and electrodes. We clean or replace the electrode and wiring.

A cleaning means we take the grill apart, clean each piece with steam and a biodegradable degreaser, vacuum the firebox, then inspect, tune and burn-test it. Here's the full process.
