The Movement

This Industry Was Built on Secrecy. We're Building It on Collaboration.

For too long, hood cleaning companies have operated in silos — guarding pricing, hoarding knowledge, treating every competitor like an enemy. The companies that win aren't the ones who hide. They're the ones who raise the bar for everyone.

✗

The Old Way

  • ●Guard your pricing like a trade secret
  • ●Never share what works
  • ●Compete on who can undercut the lowest
  • ●Treat IKECA meetings like intelligence-gathering missions
  • ●Hope your techs don't leave and take your methods with them
✓

The New Way

  • ●Share frameworks, keep your execution
  • ●Compete on quality, not secrecy
  • ●Raise industry standards so customers trust ALL of us
  • ●Build a network where asking for help is a sign of strength
  • ●Create an industry where the next generation wants to work

What the Community Will Be

A place built by operators, for operators. Here's what we're creating together.

💬

Discussion Forums

Ask questions, share wins, debate methods. Pricing frameworks, equipment reviews, territory strategy. No topic off limits.

📚

Shared Knowledge Base

NFPA 96 guides, fire marshal prep checklists, pricing calculators, onboarding templates. Built by the community, free for the community.

📊

Anonymous Benchmarking

See how your margins, job times, and pricing compare to the industry. No names. Just data. Know where you stand.

🏆

Recognition

Monthly spotlights on companies doing exceptional work. Not based on revenue — based on quality, safety, and community contribution.

🎓

Training & CEU

Peer-led workshops, NFPA 96 deep dives, business growth sessions. Real operators teaching real operators.

🤝

Territory Referral Network

Too far for you? Refer it to a trusted partner. Get referred back. A network built on trust, not territory wars.

Community Principles

The rules we operate by. Non-negotiable.

1

We share what we know. Knowledge hoarded is knowledge wasted.

2

We compete on quality, not secrecy. The best work speaks for itself.

3

We lift the standard for everyone. When the industry wins, we all win.

4

We welcome new entrants. More good operators means more trust from customers.

5

We call out bad actors, not competitors. There's a difference.

6

We measure success by the health of the industry, not just our own P&L..
