About CertLinq
CertLinq is an AI-powered compliance documentation platform built specifically for commercial kitchen exhaust cleaning contractors. We make NFPA 96 compliance effortless so you can focus on what you do best — cleaning hoods and keeping kitchens safe.
Our Mission
Hood cleaning contractors spend too much time on paperwork — filling out forms, writing reports, and chasing compliance certificates. That time should be spent on jobs, not desk work. CertLinq replaces clipboards and carbon paper with a simple, mobile-first workflow that generates professional NFPA 96 reports in seconds, not hours.
Our goal is to make compliance documentation so fast and easy that it becomes a natural part of every job — not a burden that gets pushed to the end of the week.
