Window Cleaning

Brighten Your View. Boost Your Curb Appeal. Protect Your Investment.

Windows are more than just glass—they’re a connection to the outside world. They bring in natural light, showcase your surroundings, and elevate the appearance of your property. But over time, they collect dirt, dust, hard water stains, and grime that cloud your view and drag down the look of your home or business.

That’s where Fox Window & Gutter Cleaning comes in. With nearly two decades of experience serving San Mateo County, we provide detailed, professional window cleaning services that leave your windows streak-free, spotless, and sparkling—inside and out.

Clean windows don’t just look good—they contribute to a healthier, brighter, and more energy-efficient home. Whether you’re dealing with foggy glass, coastal buildup, or just the usual dust and fingerprints, professional window cleaning helps:

Our Custom Window Washing Process in San Mateo County

We don't just run a squeegee and call it done. Here's the thing—San Mateo County's coastal air, fog, and that mineral-rich tap water leave behind a film that plain soap won't touch. So we follow a detailed, multi-step process designed for long-lasting, streak-free results, even on those stubborn spots:

1. Assessment

Every job starts with a quick walkthrough. We assess the number, size, and accessibility of your windows and note any problem areas—like hard water spots from the Santa Clara Valley Basin supply or oxidation on older aluminum frames common in Millbrae's mid-century homes. We also check for any slope issues on lots in Taylor Estates that might change how we set up ladders.

2. Prep & Protection

We protect your flooring, furniture, and landscaping as needed. This matters more in some spots than others—like the older sewer mains in Green Hills that make us extra careful about where wastewater runs. Our team respects your space and we always take care not to leave a mess behind, whether it's a residential patio or a busy commercial walkway.

3. Screen & Track Cleaning

We remove and clean screens with a soft brush and solution—this is where the eucalyptus sap and pine needle residue from those mature trees around Millbrae really shows up. Then we vacuum and wipe down the tracks and sills. It's a detail many companies skip, but we've seen what happens when you don't: sticky buildup, rust, and screens that never quite fit right again.

4. Glass Cleaning (Interior & Exterior)

We use eco-friendly, ammonia-free cleaning solutions and high-quality applicators to lift grime from the glass. For the hard water chalk that's so common in San Mateo County, we adjust our mix to break it down safely without harming the glass—or your landscaping. Then we follow with professional-grade squeegees to achieve a flawless finish, even on the double-hung windows you'll find in older commercial buildings downtown.

5. Final Inspection

Before we wrap up, we do a final walkthrough with you. We'll inspect every pane together and make sure the results are exactly what you expected — or better. If you spot something we missed, we'll fix it right then and there.

Custom Window Washing Solutions for Every Style of Home

We’ve cleaned everything from those classic mid-century ranch homes in Millbrae’s Taylor Estates to modern glass-heavy builds near the bay. Whether you’ve got 10 windows or 100, we’ll get them clean — efficiently and safely. Our team is trained and equipped to handle a wide variety of window styles and configurations you’ll actually find around San Mateo County, including:

We Clean:

  • Double-hung windows (we see a lot of these in the older homes near downtown Millbrae)
  • Sliding and casement windows
  • Bay and bow windows — common in the split-levels around Lomita Park
  • Skylights and transom windows
  • French panes and divided lights (we handle the detail work carefully, one pane at a time)
  • Glass railing panels — that coastal breeze off the bay means they need extra attention
  • Custom architectural glass — including those aluminum-frame originals from the 50s and 60s that need a gentle touch

What's Included in Every Custom Window Washing Appointment?

We leave your windows looking spotless, bright, and professionally finished — every time. When you book with Fox Window & Gutter Cleaning, every custom window washing appointment includes:

  • Full inspection of windows and screens (we'll flag any sash cord issues or corrosion from the salty air before they become bigger problems)
  • Interior and exterior cleaning — we handle the hard water spots from Millbrae's mineral-rich tap water with the right acid-based solutions, no scratching
  • Track and sill wipe-down (we know those tracks collect everything from eucalyptus sap to wildfire ash)
  • Screen removal, wash, and reinstallation — we're careful with frames that have gotten brittle from years of sun exposure
  • Streak-free glass finishing, even when the marine layer is rolling in
  • Friendly service and satisfaction guarantee — we do the walkthrough with you so you can see the difference yourself

How Often Should You Get Custom Window Washing in San Mateo County?

Honestly, figuring out how often to schedule custom window washing solutions in San Mateo County can feel like a guessing game. You look at your windows and wonder—are they bad enough to call someone? The truth is, it depends on your home’s location, the weather, and what you can tolerate. Here’s a straightforward recommendation from our team, based on years of cleaning windows all over San Mateo County:

  • Every 3–6 months for homes in coastal or high-traffic areas—especially places like Millbrae or San Bruno, where the fog and marine layer leave a constant film on the glass.
  • Quarterly for businesses or storefronts—especially along Broadway in Millbrae, where second-story units and storefront glass gather grime fast from the downtown traffic and salty air.
  • Twice per year for standard home maintenance—usually once after the rainy season ends and again before the holidays, so you're not staring at hard water spots during family gatherings.
  • Before special events, home listings, or seasonal transitions—if you're selling your home in Hillsborough or hosting a wedding in your backyard, you want every pane crystal clear.
