Full-Service Window and Gutter Cleaning in San Mateo County

Full-Service Window and Gutter Cleaning That Keeps Your Home Bright and Protected

If you live in Millbrae or anywhere in San Mateo County, you know the drill. The fog rolls in, the marine layer settles, and your windows end up with that stubborn film that won’t budge with a squeegee and some spray. That’s where we come in. Fox Window & Gutter Cleaning has been handling the unique window and gutter challenges of this area for nearly two decades. We’re not just here to make things look nicer—we’re here to keep your home in shape, no matter what the Bay Area weather throws at it.

Our full-service window and gutter cleaning covers every pane, track, and trough. We do the inside, the outside, the hard-to-reach second story, and the gutters that are clogged with eucalyptus leaves and pine needles. It’s a two-for-one that saves you from climbing ladders yourself, and honestly, it’s the kind of service that leaves your home feeling brand new. We’re based in Millbrae, but we travel all over San Mateo County—Burlingame, San Bruno, Hillsborough, South San Francisco—you name it.

Why You Need Both Windows and Gutters Done Right

Here’s the thing: your windows and gutters are more connected than you might think. When gutters clog, water spills over the edge and splashes onto your windows, leaving hard water spots and streaks that are nearly impossible to scrub off. And when windows are dirty, they let in less light, making your home feel dingy and closed off. It’s a cycle that’s easy to ignore, but it doesn’t take long before your home starts looking neglected.

That’s why our full-service window and gutter cleaning tackles both at once. We clear out the gutters so water flows away from your roof and foundation, and we clean the windows so you can actually see the Bay views (or at least the neighbors’ nicely kept yards). Plus, with the mineral-rich tap water in Millbrae—drawn from the Santa Clara Valley Basin—hard water stains on glass are a real pain. We use acid-based solutions that break down that chalky white residue without harming your window frames. That’s a detail that matters when you’ve got mid-century aluminum frames that can corrode if you look at them wrong.

  • Protection for your window seals and gutter systems, so they last longer and need fewer repairs

The Millbrae Difference: What We Account For

Living in Millbrae means dealing with conditions that aren’t the same as, say, Sacramento or even San Jose. Our full-service window and gutter cleaning is tailored to this area, and that’s not just talk. Take the housing stock: a lot of homes here are mid-century ranch-style or split-levels from the ’50s and ’70s. Those old aluminum-frame windows? They need careful handling—the frames are softer, the tracks are narrow, and the glass panes are often original, so they’re more prone to scratching. We know how to work with them without causing damage, and we’ve got the experience to prove it. About Us.

Then there’s the climate. We get maybe 10-15 inches of rain a year, but almost all of it comes between November and April. That means when the rains hit, the gutters suddenly fill with debris that’s been sitting there since fall, and the windows get plastered with water spots overnight. We’ve seen it a hundred times. That’s why we offer scheduled cleanings right before or right after the rainy season, so you’re not staring at a waterfall pouring over your gutter’s edge.

And don’t get me started on the fog. The marine layer from the Pacific doesn’t just make everything damp—it leaves a fine mist on your windows that dries into hard water spots, especially when combined with the minerals in our tap water. We use a multi-step rinse process to get rid of that film, and we make sure we’re not leaving wastewater running into your driveway, especially if your home’s in the Green Hills area where older sewer mains can be a problem.

Plus, if your place is right west of El Camino Real, you’re probably dealing with salty air from the Bay and SFO’s flight path. That salt speeds up corrosion on frames and screens, so we take extra care to clean and dry the edges, not just the glass. It’s the little things that keep your windows working for years.

We Clean:

  • Interior and exterior window glass
  • Skylights and solar tubes
  • Sliding glass doors and French panes
  • Screens, sills, and tracks
  • Hard-to-reach or second-story windows
  • Post-construction or move-in windows — we've tackled plenty of those around the Bay Area, especially after remodels in the Hillsborough area.

Commercial Window Cleaning

A clean storefront on Broadway in Millbrae or a sharp office lobby in San Mateo County says a lot about how you run things. Clients and customers notice when glass sparkles—and honestly, they notice when it doesn’t. We work around your business hours, whether that means early mornings before the coffee shop opens or evenings after the office clears out. And we’re fully insured, so you don’t have to worry about a thing.

Our commercial window cleaning services are ideal for:

  • Retail storefronts along El Camino Real and downtown Broadway
  • Office buildings in San Bruno and South San Francisco
  • Restaurants and cafes where patio glass gets foggy and spotted fast
  • Medical clinics and professional offices that need a spotless look
  • HOA and apartment complexes across Millbrae and Burlingame

Our Window Cleaning Process

We follow a detailed, multi-step cleaning process designed for long-lasting, streak-free results — even when that marine layer rolls in and leaves everything damp again by noon.

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 or oxidation — common around here with our mineral-rich groundwater from the Santa Clara Valley Basin.

2. Prep & Protection

We protect your flooring, furniture, and landscaping as needed. Our team is respectful of your space and always takes care not to leave a mess behind — especially on those sloped lots in Taylor Estates where we need to be extra careful with ladder placement.

3. Screen & Track Cleaning

We remove and clean screens with a soft brush and solution, then vacuum and wipe down the tracks and sills — details many companies skip. Around here, that's huge, because the salty air from the Bay and SFO really does a number on aluminum frames and screens, especially west of El Camino Real.

4. Glass Cleaning (Interior & Exterior)

We use eco-friendly, ammonia-free cleaning solutions and high-quality applicators to lift grime from the glass, followed by professional-grade squeegees to achieve a flawless finish. If you've got chalky hard water spots, we've got the right approach for that too — no harsh acids that'll damage your seals.

5. Final Inspection

Before we call it done, we walk the property with you and inspect every pane together. If something's not up to snuff, we'll fix it on the spot. That's the standard we hold ourselves to in San Mateo County.
