Interior & Exterior Window Cleaning in San Mateo County, CA

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

Let’s be honest—windows are the eyes of your home. They let in that soft morning light over the Bay, frame the hills of Millbrae, and make your place feel open and alive. But when they’re streaked with hard water spots or coated in that fine ash from wildfire season, they just look tired. It drags down the whole feel of the place.

That’s where we come in. Fox Window & Gutter Cleaning has spent nearly two decades working across San Mateo County. We handle interior & exterior window cleaning for homes and businesses, and we get the job done right— streak-free, spotless, and shining. No shortcuts, no missed spots. Just clean glass that makes you go, “Oh, that’s what my view is supposed to look like.”

Why Clean Windows Matter Around Here

You know that chalky white film on your glass? That’s not normal dust—it’s hard water. Millbrae’s water comes from the Santa Clara Valley Basin, and it’s loaded with minerals. That residue builds up fast, especially when the marine layer rolls in from the Pacific and leaves everything damp. And when the fog finally burns off mid-morning, those minerals bake right into the glass.

Then there’s the salt. Being this close to the Bay and SFO means the air has a bite to it, especially west of El Camino Real. It corrodes frames, pits the glass, and makes seals fail sooner than they should. Regular interior & exterior window cleaning isn’t just about looks—it’s about protecting your investment and keeping your windows functional for years longer.

Get Your Windows Sparkling Clean

Our interior & exterior window cleaning helps you:

  • Let more natural light into your space without the haze
  • Improve your mood and how your home feels, day in and day out
  • Cut down on allergens like pollen and dust that cling to dirty sills and tracks
  • Protect your window seals and frames from salt air and mineral damage
  • Boost your curb appeal—whether you're selling or just proud of your place

Interior & Exterior Window Cleaning for Your Home

We know Millbrae’s housing stock pretty well by now—all those mid-century ranches and split-levels from the ’50s, ’60s, and ’70s. They’re charming, but they came with original aluminum-frame windows that need a delicate touch. Push too hard on the glass or use the wrong cleaner, and you’ll scratch them or worse, warp the frame.

We also genuinely enjoy working in the Taylor Estates and Lomita Park neighborhoods, where homes sit on sloped lots. It keeps us on our toes—we stabilize our ladders properly, use standoffs to protect the siding, and make sure we’re not slipping on damp eucalyptus leaves while we work. Inside, we’re just as careful. Shoes come off or covers go on. Floors and furniture stay protected. And those sticky pine needles from the trees that hug your house? We rinse them off so they don’t scratch the glass when we wipe it down.

Here’s what we mean by “thorough”—we don’t just hit the big panes and call it done. We get into the tracks, wipe down the sills, and treat the screens. That’s part of the service. Many homes in San Bruno and Burlingame have similar setups, so we’re always moving between cities and know what to expect.

Here's What We Clean:

  • Interior and exterior window glass—every pane, every time
  • Skylights and solar tubes, which we know collect a surprising amount of Bay Area grime
  • Sliding glass doors and French panes, for the rooms opening onto your patio
  • Screens, sills, and tracks—we get the dust and spider webs out of the nooks
  • Hard-to-reach second-story windows, and the occasional downtown Broadway unit with those classic double-hung windows
  • Post-construction or move-in windows—we handle the mess so you don't have to

Commercial Window Cleaning in San Mateo County

First impressions matter, especially when your storefront sits along Broadway in Millbrae or the main drags in Burlingame and San Bruno. We’ve seen it a thousand times—a busy restaurant or retail shop with windows that haven’t seen a proper cleaning in months. The haze builds up slowly, so you don’t always notice it. But your customers do. We’ll make sure your glass looks sharp, whether it’s a single-pane display or a multi-story office building near the 101. We schedule around your business hours because we get it—you can’t just close shop for a few hours on a Tuesday. And yeah, we’re fully insured, so you don’t have to worry about a thing.

Our commercial window cleaning services are perfect for:

  • Retail storefronts along El Camino Real and downtown strips
  • Office buildings in San Mateo and Foster City
  • Restaurants and cafes where every detail counts
  • Medical clinics and professional offices in Hillsborough or San Carlos
  • HOA and apartment complexes across San Mateo County

Our Window Cleaning Process

We don't cut corners. Here's exactly how we get your windows streak-free and how we keep them that way:

1. Assessment

Every job starts with a quick walkthrough. We check the number, size, and accessibility of your windows and note any trouble spots like hard water residue from Millbrae's mineral-heavy tap water or oxidation on older frames. If you're in the Taylor Estates area with those sloped lots, we'll also figure out the safest approach for our ladders.

2. Prep & Protection

We protect your flooring, furniture, and landscaping as needed. That's especially important for homes in Lomita Park where the garden beds sit right against the foundation. Our team's respectful of your space and always takes care not to leave a mess behind—no muddy footprints on your carpets, no crushed plants in your flower beds.

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, those tracks collect more than dust. Between the eucalyptus sap that drifts in from nearby trees and the fine grit from coastal fog, your tracks can get pretty gnarly. We get all of it out, not just the stuff you can see.

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. For those stubborn hard water spots—and trust us, they're everywhere in Millbrae—we use specialized techniques that break down the mineral deposits without scratching your glass. And if you've got older aluminum-frame windows from the 1950s or 60s, we're extra careful around those frames so we don't damage the seals.

5. Final Inspection

Before we wrap up, we inspect each window with you to ensure the results meet (or exceed) your expectations.

How Often Should You Clean Your Windows?

Honestly, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. It depends on your home’s exposure, how much time you spend looking out the windows, and what your schedule allows. But here’s our general recommendation—and we’ve fine-tuned this after years of working across San Mateo County, CA, where the coastal fog and hard water tend to keep things interesting.

  • Every 3–6 months for homes in coastal or high-traffic areas—especially if you're near the water in Burlingame or Hillsborough, where salt air builds up fast.
  • Quarterly for businesses or storefronts—your windows are your first impression, and in downtown Millbrae along Broadway, that matters a lot.
  • Twice per year for standard home maintenance—if you're on a typical mid-century ranch in Lomita Park or Taylor Estates, this keeps the mineral deposits from becoming a real chore.
  • Before special events, home listings, or seasonal transitions—like when those summer wildfires roll smoke into the Bay Area and dust settles on everything.
