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:

Post Construction Window Cleaning

If you’ve just finished a remodel or moved into a newly built home in San Mateo County, you know the drill: dust, paint splatters, and adhesive residue are everywhere. Your windows? They’re the worst. Post-construction window cleaning isn’t just about wiping glass—it’s about getting rid of that fine layer of drywall dust that seems to cling to everything, the tiny paint flecks on the sills, and those stubborn stickers that contractors leave behind. We’ve seen it all, from the new builds popping up near downtown Millbrae to the reno projects in the Taylor Estates. Our team knows exactly how to get your windows looking like the construction crew was never there.

Our post-construction window cleaning is perfect for:

  • New home constructions in Millbrae and surrounding areas
  • Remodels and renovations—kitchens, bathrooms, or whole-house
  • Move-in-ready homes where the builder's cleaning just wasn't enough
  • Commercial spaces after tenant improvements or office build-outs
  • HOA common areas after exterior painting or siding replacement

Our Post Construction Window Cleaning Process

We don't just spray and wipe. Post-construction windows need a methodical approach—here's how we handle it:

1. Assessment

First, we walk the property. For a new build in Lomita Park, that might mean checking for paint overspray on aluminum frames. For a remodel in older Millbrae homes, we're looking for that dried-on caulk or putty that's baked into the glass. We note every trouble spot—hard water spots from the sprinklers, that film of construction dust on the inside, or the sticky residue from protective vinyl.

2. Prep & Protection

Before we touch a pane, we lay down drop cloths and protect your floors—especially if you've just installed new hardwood or carpet. We also cover any landscaping that's near the exterior work area. And since many Millbrae homes are on sloped lots, we take extra care stabilizing our ladders on uneven ground. No surprises, no mess left behind.

3. Screen & Track Cleaning

Here's where a lot of companies cut corners—they just wipe the glass and go. We pull out your screens, gently brush off the construction dust, and rinse them down. Then we vacuum the tracks and wipe the sills. In Millbrae, where the marine layer brings extra moisture, we make sure those tracks are dry so you don't get mildew starting before you even move in.

4. Glass Cleaning (Interior & Exterior)

For the glass itself, we use an eco-friendly, ammonia-free solution that cuts through construction grime without harming your frames or the environment. We tackle those hard water spots with a gentle acid-based cleaner—especially on the west side of El Camino Real, where the salty air from the Bay and SFO makes spotting worse. Then we finish with a professional-grade squeegee for a streak-free shine that'll make you wonder if the glass is even there.

5. Final Inspection

Before we wrap up, we walk every window with you, checking the results together. If something's missed or a smudge lingers, we're right there to fix it on the spot. That's our promise.

Types of Windows We Clean After Construction

New build or major remodel? You’ve got enough on your plate without staring at dusty glass. We’ll make every window in your San Mateo County home or business shine—whether that’s 10 windows or 100. We’ve handled everything from single-story tract homes in Millbrae to sprawling hillside properties in Hillsborough. Our crew is trained and equipped to safely clean a wide range of window styles and configurations, including:

We Clean:

  • Double-hung windows — the classic, with both sashes moving. We get every corner, even after construction dust settles deep in the tracks.
  • Sliding and casement windows — smooth operation matters. We clean the glass and the rollers so they slide like new.
  • Bay and bow windows — those angled panes catch light and dust. We clean each facet, inside and out, without leaving streaks.
  • Skylights and transom windows — hard to reach? We've got the ladders and the know-how. Even the high ones get a thorough scrub.
  • French panes and divided lights — those little muntins take patience, and we've got plenty. We clean each pane individually.
  • Glass railing panels — modern decks and balconies look better with clear rails. We'll remove that construction film and leftover sealant residue.
  • Custom architectural glass — from clerestory windows to curved panels, we treat each piece with care. We'll bring out the design's intent.

What’s Included in Every Post-Construction Window Cleaning Appointment?

We leave your windows looking spotless, bright, and professionally finished—every time. After a renovation, that’s not a luxury; it’s a necessity. The dust, paint spatter, and sealant residue can ruin the view and even etch the glass if left too long. When you book with Fox Window & Gutter Cleaning for post-construction window cleaning in San Mateo County, here’s what you can count on:

  • Full inspection of windows and screens — we check for chips, cracks, or any leftover adhesive from construction tape.
  • Interior and exterior cleaning — we tackle both sides, so you're not staring at smudges when you look out at the Bay.
  • Track and sill wipe-down — sawdust and drywall dust love to hide here. We get it all out, so your windows slide smoothly.
  • Screen removal, wash, and reinstallation — we don't just dust them off. We rinse away the construction grime and put them back snug.
  • Streak-free glass finishing — that final wipe-down that makes the glass look invisible. We use eco-friendly solutions that cut through hard water and mineral residue.
  • Friendly service and satisfaction guarantee — we'll walk the property with you after we're done. If anything's not perfect, we'll stay until it is.

How Often Should You Schedule Post-Construction Window Cleaning?

Honestly, figuring out how often to get post construction window cleaning in San Mateo County can feel like a guessing game. But here’s the thing: after a remodel, new build, or even a major renovation, your windows are carrying more than just dust. They’ve got paint overspray, drywall dust, and that fine film of construction grime that seems to settle into every corner of the glass.

So, how often should you schedule us? It really depends on your home, your lifestyle, and what you’re dealing with. Here’s our general recommendation for post construction window cleaning in San Mateo County, CA:

If you’re in a coastal spot like Millbrae or Burlingame, where the marine layer and salty air from the Bay mix with leftover construction residue, we suggest every 3–6 months. That moisture loves to cling to any tiny speck of dust or film, turning it into stubborn spots that are a pain to remove later. If you want more tailored advice, contact us and we can help you figure out the right schedule.

For businesses or storefronts—especially those along Broadway in downtown Millbrae—quarterly cleanings keep your windows looking sharp and welcoming. One dirty window can make the whole place feel off. And twice a year is plenty for standard home maintenance once the initial deep clean is done.

And let’s not forget the big moments—listing your home, hosting a special event, or just wanting everything to feel fresh after a long rainy season. We’ll time a visit for those transitions so you’re always putting your best face forward. We’re Fox Window & Gutter Cleaning, and we’re here to help.

  • Every 3–6 months for homes in coastal or high-traffic areas—like those near SFO or west of El Camino Real in Millbrae, where salty air and construction dust mix.
  • Quarterly for businesses or storefronts—especially along Broadway or in downtown San Mateo, where first impressions matter.
  • Twice per year for standard home maintenance once the post-construction residue is gone.
  • Before special events, home listings, or seasonal transitions—like before the leaves fall in Green Hills or when the rains start in November.
