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.

Many homeowners don’t realize just how dirty their windows have become—until they see them clean again. 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:

Your home is your most important space, and clean windows help it look and feel its best. Our residential window cleaning is designed to be efficient, thorough, and safe for all home types—from single-story ranches to multi-level estates. We treat your home like it’s our own—removing shoes or wearing covers indoors, protecting floors and furniture, and using safe, eco-conscious products.

Commercial Window Cleaning

We get it—your storefront or office is the first thing people see. If the glass is smudged or streaky, it doesn’t matter how great your products or services are. We work around your busy schedule, whether that means early mornings before the coffee shop opens on Broadway or evenings after the offices in Burlingame clear out. We’re fully insured, so you don’t have to worry about a thing while we’re on-site.

Our commercial window cleaning services are ideal for:

  • Retail storefronts
  • Office buildings
  • Restaurants and cafes

  • HOA and apartment complexes

Our Residential Window Cleaning Process

We've refined our process over years of working on homes across San Mateo County. Here's what you can expect when we show up:

1. Assessment

We'll walk around your property first. If you're on a sloped lot in Taylor Estates, we'll check the best spots to place our ladders for stability. We also look for the telltale chalky white film from Millbrae's hard water, or any buildup from the fog that rolls in most mornings.

2. Prep & Protection

We lay down drop cloths to protect your floors and furniture inside. Outside, we'll cover plants near the foundation—especially if you've got anything delicate by the front walkway. No mess left behind, we promise.

3. Screen & Track Cleaning

We pop out the screens and give them a proper wash, not just a quick spray. For mid-century homes with original aluminum frames, we handle them carefully to avoid scratches. We also clean the tracks and sills—that's where the gritty dust from those eucalyptus trees settles, and it's what most companies skip.

4. Glass Cleaning (Interior & Exterior)

This is where we tackle Millbrae's specific issues. That mineral-rich tap water from the Santa Clara Valley Basin leaves deposits that regular spray can't touch. So we use an acid-based solution on those spots, then follow up with eco-friendly, ammonia-free cleaner and a professional-grade squeegee for a flawless finish. On days when wildfire smoke has settled in from the North Bay, we might need to give your windows an extra rinse first.

5. Final Inspection

Before we wrap up, we walk the property with you and inspect every pane, frame, and sill. If anything doesn't meet your standards, we don't leave until it's right.

How Often Should You Clean Your Windows in San Mateo County?

Honestly, we get asked this a lot—how often should you clean your windows around here? It’s not a one-size-fits-all answer. With the coastal fog rolling in over Millbrae and the mineral-rich tap water leaving that chalky film, your windows might need attention more often than you think. Here’s what we tell our neighbors in San Mateo County:

  • Every 3–6 months if you live near the coast or on a busy street—salt air and car exhaust do a number on glass.
  • Quarterly for storefronts on Broadway or any commercial space—first impressions matter, and passersby notice smudges.
  • Twice a year for most homes, but we'll tweak that based on your specific spot in San Mateo County.
  • Before an open house, a holiday gathering, or when the wildfire season leaves that fine ash on everything.
