Window Washers in San Mateo County

Window Washers Who Know San Mateo County's Homes

Let’s be honest — your windows take a beating around here. Between the marine layer rolling in off the Pacific, the salty air from the Bay, and whatever else the wind blows up from SFO, it doesn’t take long for glass to look tired. You look through them every day, so maybe you’ve stopped noticing the haze. But step outside and take a real look — that film on the glass? That’s not just dust.

We’re Fox Window & Gutter Cleaning, and we’ve been the window washers San Mateo County homeowners trust for nearly two decades. We handle the hard water spots, the stubborn grime, and the spots you can’t reach — leaving your windows so clear you’ll forget the frame exists. Inside and out, streak-free, every time.

Why Clean Windows Matter in This Climate

Here’s the thing about Millbrae and the rest of San Mateo County — our weather is beautiful, but it’s rough on glass. The fog brings moisture that clings to windows, and when that dries, it leaves behind mineral deposits from our hard water. That chalky white residue? That’s what we’re up against. And if you’re west of El Camino Real, the salty air from the Bay accelerates corrosion on frames and screens faster than you’d think.

We hear it all the time: “I didn’t realize how bad they’d gotten until you cleaned them.” That’s the moment we love. Clean windows do more than look good — they let in the natural light that makes our homes feel brighter, they cut down on allergens trapped in dust and pollen, and they help your windows and seals last longer. When you live in a place this beautiful, you deserve to actually see it through your own windows.

When you hire us, you get:

  • More natural sunlight flooding your rooms — no more dim, hazy glass
  • A brighter, more inviting space that just feels better to be in
  • Less dust and pollen clinging to your window sills and tracks
  • Protection for your window seals and frames — especially important with our salt air
  • Better curb appeal that shows when it's time to sell

Window Washers Who Understand Millbrae's Homes

You know what’s funny? People think window washing is window washing. But if you live in the Taylor Estates or Lomita Park neighborhoods, you know different. Those mid-century ranch homes and split-levels from the 50s and 70s? They’ve got original aluminum-frame windows that need careful handling. And the sloped lots around here? We’ve got ladder stabilization techniques down to a science — we’ve been working these hills for years.

We treat your home like it’s our own. Shoes off or boot covers on, floors and furniture protected, and eco-conscious products that won’t harm your landscaping or your family. Whether you’ve got a single-story ranch in Millbrae or a multi-level place up in the Hillsborough hills, we’ll handle it safely and thoroughly. And if you’ve got one of those classic downtown Broadway buildings with second-story units and old double-hung windows — don’t worry, we’ve dealt with plenty of sash cord situations before.

We Clean All Of It:

  • Interior and exterior window glass — every pane, both sides
  • Skylights and solar tubes (and nobody enjoys cleaning those — we do)
  • Sliding glass doors and French panes, including the tracks
  • Screens, sills, and tracks — the spots most people forget
  • Hard-to-reach or second-story windows that you really shouldn't be tackling yourself
  • Post-construction or move-in windows

Our Window Washing Process

We've refined our process over years of working on homes and businesses throughout San Mateo County. Here's what you can expect when you book us:

1. Assessment

First, we walk the property. We look at everything—how many panes, what's reachable, and what's tricky. We're checking for hard water spots, which are everywhere in Millbrae due to the mineral-rich groundwater. And if you're in the hills near Taylor Estates, we'll note the slope and plan how to stabilize our ladders properly.

2. Prep & Protection

We lay down drop cloths and protect your floors, furniture, and plants. If you've got a driveway or patio below, we're careful about runoff too—especially in the Green Hills area where older sewer mains can back up easily. We don't want to leave a mess, and we don't.

3. Screen & Track Cleaning

Here's something most window washers skip: we pull out every screen and clean it with a soft brush and solution. Then we vacuum and wipe down the tracks and sills. If you live on a street lined with eucalyptus trees—and let's be honest, that's half of Millbrae—we pay extra attention here because that sticky sap and pine needles love to hide in the tracks.

4. Glass Cleaning (Interior & Exterior)

We use eco-friendly, ammonia-free solutions that actually cut through the grime. For many homes west of El Camino Real, that means dealing with salt residue from the Bay breeze near SFO. And if you've noticed a chalky white film on your glass—that's hard water, and it doesn't come off with just soap and water. We've got the right products for that.

5. Final Inspection

Before we wrap up, we walk the property with you and inspect every pane, track, and screen together. If something doesn't look right, we don't leave until it does. Simple as that.

Types of Windows We Clean

How Often Should You Clean Your Windows?

Honestly, our customers in San Mateo County ask us this all the time. The truth is, there’s no single right answer. It really depends on where you live, what’s happening around your home, and how much you care about that sparkle.

Here’s what we’ve found works best for our clients in Millbrae and the surrounding neighborhoods:

  • Every 3–6 months if you're west of El Camino Real—that Bay air and the marine layer can do a number on your glass.
  • Quarterly for storefronts on Broadway or any business space—first impressions matter, and you don't want streaky windows scaring off customers.
  • Twice a year is our standard suggestion for most homes. Once after the rainy season ends in spring to wash away all that residue, and once in late fall before the fog really settles in.
  • Right before you list your home or host a big event. You'd be surprised what a difference clean windows make when the light hits them just right.
