  • Looking for window cleaner

    Jun 15, 2023

    Looking for a window cleaner for my one story house in Berkeley. Any recommendations?

    I recently had my windows cleaned by Amir Compton at ADC Window Washers (510)434-4307.  He was great to work with, on time, responsive, licensed and insured, and did a fantastic job.   Highly recommend!

    We just had Amir from ADC Window Washers come out and do our windows in Berkeley.  He was very responsive, punctual and thorough. You can reach him at adcwindowwashers [at] gmail.com or 510-434-4307

  • My wonder go-to guy for window and gutter cleaning is MIA.  Recommendations for someone who does either or both would be much appreciated. 

    I have used Light Stream. They are great. I think the owner Andy Brown is local. Maybe Albany or El Cerrito?

    We recently had a great experience with Luis Mora, who did both windows & gutter cleaning. He was super responsive & professional. l.windowwash [at] yahoo.com 

    We used Sunshine Gutters for the past few years and have been happy with them. 

  • Any current recommendations?

    We just had Luis Mora come do our window washing & gutter cleaning. He was super responsive and professional: l.windowwash [at] yahoo.com 

    The person you want is named Steve and he's the owner of Clean Z Rest in Alameda. He has washed our windows many times over the years, and I'm always really happy at his job AND at the price. He's also a nice guy. Call Steve at (510) 385-1826.

    I've used A1 gutter and window cleaning for a few years. They have been reliable and very good. I use them both for gutters and windows. 

  • Window Cleaner Needed

    Oct 7, 2020

    I am seeking a professional cleaner as my windows and skylights are covered with a patina of ash from the smoke we have all endured.  Recommendations of companies you have recently hired would be hugely appreciated.  

    I highly recommend Luis Mora. He is meticulous, very pleasant to be around, reasonably priced:  the best window cleaner I have ever used. His phone: (925) 812-3620; email: l.windowwash [at] yahoo.com.

    I need a reliable home window washer., not a big  company who does high rises!    Any suggestions?  

    I have used Mark Merriweather (510) 682-8290. He’s a one man job. He was reliable and did a good job. Note that to clean windows he has to come inside your house for a few hours. I went out to run errands while he was cleaning by himself and felt comfortable doing so. He was recommended by a friend who is a realtor and uses Mark to clean the windows of the houses he shows.

The archives are pretty old - we need our windows washed and, hopefully at the same time, gutters cleaned. Thanks for some new recommendations! Looking for Lightness


Lightstream! Good work, good people, and easy to have around and in the house. They do windows and gutters. We've been happy customers for many years. Contact information for Andrew Brown at www.lightstreamhome.com. Ricki


I can recommend the service I have been using at my Kensington home for the past 3 years: B Windows and Gutters - website: http://www.bandbwg.com/ They are fast and efficient, do a fabulous job, are reasonably priced (I comparison shopped before hiring them) and are really friendly - once I started using them, I have not considered calling anyone else. Feel free to contact me if you would like any additional information. Dawn


Give the people at Mr Sparkle a call and you will be happy you did. On time, thorough and clear windows for a reasonable price. 510-504-7048. Roger


You can contact Juan 'Cesar' Rodriguez at 510-325-4056. He works for a high rise window washing company in the morning but does private residencies in the afternoons and weekends. His prices are lower than most companies and he can generally do the work the same day he comes to do the estimate. Cesar seems to work anywhere from Concord to San Mateo. My friend recently had her windows cleaned in Noe Valley and when her daughter came home, she asked, 'Mom, how come the windows are open?'! Good luck! Morganne


Mr. Sparkle is great in every way. [We Love Washing Windows did a 'bait and switch' on me. Stay away.] Twinkle

Day after day, I 'promise' myself I'll make time to wash our windows. Time and again, I'll wash our windows 'tomorrow' or 'next week.' It seems, now, I will be 'planning' to wash our windows 'forever,' so we need to find a different way to get our windows clean. We'd like to hire a nice person to wash the windows of our home. Our home has about sixty double-hung windows. All our double-hung windows tip in for easy cleaning, some have screens that need to be taken out and washed, and all of the windowsills (inside and outside) need to be washed-off. We have a zillion rags and ladders and buckets and ... This is not a difficult job and no heavy lifting is needed, but it will take flexibility, focus, and stick-to-it attention. Anne


Call Dylan Kelly at Mr. Sparkle 510-504-7048 Fast, courteous, clean, affordable. And a great guy with great crews. CJ


We just had our windows washed (inside/out plus screens) by Alexis at Five or Free Window Cleaning. Has was soooo polite and was absolutey prompt for both the estimate and cleaning. The number is 510-418-0856. Last year we had our windows cleaned by Mr. Sparkle who was also excellent. I tried Alexis this year because his price was a little less. I can happily recommend both companies. seeing clearly now


You should call Ben at Squeeky Windows. He and his crew do a fantastic job. They are nice, reliable, and really good. I highly recommend them: 510-531-8138


I used We Love Window Washing. Rigo came to my home to give an estimate first, then later returned once I gave him the thumbs up. My windows were sparkling! He even swept off my porch light. Sometimes you can find a discount on Groupon or Yelp. Highly recommend. Laurel

I am looking for a window washer to do our windows in our small-ish house in preparation for a party. We are located in El Cerrito on the Albany / Kensington border in the Memorial Park area. If you have any recommendations or suggestions, I would appreciate them. Thanks!


http://www.mrsparkle.biz/ awesome, they did my parents house. Juliet


Just last month, after getting a few bids I felt confident that the best deal was with Mr. Sparkle. Little did I know that they would do such an excellent job. The few concerns I had were quickly, thoroughly and extremely pleasantly responded to by principal, Dylan Kelly, who went well beyond necessary to make his customer happy. I was also surprised by what a difference clean windows make. Mr. Sparkle also does pressure washing, gutter cleaning, awning cleaning and installation of smoke detectors. 510-504-7048 www.mrsparkle.biz Ruth

We're looking for a window washer for our home. Exterior house cleaning would be a plus. Any recommendations? Thanks! Jason


You need not look any farther than Mr. Sparkle http://www.mrsparkle.biz/ The owner, Dylan, is a great guy easy to work with and flexible. He gave me a quote after checking out the house on the outside, and stuck to it. There were 3 guys who came to our place (about 1000 sqft but with a lot of windows) and they were out of here in no time. The windows have never looked so good and it was painless for me. They did such a good job I had him strap our water heater properly too. Absolutely call him. You won't be disappointed. Claire

Hi, does anyone have a recommendation for a company that washes windows? I'd love to get a reference from someone who had a good experience with work on their two-story house. thank you! Lisa


I've used Mr Sparkle for window cleaning and was very happy with the results. They were efficient, came when they said they would and seemed to charge a fair rate. 510-504-7048. I can see clearly now


Many of the houses that go on the market in these parts can thank Dylan aka Mr. Sparkle for their sparkling windows. He also straps water heaters. 504-7048 heidi

I don't know what area you are in, but there is a company that I have used (I am a personal assistant to a family in Mill Valley) called Streakless. They may be local to Marin, I am not sure. Greg and his partner work cleanly, (you'd never know they had been there but for the sparkling windows and skylights!), quickly, and courteously. Greg responds to phone calls in a timely manner, and if he doesn't he is the first to apologize and try to make it right. The customer truely does come first with him! They also do rain gutters at a reasonable price. (And they rewind the garden hose and sweep up any debris!)


We have used Excellent Window Cleaners for about 5 years now and I can't speak more highly about how professional and thorough they are. They also do carpets and their carpet guy, Francisco, is one of the best (and nicest) guys out there. 510-540-6377 Good Luck! Laurie


I was looking for someone to wash my mini-blinds. I called Rudy Torres who does business as Bay Blind Cleaners. I had him wash my first story windows, too, inside and out. I thought he did an excellent job of cleaning both the blinds and the windows. He was also prompt, friendly and very professional. His number is 510-887-2003. nbs

Hi -- I'm the person who needed a window washer for her 2 story home in Claremont -- since I was under a time crunch, I went ahead and did a web search and found Light Stream Home Services (http://www.lightstreamhome.com/) Toll Free Phone: (866) 486-8222 Office Phone:(510) 559-8222. I'd like to recommend them, now that they've done all my windows. They came to my house within a week, and cleaned all my windows, inside and out, and cleaned the ledges as well. The windows are now sparkling clean. The staff and proprietor, Andy, are polite and careful people. I highly recommend them. Anonymous

Hi, I tried many of the previous recommendations for Window Washers -- only to find that the recommendations were old enough to point to phone numbers that have been disconnected. Can someone recommend a professional window washer or window washing service to clean all the windows of my 2 story home in the Claremont?


Looking for a great window washing service for our house in Rockridge. The two I have used from previous posts in the archives are now out of business! Anyone use someone you were happy with recently? N

We are looking for a good and affordable window washing service for the outside windows of our two storey home. - bella


We highly recommend George Silva of Professional Window Cleaner to wash windows. He's efficient, thorough and very reasonable. He only charged about $90 for all the windows (inside and out) in our 3 bedroom house. Afterward it looked like there was no glass separating the indoors and out. His number is(650) 348-8732. - H.


I highly recommend Bay Blind Cleaners, owned by Rudy Torres. I first called him about cleaning my blinds. I was very pleased with his work, and later had him wash windows, upstairs and downstairs, inside and outside. He was very responsible and easy to work with. I think his prices are as good as any you will find. Call Rudy at 510-887-2003. Nancy

Looking for a reputable area window washer to wash just the outside of all my house windows in Rockridge. Our house is about 100 years old and so are most of the window panes (i.e. A couple have small cracks). Not sure if really old panes make for a difference in how they clean them...? Any company recommendations are appreciated. Nicole


we use Windowsmith. They do a very thorough job, and are prompt and polite. They are probably toward the high-end in price, but I don't really know as I haven't compared prices in a couple of years. You can find their number in the yellow pages. Lisa


Hi Nicole, I suggest that you contact my son Myles. He has had a lot of experience dealing with old small windows as our old family property in England, that he worked on, was from 400 years old. He can be contacted at myles_morson AT hotmail.com or via my e-mail. Regards, Jane
