Want to recommend my neighbor Nathan Cooper (510-847-3047) and his window washing services...He's got 10+ years experience, offers reasonable, per-job rates, provides free estimates...he's careful, trustworthy, and insured. Kate

I found good recommendations for both Squeegee Express at 925-548-4796 and Light Stream Home Services (http://www.lightstreamhome.com/) through BPN's recent archives. So, I called for a quote. Light Stream's owner, Andy, called after two days and said he'd come over the next morning. He never called nor showed up the next day. I called him to see if something had happened - he never called me back. So, I then called Squeegee Express and owner Michael responded right away. He even came by that afternoon to look at our house. He promised a written quote to be emailed to us. After a week of not having received it, I called him and he said he'd get it to us right away saying he had had computer problems. It's now been at least 3 weeks since he came over and we have not received a quote via mail, email nor via FAX (despite several phone calls to him and his promises to send me the quote and that he was in fact interested in the job). I'm really disappointed that two recommendations from BPN went bust. Can anyone recommend someone else?? Thanks

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

I'm lookiing for current recommendations for inside and out window washer for my 4 story residence in Montclair. m.v

I used Squeegee Express to clean our windows, and he did a great job. It was $175 for eight 8' windows on a second floor. 925-548-4796 (updated June 2005) Elizabeth

Can you recommend a good window washer? For five years we had Yes, We Do Windows doing our windows, but the new owner has flaked on four appointments. (He ''lost our address,'' ''overslept,''' and ''had his car towed''; then he promised a half-price discount as an apology, but yesterday he didn't show up again, despite calling me in the morning to say he was on the way.) So now we're looking for a good, *reliable* window washer for a house in Oakland. I've checked the website but the phone numbers seem to be out of date. Looking forward to your recommendations. Thanks. brenda

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
