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&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!

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.

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!

awesome, they did my parents house.

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

Does anyone know of a great and reliable window cleaner in
the N. Berkeley area for regular window cleaning? Thank you!

Hi Madeliene,
I met Andrew Brown a couple of years ago - he is awesome and
reliable and his guys are great as well. He has also done
some rather amazing gutter work.
He is Andrew Brown at http://lightstreamhome.com

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

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.

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

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!

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.

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

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)

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

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.

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.

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
