Reliable Service for Homes and Businesses

Berkeley is a city of distinct micro-climates and diverse architecture. From the fog-draped estates in the Berkeley Hills to the sunny, tree-lined streets of Elmwood, maintaining a home here requires specialized care. The heavy tree canopy provides shade but also drops sap, pollen, and debris that can damage your exterior if left unchecked.

At B & B Window and Gutter Cleaning, we understand the unique demands of Berkeley property maintenance. Whether you need to clear gutters for fire safety compliance or restore the original glass in a 1920s Craftsman, our team has the equipment and experience to handle the job safely.

Residential Services for Berkeley Homes

Residential Window Cleaning

Preserving Views and Historic Glass

  • Historic Home Specialists: Berkeley is famous for its Brown Shingles and Craftsman bungalows. We use hand-washing techniques to clean fragile sash windows and leaded glass without damaging the original wood frames or glazing putty.
  • Hillside Access: Many Berkeley homes are perched on steep grades with difficult access. We use specialized ladder levelers and water-fed poles to clean high windows safely, restoring your view of the Bay.
  • Pollen & Sap Removal: The dense oak and redwood canopy in North Berkeley covers windows in sticky sap and pollen. We scrub frames and glass to remove this buildup before it hardens.

Residential Gutter Cleaning

Critical Fire Safety & Drainage.

  • Defensible Space: In the Berkeley Hills, clear gutters are a mandatory part of fire safety. We remove dry leaves, pine needles, and branch debris to help you meet the strict vegetation management standards required by the city and insurance providers.
  • Clog Prevention: We manually remove the heavy, matting debris dropped by Redwood and Eucalyptus trees, ensuring your downspouts flow freely to prevent water damage to your foundation.

Residential Pressure Washing

Restoring Traction and Beauty

The shade from Berkeley’s old-growth trees promotes moss and algae growth on walkways, decks, and stairs. We use eco-friendly pressure washing to remove slippery biological growth, making your north-facing entries safe and welcoming.

Solar Panel Cleaning

Maximize Output Under the Marine Layer

Between the morning fog and the urban dust, solar panels in Berkeley can lose significant efficiency. We gently clean your array with purified water, removing the layer of grime that blocks sunlight and ensuring you get the most out of your green energy investment.

Commercial & HOA Services

We partner with property managers to keep Berkeley’s commercial districts and apartment complexes compliant and clean.

Commercial Window Cleaning

  • High-Rise Specialists (5+ Stories): As Downtown Berkeley grows vertically, so do our capabilities. We are fully certified for Rope Descent Systems (RDS). We adhere to Cal/OSHA Article 5, ensuring safe, legal drops for hotels, office towers, and student housing high-rises.
  • Mid-Rise & Retail: For boutique retail in 4th Street or Elmwood, we provide reliable ground-based cleaning that keeps your storefront sparkling without disrupting foot traffic.

Commercial Gutter Cleaning

We provide routine maintenance for HOAs and apartment buildings, ensuring roof drains and gutters are clear to prevent leaks into tenant units during winter storms.

Commercial Pressure Washing

Keep your property safe and professional

We remove chewing gum, spill stains, and organic growth from sidewalks, courtyards, and parking garages. We use reclamation systems to ensure no wash-water enters the storm drains, keeping the Bay clean.

Post-Construction Cleanup

From ADU additions to commercial renovation, Berkeley is constantly evolving. If you are managing a tenant improvement project downtown or a backyard ADU build, we handle the final exterior detail. We safely remove construction adhesives, paint, and stucco from new glazing without scratching the surface.

Lawrence Diller
Second year we've used them. Reliable and do good work at a reasonable price.
Jennifer Aguilar
We had a great experience with our gutter cleaning. They cleaned the gutters on our two-story home and did a very thorough job. Everything was cleared out properly and they made sure the downspouts were flowing well before leaving. They were professional, efficient, and left the area clean when they finished. It’s not always easy finding reliable service for a two-story house, but they did an excellent job. Highly recommend!
