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.

Tom Bressan
They did a great job deep cleaning some of the clogged gutters, then Rinsing them down to The downspouts making sure that downspouts were also clear They also had a service to clean off the solar panels with water and they scrubbed them. The panels have been collecting dust from a construction project that was done next-door. Hopefully, now there is over. It won’t be so bad before they left. I asked him to look at a spot on the roof that I Thought was the source of leaking in the back of the warehouse. I had a drone operator thoroughly photograph the roof to know what I was up against before I started. I had some seam tape that I asked him to put over a spot and I showed him the picture they did it wasn’t in the scope of work, but it wasn’t hard for them to do while they were there anyhow, but it saved me a lot of time bringing somebody else in. It was as I hoped the cause of the leak and it is now been fixed.

You guys were great! On time, nice as always, showed me pics of my clean gutters— and holy cow you swept up my leaf- covered patio! Thanks so much and see you next year.
Margaret Keelan
This was a very easy and professional company to deal with. The front office was friendly, accessible and communicative. The team arrived promptly worked hard, did a great job and cleaned up completely. My gutters had been neglected for so long, grass was growing out of them! They were cleaned out, and gutter guards were installed. Each step was photographed and shown to me at the end, so I didn’t have to climb up onto the roof to see for myself! Very pleased with the results.
