Oakland is a city of diverse terrain and architecture. From the classic Craftsman bungalows of Rockridge to the modern estates in Montclair, every home here faces unique environmental challenges.

At B & B Window and Gutter Cleaning, we provide professional, reliable service for both residential and commercial properties. Whether you need to clear your gutters for fire compliance or restore the sparkle to a downtown high-rise, our local team has the certifications and experience to get the job done right.

Residential Services for Oakland Homes

Residential Window Cleaning

Protecting Historic Charm and Modern Views

  • Historic Home Care: We specialize in cleaning the delicate sash windows and leaded glass found in Oakland’s Victorian and Craftsman homes. We use hand-washing techniques to protect fragile frames and glazing.
  • Hillside Specialists: Many Oakland homes are built on steep grades. Our team uses specialized ladders and water-fed poles to safely reach high windows that other companies physically cannot access.
  • Pure Water Finish: We use purified water to cut through marine haze and urban dust, leaving your glass spot-free and shining.

Residential Gutter Cleaning

Critical Fire Safety & Drainage

  • Fire Season Prep: For residents in the Oakland Hills, keeping gutters free of dry leaves and pine needles is a critical part of defensible space. We help you meet vegetation management standards.
  • Eucalyptus Debris: We handle the heavy, oily debris from Eucalyptus and Redwood trees, which create stubborn clogs that standard blowers often miss.
  • Downspout Flushing: We ensure your entire system is flowing freely to prevent water from pooling around your foundation during atmospheric rivers.

Residential Pressure Washing

Safety for Shaded Entries

Oakland’s foggy mornings can lead to moss growth on walkways and stairs. We use safe pressure washing methods to remove slippery algae from north-facing steps, patios, and driveways, restoring traction and brightness.

Solar Panel Cleaning

Boost Efficiency in the City

Don’t let city grime reduce your energy output. Dust, pollen, and soot can block sunlight and lower your solar efficiency. We gently scrub your panels with soft brushes and pure water to maximize your system’s performance.

Commercial & HOA Services

We partner with property managers to keep Oakland’s commercial skyline and storefronts inviting and safe.

Commercial Window Cleaning

  • High-Rise Specialists (5+ Stories): We are fully certified for Rope Descent Systems (RDS) and chair work. If you manage a high-rise in Downtown Oakland or Lake Merritt, we have the training to inspect anchors and descend safely, fully compliant with Cal/OSHA Article 5.
  • Mid-Rise & Retail: From storefronts on Grand Ave to mid-rise office buildings, we provide reliable scheduling and spotless results using ground-based water-fed pole systems.

Commercial Gutter Cleaning

We provide routine maintenance for HOAs and apartment complexes, ensuring that gutters are clear to prevent overflow liability and water damage to tenant units.

Commercial Pressure Washing

Keep your property safe and welcoming

We remove urban grime, chewing gum, and slippery moss from sidewalks, parking garages, and common areas. We use eco-friendly reclamation systems to keep pollutants out of the Bay.

Post-Construction Cleanup

The Final Step in Urban Renewal

Oakland’s skyline changes every year. Whether you are managing a high-rise retrofit or a residential remodel, we are the final step in the construction process. We safely remove paint splatter, stucco, and construction adhesives from new windows, ensuring your project is sparkling clean for the final walkthrough.

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.

Yes. We are equipped with leg-levelers and safety gear specifically for hillside properties. We can safely clean windows and gutters on homes with steep driveways or multi-story drops.

Absolutely. We thoroughly remove all flammable debris (pine needles, dry leaves) from your roofline and gutters. This is a critical step in creating “defensible space” and meeting the vegetation management standards required by the city and insurance providers.

Never. High pressure can force water into old walls and damage wood siding. We use a gentle, low-pressure wash (Soft Wash) and hand-cleaning methods to safely restore historic homes without risking damage.
