Window Cleaning in San Bruno, CA

The eastern side of the city is close to SFO, and like Millbrae next door it picks up the fine, slightly oily film that comes off an airport approach. It does not rinse off in rain the way ordinary dust does, which is why windows can look no better after a storm. Up the hill to the west, toward Skyline College and Skyline Boulevard, the problem changes to fog and damp: glass that stays wet for long stretches, and shaded elevations that grow a green film.

The housing is mostly post war tract homes in neighbourhoods like Rollingwood, Crestmoor, Mills Park, and Portola Highlands. Many still have aluminium framed windows from when they were built, or early replacement units that are now well into middle age. We see a fair number of failed seals in San Bruno, where the fog is inside the double glazing rather than on it, and we will tell you when that is what you are looking at rather than charge you to clean the outside of it.

The hillside streets are steep in places, and a lot of houses have their best glass on a back elevation over a slope. Water fed poles reach most of it from the ground, which is safer and quicker than a ladder on a hill.
