“We’re on Versailles Avenue near Franklin Elementary. Our windows face west, so the afternoon sun shows every single water spot and smear. SpotFree came out, used their ladderless pole system, and the result was unbelievable—no streaks, no spots, and they even cleaned our solar tubes! The spotfree guarantee gave us peace of mind, but we didn’t need it. This is our new annual service.”
“I’m a real estate agent, so I see a lot of window cleaning jobs. SpotFree is head and shoulders above the rest. They cleaned our 1905 Victorian on San Jose Avenue—original wavy glass, very delicate. They didn’t use harsh squeegees; they used pure water and soft brushes. The glass looks historic but absolutely clear. And they showed up exactly when they said they would.”
“After trying two other local companies that left soap residue on our new Andersen windows, I found SpotFree. Their pure‑water system is a game‑changer. No chemicals, no drips on our newly painted deck. They even noticed a leaky window seal and pointed it out before it caused rot. That’s the kind of neighborly expertise I appreciate.”

Your family’s health, your home’s curb appeal, and your limited free time all matter to us. We know that Alameda homeowners take pride in their properties—from the classic bungalows of the Gold Coast to the modern townhomes near Alameda Landing. Yet window cleaning is often overlooked until the grime becomes impossible to ignore.
We approach your home with the same care we’d use for our own. Our technicians wear boot covers, lay down drop cloths, and never track dirt inside. We move furniture slightly—not roughly—and replace everything exactly as we found it. The result? You come home to windows so clear they almost disappear, letting in more natural light and giving you that “fresh, clean” feeling throughout your house.
We’ve cleaned hundreds of Alameda houses, from the historic Victorians with original wavy glass to new constructions with triple‑pane energy windows. Along the way, we’ve learned exactly what local homeowners need.
Those white, crusty deposits on lower panes are minerals from irrigation water that have baked on in the Alameda sun. Soap won’t touch them. We use a specialized, non‑abrasive mineral remover that restores the glass without scratching. (We also offer a sprinkler head adjustment check—just ask while making your booking)
Homes near the water get a fine, sticky film that attracts dust and pollen. Our pure‑water system cuts through salt residue effortlessly, leaving crystal‑clear glass that stays cleaner longer.
Yes, we clean skylights, including those in vaulted ceilings. Using our long‑reach poles and soft brushes, we can access them safely from the floor—no scaffolding needed.
While we focus on the glass, we’ll also vacuum out your sliding door tracks and wipe down the frames. It’s a small extra that makes a big difference in how smoothly your doors slide.
We remove your screens, gently wash them with a soft brush and pure water, and reinstall them after the glass is dry. This prevents the “clean glass, dirty screen” look that plagues so many homes.
Thousands of neighbors across the East Bay trust SpotFree Window to deliver the cleanest, clearest glass they’ve ever seen. Don’t settle for water spots, streaks, or the hassle of DIY ladder balancing. Get your exact price in an business hour—no sales pitch, no hidden fees. Then sit back, relax, and look forward to a home that shines inside and out.
For most Alameda homes, we recommend exterior cleaning every 2–4 months. Why? The marine layer (fog) carries salts and particulates that cling to glass, and our mild winters still allow dust and pollen buildup. Quarterly cleaning prevents hard water spots from sprinklers and keeps your home looking freshly maintained. Interior windows can be done once or twice a year, typically in spring and fall. Our data from 5000+ East Bay, CA homeowners shows that homes cleaned every three months have 70% less glass etching from mineral deposits than those cleaned annually.
Yes. Any homeowner who enrolls in our quarterly, bi‑monthly, or annual maintenance plan saves something on our standard one‑time rates. Plus, you get priority scheduling around holidays and a dedicated customer portal to skip, reschedule, or add services (like screen repair). Many Alameda families use our “spring refresh + fall deep clean” plan for interior/exterior and then a quick exterior‑only mid‑summer and mid‑winter. Ask about it when you “Book Your Call” with us.
Traditional methods use dish soap or commercial detergents that leave a microscopic film. That film actually attracts new dirt faster. Squeegees, even rubber ones, can drag grit across glass, causing micro‑scratches that become visible over time. Our pure‑water system filters tap water to 0 parts per million (PPM) of dissolved solids. This “hungry” water bonds with dirt and rinses away naturally, leaving zero residue. You get a cleaner, longer‑lasting shine with zero chemicals on your landscaping or windowsills. For Alameda homes near gardens or with kids, it’s the safer, smarter choice.
Absolutely. For interior glass, we use a modified pure‑water system with microfiber applicators and collection sleeves—never a dripping bucket. We lay down canvas drop cloths and use ladder stabilizers that don’t mar your hardwood floors or baseboards. For second‑story interior windows, we use the same ground‑based poles (from outside) to clean the exterior, but interiors are done by hand with extreme care. We also wipe down sills and tracks as a standard courtesy.
This is our specialty. Many Alameda sprinklers hit lower windows, leaving white, crusty mineral deposits. Over time, those minerals can etch the glass permanently. We use a gentle, pH‑balanced mineral dissolver (not acid, which can damage seals) applied with a soft brush. After a short dwell time, we rinse with pure water. For severe cases (untreated for years), we may recommend progressive cleaning over two visits to avoid thermal shock to the glass. We also offer—sprinkler heads adjustment, just ask for it while booking your call with us—fixing that alone solves 80% of future hard water problems.
Yes, 100%. Every SpotFree technician undergoes a nationwide criminal background check, a DMV check (for our marked vehicles), and ongoing safety training. We carry $1 million in general liability insurance and workers’ compensation. We provide certificates of insurance to any Alameda HOA or homeowner upon request. You’ll never have an unvetted stranger on your property.
Yes. We cover every corner of Alameda: East End, West End, Gold Coast, South Shore, Bay Farm Island, Harbor Bay Isle, Alameda Landing, and the Estuary waterfront. No hassle for travel within the 94501 or 94502 zip codes.
We love historic homes. Our pure‑water, soft‑brush method is actually safer for old wavy glass and fragile window putty than traditional squeegees, which can dislodge loose glazing. We also avoid any pressure washing near your original wood siding. We’ve cleaned dozens of homes in the Gold Coast and Lum neighborhoods. That said, we always do a pre‑walkthrough to identify any loose panes or failing seals—we’ll note them for you, no obligation to repair.
Rain in Alameda is usually light and intermittent. Our pure‑water cleaning leaves no residue, so rain simply sheets off clean glass without leaving new water spots (unless it’s a downpour that splashes mud). However, if we finish a job and if you find a spot, streak, or smudge, before finishing up & packing our equipment we conduct a full walkthrough inspection of our work. If you find any area we missed we’ll re‑clean it — We can make it right, only if it’s not a permanent mark or previous accidental damage. The spotfree guarantee applies to acts of weather as well—we want you happy.
Yes, we offer solar panel cleaning as an add‑on service. Alameda’s fog and bird droppings can reduce panel efficiency by 15‑25%. Our pure‑water, soft‑brush system is ideal for delicate photovoltaic glass—no chemicals, no high pressure. We can add solar cleaning to any residential window appointment for a flat fee based on panel count.
We include basic track vacuuming and screen washing (removed, gently cleaned with pure water, and reinstalled), if extra charge is going to be applied you will be notified beforehand your booking for most standard windows. For mini blinds, wood blinds, or shades, we offer a separate deep‑cleaning service (because they require dusting each slat individually). Just add it when you book online. For tracks with heavy black mold or paint overspray, we’ll advise you on the best restoration approach—sometimes replacement is more cost‑effective.
Fog or condensation between two panes of glass means the insulating seal has failed. No amount of exterior cleaning can fix that—the moisture is inside. We’ll point out any failed seals during our free pre‑service walkthrough. We don’t repair sealed units (that requires a glass fabricator), but we’ll save you the cost of repeatedly cleaning a window that will never look clear from the outside.
Yes. Our pure‑water poles extend safely up to three stories (about 35 feet). For Alameda homes with taller dormers or attic windows, we may use a lightweight, stable ladder as a last resort, but we prefer ground‑based cleaning for safety. We never lean ladders against gutters or siding—our ladder tips have rubber bumpers and stand‑offs.
Here’s exactly how it works: After we finish cleaning your home, you inspect the windows. If you find a spot, streak, or smudge, before finishing up & packing our equipment we conduct a full walkthrough inspection of our work. If you find any area we missed we’ll re‑clean it — We can make it right, only if it’s not a permanent mark or previous accidental damage. (not new bird droppings or tree sap), just tell us right there. We’ll re‑clean that spot on the window for free—no arguments, no fine print. In 2025-2026, we re‑cleaned less than 1% of our jobs, but the guarantee keeps us sharp.
