A1 Window & Blind
A-1 The Clear Choice has been servicing Bay Area residents and businesses for over 30 years. We offer a variety of affordable cleaning services which add to the beauty, safety and value of your home or business. All work is performed by members of our experienced and professional crew. We can work around your scheduling needs.

Estimates are always free. Our team is professionally-trained, hard-working, conscientious and completely trustworthy. Most of our technicians have been working with us to delight Bay area home and business owners for upwards of 5-10 years. Many of our clients will ask for their favorite team members to return again and again.

Originally from a small town in England, Stuart has resided in the U.S. for longer than he lived in his homeland. He started transforming people's windows in 1988, drumming up business by knocking on doors in Mill Valley. Positive client responses led him to advertising in the Yellow Pages, and he quickly developed a significant clientele base - both residential and commercial.
Services
Stuart, Eddie, did a magnificent job of carefully cleaning some very dirty and damaged windows. We've been smiling all evening at the wonder of all we're able to now see. We recommend having your windows cleaned at least once or twice a year to prevent hard water accumulation and to extend the longevity of windows and screens.
Since 1989, A-1 The Clear Choice has cleaned thousands of windows in homes and businesses throughout the counties of Alameda, Marin, Contra Costa and San Francisco. We take great pride in what we do, and know from experience how much you'll appreciate the view from your shiny windows after our work is complete.
A BIG 5 stars for Stuart and team at A-1! Needed emergency cleaning of gutters due to heavy rains and clogged downspouts. A-1 to the rescue. Efficient, knowledgeable, reliable - A-1 all the way around. A home with a 1,500 square foot roof will shed 1,000 gallons of water for every inch of rain fall.
I am more than satisfied. They were totally professional, easy to deal with. They came when they said, did a great job and the price was less than I thought it would be. If I could give 6 stars, I would. Over time, dirt, stains, pollutants and moss can build up on house exteriors, decks and walkways.
The two gentlemen who came to do our windows were amazing. They were professional, courteous and meticulously paid attention to all detail blemishes! You deserve your number one rating on Yelp. Solar panels are similar to the windows in your car or home. They get dirty from rain, dust, pollen, soot, smog, auto emissions, chimney ashes, bird droppings, leaves and other environmental debris.

These guys were great. We used them for gutters and removing moss from roof. They came recommended by a neighbor. I called them after the big storm earlier in October, so they were booked solid (no surprise). So while it took two weeks or so before they could get to us, once they were here they were amazing. They were careful, safe, thorough, and really did a great job. Another neighbor commented how it looks we have a new roof - I couldn't agree more! Really wonderful and very reasonably priced.

I have used A-1 to clean my windows for the last few years. They provide affordable quotes promptly and Felipe cleaned the windows and screens of my two-story townhouse efficiently and effectively. I will continue to use A-1 in future years.

It is about 8 years since my last review. When I learned that they also do deck maintenance, I was so happy, because I have a two-story redwood deck that really needed to have a new coat of stain and sealant. In addition, this two-story deck has lots of railing and, consequently, lots of little fence-like vertical posts that support the railing. A1 power-washed, sanded, re-stained and re-sealed everything except the little vertical posts for $5675, which was on par with what I was expecting to pay (other quotes I got 2-3 years ago were in the $5-6K range). Everything went smoothly, which

Highly recommend this small company.

I just loved the service I received from A-1 The Clear Choice. They fully cleaned my gutters which were full of crap. They told what items were in my gutter and the Alisio said it with a big smile. I will use them for my window cleaning come spring and gutter cleaning come fall.

Good priced, they get back to you quickly, they update you if person running late and they do a great job.

Based on the other Yelp reviews, I'm not sure what to make of this experience. I've requested a quote via Yelp, email and phone and was told I would hear back right away on all methods. It's been almost 2 weeks and I've heard nothing back.

I have a 3-story house on a hillside and my windows are not easily accessible. A-1 did a fantastic job reaching and cleaning all of them, inside and out, and they even replaced my bird-strike decals expertly! They were professional and thorough, and worked with my schedule to get the job done. I'm more than pleased with the results and would recommend them to anyone!

They did our windows and awnings on our commercial building in Emeryville. Big enough job they spit it over two days.
Very happy the work.

A1 have been great from the start - really easy to communicate with, fit me in at short notice and the team that came out were just lovely. Ever so sweet, and they did a wonderful job of getting to windows that were a little bit tricky to reach.

I would definitely book them again. Such a great team.

I love these guys. I'm a real estate agent and have relied on them for years to do the windows for my listings. I use them at my own house for gutter cleaning and windows as well. They are careful with screens, thorough, never leave a mess, show up on time and always do a terrific job. Thank you Stuart. Again!

Thanks loads for wasting my time and making it so late in the season that I'm going to have a hard time finding someone else to do the job. How does this place have 5 stars?

See exchange below.


Oct 12: submitted a request for an estimate on their website and followed up giving them permission to do an on-site review of my property.

A-1 A Clear Choice did a great job on our windows (inside and out) for a very reasonable price. This was the first time we have had our windows professionally cleaned. My husband said, "Wow! We should do this every year!"

The process for getting an estimate was very straightforward. We connected entirely online. They sent out an estimator within a couple of days, and broke down the job with costs for the various options (inside windows, outside windows, skylights etc.)

They scheduled our job promptly. The two workers were friendly and fast. The windows look great.

This company is amazing! They have great customer service, reasonable prices, and hard working professionals who do a wonderful job. What more could you ask for!?!

I'm usually not this excited about getting our windows and gutters clean (I promise) but this company makes it simple and everything looks incredible when they are finished.

I don't usually give 5 star reviews unless something is perfect, but unlike a lot of home service related companies there is nothing material to complain about. I called to request a quote and they were able to come within a few days. Two days later I received an email quote with an online system to see everything and accept the quote. I opted for the "whenever you can" timeframe and I was called the same day to schedule my gutter cleaning which fell only a few days later despite the rainy weather.

I requested a bid for both gutter cleaning and house washing which came in not the

We had lots of huge windows in our former home, some of which were 16' high. A-1 always did a spectacular job of keeping them clean, as well as getting rid of the many spider webs that seemed to cluster near the top of the building. No doubt, we'll have A-1 take care of our new home as well. Highly recommended!
