About A-1 The Clear Choice
A-1 The Clear Choice began with a young man from a small town in England knocking on doors in Mill Valley, offering to wash windows. That was 1988. Today the company serves homes, real estate agents and businesses across Alameda, Contra Costa and Marin counties, and the founder still cares about every job.
How It Started
Stuart Sugden has now lived in the United States longer than he lived in England. He began by cleaning windows and drumming up business one doorstep at a time. People liked the work, told their neighbors, and the client list grew, first residential and then commercial.
Over the years the services grew too: gutters, pressure washing, solar panel cleaning and more. The workforce grew to eight to ten full-time team members. The way the company works did not change.
Our Crew
Most of our technicians have been with us for five to ten years or more, which is rare in this business. Customers notice. Many ask for their favorite crew member by name, and the familiar faces are a big reason people feel comfortable having us in their homes.
We train every technician, and we protect your home as carefully as our own.
