A proper gutter cleaning is more than scooping out leaves. Here's what Therm-O-Jet includes on every job:
Full debris removal
All leaves, twigs, seed pods, shingle grit, and organic buildup removed from gutters by hand and by flush.
Downspout flushing
Every downspout flushed with pressurized water to clear blockages and verify flow from gutter to ground.
Flow verification
We run water through the system after cleaning to confirm gutters are draining correctly and water is moving away from the foundation.
Debris disposal
All removed debris bagged and taken off your property. We don't leave a pile on your lawn.
Visual inspection
We note any visible damage — sagging sections, separated joints, missing hangers — and report it to you before we leave.
When to Schedule Gutter Cleaning in NJ
Late Fall (Nov–Dec)
The most important cleaning of the year. Schedule after the majority of leaves have dropped — typically mid-to-late November in Bergen County. This clears the system before winter freezes set in.
Spring (March–April)
Clears winter debris, seed pods, and any material that accumulated over the cold months. Also a good time to check for damage from ice and freeze-thaw cycles.
Summer (optional)
Homes with heavy tree coverage — especially maples and oaks — may need a mid-summer cleaning as seed pods and early leaf drop accumulate.
Rule of thumb: Most Bergen County homes need gutter cleaning twice a year. Homes with significant tree coverage — common in Park Ridge, Ridgewood, Tenafly, and similar wooded boroughs — often need three cleanings.
What Clogged Gutters Actually Cost You
Foundation damage
Overflowing gutters direct water against your foundation. Over time this causes cracking, settling, and basement water intrusion — repairs that cost thousands.
Fascia and soffit rot
Water backing up behind clogged gutters saturates the fascia board and soffit. Wood rot here is expensive to repair and often goes unnoticed until it's severe.
Ice dams in winter
Debris-filled gutters trap water that freezes in NJ winters. Ice dams force water under shingles and into the roof structure — one of the most costly winter damage scenarios.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does gutter cleaning cost in Bergen County NJ?
Gutter cleaning in Bergen County typically runs $100–$250 for a standard single-family home depending on linear footage, number of stories, and how clogged the gutters are. Multi-story homes and properties with heavy debris run higher. Call (201) 697-3695 for a free estimate.
How often should gutters be cleaned in New Jersey?
Most NJ homes benefit from gutter cleaning twice a year — once in late fall after leaves have dropped (November–December) and once in spring (March–April) to clear winter debris and check for damage. Homes with heavy tree coverage may need cleaning 3–4 times per year.
What happens if I don't clean my gutters?
Clogged gutters cause water to overflow onto siding and pool against the foundation, leading to water intrusion, basement flooding, fascia rot, and landscape erosion. In winter, clogged gutters contribute to ice dam formation, which can cause significant roof and interior damage.
Do you clean gutters on multi-story homes?
Yes. We clean gutters on single-story, two-story, and three-story residential properties, as well as commercial buildings. Pricing scales with height and linear footage.
Do you offer gutter cleaning combined with house washing?
Yes. Many customers combine gutter cleaning with a full exterior soft wash. Bundling both services in one visit saves on mobilization cost. Call (201) 697-3695 to discuss a combined estimate.
