Serving Bergen, Passaic, Essex & Hudson County NJ — and Rockland, Westchester & Orange County NY. Screens removed, hand-washed, dried, and reinstalled. Available as a standalone service or bundled with any Brightness window cleaning appointment.
Window screens are one of the most overlooked surfaces in residential maintenance. They block pollen, dust, insects, and airborne debris from entering your home — but only when the mesh itself is clean and intact. A clogged screen doesn’t just look dirty; it restricts airflow, traps allergens against the frame, and can cause premature mesh deterioration from the weight and moisture of accumulated debris.
Brightness provides professional window screen cleaning throughout Bergen County, Passaic County, Essex County, and Hudson County in New Jersey, and across the state line into Rockland County, Westchester County, and Orange County, New York. Screen cleaning is available as a standalone appointment or added to any Brightness window cleaning visit — most homeowners book both together, since the crew is already on site and the screens need to be removed anyway during exterior window cleaning.
When Brightness cleans your windows, the crew removes every screen to access the exterior glass. Those removed screens have to go somewhere — and that’s the ideal moment to clean them, since they’re already off the frames.
Adding screen cleaning to a window cleaning appointment costs $2–$5 per screen and takes roughly the same amount of additional time per screen as the window itself. For a typical Bergen County or Rockland County home with 20–30 screens, that’s an additional $50–$150 on top of your window cleaning — and you leave with completely clean glass and completely clean screens reinstalled on the same visit.
Every Brightness window cleaning appointment already includes screen removal and reinstallation. The screen cleaning itself is the add-on — and it’s the most efficient add-on in the business because the screens are coming off either way.
Step 1 — Inspection: Each screen is checked for damage, tears, bent frames, or worn mesh before cleaning begins. Damage is noted and the homeowner is informed.
Step 2 — Removal and Labeling: Screens are carefully removed from their windows and labeled to ensure correct reinstallation on the same window at the same orientation.
Step 3 — Dry Debris Removal: Soft brushes and vacuums remove loose dust, pollen, debris, and insect deposits from both sides of the mesh before any water is applied.
Step 4 — Deep Cleaning: Screens are washed with a mild, eco-friendly detergent and warm water using soft brushes that clean the mesh without distorting or stretching the weave.
Step 5 — Rinsing: A clean water rinse removes all soap residue and loosened debris from both the mesh and the frame.
Step 6 — Drying and Final Inspection: Screens are air-dried and inspected a second time. Any remaining spots or missed areas are addressed before reinstallation.
Step 7 — Reinstallation: Screens are returned to their correct windows and checked for proper fit, secure seating, and full function.
Screen cleaning is typically priced at $2–$5 per screen. Most Bergen County and Rockland County homes have between 20 and 30 screens, which puts a full-home screen cleaning in the $50–$150 range. When booked alongside a window cleaning appointment — which is how most Brightness customers book screens — the crew is already on site and the screens are coming off for the exterior window cleaning anyway, making it the most efficient add-on in the appointment.
Once a year is the standard recommendation for most NJ and NY homes. Spring cleaning removes the heavy pollen buildup that accumulates from late March through May — peak season in Bergen County and Rockland County’s wooded neighborhoods. If your home is near heavy tree coverage or you run central air frequently with windows open, twice a year (spring and fall) keeps airflow and allergen levels optimal.
No — we remove every screen for cleaning. In-place cleaning of installed screens never fully cleans the mesh because debris is packed into the weave from both sides and the frame channel cannot be accessed. Our removal, labeling, and reinstallation process ensures every screen is cleaned thoroughly and returned to exactly the right window.
Our inspection step identifies damaged screens — tears, bent frames, failed corner joints, or compromised mesh. We note any damage and inform you before cleaning. Minor repairs may be available on-site; more significant screen replacement or re-screening is outside our current scope and we’ll recommend a screen repair specialist for those situations.
