Harvest is what makes the Caldwell fall calendar different from the rest of the valley. Working ground throws its heaviest dust of the year while it is being harvested, and the Sunnyslope wine harvest adds its own traffic and activity, so cleaning too early is the most common local way to waste money on window cleaning.
Harvest activity on nearby ground puts more material into the air than any other time of year. Glass cleaned in the middle of it is dirty again within days. The sequence that works is harvest finishes, irrigation shuts off, then windows get cleaned once and hold through winter.
Once irrigation is off, the source of hard water spotting stops until spring. It is also the clearest moment to assess how much deposit the summer actually left, with nothing new landing on the glass to confuse the picture.
Gutters here collect a dense mix of leaf litter and agricultural dust that packs into a heavy layer. It holds water, it weighs more than it looks, and it does not clear itself. Getting it out before the first freeze keeps a clog from becoming an ice problem.
Between harvest ending, irrigation shutting off and the first sustained freeze there is a short band of ideal working weather that every property in the county wants. Booking early in that band rather than late is largely what decides whether the work happens this year.

Harvest generates the heaviest airborne dust of the year, so glass cleaned during it is dirty again within days.
Generally mid-October depending on the district. Cleaning after shutoff is the best value of the year.
It is heavier and grittier, and it packs into gutters more densely than leaf litter does.
Until sustained freezing sets in. Call (208) 453-6760 for a straight answer on a given week.
Yes, and it makes sense to do both on one ladder visit before the roof ices over.
