Fall is the point in the Star year when the hard water clock stops. Irrigation shuts off across the districts, the heavy summer watering that new landscaping demands finally ends, and for the first time since April nothing is spraying mineral at the house.
With irrigation off, glass cleaned in late October stays clean through winter in a way nothing done in July can. In neighbourhoods where summer cleaning feels like a losing battle against the sprinklers, this is the clean that actually delivers, and it is the best value on the calendar.
With nothing new landing on the glass, fall is the clearest moment to judge how much mineral actually accumulated. A haze that survives a proper clean is etching. Knowing that in October gives you a winter to plan and a spring to fix the sprinkler, rather than discovering it next July.
Newer Star houses often go into their first or second winter with owners assuming gutters are a non-issue because the trees are small. Roof grit, construction leftovers and wind-blown debris still collect, and a packed gutter that freezes backs up at the roof edge.
Between irrigation shutoff and the first sustained freeze there is a short stretch every property in the valley wants. Holiday light installation is the same ladder visit as gutters, and planning both in October rather than December is the difference between one trip and a scramble.

Generally mid-October depending on the district. Cleaning after shutoff is the best-value timing of the year.
Probably less often, but not never. Roof grit, construction leftovers and wind-blown debris still accumulate.
Because the irrigation that causes most spotting is off, so the clean actually lasts through winter.
Yes, and it is the sensible order since both are ladder work before the roof ices over.
