Frequently asked questions.

We provide professional on-site estimates to ensure accurate pricing tailored to your property's specific needs. Factors such as window count, roof access, surface condition, buildup, and overall property layout can affect the scope of work. Our goal is to provide clear, fair, and accurate pricing with no surprises.

Yes — Top Choice Exterior Services is licensed, bonded, and insured, and we're happy to provide documentation before any work begins.

We serve the Eastside, Seattle, and the surrounding South Sound — including Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, Mercer Island, Issaquah, Sammamish, Newcastle, Renton, Kent, Seattle, Maple Valley, Covington, Auburn, Tacoma, and Puyallup.

Most quotes come back the same day. Call us directly if you'd like to talk through the job right away.

Yes — we provide exterior cleaning for HOAs, condominium associations, apartment communities, property management companies, and commercial properties, including scheduled annual maintenance programs.

Yes. Most homes get both, and we'd rather do the full job than half of it. Exterior-only is available if that's what you want.

Window cleaning covers the glass itself. Tracks and frames collect a different kind of grime and are quoted as their own add-on service — bundle them and we take care of everything in one visit.

Every quote is done on-site. Window count, access, and the condition of the glass all factor in — you get one clear written price with no surprises.

Not when it's done right. We check every pane for tempered or tinted markings before any scraping, work the blade wet at the correct angle, and never dry-scrape. Most damage you see on new construction comes from rushed crews working dry — that's not how we work.

After the painters, finishers, and general clean-up crews are done — final pass before move-in, listing photos, or staging. Earlier than that and the glass gets dirty again immediately.

Standard service is interior only. Exterior brightening (those black streaks on the outside of the gutters) is available as an add-on — just ask when you book.

We typically place gutter debris in your yard waste bin at no extra cost. If you'd rather have it gone completely, we can bag it and take it off-site for a small added charge — just let us know when you book.

Twice a year for most homes — late spring and late fall. Heavily-treed lots benefit from a third pass mid-season.

Not the way we do it. Siding gets soft washing (low pressure + the right cleaning solution). Plants get covered or rinsed clear before we start.

Every quote is done on-site. Surface area, condition, and the amount of buildup all factor in — you get one clear written price with no surprises.

Pressure washing uses high water pressure for hard surfaces (concrete, stone, fencing). Soft washing uses low pressure with a cleaning solution for delicate surfaces (siding, stucco, painted exteriors).

We work carefully around your landscaping — plants get rinsed before, during, and after, and we keep the cleaning solution off sensitive areas. Point out anything delicate before we start and we'll plan around it.

Whichever is safest for your roof. Steep or fragile roofs get treated from below; accessible pitches get hand-cleaned.

Strongly recommended in the PNW. Even after visible moss is removed, spores remain — a follow-up treatment is the difference between a one-time cost and an annual one.

Roughly 12 months in PNW conditions. We'll recommend a re-application schedule based on your roof type and tree cover.

We apply carefully and keep the treatment off sensitive surroundings, rinsing as needed. Let us know about anything delicate and we'll plan the application around it.

Yes — exterior access is enough. We just need to coordinate around any locked gates.

We can flag what needs replacing and refer you to a screen specialist. We don't do replacements ourselves.

Yes — cleaned in place. No disassembly required.

Most of the time, yes. If there's a hardware issue we'll flag it for you.

Yes — measurably. Dirt and pollen reduce sunlight absorption; clean panels run more efficiently. Most homeowners see the difference on their next bill.

No — we follow manufacturer-recommended cleaning practices. We can confirm specifics if you share your panel make.

We maintain the display through the season — if a bulb or run goes out, we come swap it.

October fills up fast. Booking by mid-September gives the most flexibility on install dates.
