As the title states, do we have any HOA guru's on this site or guys with legal experience?

First, did your HOA give your prior notice to the work being performed? My parents belong to two HOA's and they always give advance notice. It's usually in the monthly meeting minutes that are provided to the homeowners.
If so, IMO you have no leg to stand on. If they didn't give you notice, send the HOA Board a note and see what they can do to help. You'll spend more in legal fees than it will be to pay someone to professional clean your windows. My .02
The HOA contractor needs to leave your property in as good of shape, or better than when they arrived. If your windows were clean and are now dirty, then the hoa, or its contractor "should" come fix the issue. You may have to bitch A LOT to get something done. It all depends on the person you are talking to.
From what I read I don't think you have much to stand on, and I feel it's a little petty.
Let me explain I'm not trying to be a dick.
You cleaned your windows Saturday. Then you said Sunday they notified you that Monday they would be power washing or whatever for Monday. So there was advance notice.
It's unfortunate that you just washed your windows but they didn't know that. Also we are not talking about permanent damage here, just some dirt.
I would just reclean your windows and end it. Your going to stress yourself out and put up a huge fight over something that can be cleaned with some windex and a nice glass of vodka for yourself.
Just my 2 cents
They notified us with a piece of paper taped to our garage door on Sunday, June 11th, that power washing would be done on Monday, June 12th. The notification wasn't on our garage until the mid-PM's of the afternoon when our indoor camera spotted someone. That's less than 24HR notice.
My in-laws belong to an HOA and three of my friends do. All of their associations give a minimum of 48HRS of any work to be done
Did you check your board "minutes"? I'd venture that it was mentioned in there quite a bit of time ago. For example, the roads in my parent's property in Wisconsin were scheduled to be resurfaced in early June. It was discussed months ago to get the budget/contractor approved, the residents were reminded in last May's meeting minutes, and a notice was posted before work started. If this type of communication isn't occurring, you should bring it to the attention of the board (or run yourself to change stuff).
FUCK HOA's
that's all I got
