Ali, I would use WMI to interface the Windows Service, and Web Services to extend a Service Interface for your WMI Windows Service Controller. This allows you to use some existing API's on the server and client and perhaps even reduce the number of threads in use.

Can windows services be exposed as web services? 2. What is the best way (from performance perspective) to communicate with a windows service residing on a remote computer (in an intranet/same security zone/no firewalls in between)?
