When to clean gutters in Aurora
The first fall frost comes around November 17 in a typical year here, and the last spring frost around March 12 (median dates, NOAA normals). A fall cleaning set for the weeks after that frost, when the branches over the house are bare, gets the year’s leaves in one trip; a spring visit follows once the pollen and catkins have come down.
When to clean gutters explains how the trees over a roof change the schedule.
Gutter and downspout size for Aurora rain
The short, hard downpour is what a gutter is sized for. In Aurora the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 8.09 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 11). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 890 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 1,780, by the rule in the Copper Development Association’s design handbook. Try your own roof in the gutter and downspout calculator, which starts from this figure.
The houses in Aurora
Half the homes in Aurora were built by 1994, 26% before 1980 (ACS 2020–2024). Houses that age have often had their gutters replaced once already; if not, the original runs and the boards behind them deserve a close look.
79% of households own their home, and 59% of homes are detached houses, 1% townhouses. If an association maintains the exterior, the gutters may be its job rather than yours; check before calling.
