Gutter and downspout size for Bevil Oaks rain
What overwhelms a gutter is a burst, not a season. In Bevil Oaks the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 10.21 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 11). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 710 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 1,410, by the rule in the Copper Development Association’s design handbook.

The houses in Bevil Oaks
Half the homes in Bevil Oaks were built by 1978, 59% before 1980 (ACS 2020–2024). In a neighborhood that age, many houses are on their second set of gutters or due for one, and the fascia board behind them is worth checking at the same visit. On a house built before 1978, replacing more than 20 square feet of painted fascia or trim falls under the EPA’s lead-safe rule, so ask whether the crew is certified.
85% of households own their home, and 93% of homes are detached houses, 1% townhouses. Where an HOA governs the exterior, its rules on gutter color and style apply before any order is placed.
