When to clean gutters in Brooklyn
The first fall frost comes around October 15 in a typical year here, and the last spring frost around April 24 (median dates, NOAA normals). Booking the fall cleaning after the first frost, once the trees over the roof are bare, catches the season’s drop in one visit; the spring cleaning comes after the pollen and catkins are down.
When to clean gutters explains how the trees over a roof change the schedule.
Gutter and downspout size for Brooklyn rain
The short, hard downpour is what a gutter is sized for. In Brooklyn the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 7.45 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 2). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 970 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 1,930, 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 Brooklyn
Half the homes in Brooklyn were built by 1991, 30% 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 56% 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.
