When to clean gutters in Crossett
The first fall frost comes around November 11 in a typical year here, and the last spring frost around March 18 (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.

Gutter and downspout size for Crossett rain
Gutters are sized for the worst few minutes of a storm, not for the year. In Crossett the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 8.53 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 9). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 840 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 1,690, by the rule in the Copper Development Association’s design handbook.

The houses in Crossett
Half the homes in Crossett were built by 1972, 75% before 1980 (ACS 2020–2024). At that age a gutter has seen decades of leaves and storms, and the fascia it hangs from has too. 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.
56% of households own their home, and 76% of homes are detached houses. Where an HOA governs the exterior, its rules on gutter color and style apply before any order is placed.
