When to clean gutters in Crowley
The first fall frost comes around December 4 in a typical year here, and the last spring frost around February 20 (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.

Gutter and downspout size for Crowley rain
What overwhelms a gutter is a burst, not a season. In Crowley the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 10.33 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 9). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 700 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 1,390, by the rule in the Copper Development Association’s design handbook.

The houses in Crowley
Half the homes in Crowley were built by 1970, 67% 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.
50% of households own their home, and 80% of homes are detached houses, 1% townhouses. In a townhouse or HOA community, check who owns the gutters and what colors are allowed before booking.
