When to clean gutters in Cypress Landing
The first fall frost comes around November 15 in a typical year here, and the last spring frost around March 22 (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 Cypress Landing rain
Gutters are sized for the worst few minutes of a storm, not for the year. In Cypress Landing the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 8.16 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 2). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 880 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 1,760, by the rule in the Copper Development Association’s design handbook.

Hiring in North Carolina
North Carolina licenses general contractors for projects of $40,000 or more (G.S. 87-1). An ordinary gutter job falls well below that, so no state license is required for it. Ask for proof of liability insurance and a written quote; for a larger project, look the company up with the licensing board.
