Gutter and downspout size for De Queen rain
The short, hard downpour is what a gutter is sized for. In De Queen the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 8.80 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 9). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 820 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 1,640, by the rule in the Copper Development Association’s design handbook.

The houses in De Queen
Half the homes in De Queen were built by 1974, 63% 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. 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.
44% of households own their home, and 61% 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.
