When to clean gutters in Garland
The first fall frost comes around November 21 in a typical year here, and the last spring frost around March 7 (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 Garland rain
What overwhelms a gutter is a burst, not a season. In Garland the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 8.40 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 11). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 860 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 1,710, by the rule in the Copper Development Association’s design handbook.

The houses in Garland
Half the homes in Garland were built by 1978, 54% 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.
62% of households own their home, and 69% of homes are detached houses, 3% townhouses. In a townhouse or HOA community, check who owns the gutters and what colors are allowed before booking.
