The wettest season is summer (June to August), with about 6.0 inches; the driest is spring (March to May), with 1.0.

When to clean gutters in Green Valley
The first fall frost comes around November 27 in a typical year here, and the last spring frost around February 25 (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 Green Valley rain
What overwhelms a gutter is a burst, not a season. In Green Valley the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 6.26 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 1). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 1,150 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 2,300, by the rule in the Copper Development Association’s design handbook. Try your own roof in the gutter and downspout calculator, which starts from this figure.
Green Valley is dry by national standards, about 13 inches in a normal year, but much of the rain that does come can arrive in short, hard storms: the five-minute downpour expected once in ten years still runs at 6.26 inches an hour. Where gutters are used here, the job is moving that burst away from the foundation, and keeping a dry season’s dust and debris from blocking the first storm.
The houses in Green Valley
Half the homes in Green Valley were built by 1986, 40% 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.
86% of households own their home, and 54% of homes are detached houses, 32% townhouses. In a townhouse or HOA community, check who owns the gutters and what colors are allowed before booking.
