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 Village rain
The short, hard downpour is what a gutter is sized for. In Green Village the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 6.32 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 2). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 1,140 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 2,280, by the rule in the Copper Development Association’s design handbook.

The houses in Green Village
Half the homes in Green Village were built by 1971, 69% 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.
45% of households own their home, and 40% of homes are detached houses, 11% townhouses. In a townhouse or HOA community, check who owns the gutters and what colors are allowed before booking.
