When to clean gutters in Greenwood Village
The first fall frost comes around October 8 in a typical year here, and the last spring frost around May 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 Greenwood Village rain
The short, hard downpour is what a gutter is sized for. In Greenwood Village the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 5.41 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 8). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 1,330 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 2,660, 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.
With about 34 inches of snow in a normal year here (NOAA normals), gutters carry ice as well as water. Ice dams start with heat from the house melting roof snow that refreezes at the edge (University of Minnesota Extension); the fix for the dam is in the attic, and the gutter’s part is to be hung strongly enough to take the weight.
