When to clean gutters in Horseshoe Bay
The first fall frost comes around November 23 in a typical year here, and the last spring frost around March 6 (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 Horseshoe Bay rain
The short, hard downpour is what a gutter is sized for. In Horseshoe Bay the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 8.90 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 11). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 810 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 1,620, 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.
The houses in Horseshoe Bay
Half the homes in Horseshoe Bay were built by 1994, 15% 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.
84% of households own their home, and 62% of homes are detached houses, 15% townhouses. If an association maintains the exterior, the gutters may be its job rather than yours; check before calling.
