When to clean gutters in Lyons
The first fall frost comes around October 22 in a typical year here, and the last spring frost around April 30 (median dates, NOAA normals). A fall cleaning set for the weeks after that frost, when the branches over the house are bare, gets the year’s leaves in one trip; a spring visit follows once the pollen and catkins have come down.

Weather and gutters in Lyons
NOAA Atlas 14 does not cover Washington and Oregon, so there is no current federal estimate of the short downpour for Lyons; NOAA plans published Atlas 15 estimates for the lower 48 states no earlier than September 2027. Here gutters are sized from the roof and the local building department’s design rate.
The houses in Lyons
Half the homes in Lyons were built by 1988, 44% 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.
88% of households own their home, and 86% of homes are detached houses, 1% townhouses. If an association maintains the exterior, the gutters may be its job rather than yours; check before calling.
