When to clean gutters in Marco Island
Frost is rare in Marco Island, and in many years there is none (NOAA normals). With no hard freeze to strip the trees, the fall cleaning follows the leaf drop itself; book it once the trees over the roof are bare, and plan a second visit in spring.

Gutter and downspout size for Marco Island rain
The short, hard downpour is what a gutter is sized for. In Marco Island the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 10.62 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 9). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 680 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 1,360, 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.
