Gutter cleaning, repair and new gutters in Mayflower, AR
A normal year in Mayflower brings about 50 inches of rain; on roughly 15 of its days, an inch or more comes down at once. The wettest season is spring (March to May), with about 15.3 inches; the driest is summer (June to August), with 10.2.

When to clean gutters in Mayflower
The first fall frost comes around November 1 in a typical year here, and the last spring frost around April 1 (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.
When to clean gutters explains how the trees over a roof change the schedule.
Gutter and downspout size for Mayflower rain
The short, hard downpour is what a gutter is sized for. In Mayflower the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 7.90 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 9). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 910 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 1,820, 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 Mayflower
Half the homes in Mayflower were built by 1993, 30% 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.
80% of households own their home, and 73% of homes are detached houses, 2% townhouses. If an association maintains the exterior, the gutters may be its job rather than yours; check before calling.
