When to clean gutters in Medina
The first fall frost comes around October 30 in a typical year here, and the last spring frost around April 4 (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 Medina rain
The short, hard downpour is what a gutter is sized for. In Medina the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 7.16 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 2). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 1,010 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 2,010, 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 Medina
Half the homes in Medina were built by 2004, 23% before 1980 (ACS 2020–2024). Most houses here are young enough to have their first gutters, so cleanings, guards and small leaks come up more than replacements.
80% of households own their home, and 93% of homes are detached houses, 2% townhouses. In a townhouse or HOA community, check who owns the gutters and what colors are allowed before booking.
