Gutter and downspout size for Mountain Grove rain
Gutters are sized for the worst few minutes of a storm, not for the year. In Mountain Grove the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 7.86 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 8). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 920 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 1,830, by the rule in the Copper Development Association’s design handbook.

The houses in Mountain Grove
Half the homes in Mountain Grove were built by 1974, 60% before 1980 (ACS 2020–2024). At that age a gutter has seen decades of leaves and storms, and the fascia it hangs from has too. 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.
75% of households own their home, and 85% of homes are detached houses, 1% townhouses. Where an HOA governs the exterior, its rules on gutter color and style apply before any order is placed.
