Gutter and downspout size for Munfordville rain
Gutters are sized for the worst few minutes of a storm, not for the year. In Munfordville the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 6.37 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 2). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 1,130 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 2,260, by the rule in the Copper Development Association’s design handbook.

The houses in Munfordville
Half the homes in Munfordville were built by 1975, 63% 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.
37% of households own their home, and 52% of homes are detached houses. Where an HOA governs the exterior, its rules on gutter color and style apply before any order is placed.
