When to clean gutters in New Lebanon
The first fall frost comes around October 25 in a typical year here, and the last spring frost around April 18 (median dates, NOAA normals). A fall cleaning set for the weeks after that frost, when the branches over the house are bare, gets the year’s leaves in one trip; a spring visit follows once the pollen and catkins have come down.

Gutter and downspout size for New Lebanon rain
Gutters are sized for the worst few minutes of a storm, not for the year. In New Lebanon the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 6.79 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 2). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 1,060 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 2,120, by the rule in the Copper Development Association’s design handbook.

The houses in New Lebanon
Half the homes in New Lebanon were built by 1968, 82% 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.
73% of households own their home, and 82% 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.
