When to clean gutters in Nooksack

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.

Here gutters are sized from the roof and the local building department’s design rate.
