When to clean gutters in Palm Beach Shores
Frost is rare in Palm Beach Shores, and in many years there is none (NOAA normals). With no hard freeze to strip the trees, the fall cleaning follows the leaf drop itself; book it once the trees over the roof are bare, and plan a second visit in spring.

Gutter and downspout size for Palm Beach Shores rain
Gutters are sized for the worst few minutes of a storm, not for the year. In Palm Beach Shores the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 11.05 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 9). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 650 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 1,300, 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 Palm Beach Shores
Half the homes in Palm Beach Shores were built by 1966, 78% 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.
61% of households own their home, and 33% of homes are detached houses. If an association maintains the exterior, the gutters may be its job rather than yours; check before calling.
