When to clean gutters in Poteet
The first fall frost comes around December 1 in a typical year here, and the last spring frost around February 22 (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.
When to clean gutters explains how the trees over a roof change the schedule.
Gutter and downspout size for Poteet rain
Gutters are sized for the worst few minutes of a storm, not for the year. In Poteet the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 9.08 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 11). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 790 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 1,590, by the rule in the Copper Development Association’s design handbook.

The houses in Poteet
Half the homes in Poteet were built by 1974, 59% 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.
63% of households own their home, and 62% of homes are detached houses. Where an HOA governs the exterior, its rules on gutter color and style apply before any order is placed.
