When to clean gutters in Prescott Valley
The first fall frost comes around October 20 in a typical year here, and the last spring frost around April 30 (median dates, NOAA normals). Booking the fall cleaning after the first frost, once the trees over the roof are bare, catches the season’s drop in one visit; the spring cleaning comes after the pollen and catkins are down.

Gutter and downspout size for Prescott Valley rain
What overwhelms a gutter is a burst, not a season. In Prescott Valley the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 6.01 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 1). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 1,200 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 2,400, 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.
