Gutter cleaning, repair and new gutters in Reno, TX
A normal year in Reno brings about 49 inches of rain; on roughly 15 of its days, an inch or more comes down at once. The wettest season is spring (March to May), with about 14.7 inches; the driest is winter (December to February), with 10.7. Off a 1,000-square-foot roof, that comes to about 30,300 gallons a year for the gutters to carry.

When to clean gutters in Reno
The first fall frost comes around November 16 in a typical year here, and the last spring frost around March 14 (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 Reno rain
The short, hard downpour is what a gutter is sized for. In Reno the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 8.35 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 11). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 860 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 1,720, 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 Reno
Half the homes in Reno were built by 1993, 6% before 1980 (ACS 2020–2024). Houses that age have often had their gutters replaced once already; if not, the original runs and the boards behind them deserve a close look.
76% of households own their home, and 85% of homes are detached houses, 9% townhouses. If an association maintains the exterior, the gutters may be its job rather than yours; check before calling.
