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 Rogersville rain
The short, hard downpour is what a gutter is sized for. In Rogersville the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 8.24 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 9). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 870 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 1,750, by the rule in the Copper Development Association’s design handbook.

The houses in Rogersville
Half the homes in Rogersville were built by 1973, 63% 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. 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.
68% of households own their home, and 78% of homes are detached houses, 1% townhouses. If an association maintains the exterior, the gutters may be its job rather than yours; check before calling.
