When to clean gutters in San Saba
The first fall frost comes around November 13 in a typical year here, and the last spring frost around March 16 (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 San Saba rain
The short, hard downpour is what a gutter is sized for. In San Saba the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 8.29 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 11). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 870 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 1,740, by the rule in the Copper Development Association’s design handbook.

The houses in San Saba
Half the homes in San Saba were built by 1970, 61% 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.
65% of households own their home, and 75% of homes are detached houses, 3% townhouses. In a townhouse or HOA community, check who owns the gutters and what colors are allowed before booking.
