Gutter cleaning, repair and new gutters in Sherwood, WI
Sherwood gets about 32 inches of rain in a normal year, and on about 6 days a year an inch or more falls in a single day. The wettest season is summer (June to August), with about 11.5 inches; the driest is winter (December to February), with 4.0. That is about 20,000 gallons a year off each 1,000 square feet of roof, every drop of it through a gutter and a downspout.

By its first fall frost it sits near the middle of the 387 places in Wisconsin on this site (October 6).
When to clean gutters in Sherwood
The first fall frost comes around October 6 in a typical year here, and the last spring frost around May 6 (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.
When to clean gutters explains how the trees over a roof change the schedule.
Gutter and downspout size for Sherwood rain
What overwhelms a gutter is a burst, not a season. In Sherwood the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 6.52 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 8). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 1,100 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 2,210, 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.
With about 43 inches of snow in a normal year here (NOAA normals), gutters carry ice as well as water. Ice dams start with heat from the house melting roof snow that refreezes at the edge (University of Minnesota Extension); the fix for the dam is in the attic, and the gutter’s part is to be hung strongly enough to take the weight.
The houses in Sherwood
Half the homes in Sherwood were built by 2001, 21% before 1980 (ACS 2020–2024). In a neighborhood that young, many houses still have the gutters the builder put up, and the usual call is a cleaning, a leak or guards rather than a full replacement.
97% of households own their home, and 89% of homes are detached houses, 8% townhouses. In a townhouse or HOA community, check who owns the gutters and what colors are allowed before booking.
