When to clean gutters in St. George
The first fall frost comes around October 19 in a typical year here, and the last spring frost around April 18 (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.

The short, hard downpour is what a gutter is sized for. In St. George the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 8.51 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 8). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 850 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 1,690, by the rule in the Copper Development Association’s design handbook.

Half the homes in St. George were built by 2006, 22% before 1980 (ACS 2020–2024). Most houses here are young enough to have their first gutters, so cleanings, guards and small leaks come up more than replacements.
79% of households own their home, and 71% of homes are detached houses, 4% townhouses. If an association maintains the exterior, the gutters may be its job rather than yours; check before calling.
