When to clean gutters in Summerlin South
The first fall frost comes around November 15 in a typical year here, and the last spring frost around March 13 (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 Summerlin South rain
The short, hard downpour is what a gutter is sized for. In Summerlin South the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 3.60 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 1). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 2,000 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 4,000, 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.
Summerlin South is dry by national standards, about 10 inches in a normal year, but much of the rain that does come can arrive in short, hard storms: the five-minute downpour expected once in ten years still runs at 3.60 inches an hour. Where gutters are used here, the job is moving that burst away from the foundation, and keeping a dry season’s dust and debris from blocking the first storm.
