Gutters, leaves, and season’s end
November 2026 in Tampa Bay. November 30 closes hurricane season. Gutters, downspouts, and the last chance to dry-in before winter fronts.
Hurricane season ends November 30. Am I done?+
The dispatch window closes. Gutters, downspouts, and valley debris do not. A clogged 5-inch gutter in a 2pm cell is how fascia rots.
Do I need 6-inch gutters?+
On a lot of Tampa Bay ranches, yes. 5-inch was sized for somewhere drier. We look at roof area and downspout count, then we say.
Can you add gutters with a new roof?+
Yes. Same crew, one mobilization, fascia that is actually sound.
Should I wait until spring for a roof?+
If the roof is failed, no. Winter fronts still dump water. If it has life, a January drone is a fine plan.
