Vermont rainfall & drainage drivers
- Annual rainfall: 43 inches/yr — drives K-style sizing and downspout count
- Dominant residential gutter profile: 5-inch K-style seamless aluminum — dominant low-rainfall retrofit profile
- Ground snow load: 50 psf — drives gutter bracket spacing and ice-shield requirements
- Ice-dam risk tier: High — sustained sub-freezing winter requires ice-and-water shield + heat-cable retrofit budget
- Hurricane wind tier: None
- Tree-canopy density: High — mature deciduous canopy drives gutter-guard demand and 2x annual cleaning frequency
Vermont licensing & permits
- License status: Statewide registration required (no exam)
- License board: Vermont Office of Professional Regulation — Residential Contractor Registration (official site)
- Permit: municipal building permit required where adopted; many small towns have no inspection program
