You should try to limit the number of downspouts. The number is really determined by the length of gutter run. If the length is over 25-30 feet you may need a downspout at each end. Otherwise you would not be able to get enough pitch or slope on the gutter for it to drain properly. Aslo look to place downspouts where the excess water can easily drain away the house and foundation.

What entails a home based business?

A gutter cleaning home business provides a needed service to homeowners who are too busy or simply don't want to be bothered with the messy and somewhat dangerous task of keeping gutters and downspouts clear. While some gutter cleaning services may charge a flat per-house fee (say, $35 per house), others charge by the cumulative length of the gutters and downspouts (50 cents per linear foot, for example). For a challenging job, the per-house fee may be as high as $150, according to Servicemagic.com.
