When we had our house totally remodeled and added on to a few years ago, we were surprised to find that our builder hadn’t factored in the cost of gutters. He said they were optional. We went back to the architect’s plans, and found they weren’t spec’d, but when we discussed it w/the architect he said he expected we’d put them on. For a little while, we thought we might skip them because we were afraid they might look ugly (our roofline has a lot of angles), but decided we didn’t want to deal with the water issues. We’re glad we put them on…can’t even imagine not having them with all the storms we’ve had, and visually, we don’t even notice them.
