Depending on the conditions of your house's exterior, foundation, roof lines, soil, and local climate, yes gutters have a point. For example, brick absorbs water so having rain sheet down off the roof and onto the exterior walls is bad.


About 5 years ago I removed the gutters from my mom's garage because they kept getting hosed up by snow avalanches sliding off the main house roof. Now it's having some rot problems on the sill plates in some areas which I need to fix. Removing the entire gutter was a mistake.

counterpoint: my house growing up never had gutters and the only problem we ever had was a line of dead grass where the rain would fall from the roof :smugdog:
