Gutters in Central Texas

[Matthew Chalfant]

I have been told by actual engineers that gutters are great for a home because they keep water away from the foundation. According to weather data, we get around 33 inches a year. To put this in perspective, Seattle Washington gets around 37. The biggest difference is that in Texas we get all of the rain in just a few weeks a year.

My question is, is it worth it to install them in Killeen? Do appraisers factor in gutters when they appraise the home? Or is it just a good preventative maintenance step?
