Is gutter a must for the newly built house?

[Eve W.]

I thought the house come with the gutter, apparently not.

Do I need to have it installed asap? It's a rental home, brand new house.

Gutters may not be required in some areas or in Sugar Land, but some type of water management is required in many areas, in your area the should have put gutters on. A standard 18-24" overhand won't cut it.

You may have difficulty in with an appraisal for financing, FHA will require it or something so that water doesn't pool or splash near the foundation. You eed to get the water run off away from the house.

I suggest yougt gutters ASAP or a french drain system to keep water away. :)
