If your house is on a slab floor put the gutters on. I put them on my first house here in 2005 because I am from NY. Never had a problem. Didn't put them on my second house here, 2009 because I thought the rain water would be good for the shrubs around the house. But what happens is the rain water gets into the slab. The concrete slab acts as sponge. Didn't realize until I put wood floors in the bedrooms and the installer took a moisture reading to determine the correct adhesive for the flooring. Also saw grout lines in the exterior bathroom floor were always "wet" looking. Put gutters on and problem went away!
