We have a CYV. As you will not doubt find from experience, Florida rains are torrential and gutters help route the water from pouring off the roof, damaging plants and flower beds, to the driveway in the front and to the in-ground drain in the backyard. Gutters also helped to eliminate the morning dew which runs off the roof every morning and was staining our concrete walk and patio. The total cost in 2005 for gutters on three sides of the CYV was about $350. We'd do it again if we had the choice, and we'll probably add a gutter on the fourth side of the house.
