One other point, if you install gutters, you will have then concentrated the rain from the roof into a few locations, instead of around the entire house. Be very careful, you will probably need to install underground piping to a suitable location and then a popup drain cover. We had additional gutters installed in the front of the house, the drain was not handled well, lawn died, had to have the drain relocated, and lawn resodded. IMHO, unless you are having a specific problem with rainwater run off do not install gutters these are more of a problem than what they were installed to prevent.
