It depends. Generally, gutters won’t significantly increase home value. They can even decrease a home’s value if they’re poorly installed, not well-maintained, or cause damage to the home itself.  However, that doesn’t mean gutters don’t appeal to buyers. Homeowners in rainy areas know how essential gutters are, and a well-maintained gutter system is one of many features they may look for. Decorative gutters such as copper will increase home value, especially on historic properties.
