Does this style roof need gutters?
The roof doesn't care if you have gutters or not, for the most part. The gutters are there to protect your grounds around the house as well as your foundation. As well as protecting the people entering in your door in a rain from taking a shower.
Without a doubt, if I owned that house I would be installing gutters. remember when I said the roof doesn't care? Well that front dormer is one time when it will. What will happen without a way of controlling water run off, from the dormer, it'll wear out the shingles below. Therefore a gutter should be installed with a downspout and a downspout extension to bring the water from the upper gutter durectly into the lower gutter and never coming in contact with the roof. It'll look ugly, the other other choice is a beat up roof which'll fail early.
