Comment on ice was right on target. You can buy gutters that will carry the weight but the real issue is the water that will back up under the shingles and raise havoc with the lower edge of the roof and cornice system.

One or two story structure? If a single story, the most effective, grief free solution is a false gable (on the roof) over the door to direct the water away from that area. Will also work on a two story but generally not as effective.

Good luck,
Jim
