Sometimes the answer is yes — sometimes not yet
If drip edge, fascia, or gutter backs are disturbed during tear-off, replacing or realigning gutters prevents rerouting problems after the roof is new. If gutters are young and properly pitched, resetting hardware may be enough. We spell out both paths in the written scope.
