The sales pitch is better than the actual product. 1st rainfall and the filter clogged with a handful of grit and pine straw. The brochure clearly states filter will never clog due to its self cleaning properties. This is NOT the actual reality. But the warranty stated only the gutter clogging was covered. So we will see if they honor their statements and written guarantees. I am waiting on BBB case to help get a refund. So they have a sales pitch that is dishonest. And i was told they install their own products. No dealing with 3rd party. I had independent contractor install filter. Not happy at all with the product as I was sold I would never have to climb a ladder. This is clearly... Read More
Called and agreed on a definite date and time to come for inspection but never showed up ,they didn't even call to explain or reschedule .unprofessional attitude may be they are fully booked and too busy but that doesn't give them the excuse to let people wait for nothing

We recently started investigating gutter guards for our home, and found that we could purchase the materials for self-installed high quality stainless steel mesh guards for about $600. We decided to see what it would cost to have someone do the installation on our 1-story house, with all the gutters at about 8 feet off the ground, easily reachable by stepladder. The LeafFilter person came out to the house, did some measurements, and then gave us a quote for $17,800. I asked how long it would take, and he said they could do it in a day with a crew of 2 or 3. We said that was much higher than we expected or could pay, so after he asked if either of us was over 65 (we are), he said “How... Read More

We appreciate your cooperation, as well as the opportunity to resolve this for you, Josh.
LeafFilter's technology is superior to all other gutter covers I've dealt with in 50 years. The secret is the surgical steel micro mesh that lets water through, but almost nothing else. The LeafFilter representative knows his product very well, is proud of it, and knows that LeafFilter has the installation teams to install them properly. I've tried many other brands over the years, but I wish I'd started with LeafFilter.

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a great review. Our team loved working with you. We are grateful to have you as a LeafFilter customer.
So unfortunately, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, however, we have to understand and acknowledge that every customer's experience will be different at any given time. I am not sure why this company chose my Mom to rip off but that was the case and I am here to tell other people about it. This man (Tyler Hughes) came from PA and made a deal with my Mom in regards to installing gutters on our home and unfortunately, I was not home at the time to get all the details. However, when she called me and told me about it, it sounded a bit suspicious (too high of a price!!!) but unfortunately, she decided to go along with it. It wasn't until I got home and got the full details of the... Read More

"limited lifetime warranty" that will cost $95 every time someone has to come to clean an accumulation of leaves off the gutter guards. The splash guards installed are nothing but leaf catchers. The last tech who came said he couldn't remove them as that would "void the warranty". It's a vicious cycle. Worst $2000 I ever spent.

We understand that being a homeowner comes with many responsibilities and the last thing you want to do is clean your gutters, Kathie. LeafFilter is considered "low-maintenance" because like any exterior part of your home there is some level of upkeep required. We do charge for services not outlined in your warranty. Normally, we don't negotiate these costs; however, if you would like to provide additional details or discuss further, please call 800-749-4566.
LeafFilter was installed 5 days ago. I must say I was surprised that the "team" of installers I was expecting turned out to be 1 man. He was very professional and competent. It was very cold and windy that day. He worked with very few breaks for 8 hours and never complained. It took much longer than I expected, but I was not dissatisfied because the installer had to go up and down the ladder a lot and back and forth to the truck and it was brutally cold! I felt very bad for him and I did give him hot chocolate and freshly baked cookies!

We are happy to hear you had an awesome experience with LeafFilter. Thank you for trusting the nation’s largest gutter protection company!
We recently had Leaf Filter Installed 2 weeks ago. $12k!!! I wish I had spent the money on a different gutter installation company because this has been a post-sale nightmare. Since we had the gutters installed (by some fly by night subcontractor operating under leaf filters name) we have opened TWO support calls within 2 weeks because of the very poor installation done by Leaf Filters alleged subcontractor who was clearly inexperienced due to his shady installation habits. First example, we requested two short gutters to be installed with down spouts that captures 2nd story rain water. Our previous down spouts were great to have because they directed flowing water away from our house... Read More

Very, very disappointed in the product, workmanship, and follow up service provided by this company. They failed to seal gutter seams and the rain water flows completely over the screens in multiple locations defeating the purpose of having gutters. I would strongly recommend staying away from this company.

Gutters overflow, still have to clean them off. Someone came over after my first complaint and said something needed to be changed and that someone would call. It's been a month and no one has called. Why wasn't it done correctly the first time. I strongly do not recommend leaf fitter
