Overall Rating: 5 / 5 (Excellent)

LeafFilter installs its own products and exercises a high degree of quality control, which may be missing in third-party installations.

As a full-service gutter company, the LeafFilter team comes prepared to provide gutter replacement and repairs in addition to installation. Its patented gutter guards come in a variety of colors and materials and are backed by a lifetime warranty.

Since so many factors affect the pricing of gutter guards, LeafFilter is not able to provide a generalized pricing comparison. It does, however, offer free quotes which can be requested online. Consumers are advised to compare specific estimates from LeafFilter against other competitors' estimates.

Specifications - 5 / 5

LeafFilter installs micro mesh guards that seal the open tops of gutters while allowing water to pass through. The mesh is made of surgical-grade stainless steel, which is renowned for its corrosion and rust resistance. Plus, its body is made of uPVC, which is a common material in element-facing products like doors and windows.

LeafFilter gutter guards do not mount under roof shingles but instead are anchored to the gutters themselves, which preserves customer roof warranties.

Together with their gutter guard installation service, LeafFilter also repairs and installs gutters themselves. This all-in-one approach makes hiring LeafFilter more convenient since customers don’t have to deal with multiple contractors to address their gutter performance issues.

Pricing and Warranty - 5 / 5

Pricing varies from home to home, as the LeafFilter team takes into account several factors including the size, style, and condition of the customer's gutters. Because of this, the company does not publish its prices online.

The company does offer free estimates which can be requested online. After completing the online form, a LeafFilter representative will contact you to provide an estimate. Since there are so many variables that affect price, consumers are advised to compare prices on house-specific estimates.

Beginning to feel as though we have been scammed. We received the sales pitch and drank the kool-aid. “Superior product, guaranteed satisfaction, money back guarantee, warranty transfer, etc.”. We spent $7,000 for a system that does not work as advertised. During the first rain after installation we had rain pouring over the gutter line in multiple spots and leaks. We called for service and had to wait 2 weeks for June 16th as the service call date. I made arrangements to be home the entire day so as not to miss the technician. They never showed up and we did not get a call to reschedule. We have contacted customer service several times during the past few weeks as well as sent emails. We... Read More

I am not totally satisfied with LeafFilter gutter protection. Leaf Filter states you never have to clean your gutters again. Not true as we still have to get on a ladder to clean the debris off the top of the filters. Leaf Filter will only clean it for one year, after that they want $95

So after installation of new gutters and LeafFilter Gutter Protection, I left an outstanding rating. I am now amending that rating. The installation occurred on a Tuesday. It rained on Friday and water was dripping down between the gutter and the fascia board. I called customer service and set up an appointment for the following Monday between 1 pm and 5 pm. At 4:30 on Monday I again called customer service to confirm that the technician was still coming. I was told that the technician came on Sunday at 11 am. and that he cleared debris and installed splash guards. I told the customer service rep that I was home and that no LeafFilter technician came at that time. My neighbor's... Read More

Took gutters down. Got stopped for no permit. They removed gutters and got a stop work order, From my city for no permit. Been three weeks no gutters . Know my basement took on water from heavy down pour, and no gutters. The asshole from customer service service tells me. I can't cancel because of the contract. They have so many days before the install. What install? I had better protection before they showed up. The butt head at the 800 # pissed me off

Just had my back porch guard installed today. Tried to register for warranty but the website was not for warranty. I called only to learn that what the salesman had told me was not correct starting with plastic instead of metal; no lifetime warranty that if it clogs I would have to pay a service call after a year. I was told if I sold my house it would transfer, not so. Then the woman cut me off phone. The installer was very good. Hopefully once it rains I can see how well this product works. Unfortunately it cost me I would say twice as much as I had paid a few years ago for 32 feet. I am on a fixed income therefore wanted this fixed correctly. The reviews I had read was on... Read More

What good is a warranty if you have to pay a service charge every time there is a problem? There is an area where the water runs over the gutter instead of going into the gutter. The water ends up going into my air condition unit if the rain is heavy. Very disappointed with this expensive product.

Oh, how I wish I had read these comments before tossing my money out the window. You people should be ashamed, But I suspect you have no idea the meaning of the word. YOU ARE A SCAM! I saved several months to have my gutters replaced. I am 78 and still have a decent mind, but I was pressured and went for this crap. The rain does not go in the gutters but right over them so the gulley created is a few inches further out on the ground. My house is a ranch style, about 1,800 sq. ft., and I was charged over $2,600.00. Again, shame on you. I will be contacting the BBB and the Consumer Affairs Office of the State of Tennessee.

We had LeafFilter Gutter Protection installed August 2020. May 2021 the tops of our gutters are packed with seeds and helicopters from the maple tree. We may not have to clean the gutters but we are going to have to go up the ladder and try and get the seeds and helicopters off the roof edge before they start rotting away. Yes, we don't have to clean the inside of the gutters but now we have to clean off the tops. Very disappointed.
