I had a small job, but one that might be difficult due to shrubbery.
Annie Rosellini contacted me about an estimate, and came by on time and was very thorough with her explanation of the job estimate.
The price was very reasonable when including the discounts so I gave the go ahead.
Jason Zeeb came by the next day, worked his butt off, and did an excellent job.
I will be happy to refer Leaf Filter to anyone needing work done on their gutters.

Thank you for the wonderful review and for taking the time to share your feedback with LeafFilter. Our priority is customer service, and we are ecstatic that we met that mark! Customers like you make our job a pleasure.
I engaged Leaf Filter last year to install guards on the back of my home. I was told they would use their own employees when in fact they sub-contracted the work to a window contractor. I was told they would clean out all gutters and downspouts when in fact the downspouts remained clogged until I discovered they needed to be cleaned out long after the installer was gone. The installer came late in the afternoon and was attempting to install in the dark. I demanded he finish the next day. I like the product but was very disappointed in the installation.
i had the filters put on about three years ago and the installer said that he could not seal them and he would come back when it warmed up. He did not come back. I called the company and they sent the installer back out when it was too cold to seal them. The installer said he would come back again when it warmed up. He did not. I a now on my third winter and the seams leak and drip onto the sidewalks causing an ice build up and slip hazard.
My house looks like a waterfall from snow melting on my roof -- no other house in the neighborhood looks that way nor does anyone else have LeafFilter. My down spouts have little to no water in them -- all the melting snow is pouring over the gutters. I might as well have shingled over my gutters. With night temperatures dropping below freezing my sidewalks and patio are a sheet of ice when the sun goes down. It is VERY dangerous -- almost split my head open from a slip on the ice. How do I get these guards removed and get my money back?
We too were lied to by the salesman, he said the water issue we were having would be fixed by getting LeafFiller guards, WRONG. We had to pay a company who knew exactly why we were having a water issue, and in a couple hours it was fixed at a very fair price unlike LF Co. More expense on top of being over charged by LeafFiler Co. They put these white shields on each side of our front porch, this winter we had an ice storm which ice covered the filters, and water all over the front porch. The guards are damaged from the ice, and heavy snow coming off the roof. My husband with a heart issue had to use a ladder to reach up to get the ice off the filters. The back of our home has a...

Sales Person lied to get the sale. Shady sales tactics I thought those days were done. Company backed the salesperson and ignored are request for at least a discount. Being lied to by a person is my pet peave but to have a company that supports this is disturbing. I would really research this company and beware of shady tactics in the presentation. My wife asked the salesperson numerous times about what he was saying and he continued to back up something we nowfound out this company doesn't guarantee. Feel really crappy being lied to like that!
I signed the paperwork on Monday, Tuesday the crew showed up in the morning and by 1pm they were done. Everyone in the company I have dealt with was professional and understanding they were dealing with a woman having no knowledge of gutters. I was shown options and treated very well. I would recommend this product and company to anyone interested in protecting their home.

We are happy your gutters are clog free and that LeafFilter was able to help. Welcome to the LeafFilter family!
Leaf filter are the only ones I WOULD NOT BUY . IN THE WINTER TIME THEY WILL NOT LET WATER GO INTO THE GUTER. THEY A PICE OF AND ARE NOT WORTH THE MONEY I SPENT FOR THEM. YOU VCAN NOT GET YOUR MONEY BACK. I WOULD LIKE THEM TO BE TAKENOFF MY HOUSE AND MY MONEY RETURNED TO ME. 👀 DO NOT BUY THESE LEAF FILTERS AT ALL
This product is does not work. Snow/Ice form a barrier over the screen and melt from roof flows over the top and onto driveway/sidewalk where it refreezes and causes major ice hazard. 20 yrs in home w/o this product but got sick of cleaning our leaves in spring/fall so I went w/ LeafFilter. Big mistake. 20 yrs of not having ice hazards created by roof melt but now in 2nd winter and have to constantly chip ice off driveway/sidewalk below gutters. $3K+ down the drain. Will be biting the bullet and tearing this product out this spring. Do not buy LF.
Where my porch joins house there is a 45 degree angle. Leaffilter installers put a diverter in at each of these corners that extends about 12" to either side. At the end of the diverter water overflows the gutters. What should be done to avoid this issue? I have left messages for my salesman and at the office and not heard back.
