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.

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.

Extremely overpriced at over $10,000 (another customer negotiated his down to $4k...others thru big box stores are 30 percent of that) but I had little choice finding no one else on short notice I do plan to protest to every authority except the useless BBB

Had a salesmen come to my house at 7pm on a friday night. I agreed to have gutters installed. first they wanted $5900 for two 30ft gutters. I said no then he got it down to $2316. The next day I decided against it and called the company twice and left voicemails but wasnt comfortable with that so I caslled again and spoke to an actual person canceling the order. I told them do NOT install gutters on my house. The next day(sunday) I left my house about noon and when I got home about 3p the gutters were already up. I contacted the company several times and no one seemed to know what was going on. this went on for a month and a half. the salesman also stopped by to take pictures at one... Read More

Run, do not use. We just had them out. Apparently there was a miscommunication with salesman and we did not get what we thought we were paying for. No diagram was included and did not know until installer told us. Salesperson denied what we agreed on and Boss man never called to ask about issues. Only saving Grace is that the installer was honest guy.

HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE I had my Leaf Filter Gutter Guards installed in 2021. They were installed improperly and I had a long standing leak in my roof that resulted in the sheet rock coming down in my finished garage. Leaf Filter fixed the system and took down the sheet rock, the service manager Tyronn was in my ceiling removing sheetrock. They said to send them my contractors bill for putting in new sheet rock and repairing the hole. Tyronn said payment would go out September 15th. Leaf Filter still hasn't paid the invoice and no one from Corporate Customer service or Raleigh service will call me back. I would not recommend Leaf Filter; they are highly disorganized and the company... Read More

Keeps out the leaves but quickly gets clogged with sand and grime from the roof. Becomes ineffective when it rains. Dumping all the water onto my patio. Literally preventing the drain from draining. I would love to send a video.

We understand that being a homeowner comes with many responsibilities and the last thing you want to do is clean your gutters. LeafFilter is considered "low-maintenance" because like any exterior part of your home, there is some level of upkeep required for optimal performance. While you may have to brush off any debris that doesn't blow off on its own - you won't have to clean your gutters out.

Leaf Guard is nothing but a joke. We’ve had it for nine years. They do not work anymore that came out and said that all the screens on the house need to be replaced twice then they sent out a supervisor that looked at the shop which does not have Leaf Guard and denied all of it. Do not trust this company..

Be Warned: If you have valley's on your roof, don't get this product. Pine needles and other debri will build up at the base of your valleys where they meet the gutters and the fine mesh on top of the gutters. The debri sits there and after a lot of rain fall, water pours over the gutters. This is the problem we have. After a lot of rain I have to go out and clean the pine needles and debri off of the mesh of the gutters. LF came out and put metal deflectors around the corners and this deflects needles and debri around the corners. This only lasts so long and I am up on a ladder again to clean the mesh off. Pay attention to your contract, line D, after a year you will pay a... Read More

I would never install these again. While the larger leaves blow over, smaller pollen.,roof pebbles,etc get stuck in the ridges and water pours over the gutters causing water to get into our basement. They did send someone to come and clean the filters but that will have to be done 2x a year.

These scums of the earth. Sell you over priced junk. Way over priced labor. Plus this junk won't last on windy days, I know caused I was charged $5000.00 for two 40ft. spouts. I could went to Lowes and got better stuff and install myself. Also beware of the Wells Fargo Bank. They are on it too.

Just signed my contract to have gutters installed. Reviews really alerted my guard. We will go ahead in three weeks and have the work done. HOWEVER, I will be right here at home. I have thought of way to test the flow of the rain water. I will spray water from my garden hose and see for myselfif it flows behind or over, deal is off. This test will be done before workers leave. According to Vermont laws as a customer who is not satisfied the contract is null and void.
