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.

love the product, service is horrible. if I had known about the service I would not have gone with leaffilter the company does not have a service person or office in Tulsa, okla. They come out of okla. city area, and it takes forever to get in touch with anyone who can help. I had problem with my guttering that has a dent that the water overflows into my flowers Chris with Leaffilter got me an estimate {which took several days and phonecalls} for $876.00. A local gutter company who is familiar with leaffilter will install new guttering in stead of fixing for $150.00. What is wrong with this? If you get in touch with a lady named Jennifer hang up. She likes to think she is the boss.... Read More

My Leaf Filter guards were installed in Feb. 2018. I had to have a new roof put on my house this past May. The roofers had to remove the filter guards before they started the job. Filters were taken off and placed on a tarp. This voided my warranty. When the roof was completed they replaced the gutter guards but they were not installed properly. I notified Leaf Filter that the guards needed to be readjusted. Jared and Mick are seasoned techs and did an outstanding job, especially considering the temperature was in the middle 90's. They cleaned up all the materials before they left and my warranty was reinstated , I am now a very happy camper. Job well done guys. I... Read More

LeafFilter does not work . about 10% of the water goes in the gutter and 90% just rolls off, the mesh is too dense & a green film also forms on it and clogs the mesh small holes. The leaf filter is the clog!

LEAF FILTER IS A SCAM COMPANY! If i could give less then zero review - i would. (lie #1) when i made the appt 4 the salesman to come out, i was told the estimate is good for a year. (lie #2) when the salesman came out-told me i could only get this price if i schedule on june 1, 2019 bc there was other jobs n the area (lie #3). sent out an untrained installer to my home. first thing he did was complain how far he had to drive for making no money bc it's a small job.(39 feet) was here less than 1 hour and damage my home beyond repair & even missed a gutter. next, they sent out a guy named leo telling me he is the supervisor(lie #4) he was disrespectful, rude, condescending and belittling....

Leaf Filter damaged my roof during installation January, 2019. Leaf Filter does not take responsibility for repair and or replacement. They send inexperienced contractors leaving the customer the task of filing a claim with the contractor’s insurance coverage or as Leaf Filter suggested, my homeowners insurance. Leaf Filter was made aware of the following: damage noted to slate composite tiles, debris remaining on my roof after the job was completed, debris in my yard and driveway, 2 flat tires verified as screws used during installation, unprofessional behavior from the sales rep to the executives. Jeff Beck; the Chief Operating Officer refuses our attempts to communicate with... Read More

I have had leaffilter on my gutters for three years and have called them back out to my house numerous times. I have sixteen trees in my yard. the guards do not have enough slope to let the leaves drop off,so the water runs over the leaves! The micro mesh is so fine that it clogs with fine debris and, according to leaffilter needs to be cleaned with a garden hose under pressure,getting dirt allover my siding. The last installer to come out, I never had the same person come out ,seems they all quit, told me they never should have sold the guards to me with the amount of trees I have ! Do not buy unless you want lots of problems.

Seems like the comments about the water washing over the collected debris are correct. It goes like a water fall, especially where there are valleys. Over a month ago I called them. Two weeks later they sent a rep. He cleaned the pollen and leaves off the surface and said that I needed a larger "valley" screen to prevent that from happening. He said that he would be back tomorrow or the next day. Two weeks later - still no show. I called them and they had no record of the problem. They set a date two weeks out to have a tech come out and do the fix. That morning the company called and had to reschedule for yet another week out. Recommendation - Don't use this company !! The...

I had Leaffilter guards installed recently and found everything to be a very pleasant experience. I was highly satisfied and recommend Leaffilter to anyone that wants to protect their gutters from clogging.

LeafFilter prevents debris from collecting in the gutter, but it's not maintenance free. The filter is a fine stainless steel mesh that was installed (right or wrong) horizontally along the top of the gutter instead of a slopping angle that would allow debris to roll off the top. Consequently debris will gather on top of the filter causing run-off down the side of your house. So you will still have to do some unexpected maintenance where debris build up is the heaviest. The problem isn't widespread.

Dishonest and high pressure sales tactics. Sales Rep was very rude in a text message to me later in the day when i declined to purchase. Installer came anyways, and partially installed their product. I had them remove, but they were unable to re install my original gutter guard prodcut and i now have damages to my gutters because of the install and then subsequent re install. I have contacted installation, corp office, upper management and have made many attempts calling, leaving voice mails and SM platforms for a resolution, but they will not call me back!
