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.

After a full year of asking them to correct the system, nothing is resolved. Adding to Gloria T's comments below, the system overflows where a roof valley drains into the system. Water overshoots the mesh and pours over the gutters. True the gutters do not clog up. They don't because the Leaf Filter system will not allow water to enter the gutters in certain situations. In essence the Leaf Filter is the clog.

The guys turns up around mid day and worked till 07.00pm to install the 230 odd feet of my gutter filter No complaints on the work done but I have to say there were three things that left me a little unsatisfied. There cleaned out the gutters but just dropped all the pine needles and oak leaves and shingle gravel on the ground around the house. They left 2 large black plastic bags full of the bits not used or trimmed form the gutter Gard. and all the cardboard boxes they came in. I now have to somehow get this to the local dump as the trash pickup folks wont take it. Despite two calls to the Customer service assuring me they would take care of... Read More

Your LeafFilter may not allow debris into gutters, but it does NOT prevent debris from collecting on top, causing runoff down side of house and over top, washing out mulch and spreading over sidewalks.

I got these "Gutter Guards" last week" . This week it rained and the Gutter Guards did very little good, the water came cascading down almost like it always had. I've been calling the company DAILY all week, and to date no one has returned may call or been out to see what the problem is.

i have a problem with water in the valleys of my house an i talked to two of your service reps James Watson and Ryan Bishop who informed me that they would replace the micro mesh with a larger mesh so that the water would stop overflowing my gutters and coming into my house. .Ryan promised me that James would do this today or tomorrow .Given that this successfully addresses the problem than I fully recommend this product to all with leaf problems!

This is the worst leaf guard. After two years the mesh separated from the gutters and the silicon pealed away. Calls to the installer were never addressed. A resent wind storm here in Maine(2017) ripped the mesh completely away from the gutters on the front side of the house.

Price a little higher than I wanted to pay, but they were on-time, did a great installation in a day's time, and have made my gutters maintenance free. To think I almost went for LeafGuard. I have had the system for 8 months now, and it works beautifully. Keep up the great work.
