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.

Do not...I repeat..DO NOT go with the Leaffilter Gutter company. This is a scam company beyond anything I have ever seen. Salesman R. Appleton comes out and starts the offer at $9,000...by the end of the conversation it was down to $3500. Why? Why would that occur unless it is a upfront scam. I feel sorry for the older generation that would fall into this money trap. If anyone is reading this comment please take it to heart...this is a sham company that is ONLY wanting to take your money and leave you with a subpar product. AVOID at all costs!

He had to come back three times to fix the shingles on my roof after he installed it and then immediately it start overflowing in two different places as we get caught in the corners and I kept calling the company he never came back out never looked at it all‘s over the side of the house and six holes in around my foundation where the water hits if it’s raining really hard but still nobody came out, so I got tired of calling again I seen him at an event And I told them about my problem and they said to get out my contract and the call with the contract number because I had a...

I had leaf filer install their system on my existing gutters. I was told that by doing so, I had a lifetime warranty on my existing gutters and their filter. That apparently IS NOT TRUE. I had a issue after installation with a corner and they came back out and cut a piece away from my gutter and told me that should fix it but if not to call back. I did. But because of Covid they couldn't address it at that time. I finally called back as I figured "LIFETIME WARRANTY", giving them plenty of leeway to fix. Now they want me to pay to fix it. This Company doesn't honor their warranty So I Would Not Recommend them.

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. We do charge for services not outlined in your warranty. Normally, we don't negotiate these costs; however, if you would like to provide additional details or discuss further, please call 800-749-4566.

This company is a scam. After two years the product has deteriorated. Was expensive and the warranty is a Joke. There are nails driven into the existing gutter. The filter is cheap and has clogged up. The sales rep was slimey and I wished I had gone with my gut.

Avoid this at any cost. I rather suspect this problem might occur with any of the gutter guard products, but this is the one I got, based on these reviews so... Live in Michigan. 2-3 inch snowfalls are common. With this product, the snow builds up on the top of the gutter and as the snow on the roof melts, it backs up creating icicles and ice damming, the worst thing that can happen to a roof. They admit that this is the case with the product, but don't see it as a problem. I am trying to get the system removed but so far have only gotten the run around. Also the gutters were left tipped so that the end that should be the lower end is the higher end. They came out to straighten... Read More
