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.

Together with their gutter guard installation service, LeafFilter also repairs and installs gutters themselves. This all-in-one approach makes hiring LeafFilter more convenient since customers don’t have to deal with multiple contractors to address their gutter performance issues.

We have had ours for two years. Gutters leak and we still have to get out a ladder and clean all the debris off of the guards. Where is the safety for homeowners that you advertise???? Most of the time the water just runs over the top and washes out the ground below which has created new issues. When we called to have issues resolved we just got a runaround. Gave up after the first year. Just an FYI - If you sign a contract agreeing for the work stated on it and some of that work does not get done for whatever reason....do not expect a refund. WAY OVER PRICED for how poorly they work.

If you want a company who will rip you off, look no further! The salesman did his job perfectly. Sold me on a "great product." The day the installation came, the crew that showed up was spanish speaking and only one person spoke english. Very little at that. They proceeded to ask me if I had already signed a contract with leaf filter because on the side they could cut me a better deal. I told them I had so they left! They did not even start to do the work. They came back later that day and started work on the house. It was awful trying to get them to repair all the rotten wood that leaf filter said they would repair in the first place! They were very unprofessional. It took several days... Read More

Installed last year. This year the catkins or tassels from my oak trees are covering the "leaf filters". Have been accumulating for a couple of weeks. Don't seem to blow off. Very disappointed.

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! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at support@leaffilter.com.

I really like your product and look forward to someday getting it installed for my house. I signed a contract (WDC02790) back in March 19, 2022. The salesperson, Darryl Featherstone, did a very thorough job explaining your system, taking notes of the existing gutter system in my house, took photos, and spoke with the installation supervisor over the phone, etc. I was sold as much on the LeafFilter product as I was on his enthusiasm and personality. It seemed all was in order when he left: I signed the contract with credit card info and the installation was scheduled for the following week, March 23. The night before the scheduled work, I got a phone message saying another... Read More

I’ll start my product review with Leaf-Filter’s sales person, Alex Elliot, as he was pleasant, but with a used-car salesman approach, which I somewhat expected when it involves expensive home improvement products. I was forced to contact Alex the next day to discuss why he only gave me a 5 percent senior discount, not your nationally advertised 10 percent senior discount, and it took me saying cancel my order before he agreed to provide me with the 10 percent senior discount. The next issue arrived when I received a phone call at 8:30am the day before the scheduled installation date, and was asked if they could install the Leaf-Filter product a day early, and told him, yes, but please call...

These leaf filters prevent leaves from filling and clogging open gutters, but they create their own clogging problem. If you have common roofing shingles with embedded grit, these leaf filters will clog with grit from the shingles as they age from sun and rain and flow down the roof onto the leaf filter micro mesh filters. If you have smooth, sheet metal roof covering you wouldn't have this problem. If you have several trees that shed small leaves (such as live oak trees) they lodge and accumulate on the surface of the Leaf Filter screen and block water from flowing through the fine mesh. Dirt and dust run-off from shingle roofs, along with roof shingle grit will be trapped on the... Read More

These gutters work great in warm weather. In the cold winters snow gets on them, they get wet and turns to ice. The ice buildup puts stress on the gutters and leaks over the gutters.

Thank you for your feedback. LeafFilter is installed with hidden structural hangers secured directly into your fascia board, preventing debris, snow, and ice from weighing down your LeafFilter system or causing gutters to sag. If you have any questions or concerns regarding your system, please do not hesitate to call us at 800-749-4566, or email us at support@leaffilter.com.

I met with with Jeff {sales rep} today and he explained everything from top to bottom. Jeff gave me a very competitive price for replacing a few damaged gutters, and replacing the old leaf protection system with their new #1 rated product called Leaf Filter. The best part is they are starting tomorrow morning barring any unusaul weather changes and it comes with a transferrable lifetime warranty. I would highly recommend at least meeting with Leaf Filter before deciding on another company.
