Our 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.

I had a salesman Robert Devries come and give me an estimate. Robert was very nice and informative about the product. I gave a 2.5 rating bc the price to me was extremely high for the small amount of gutters that needed to be replaced. I did not go with LF for that reason, could justify spending that much money since I don’t plan on staying in this home long term. I will give 5 stars to Robert Devries though!

Sorry to hear your overall experience was less than 5-stars. I'm sure Robert mentioned by keeping your gutters clog-free, you can prevent costly home damages. LeafFilter is also backed by a lifetime, transferable warranty and is the nation’s largest gutter protection company. For these reasons, we hope that you see gutter protection as a valuable investment on your home and a 5-star product. Thanks again for your review, we will be sure to share your review to Robert!

I also was pressured into trying to sign a contract the same day. I keep telling the salesperson that I was not going to make a decision the same day. Price went from 6700.00 to 2500.00 and keep saying nobody was making any money at the 2500.00 price which I couldn't believe. Don't like there pressuring sales tactics!!!

The first thing I want to say about this company is simple, do NOT trust them. When I requested my free estimate, I didn't realize I would be pressured into making my decision to purchase before the sales person left. When the person showed up I figured he would do some measurements and based on his findings give me a quote. Instead he told me " he could not give me the quote unless he went thorough his presentation" which I found very odd. I also told him I was not going to sign or buy anything that evening. He didn't care, he gave his presentation which I didn't care to hear because no matter he said, in the end I was still going to say NO. This is the part that got me. After the...Read More

This company is dishonest. My quote went from 4900 to 3500 to 2000 to 1500 to 1425 to finally 1275 for a 1460 sq ft house. It’s a numbers game to them I’m sure someone bites at the high quotes. But I can’t give them my money. Thieves

Leaf filter claims are false and their customer service is horrible. The guard/filter became clogged after 2 years of installation. It happened in several spots. The clogged spots were where the screws anchored the screen. The rain poured from the roof over to of the filter and down the front of the gutters. Over a period of 4 years they became clogged. After that, every time it rained hard, the water from the roof went over the filter/ guard and not through it like it should. This ruined 2 flowerbeds by uprooting several plants. We asked customer service and the local office for help. They didn’t do anything. They sent a technician, he stated that the filter is clogged and we would have...Read More

Installation was shoddy. Not pleasing to the eye. Gutters were not sealed and screws laying on the ground and driveway. My wife had a flat tire with one of the screws in the tire. No one bothered to check on the install after it was completed.
