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.

Awful company! Go elsewhere. We had Leaf Filter install guards 2 1/2 years ago and have had them come out 3 times to fix front gutter guards. We now have an issue with our back one and when it rains it is overflowing onto our deck up against the sliders causing mold. We called and they were supposed to come out in July. They called to cancel and rescheduled for almost 4 weeks later, AND THEY NEVER CAME NOR CALLED!!! We called the office, emailed and also left a message with the operations manager. To date not one person from the company has even made an attempt to call us. We spent good money and their service is awful!! They do not do good work and are not dependable. Consumers ...Read More

They arrived when they scheduled. Installed 2 seamless gutters, one 51 foot and one 35 foot. No problems with installation, clean up and removal of old gutters.

I wanted to get a new gutter so I would not have a leak on my front porch, I got with leaf filter. They came over to give me an estimate. The estimate ended up being $2000. They told me there was not a filter for a 4 inch gutter. So I had to get a gutter and a filter for the $2000. I asked if I could just get a gutter and they said I could for $743. I agreed to that. When the guy came to install he was alone and I asked him if he could do it himself. Thinking a 42 foot gutter would be hard for one man. He said he could do it. After a while I checked on him and he was working on putting up a filter. I told him I didn't ask for a filter. I stopped working with them and got a gu...Read More

They were supposed to arrive in the am, showed up at 2;00 pm. One had a LOT of trouble with his ladder while slamming it into the front yard several times. I asked him if anything was wrong and he said he had trouble adjusting it. There was a lot of heavy hammering so much that it knocked a few items off the interior walls. I picked up approximately 30 screws that were pretty obvious after they left. The next day I picked up approximately 30 more screws around a tree that was close to their truck but no where near the house. They removed my clothesline and left it, I found it two days later and reinstalled it.

We had an appointment for one new gutter and guards put on all our gutters. The installers showed up with no new gutter to install but did install the guards. They were professional and quick. However, they said they would return one of the next two days. We stayed at home expecting them. No show and no word. We called and scheduled for a Monday. We made a quick return from an out of town trip to be here. They did not show or call. We rescheduled for today between 9 and 11, changed to 10 to 12. At 12:30 I called and was told they were checking and I should expect a call back by the end of the day tomorrow!!

I have scheduled my appointment with your company 3 times and still can't get anyone to show up on time. This my third appointment today, your installers were suppose to show up between 8-12. NO SHOW YET AGAIN! I called customer service and the young lady told me she would call me back, NEVER DID. I called her back only to be told that she left a message and the installers have 24 hours to answer the message. WHAT! 24 hours? I'm suppose to get my leafilters installed today!!! Horrible company to deal with and I'm sure this is how you will be treated if you have warranty issues also. I'm pretty sure we'll end up canceling and going with another company.

I agree with the comments below. Leaf filter did not install my gutters with a slant, so that gravity would pull the water down and water overflows from the back side of the gutter onto my house. Leaf filter told me there was a problem with my roof, which is not true. As the messages below state, I am not getting a response from the service department. Georgia R.

The gutters have not been right since they were installed. We have never had an issue with the gutters overflowing, and now every time it rains there is a waterfall all around the house. We have called repeatedly to have someone come out and fix them, and it has yet to be corrected.

DO NOT USE LEAF FILTER FOR METAL ROOFS On 23rd of June 2020 I signed a contract with Cliff Washburn of Leaf Filter. He said they may have to trim the metal roof to ensure water capture. On 26th of June 2020 the installers put the gutters up and installed the filters. Over the weekend it rained and the water overshot the gutters. The gutters was installed 2-2.5” too low. On Monday 29th of June I texted Cliff Washburn and Cliff said please call the main office number on the contract and they would dispatch a technician to fix any issues. Thanks for reaching out. On 29th of June 2020 I texted Cliff two more time and called the office for him with no response. 6th of June 2020 I calle...Read More

I had leaf filters installed in 2018. One year ago they made a service call to unclog and repair a leak. I now have another clogged gutter and have been trying for FOUR weeks to get a response from them and a service call. The messages left on 3 different numbers have been unanswered. When I finally connected the person who was supposed to call back never did. They clearly do NOT back up their product or warranty.
