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.

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.

I have had a job started for 13 days now. They do not have the equipment to finish it and will not pay to rent the equipment or take responsibility for their salesman not giving them the correct information on my home for them to be prepared to do the work as promised or to say they could not do it. The company will not return my call to their service department. The sales man returned my first call the day after it was started and nothing since. The installer is only able to do what he is contracted for I am told. I did put a google review up and then today the reply was they wanted to try to determine the issue I have and take care of it. Told me to call a number which was the same...Read More

We had the LeafFilter system installed last year and we have to day we are dissatisfied with the product. IT does not work well in the North country. The water freezes when it hits the mesh. Major ice build up. It streaks black lines on the face of the gutter. Do to the oval screw holes in the guard. Looks terrible. the company spoke person states they will not clean the gutter face. The guard does not stay flat after a few hot months in Mn. Looks very bad from the ground. I will say I have no leaves IN the gutter. There is dirt and roof particles that stay on the screen. Hate to see it in three or four years from now.. WILL the company come out and clean that stuff off the gutter? ...Read More

I see from reading the reviews that many are complaints about this system. After having this installed, the debris now gathers between the screen enclosure and the Leaf Filter installation. It is impossible to blow this out with a hose and must be removed with pressure. Also, the debris collects on top of the screen enclosure, the pool patio and the pool chairs. A total mess. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS TO ANYONE AND TRULY REGRET THAT I HAD THIS DONE!!

Very pleased with our sales person, the install techs and the product! Time period between first contact and a call from sales was a little slow.

After NINE YEARS a very shady part of the gutter screen system developed a moss build-up, water could no longer pass through and an overflow condition happened. I called the service department and a service truck arrived, assessed the problem and replaced the clogged screens. No more problems. The service was NO CHARGE!!! Thanks for standing behind your products. AFTER NINE YEARS!!!

This was my first venture into gutter systems, and I can say when they are installed and glued correctly they work excellent. This review is not about the product but about the service to expect when you work with LeafFilter. Expect a hard sell, the salesman will insult you if you want to get a second opinion or if you want to wait to talk it over with your spouse. - this is where the discounts start piling on. In my case the first amount quoted verbally was $9,000 but after debating to kick the guy out of my house the price started dropping down to 7k them 4k and finally down to 3.25k for the install. The more insults and insinuations you endure the lower the price will go. At least t...Read More

Had Leaf Filter install two days ago, The workmanship doesn’t look good, I was told by Sales, that they only use Leaf Filter employees no contractors, that a crew will be out with the supervisor check in on them, that didn’t happen, one man showed up a contractor, I can see it protruding at the front of the house, he also did everything from on top of the roof, leaving sheet metal screws in the driveway, contacted Sales back and his comment said they had to use contractors that they don’t use employees, asked for a foreman to come out and check the work, said he be out in two days in the morning, I waited called Sales , He stated they would come out the next day, basically a no call n...Read More

I just had a LeafFilter installation. In my experience, the installation was botched, they did nothing that they said they would do in terms of thorough cleaning, inspection, sealing of leaks or checking to ensure that gutters were pitched properly. They disturbed the roofing shingles and have caused issues for my roof warranty. I called on installation day to raise issues and was treated like an idiot. "We don't use water because its messy." Water in gutters is messy? They used some local gutter cleaning company to slap them on as fast as possible. They have promised to send an inspector out; never happened. Never got call backs. Just started posting on social media and they have offered...Read More

WORST COMPANY EVER!!! Yes, their sales pitch was "over the top". Showed pictures of famous people who "vouched" for their company, told glorious stories about all the "good press" they've had. Top ratings from the BBB. Boy, what a snow job!!! The first heavy rain we had, the water came cascading over the gutter because of the way they installed the gutter under the roofing. Now we have to worry about the heavy rains pouring down and causing damage to the soil, which in turn could damage the foundation of our home. If you haven't signed the contract yet, DO NOT SIGN IT!!! You might as well burn your money, at least you'll get some warmth from it. And as far as customer service...ther...Read More
