I have had LeafFilter for several years. I have had to have someone come and repair it every year and this year is no different. I need it either replaced or money back. I'm tried of having to call and no one return calls or send anyone until I've tried multiple times to contact them. The water comes down like a water fall. The debris lays on top of the gutter guard. The water is running down to the sidewalk into my basement. It seeps into the windows and is causing water damage.
We (my wife and I) have had Leaf Filter gutter guards installed on our house in August of 2018 we are very satisfied and just recently had 5 inch gutters and Leaf Filter gutter guards installed on our 20 foot by 24 foot garage on May 2, 2019 we were very satisfied with the two men from Fitz Construuuction (David and Ron) they are two very professional workers who did a fine job and were very sure that we were satisfied with the job when they were done. They took about and extra 45 minutes of work to make sure my side entryway door cleared the bottom of the newly installed gutter, it was a very close fit, but they worked until I was happy that the door cleared the bottom of the gutter.

Don’t buy Leaf Filter. Leaves and pine needles lay on top of filter and block water from flowing into gutter. Water from heavy rain runs over the filter and discharged over edge of gutter. Holes are too small to drain water from roof. Contractor was bad. Bent my gutters. I trusted them based on the salesman’s pitch. Cost too much. Still have to clean the trash that collects on the leaf filter cover. What a waste.
Worst investment we have made. Pine needles accumulate on filters to 4 inch in depth. Now we need to clean the screens. Ice buildup over edge of gutter melts with the Spring thaw leaving waterfall over the edge. Icicles formed on dripedge over the winter. Heavy rain was not accomodated, just cascading over the edges. DO NOT INVEST IN LEAF FILTER!!!!!!!!!!
I have had the worst experience with leafilter on my home.
I had them do both gutters and their guard. When they estimated the downspouts they channeled all the water from our main roof right over my back door and it constantly gets clogged causing a waterfall right over the back door. Several calls, and even a service tech came to the house and agreed I need an additional downspout. I even agreed to pay for it and cannot get the issue resolved.
While the product may be great, my experience is far from it. I would not recommend this product.

So the existing gutters on our home were, I believe, 3” k style gutters, I only know this because of the experience I had with this company. We were intrigued by the filter offered, especially when I heard it even blocked the roofing material. So I set an appointment. I was unable to be present. So my fiancé met with the salesman. We were interested in 5” gutters and the filter. $3600 roughly for 130 linear feet of gutter and filter. We were unaware there are multiple types of 5” gutters. I now know there are two types of 5” gutters. K style ogee which is dimensionally 5” wide up top, and Facia style which is 5” tall and in my opinion much more moder...Read More
slow about getting back with you. they got my money but nothing is done. the job is not done. I talked to sale person. he took my money. installer came out. he said it will cost more. so ok. but nobody called me back.
I don't know if they going to do the job . or just taking my money.
Wednesday: We will have to come back tomorrow because the salesman didn't properly annotate that you have hanging strap gutters on the main part of your roof. We need to get some different materials that we didn't bring because we didn't know you had this type of system.
Thursday: No one here and it was already 1 PM. I called the company and they apologized. The workman from the day before called me and said they would be out in a half hour. They followed through.
The workers started doing stuff for a few hours and then knocked on door - I assumed because they were done - I was wrong.
I was informed they were stopping work. One of the work men stated "They didn't train us on how to...Read More
The only reason I don't give LeafFilter a "one" star is that I lucked out. My installer (obviously an independent handyman ) was very efficient and did a nice neat job. My problem is a "Dangerous " condition formed because of it's product. Ice sickles form along the front edge of my gutters, drip ice/water, and form ice on my driveway, porch and sidewalk. This will eventually cause foundation damage of the entire house. This is extremely a liability issue if someone falls. I've made two calls and working on my second letter. So far another "handyman" came, saw my concerns and "Took Pictures". So far, no remedy offered.
This is my 100% HONEST experience:
Horrible company if they do any damage to your roof, they avoid any blame like the plague. Do not install if you have older gutters or an older roof!!!!
I have never had a leak in my roof in 10 years. Yes, there were past leaks from long ago, that were fixed when the current roof was put on long ago. But nothing since. Until Leaf-Filter came along that is.
While discussing the project with them, I said they may need to lower the gutters but they said a 'drip edge' would solve that problem. I said fine, you are the experts, right?
They said their quote was good for a year, and I said I’ll purchase now but we can install later in the s...Read More
