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 Leaf Filter install gutters leak like a sieve. The inspector came out and said they were installed wrong. Second crew came out and did $8000 worth of damage to my house after going back-and-forth. Leaf Filter‘s insurance is going to pay so they say I’ve asked repeatedly to have to gutters take him off so I could have my house fixed the roof shingles two layers have to come off two rows, the facia and drip edges have to be replaced. They never sent anybody. Cheyenne stagger wall refuses to help me in anyway all I want at this point is my $7500 refunded. I do not want this company working on my house ever again.

We had new gutters installed about a month ago. Since then when it rains hard we have streams pf water running down behind the gutters at the back and the side of the house. The installation crew showed up late in the day and it was dark before they finished. A repair man came out two weeks ago and he said he could see daylight between the gutters and the house. He said most of the job needs to be redone. Since then we haven't heard anything. When we bought the gutters we were told if they leak we would get out money back. It's time to get our back since we are going to have to fix the gutters.

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.

The product is defective. Their warranty is deceptive and useless. They guarantee your gutter won’t clog, because they know their filter on top of your gutter does clog, preventing anything from getting through the mesh, including the rain water. The water then pours over the gutter everywhere causing home damage. They do not remove the filter, refund money, or do anything else when you complain. They cut off contact. They just settled a class action lawsuit against them which details how the product is defective, how Leaffilter engages in false and deceptive advertising, and knowingly defrauds customers. Read it, it tells you everything that you need to know, the truth. Don’t go by most... Read More

Beware of Leaf Filter - Looking for gutters? Whatever you do, DO NOT user Leaf Filter. I have lived here for 24 years and have had gutters the entire time. My gutters were not drilled into the drip edge ever. I have a picture but cannot post here with my roof completely ripped off with my old non-leaf filter gutters. I decided to replace ALL my gutters with new LF gutters since my house had been completely remolded. The LF people came out, did my installation. They missed an entire window area. They updated the price which was already $600.00 above the competitors to another $340.00. When they finished the installation, they asked me for an amount. I gladly paid. The next day, the sales...

I signed a contract with leaf filter on 8/26/22 and it was installed shortly thereafter. I have an awning which covers a small porch and a larger patio from Spring to Fall. The awning was in place when the salesman inspected my gutters and was in place when the leaf filter was installed. At those times no one told me that there would be leaking of rain water on my porch and /or my patio when it rained. ( My awning never leaked before the leaf filter was installed.) I complained several times about this problem and repairmen came and installed metal barriers to try to contain the rain water in the gutters but to no avail. My porch and/or my patio are always wet each time it rains, which... Read More

I’m not one to leave reviews BUT I will. Good review- professional, fast service Bad review- mislead from the beginning. You are head to believe the product that you receive is serving that NO CLOGGED GUTTERS with that being said, make sure that the price being quoted to you IS FOR THAT!!! because if not you will be like me and get your beautiful aluminum gutters that they promote WITH NO LEAF GUARD like you think. You will get the Basic gutters that you can get for a better price from a local company that you will have to physically clean every so often to prevent that damage that they speak of causing damage to your roof. I’ve learned this just recently and of course the hard... Read More

I got work done by Leaffilter. Problems and some one came and said they'd get someone by to fix it. Heard nothing so called a week later and was told he reported back that he fixed the problem. I said no and wanted someone local to call me. Called many times and can't get any one locally to call me. Finally after many calls and no return calls someone came to my door and tried to fix the problem and it looks like crap. This is a large company and they are non-responsive and do crap work.

Hi, I had Leaf Filter install about 6 months ago. Everything was fine till now. Every seam, where the 6-foot filter section on top of the gutter meets another section, leaks water over the gutter and causes a constant drip, drip below each seam. Had a service guy tell me that the system was installed properly and for me to get a pressure washer to clean the gutters. Now the reason I had spent the$ 3,122.00 to do this was so I didn't have to go up on the ladder anymore but was sadly disappointed. I might have just as well saved the money and, since I have to go up the ladder anyway, just cleaned the leaves out of the gutter. The design of this system is far less than the perfect system...
