LeafFilter Gutter Guard Review

Started in 2005 in a home basement, LeafFilter Gutter Protection has since grown into one of the nation’s leading home improvement companies. From one office in Hudson, Ohio LeafFilter now maintains many offices across the United States and Canada.  

LeafFilter offers gutter guard systems that are worry-free. The company boasts that customers never have to clean their gutters again after installation. The company’s signature product is a completely sealed system that prevents leaves and debris from entering.

LeafFilter has been featured by multiple publications and has received numerous awards and recognition from professionals and consumer agencies. The company has since been named one of the top remodelers by Qualified Remodeler Magazine and Remodeling Magazine.

Features and Services  

LeafFilter’s gutter guard is composed of two main parts, a supporting frame and an ultra-thin mesh material that prevents leaves and other debris from entering your gutter system. The guards are assembled on top of customers' existing gutter system and do not affect the roofline in any way.

Typically, micromesh gutter guards require installation under the home’s first row of shingles. This can cause rainwater runoff because the gutter guard’s pitch would depend on the slope of the roof. Furthermore, by installing gutter guards under your roof, you can void your roof manufacturer’s warranty. LeafFilter gutter guards are not installed under the roof. They are designed with an 11-degree pitch which has been proven to be the perfect angle for maximum water collection and debris clearance.

LeafFilter first cleans and realigns your gutters and downspouts. The company then seals and preps gutters, and reinforces them with internal aluminium hangers, screwng durable 1 ½ inch wood screws directly to the fascia board to stabilize them. Technicians then secure the gutter guards.

LeafFilter’s micro-mesh gutter guards come with a lifetime, transferable warranty. Homeowners may register their warranty online by registering their personal information and product purchase. Clients can also download a copy of their warranty or get an extra copy through email.

Highlights

• 275 micron (about .007 inches) mesh openings, smallest of the guards we reviewed 
• Structural hangers that go from the front of the gutter into the fascia board to give extra support to the gutter system
• Includes end caps to prevent animals from nesting

Full Gutter System Checkup

Before installing its gutter guards, a LeafFilter installer, who is trained in the company’s three-step installation proces,s will inspect your gutter system. Based on the findings, the installer will replace or fix damaged parts prior to installation. Since LeafFilter’s gutter guards are made out of PVC, they will not rust or corrode.
