LeafFilter Gutter Protection is one of the largest home improvement companies in the United States. 

LeafFilter installs a micromesh screen made from surgical-grade stainless steel (which neither rusts nor corrodes) to protect your gutter from leaves, dirt, and other debris. The mesh is 275 microns fine, so LeafFilter claims that not even shingle grit will get through. 

Additionally, LeafFilter uses a frame made from durable uPVC material that will never warp or deteriorate. So, whether you are dealing with a hot, humid summer in Florida or a below-freezing winter in Michigan, LeafFilter’s gutter cover will maintain its structural integrity no matter the weather. 

The last piece of LeafFilter’s three-piece gutter system is the structural hangers. The hangers are internal and securely fastened into the fascia board.

The Good

  • Guaranteed Debris Protection
  • Lifetime Warranty
  • Does Not Outsource Work
  • Installation Process

Guaranteed Debris Protection

LeafFilter boasts that its award-winning and patented technology is designed to keep everything out of your gutters (except for water). The micromesh screen is so fine that it keeps out dirt, pollen, shingle grit, and pine needles. 

Lifetime Warranty

Leaf Filter offers a lifetime warranty, covering any damage in need of repair. Leaf Filter stands by its product and maintains that its filters are the best in the industry. 

Does Not Outsource Work

LeafFilter takes pride in working with consumers throughout the entire process. This ensures that all gutter systems are designed and installed to the company’s highest standards and that all customers are receiving superior customer service. 

While some consumers don’t mind working with multiple companies, our research team has found that more consumers prefer to work with vertically integrated companies or companies that handle every aspect of the process. LeafFilter is a vertically integrated company, so you’ll never have to worry about coordinating multiple contractors and their schedules. 

Installation Process

LeafFilter’s installation process is a fairly simple one. To get started, a LeafFilter technician will come by your home (for free) and determine the best solution. Once that is complete, you’ll schedule a day for the technician to come back and remove your old gutter guards and install new ones if necessary. 

Then LeafFilter will clean and prepare your current gutter system for installation. This includes removing debris and making minor repairs such as properly sealing seams, correcting pitch, and looking for any other signs of damage. 

The final step is to secure the LeafFilter to your gutter. This process should only take a few hours (but it depends on your home and situation).

Wendy Trenchard Albany, NY

Sales person LIED about my existing gutters causing roof damage….and that Leaf Filter installers would fix the existing roof damage. When installer came out he said there was no roof damage and even if there was, he would not be able to fix it. Then got Sales Manager Aaron on the phone where he went along with what his sales person said about me having roof damage when he has never seen my property and when I told him that his installers said I didn’t have any roof damage then Aaron backpeddled on what he had said. Then he continued to insult me on the phone with interrupting me and talking over me. Then I called Corporate to complain about all of it and got Zach, Corporate Installation Mgr of NE and he called me (2) days later to say that I would be getting a $600 credit for my troubles and now it is (20) days later and still don’t have the credit. Everyone lies and don’t do what they say they will and rip people off.

Leaf Filter Installers Damaged Property Installer damaged property during install. Salesman Nathan wrote work order WRONG/Not as Discussed, so result extra work I received Broken Floodlight. I witnessed Installer Josh STANDING on staircase hand rail. Now broken from wall. I have BEFORE pictures (Was tree damage insurance claim) and damaged done by installer. I can not rent property with liability of someone falling from handrail on 2nd story. I am senior depending on my rental income. Leaf filter made "NO SHOW" appointment of so called manager to view damage. Then requested photo's of damage which were sent. Making it clear that they HAVE NO INTENTION OF MAKING IT RIGHT. BUYER BEWARE, only so so product.( Alum. seemless gutter is wavy after thermal warm up) Installers are SUB CONTRACTED sub par, probably WITHOUT LIABILITY INSURANCE. Now negotiating with Discover to dispute payment. BE SURE TO INSPECT ANY WORK PERFORMED BEFORE PAYING. I failed to do so. Will update review if Leaf Filter should "Make it Right". Oh yes, contacted customer service, rearrange MY SCHEDULE to meet with Rep Wed. 3/10/2021. After waiting 1"hr, Ashley called and now no one is available. To send pictures of damage which was done 3/10/2021 With NO RESPONSE. The "no show appt. should have been my first clue. They DON'T CARE about me as post customer. Time to let public opinion prevail on Snapchat And You tube.

Since leaf filters have been installed my gutters leak in many places around the entire house. The end cap also leaks as so does the corner joints and at one of the valley the rain just pours over the gutter. the gutters were never re-align as stated by the salesman and the water just lays in the corner and constantly drips on my deck. The job was not done properly. I would NOT recommend LEAF FILTER to anyone.

#1 My husband still has to go up and blow the helicopter seeds off of the Leaf filter #2 The craftmanship of the installer was pathetic not to mention rude and unprofessional #3 We had to have them out several times just to complete the job that was suppose to be done in a couple hours. Our house is small and 1 level #4 The sales person would not leave. She asked my husband professional advice and brought her vehicle over the next day wanting him to look at if and possible fix it. #5 I wish we never went with them and we still owe over $5,000 for sub par work

Because I spent over $7,000, and there hasn't been a drop of water through my gutters since.

Honestly they're the gutter version of car salesmen. They keep calling and leaving messages and are just a load of overpriced sales people
