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).

The Bad

  • State Availability

State Availability

Currently, LeafFilter’s products and services are available in 43 of 50 states and are rapidly growing. However, residents of Alaska, Arizona, Hawaii, Montana, New Mexico, North Dakota, and South Dakota will need to look at other options for their gutters.

The screen cover looks good but the first time it rained the water just ran off the edge of the drain, it didn't go through the screen. After about five minutes the water finally went through. Maybe small particles of dirt or dust need to be washed off by the rain first. We really haven't had them long enough to make a fair judgement. We will see what happend's after all this snow.

I have had the Leaf Filter on my gutters only a brief time. I have had a couple of sections that have become temporarily blocked due to debris washing off the roof tiles. Once the debris was removed, the Leaf Filter functioned as advertised

Good job and product overall, but I have sent numerous messages to Devin W along with video about install team did not finish the agreed contract and missed sealing all joints. Video shows excessive water leaking at all corners.

Because winter set in right after LeafFilter was installed, we really can't give a true evaluation till spring, or above freezing temperatures occur. It's January so we have a ways to go in Michigan.

The LeafFilter system is working well on straight gutter runs. Leaves pile up in all the inside corners creating a dam. This is unacceptable considering the expense

Your product is very good for the most part. Only have one concern, ice damming. You advertise that your product handles ice damming. It does not.

The representative was nice and informative. The systems seemed to be something that would work pretty well, but the pricing for what it costs it a little too steep. We opted to go with a different type of gutter guard that worked well.

By keeping gutters clog-free, you prevent costly home damages. LeafFilter is also backed by a lifetime, transferable warranty and is the nation’s largest gutter protection company. For these reasons, we hope that you see gutter protection as a valuable investment on your home.

Leaffilters we’re installed by the previous owners of my house and they left us all of the paperwork when we bought the house. We have a lot of large trees around the house and a ton of leaves fall on the gutters. They worked well and we were happy with them. We didn’t have any issues with clogging and it made the gutters easier to maintain. We ended up removing them when we replaced our roof and they were just too expensive to reinstall. I would say that the product is great but the price is a little too high to make it worth it.

The LeafFilter Gutter product does a great job of keeping debris out of my gutters. I have one spot where debris accumulates. If I had called in the first year about this, they would have fixed it at no charge, but I didn't get around to calling so now there will be a $99 service fee, so take note of anything that isn't perfect within the first year and don't delay asking for them to come back.

Was sick of going on my roof every year to clear out my gutters, the smell was awful and took forever. After exploring all the options the leaf filter was definitely the best fit for the debris I commonly get on my roof. They're not perfect by any means, sometimes debris can get stuck on top of them but super rare. Thankfully now it's about 5-10 minutes up on the roof with a leaf blower and it's clear compared to a couple hours before.

LeafFilter Gutter Protection is a great product. We have a huge Black Walnut Tree in our front yard and giant Maple tree in the back. Every year their leaves fall covering our house and inevitably clogging our gutters and causing drain issues. LeafFilter Gutters Guards saved us so much time and money, and saved me from dangerously hanging off a ladder to clean gutters. Cost is slightly more in comparison to other companies, but their product isn't flimsy like others either. I firmly believe in "you get what you pay for" and LeafFilter is quality all the way!

They were great, but soon after they left, the wind took a downspout out, asked if it could get fixed and had no reply.

I like the company and the look of the gutters. I'm not sure exactly how well they work because we haven't had a good downpour yet here in Colorado. The only thing I see is that the gutters hold the snow and it drips over the front of the gutters when it is melting. I will know more after there is more rain.
