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).

It's worth noting that while they sell you on avoiding ice dams, the warranty specifically excludes those. I've seen considerable icicles on my gutters, so I'm not convinced these guards do much to prevent ice dams. My other issue was with pricing and scheduling. They first quote a crazy high price and then slowly reduce it-in my case it came down by over 70% ($17k to $4.6k) but only if I signed immediately. Then I was told to be home the very next day for the installation. So I stayed home from work but they never came or called. When I called at the end of the day they said they'd be out the next morning. So I stayed home again but again no one showed. Finally on the third try they showed and got the install done that day.

We payed too much, based on the amount of time the sales rep spent convincing us to purchase LeafFilter. Frankly, I was uninformed of the value of this product and the labor costs. This product is overpriced. The installation was done well.

I wasn't happy with their sales tactics - It's also too early to judge the gutter protection since we haven't had any significant rain, or bad weather

I cannot actually rate the Leaf Filter protection screens because I only had gutters installed right now. However the service and work was great.

So far all it does is allow snow to hang over the edge of the roof and drip down all along the length of the gutter.

I am not happy with icicles hanging from my gutters

Your LeafFilter will not be harmed by and is not the cause of icicle formation, Delavan. The icicles are caused by the sun melting snow on the roof. Minor icicle formation is normal and indicates LeafFilter is doing its job – keeping ice and snow out of the gutters. Please do not hesitate to call 800-749-4566 if we can help in any way.
