Thank you for informing viewers how and where to install "LEAFFILTER GUTTER GUARDS". Interesting experience on getting an estimate, high pressure sales today only price now! He went from 6,400 down to 3,900. He got upset 😡 that I would not comment. He must have lost his way on the meaning of an estimate! In my opinion it is overpriced! Just thought I would share my experience with "Leaffilter".

I worked as a contractor for them, 3 days! I took a bill after I was done to the customer for $4,067 it was 125 L.F, they paid me $120.00 for install 125.00 for mileage, I drove an hour to the job. And I still have to pay taxes on that money. The instructor smelled like booze in the afternoon and didn't do shit! Place is a scam

Leaf Filter is a definite scam company. I had them installed on just my back patio gutter, was $3,000. That was a year ago this past March, and the gutter is already clogged. So I called them to have someone sent here to fix that. They said it would cost me $97, because my one year warranty was up. So much for their so called “Lifetime No Clogs Guarantee” 😑

I understand the strong desire to avoud cleaning out the gutters, especially as age sets in, however; these guards never work properly after a season or two. The gutters still fill up with the tiny pebble particles from shingles, and it piles up ruining proper flow of water to the down-spouts. Pine needles manage to insert themselves in cracks, crevuces, and in the mesh, or cutout slots, and they stick there very well. Just go with a properly instakled gutter, and suck it up on paying your local handy man to climb the ladder and scoop out the gutters by hand, to include the piles of roofing tile sand. That sand will continue to fill the drains for the next two decades. You'll be happier in the end. Think of it as house maintenance, just like a car needs it's own maintenance. Good luck.

Those guys sell lots of it in Central Texas, we were once a sub for installations. Similar to the Box stores ridiculously beyond retail, using 100 percent sub-contrated labor. We couldn't keep installing for them, simply couldn't do it cheap enough for them. Now they use chucks in a truck around here, buyer beware.

I understand the strong desire to avoid cleaning out the gutters, especially as our age sets in; however, these guards never work properly after a season or two. The gutters still fill up with the tiny pebble particles from the shingles sgedding them, and it piles up ruining the proper flow of water to the down-spouts. The added weight over time of that coarse sand adds weight. Now add large volumes of water from a rain deluge where water now fills the enitire gutter, all the way to the downspout, which only handles the water that is high enough to go over the sandbars that formed in the gutters. The weight can cause deformation in the gutter, as the contact points to your house fascia start to droop because they're too far apart. Pine needles manage to insert themselves in cracks, crevices, and in the mesh, or cutout slots, and they stick there very well, many standing up and catching more material. I cleaned my best friend's homes (several of them) over the years, and was always amazed at how much material gets past the "filter" that leafguards purport to stop. Just go with a properly installed gutter, forget the leaf guards, and suck it up on paying your local handy man to climb the ladder and scoop out the gutters by hand, to include the piles of roofing tile sand. That sand will continue to fill the drains for the next two decades. You'll be happier in the end. Think of it as house maintenance, just like a car needs it's own maintenance. Good luck.

I installed micro-mesh stainless steel gutter guards that do not have the aluminum plate behind the mesh like leaf filters. They don’t seem to stop up; however, the builder apparently put some short 90 degree sections of leaf filters at the bottom of roof valleys. Those sections stopped up and caused leaks and fascia/soffit rot.

Regular cleaning of leaves

Had LeafFilter installed on my last house. Burning the money for heat would have served me better. What a terrible product. The certified installer went awol when he saw the direction our install was going to go. He recommended modifications that I paid for that failed as well.

You know, even with gutter guards you still have to perform basic maintenance..

All gutter guards should go in the trash, all the debris that would get stuck in your gutter just gets stuck on top of the guard, causing over flow and still needs cleaning they're all a scam

I totally agree with you.

ALL guards are a fkn nightmare. If you live near trees & think this is gonna help I urge you to do more research. Gutters are designed to function without this nonsense & if you want them clean just get it done more often.

Just had Leaf Filter install gutters on my home without the micro mesh filters. I didn't need them since I don't have any trees around my home. Gutter installation was horrible. I have standing water in several areas. My 1200 sq ft. 2 bedroom home gutter system was $7000. Rip off. If I had gone with the micro filters it would have been $14000. Stay away from Leaf Filter! They suck!

Just like the gutter guard. The only thing it does fills the gutter quicker. In the winter the gutter guard forces the ice overflow into the facia and into the wall. Completely a scram.

I love mine… not sure why this came up on my reels but wife got a quote was unsure at first put them on due to the warranty and money back guarantee before we started any trenching wanted to get my troughs working and sure enough 2 years later haven’t had any issues and our basement has no more issues.

Just got leaf filter in Aug 2023. Their warranty only covers anything that gets under screen and only for 1 year. They are liars from start to finish and are big time scammers. If you don't take 1st offer they keep going down in price. Spawns of Satan as far as I'm concerned.

The problem is in believing that you never have to undertake any gutter maintenance ever again
