The Costco filter is also a micro mesh but the micro mesh it’s much wider and therefore will allow more water entry into gutters.

I’m retired from an exterior maintenance business in Virginia. Every single gutter guard fails. Even the “good” ones fail and always at the roof valleys. There is no way that these valleys can clear debris and therefore once debris accumulates water pours over the gutters. Leaffilter is a pretty good system, however, it is enormously over priced. I always recommended to customers that they always just clean their gutters twice a year if they had roof valleys. I have gutter guards on my house from Costco that are made by GutterGlove and they work 100% of the time, but I only have straight runs of gutters with no valleys. I think I paid $2 per running foot and they’ve been on for 5 years and still look like new.

That's the problem with Leaf Filter and their "guarantee" that your gutters won't clog - the gutters don't clog, just the screen over the gutters. If you complain to Leaf Filter, they say the "gutters" are not clogged. Technically that's true, but their product doesn't stop the problem. Don't buy their product.

How goes warranty with the company? I recently had Leaf filter place on one side of the 2nd story of my house in spring of 2021(wanted to see if they worked as advertised) but because the roof is cement spanish style (scalloped) tile, and I'm 65 with a torn ACL and meniscus on one knee and torn meniscus of other knee and I'm not going up to check on things. Oh, I live in So Cal and don't get frequent rain (if any) but it was leaking between the fascia and gutter with our last rain and company sent someone out to silicone (why didn't they do that anyway initially?) along the 70 feet of gutter guard. Just wondering if they did anything for your failing system?

There is not a product on the market that will retard pine needles. This video is a perfect example of a product that is installed flat on top of the gutter instead of being installed for the continuation of the roof slope, which would help mother nature blowing them off. The purpose of gutters is to collect and carry off excessive rainwater. This system shown greatly restricts the gutters' ability to collect rainwater. Evident by the staining on the face of the gutters. Rigid screening is the best answer for gutters, not some fine mesh product that closes of 90% of your gutter opening. Finally, 5" gutters are the answer for guttering. Notice these 5" gutters really only have about 3" of opening based on being mounted to the Fasci. If you are building a home, use 6" gutters with rigid wire mesh having an opening of 95% to collect water.

Leaf Filter Contractor out of Springfield Mo is a crook. He takes advantage of the elderly over charges and does the bait and switch. You will not get filter you will get a regular knowing they cannot use ladders to check if they got what they paid for. I seen the Leaf Filter commercial on Tv, called Leaf Filter, they sent a Leaf Filter Salesman to the house wearing a Leaf Filter Shirt. They came out and installed a regular gutter. I caught after the last heavy rain and seen water coming out of the sides. I Went up there with a ladder and there was no filter. Even worse after I cleaned the gutter all out it was slanted the wrong way. I fight them over a month to get resolve at the corporates level and then they refused to give the name of the contractor. I had to sluthe his number from the BBB website. Still no resolve and to insult me he offered to come out to install the filter s for another 500 bucks. This unit out of Springfield hires human traffics illegals for his installs. I am frustrated enough trying to update this house to make it safe for my Dad I did not need this head ache from these scammers.

The problem with flat filters like LeafGuard is that you have to keep them swept to avoid the issue shown here. Traditional gutters without filters can accumulate a certain level of debris and keep on draining properly. The flat filters can't, so you pretty much have to sweep after every big storm. Not a very good deal, in my opinion.
