My husband and I had Leaf Filter installed on our 2 story house about 4 years ago. We live in North Bend, WA which gets heavy rainfall as well as lots of pine needles and leaves. Our problem is our composite roof grit. It washes down, makes a little dam and then the water cascades over it like a waterfall. I looked at our warantee and they said roof grit was included. When I called the company (3 times before somebody called me back) they said to call them every time it happens and they’ll send somebody out-really? That would be be weekly in the winter time. We arranged for somebody to come out today-they didn’t call first like they promised and nobody was home to meet them. We are now going to demand our money back in full and go with another company. Not happy with their service (or lack thereof) at all!!!!!

I have had Leaf Filter on my home since March of ’09 and live on a heavily wooded lot in Falls Church Va. I have lots of pines and oaks all around my property. I used to have to go up on my roof at least 3 times a year to clean out the gutters. Since getting Leaf Filter put on my house I couldn’t be happier. All the water goes right through the screen every time, and the leaves come right off. Also, just a note, when my neighbors gutters came off during the winter, mine stayed on.

Joe, I also live in the Northwest, Redmond to be exact. I got LeafFilter in 2007, and up to this year the dealer has sent someone out to pressure wash the mildew and growth off the screens so the water can get in the gutters. This year they wanted a “$120 Maintenance Fee”. I asked what good the product was if instead of maintaining/cleaning your gutters you need to maintain/clean the LeafFilter. My gutters look like crap now as the water that runs over causes streaks of stains on them. I wouldn’t recommend any of the add-ons to gutter systems, and none of the warranties are worth even a nickel. Don’t waste your money. Maybe “Jessey Jones” from King-5 News needs to know about this.

Hi Joe,

I am a leaffilter dealer/Installer leaffilter works perfect with a metal roof it is they best gutter guard on the market for a metal roof application. Main reason is that it mounts just to the gutter it does not need to be mounted to the roof under the shingle like most gutter guards. Leaffilter gutter guard is the only micro-filtration gutter guard that does not mount under the roof shingle. I install it all the time on gutters that handle water from a metal roof. It sounds like who installed the system has a lack of experience, One of two things can be done if you are having a problem with water over shooting the gutter guard from a metal roof or any roof, If one of the steps below are taken it will fix the problem. First you could install the service screen/valley screen witch is a more pouris filter that will handle they extra water flow, this 90% of the time will fix the problem. Second If the problem persists what will need to be done is you will need to have a six inch gutter installed, intern you will have more of a filter surface to handle the extra water flow If you have more questions on this give me a call at 877 573 2653.

If leaffilter is properly installed and the right steps are taken when a problem arrises it can be eradicated 100% of the time. I believe leaffilter is they best gutter guard on the market with over 700,000ft installed personally from our company we never had a call back we could not fix and we never had a single clogged gutter!!!!!!!!

I also had the Leaf Filter installed on my house in the winter of 09. I lve on 5 acres of pine trees. So I thought this would take care of the pine needles. IT DID NOT!. The pine needles do not blow away because it is too cold and wet all winter. I live in the Olympia Wa area. I call the company because the system did not work on my house. So the sent out someone to look at them. The day he arrived we had a cold spell and everything was frozen. So he took pictures. He said he would talk to his boss. I told him I wanted them taken off and I wanted a refund because the did not work. Never heard from them . So I call them. They told me that they only guarentee that the gutters will not clog. They do not clog , now they do not work at all . Now all the water just runs over them. So now I have to have them taken off so my gutters will work again.i am now thying to figure out what to use that might work better.

I’ve had Leaf Filter on my house for over five years and have never had a problem. My wife and I live in the woods in Ohio and we have tons of pine trees in our yard. I’m wondering if maybe you just had a bad installer who didn’t know what they were doing. The dealer in my area is very reputable. I checked them out with the BBB before I bought. Sorry you had a bad experience but if anyone else reads this, I would recommend this system to anyone.
