Another Leaf Filter Nightmare – Another Happy Customer After We Fixed It…
This is exactly why we see so many frustrated homeowners calling us.
This customer paid over $9,000 for a Leaf Filter system, believing the sales pitch: “Never clean your gutters again!”
They installed it right over their old, 15-year-old gutters… and surprise — it never worked properly. The system constantly clogged, water overflowed, and the old gutters underneath continued to leak. Over time, it caused serious damage, including rotting fascia boards that now had to be replaced.
We were hired to rip all that junk out and install a proper 6-inch gutter system designed to actually handle the volume of water coming off their roof. Here’s what was left in the dumpster after we removed it:
The truth is simple:
• Nothing is maintenance-free.
• No “miracle” product replaces basic home maintenance.
• If a gutter system needs multiple lifetime warranties… it’s probably because they know it’s not going to last.
Leaf Filter (and systems like it) sound great in the commercials, but in real life, they often cause more problems than they solve — especially when slapped over aging gutters.
If you’re dealing with clogged gutters, overflowing water, or hidden damage from one of these systems, don’t wait until the fascia and soffit are rotting. Give us a call. We’ll give you an honest assessment and install a gutter system that’s actually built for your home and your roof.
Real gutters. Real solutions. No gimmicks.
