Down Spouts Resonate Rainwater Sound; Lots of Icicles
I had all of the gutters on my two-story house replaced with Leaf Guard gutters late last Fall (2025). The first thing that I noticed was how loud the down spouts were and how the rainwater resonated the sound. Then this winter I noticed that there were icicles forming everywhere. I never had any icing problems with my old gutter system, ever. I paid a lot of money to have the Leaf Guard gutters installed. I thought that they were the best product for me as I live in the middle of 40 acres of hard woods and wanted a system that would not need cleaning out. Very disappointed and I would not recommend them to anyone.

Wow!
Wow! Jose and his crew installed these high quality gutters in a few hours. They were installed just before it rained and what a difference these gutters are. Highly recommended!

Failure during heavy rains
I'm not a Leafguard customer but almost became one via Costco promo in GA. My experience with Costco installations has been good; primarily because of the post-installation correction service. The salesperson came to my home and said they'd been chosen by Costco for Georgia after a 6 months trial in California. Needless to say, the climates are quite the opposite and, thankfully, Costco allowed 3 business days to cancel the contract, which I did via both email and via fax (thanks to UPS). Why did I cancel? I'd read the Consumer Reports evaluation of Leafguard's 1 year test with them and it mentioned the rainwater overflowing the gutters in a heavy rain. Handling heavy rain is key for gutters and the CR report and reviews here reinforced my need to cancel my Costco installation of Leafguard.
Thank you reviewers who mentioned the performance issue during heavy rain.

Exceptional Sales Experience and an Even Better Gutter System
From start to finish, our experience with the LeafGuard gutter system was exceptional — and I can say without hesitation that this product has exceeded every expectation we had for protecting our home from Arizona’s sometimes torrential monsoon rains. Having dealt with heavy seasonal downpours here, finding a solution that would reliably handle intense rainfall and never require us to climb a ladder for gutter cleaning was a top priority. Safety was also a huge concern for us: my wife’s uncle tragically passed after a fall while cleaning gutters, so avoiding that risky chore forever was more than just a convenience — it was peace of mind.
Right from the moment we met our LeafGuard representative, we knew we were in good hands. The sales presentation was outstanding — thorough, honest, and incredibly informative. Our specialist clearly knew the product inside and out, taking the time to walk us through how LeafGuard’s one-piece, seamless design works to manage water even during extreme rainfall. The demonstration really brought it to life, showing exactly how the integrated guard directs rainwater into the gutter while shedding leaves and debris off the roof and away from the home.
What really impressed us was the combination of real performance and thoughtful engineering. LeafGuard’s system is made from heavy-gauge aluminum that’s significantly stronger than typical gutter materials, with hidden hangers and support every two feet — giving us confidence it will withstand not just heavy rain, but also wind and our intense Arizona sun. It’s also backed by a lifetime no-clog guarantee, which means we truly never have to get up on a ladder to clean gutters again — a game-changer for safety and convenience.
Beyond the outstanding product, what made this experience truly remarkable was the representative’s professionalism. He wasn’t just selling a product — he listened to our concerns, tailored the presentation to our home’s specific needs, and explained every detail clearly without pressure. He clearly cared that we understood the long-term benefits — from preventing water damage to the roof, siding, foundation, and landscaping, to increasing overall home value and dramatically reducing maintenance.
In a market where gutter systems can vary widely in quality, LeafGuard stands out for its durability, function, and focus on homeowner safety. It’s a solution that not only handles heavy rain with confidence, but also removes one of the most hazardous home-maintenance tasks from our to-do list forever. If you’re looking for reliable protection, expert service, and a system that simply works — especially in climates with heavy rain or lots of debris — I can’t recommend LeafGuard Gutters highly enough.

Not a current leaf guard client
Not a current leaf guard client, but writing this review for their door-to-door service.
Had a gentleman come to my door tonight and was VERY pushy in trying to get me to sign up for a home review. WOULD NOT take no for an answer. He got so pushy I was almost sharing personal schedule information that I SHOULD NOT have to divulge. I didn’t want to lie to him about our schedules but good lord was I about to get rude and straight up lie to him just to get him to take a hint and listen to my NO. I will not install leaf guard on any home (current or future) simply for this interaction. They should be ashamed for how pushy they are and getting into peoples’ personal business just to get someone to sing up for something.

I'm not a leafguard customer
I'm not a leafguard customer, however, I have been in the basement/foundation waterproofing and drainage business for 40 years. Now retired thank the lord. I've seen many systems of leafguard installed over my career and have seen numerous problems with the system. A number of case's where the system actually caused basement leaks( that were not an issue prior to installing the system, as well as drainage issues). Once leafgaurd was removed the problems went away. Also, the system does not fully keep leaves and debis out. When it's dry and windy, yes, of course the leaves blow right off, but when soaking wet it's a different story. Plus the high cost I've heard homeowners tell me. Don't be fooled by leafguard!!!

Disappointed in our treatment.
The tactics they used to get us to purchase turned out to be false information. Also, they promised 200 dollars in gift cards which they refuse to send us now after we purchased the product.

One of the biggest mistakes I've ever made
One of the biggest mistakes I've ever made. Shame on me for not doing my homework before I purchased. Spent close to $13,000 on what was supposed to a good investment. Far from that. I have a flat roof home with almost no pitch. The salesman told me i needed 3 more downspouts to get proper drainage. I had never had a problem with my other gutters or ever felt that I needed more downspouts. He basically told me I needed more downspouts for this system to work properly. Thinking he was the professional I took his word for it. I must of had idiot written on my back and forehead. My complaint is since I live in California rain is hit and miss and as my flat roof sits most of the time dry as a bone, dust collects on the roof and when it does rain the dust is carried by the rain water to my Leaf Filter system and the rain water runs across the filter mess and over the top of my gutter and on the ground. I called Leaf Filter and was told that my year warranty was up and this is a maintenance issue. What happen to the lifetime warranty that Leaf Filter claims to have. In my opinion the mesh is far too dense and does not allow the dust to pass through with the rain water. If anyone who reads my review is considering purchasing the Leaf Filter system don't do like I did. You can find numerous reviews of dissatisfied customers for different reasons and there are several lawsuits pending. I hate to bad mouth any product but Leaf Filter deserves this one. They don't stand behind their product, not interested in resolving my issue. Pretty close to false advertising I my opinion.
