I just had Leaf Filter gutter guards installed on my home and detached garage, all together 140 linear feet. The sales rep initially quoted me a price of $11,626 ($83.04 per linear foot). I kept bargaining him down and he dropped the price to $7,455 ($53.25 per linear foot) then $3,622 ($25.87 per linear foot) to finally $2,532 ($18.09 per linear foot). And after watching this video I feel like I STILL overpaid! You KNOW their original price is WAY overblown when they can "give" you a "discount" of 79% and still be making a profit. I have friends who had a 20-ft. length of Leaf Filter installed on their home and they were charged $1200 ($60 per linear foot) because it didn't occur to them that they could negotiate the price. Thank you for your videos; you are performing a valuable service for homeowners!!!!!!

Thanks for this video- I had a similar situation. The sales rep started around $7500, with about 25% discount they came down to ~$5600. The next morning, he came down to 4555 because of a “job cancellation in our area and wanted to fit us in.” After watching this video, I called him to negotiate down and we ended at $3500 - more than half of the starting cost. Thanks you for this video and saving us.

I am an installer for them right now. I do installs, and service calls. They sale this crap as "never clog" but in a lot of cases, thats just not true. Ive been to dozens of homes that have over flow, do to the mesh being clogged. I have hundreds of pictures. Yhe product IS NOT and i repeat, NOT maintenance free as they pitch it. Ive sat and listened to customer care and sales reps lie to the customer as im standing there while the customer calls on speaker phone. Its the most embarrassing thing for me. I do what i can to make the customer happy, but once the lie is told, its difficult to make it right. The mesh has to be free of debris to work properly. Although the product does make cleaning 100 times easier, and much faster. You still need to blow, sweep, or hose the mesh off from time to time, so the product will work properly. Thats my two cents. Hope it helps.

I am a gutter installer who has OCD/and a perfectionist. Please Consider: Fact: The open mouth of a gutter is a trap - Fiction: There is a perfect solution. Fact: Meshes, foam pad inserts,micro screens, just clog up. There are 4 products from the best system I found alu-rex.com. All are perforated aluminum: #1- #5300 cover/topper (with a flow restriction lip) and is retro/ Reno (installed on existing gutter as a after market product) #2-5200 a new construction continuous hanger ( NOT a TOPPER ) it is the hanger that is running and supporting the entire length of the gutter and is superior because it is not the weaker spaced system of spikes or spaced hangers. #3 #5800 a heavier gauge aluminum which is even stronger that I can stand on! #4 DoublePro designed for finer particles using 2 layers to help flush out fine stuff with the Venturi effect. Conclusion: you will get some debris build up and fine particles like roof grains but this system is way better than every other I’ve seen. With this one I don’t get complaints/call-back. It does require some maintenance. One eg. Is where wind cannot help blow out debris like on an inside corner or sheltered area however a quick swipe off the top is easy compared to digging muck out of the gutter trap or bottom. But some critics cannot recognize the benefits (perhaps some critics have black and white thinking -either approve or condemn) This is a good coping mechanism and will help reduce maintenance.

Cripes! Wish I had watched this video BEFORE my recent Leaf Filter sales visit . Most comments are right on the money. My estimate started at $10,700 for a ranch house with 230+ linear feet of gutters. That came down to $7,000 after a long sales talk and the "notebook" for visual reinforcement. I said 'no' and he got in his car to leave. One minute later a knock on the door - WHY DID I ANSWER THE DOOR? - and I got the same pitch mentioned in other comments about a lower price as a "commercial contract" AND the final pitch that hooked me ... due to Covid they really needed to sell product to keep their employees busy. So, I did sign for $6300. Now I could kick myself for over paying for this product. This had better be the best damn gutter guard product ever, AND I will tell myself that I helped keep someone employed.

This is my personal experience. A Leaf Filter rep came to my home and tried to sell me their product for $18,500 (338 linear ft total). That's almost $55/ft! Needless to say I was really shocked. I didn't any research beforehand so I had no idea how much Leaf Filter should cost but similar to othwes experienced, this sales rep was so aggressive and spent over an hour with his 3 ring binder hard selling it to me. He gave me two estimates, one good for that day (but he wouldn't give me till EOD to decide) and one supposedly good for a year (but 30% higher) and then pressured me into making a decision on the spot. It was probably one of the most uncomfortable conversations I had had in my life. I said I would call him back and he said no customer would ever call back and pay the higher price. What kind of company is that??? If you're so confident about your product, why wouldn't you let your customer do some research and decide? I kept saying it's a lot of money and need more time to decide. He lowered his price from $18k to $14k and then he started suggesting skipping some sections of the house and selling it at $10k or even installing gutters without protection at a lower price! I currently have gutters with protection, just not all the way around my house. Why the hell would I pay him to remove my protection!?!? I said I would call him back but he was so upset he couldn't make a sale he wouldn't even leave his number. I can't imagine how many people this company has duped with this sales model teying to sell their product at 10 times the cost. This is probably how they got to $1 billion sales.

I bought two packs of these plastic covers 36 inches long, 10 in a box, for $24 a box free shipping on eBay. It took me longer to climb up the ladder than it did to take me to slide one edge under the first row of shingles which held them in place. I put them up in September every year because I have big trees in the front of my house that fill the gutters.. in December, I take them off because there’s no issue with the gutters clogging because the leaves are done Falling here in western Pennsylvania. So for under 50 bucks, and about 30 minutes work, which the biggest part of the job was moving the ladder, I covered my gutters in the front of my house with Leaf guard filters. I don’t know what brand they are, some generic something or other. I don’t leave them on over the winter because they will get snow accumulation, and with the freeze thaw cycle they ice over, and the melting snow does not go into the gutter when they are iced over.. unfortunate that my gutters in the front of my house are only about 8 feet up above the ground. In the back of my house, they are about 25 feet up because my house is built on a slope. I don’t care if those gutters overflow in a big rain because The water can’t get in the house if the ground is saturated in the back. But it did in the front of my house when hurricane Ivan passed over Pennsylvania I couple decades ago. I got about a gallon or two of water in my game room on the floor covering an area about the size of a pool table. That happened because my gutters were filled with leaves and didn’t take the water away from the house.. So for under 50 bucks. Problem solved

I've had them for a year and they work great however, I don't get many leaves, just pine needles and shingle run off so maybe that's why? I will say the only bad experience was the installer. He left about 60 screws in my driveway and more materials scattered around my house. Seemed in a rush but they work great for me.

I was really turned off by the high pressure sales tactics from them. First off, it's an hour long session between him measuring gutters and giving the sales pitch, so be ready for that. I have a decent sized house, but simple gable roof with 2 porches. They wanted $3900 ish. But the "price good for today only" before the salesman left was $2800. Luckily I told him I have to discuss it with my wife first and would get back to him. I didn't get back to him. Got a text from the salesman a week later saying they would do it for $1680. Still didn't respond because in my head I knew those would have trouble with heavy rains, and some testimonials confirmed that with moss. I'm glad I didn't go with them. I'm just going to get a shop vac extension and clean them myself without having to get on a ladder (which was the only reason I considered them). So lesson for everyone else, have only one of you home when the LeafGuard guy comes so you have an "out" and time to think about making a decision. haha.

Any product for which the price is good only today reeks of higfh pressure sales tactics to get a sale through. If the price is good today it should be good tomorrow. One day or one week does not shift the material or labor price, unless you are buying a volatile stock in the stock market.

All you have to do is take note of all the advertising they do to know they're pricing will be extremely inflated. They flood the market with ads everywhere, TV, newspapers, magazines, online, etc. In my Sunday paper today there were three ads alone. Who do think pays for all that advertising. You do. Even $4400 is way, way to much for gutter protection. There are excellent solutions out there for 1/4 of that.

I also had Leaf Filter provide an estimate. The first quote was (210 feet) $17K and after 15 minutes of why they are better sales talk, then dropped to $11K apparently from my facial expression... I told them I am having other estimates done and would get back to them in a couple days. Received a text that afternoon saying they had over runs from a commercial job and could do it for $3,200. But I had to accept now or they would have to put it back in the warehouse. I clean the gutters, installing a guard is really easy. I purchased Waterlock Micromesh from Amazon (better product) and installed myself for $1K. Actual gutter length was 194 feet. I run commercial construction projects for a living. That type of sales pitch is ridiculous. Always get multiple quotes!

@@afrocraft1 They use a measuring wheel to measure gutters, tape measurer or laser measurer for downspouts (depending on how high). The Downspouts are only measured if your replacing gutters and installing the filters. So, if your gutters are metal and do not need replacing, you dont factor in the downspouts on the linear ft.

Out of the "50's sales presentation". He claimed that Consumer Reports gave LeafFilter was awarded #1 = not so. The first best deal was $2500 for 85', his second-best deal was $2250= we rejected as twice as high as competitors. 8 hours later their best deal dropped to $1100 but only good until midnight? I would have easily agreed to a $ 1400 price because I was impressed with the product but the sales push made me suspicious. The salesman probably did not have a choice on how to present but we are senior citizens and are wary of pushy presentations.

Good material here. I bought Leaf Filter perhaps 4 or 5 years ago, before they were well known to me at least. I just had a new roof installed and all of it was ripped off, and is not really replaceable. I will say it worked pretty well in an area with a right angle around the pool. In any event the sales pitch sounds familiar. Prices started so high I laughed and said i'd consider it. Finally over the phone I got appx. 100 ft. installed for $1,350 as I recall. But like everywhere I read now, there really is no really good solution to keeping your gutters clean over the long-haul. Maintenance, cleaning out the holes, and screens will be required.....an improvement yes, but I will leave my gutters as they are from this point on.

I am a gutter installer who has OCD/and a perfectionist. Please Consider: Fact: The open mouth of a gutter is a trap - Fiction: There is a perfect solution. Fact: Meshes, foam pad inserts,micro screens, just clog up. There are 4 products from the best system I found alu-rex.com. All are perforated aluminum: #1- #5300 cover/topper (with a flow restriction lip) and is retro/ Reno (installed on existing gutter as a after market product) #2-5200 a new construction continuous hanger ( NOT a TOPPER ) it is the hanger that is running and supporting the entire length of the gutter and is superior because it is not the weaker spaced system of spikes or spaced hangers. #3 #5800 a heavier gauge aluminum which is even stronger that I can stand on! #4 DoublePro designed for finer particles using 2 layers to help flush out fine stuff with the Venturi effect. Conclusion: you will get some debris build up and fine particles like roof grains but this system is way better than every other I’ve seen. With this one I don’t get complaints/call-back. It does require some maintenance. One eg. Is where wind cannot help blow out debris like on an inside corner or sheltered area however a quick swipe off the top is easy compared to digging muck out of the gutter trap or bottom. But some critics cannot recognize the benefits (perhaps some critics have black and white thinking -either approve or condemn) This is a good coping mechanism and will help reduce maintenance.

They just finished my single story, 3br home. Looking at the material, I might pay $800 - $1000 for it, it took one installer 3 hours, and I received a "discount" of 10%, dropping the price from over $4000 to under $3850 or something. "Demitri" rounded the price to an even $3800. I didn't see anything special about the mesh, or the honeycombed plastic base under the mesh. The installer did hammer out a dent, claims to have added a sealant, and blew out my downspouts. All of that was part of the labor, which I estimate cost me about $1000 an hour. I should have shopped around. I wouldn't have gotten the cheapest, but I'm certain I could have received the same care at half the price. They also were VERY QUICK to deposit my check, which, to me, stinks of "take the money and run." I suspect that the "lifetime warranty" of the sealant means the warranty will last as long as the company does.

Thanks for sharing!!! Sorry, but you overpaid. Hope someone will watch it and save half the cost. And leaf filter probably could do it for $2000 and still make money. Just saying

I was hesitant about going through with this pressured insulation but now that I've seen your comment I know that I was correct that they are full of it
