Why Choose Us
Why Chicagoland Calls Our Lombard Gutter Crew
Our Lombard crew has protected more than 33,700 homes and installed more than 1,050 miles of gutter across Chicagoland. On each visit, we check the fascia, the run lengths and where the downspouts should go.
LeafFilter is a low-profile, surgical-grade stainless steel micromesh screen installed at an angle. It is designed to fit most gutters, including K-style, fascia, U-style and custom box-style. It can go on existing gutters, so replacing them is not always necessary. Locally trained installation professionals install the guards, which are backed by a limited lifetime transferable warranty.
Chicago Weather and What It Means for Gutters
Chicago gets about three feet of rain a year, and late spring and summer are the wettest months. Summer storms can drop a lot of water at once, and strong winds blow leaves and twigs into gutters. Summer heat can also dry out old sealant at the seams.
Our install is built for this. We size the downspouts for your roof and set the pitch so water drains. We add extensions to move water away from the foundation, and we fasten hangers into solid fascia.

Custom-pitched runs
Sized for your specific roofline and Chicago rainfall volume.
Premium aluminum

Common issues in Chicago
Leaves and Seeds in the Gutter
Maple seeds in spring and oak leaves in fall clog Chicago gutters. A clogged gutter can spill water down the siding and near the foundation, causing expensive water damage.
Overflow in Summer Storms
Heavy summer storms can send more water off the roof than a clogged or undersized gutter can carry. The overflow can soak the fascia, siding and garden beds.
Slow Drainage in Cold Months
Wet fall leaves can block downspouts through Chicago’s cold, wet months. Water then backs up in the gutter and can leak behind it onto the fascia.
Pests and Trapped Moisture
Wet debris in a gutter holds moisture and draws insects and nesting birds. Over time, that moisture can rot the fascia boards behind the gutter.
Why Gutter Guards
Why New Chicago Gutters Need a Guard
New gutters can still clog. Chicago’s oaks, maples and honeylocusts drop leaves, seeds and pods from spring through fall. A clogged gutter can overflow in the next storm, causing expensive water damage to your home.
LeafFilter is engineered to prevent common debris from entering gutters. It is installed at an angle which can help shed debris while accepting water. New gutters with the guard on top make one gutter system built to cut down on clogs.

One or two cleanings a year often fall behind here. Maple seeds come down in spring, storms knock twigs loose in summer, and oak leaves keep dropping late into fall.
Our micromesh gutter guard helps keep that debris out of your gutters. LeafFilter is engineered to significantly reduce gutter maintenance, which means fewer trips up the ladder for you.
Less Gutter Upkeep Through Chicago’s Seasons
How LeafFilter® Works
Inspect and prepare your gutters
Our team inspects your existing gutter system and removes built-up debris before installation.
Reinforce and align gutters
We reinforce your existing gutters and check alignment to help improve drainage performance.
Install the micromesh system
LeafFilter® uses a stainless steel micromesh designed to filter common debris while allowing water to flow through.
Help protect your home year-round
The system is designed to help reduce gutter clogs caused by leaves, debris, and seasonal buildup.
When a Chicago Gutter Run Needs Replacing
Repairs can buy time on a small leak or a loose hanger. A run that keeps leaking, sagging or pulling away from the fascia is often better replaced.
Sagging gutters
Overflowing gutters can wash away soil and mulch, damage plants and driveways, and weaken your curb appeal.
Soffit and fascia rot
Backed-up water can seep into fascia boards and soffits, causing wood rot and weakening the roofline over time.
Foundation flooding
When gutters overflow, water pools around your home’s base, and can lead to basement leaks, cracks, and costly structural damage.

Rigo was phenomenal. He went the extra mile and came out even though when I called the office to see they were at after waiting 45 minutes past time quoted they said I was not scheduled. It was a system error. Rigo was awesome !!!! I would highly recommend him.

Gutter installation done right
A careful install starts with measuring each run. We set the pitch so water drains, fasten solid hangers into the fascia and place downspouts to carry water away. We clean up before we leave.

Common Questions
Your Chicago Gutter Installation Questions Answered
How do I know if my Chicago gutters need replacing, not repair?
A single loose hanger or leaking seam can often be repaired. If a run keeps leaking, sags, rusts or pulls away from the fascia after repairs, replacing it is often the better choice. Our crew checks the gutters and fascia before we recommend a next step.
Will LeafFilter cut down on gutter cleaning in Chicago?
Yes. Chicago gutters get maple seeds in spring, twigs from summer storms and oak leaves in fall. LeafFilter helps keep common debris out through all of it, and it comes with a no-clog guarantee. Some debris can sit on the screen until wind and rain may eventually shed it.
Can LeafFilter be installed with new gutters?
Yes. When we install new gutters, we use seamless gutters and we can add our LeafFilter guard on top, so you get a complete gutter system. Our gutter guards can also be installed on existing gutters in good shape, so replacement is not always necessary.
