Boston’s Climate Challenges
Year-Round Gutter Protection
Spring & Summer
We’ve been installing LeafFilter across Greater Boston long enough to see that late spring and summer bring sudden downpours—an inch of rain in under thirty minutes. When that happens, gutters can overflow at the seams, water can pool against foundations, and homeowners are left scrambling. LeafFilter’s completely enclosed system is engineered to help prevent common debris from entering gutters, which can help protect your home from water damage.
Fall & Winter
Our team has replaced countless fascia boards on triple-deckers and colonials throughout the Boston area because wet leaves sat in gutters all season. By late winter, that soggy debris has rotted wood and created drainage problems that could’ve been avoided. LeafFilter’s completely enclosed system is engineered to help prevent common debris from entering gutters—so you can stop cleaning out gutters, guaranteed.

Just a small rainstorm can divert hundreds of gallons of water to your foundation if your gutters are clogged. Boston receives an average annual precipitation of 43.8 inches, which means your gutters work overtime throughout the year. With this substantial level of rainfall, proper gutter maintenance is essential to help protect your home’s foundation from water damage.

Frequently Asked Questions
If your gutters are sagging, leaking, rusting, or pulling away from your home, it’s time for new gutters. Boston’s frequent rainfall and falling leaves can accelerate wear and tear. Visible cracks, holes, or water damage near your foundation are also clear indicators that replacement is needed.
Aluminum is the top choice for new gutter installations in Boston. It’s lightweight, rust-resistant, and holds up well in the area’s humid, coastal climate. Aluminum handles heavy rainfall while maintaining its appearance for years. Copper is a premium alternative that offers exceptional durability and develops a distinctive patina over time.
Most professional gutter installations in Boston typically take one to two days to complete. The timeline depends on factors like your home’s size, roof complexity, and New England’s unpredictable weather. Homes with multiple stories or intricate rooflines common in Boston neighborhoods may require additional time.
LeafFilter uses Sherwin Williams Plastilure to match your existing gutters or select a new color that complements your Boston home’s exterior. Our gutters are customized for your home to blend seamlessly with your property’s style.

Boston homeowners typically need to clean gutters 2-4 times yearly, especially during fall when leaves accumulate and after spring storms.

Gutters help protect your home by directing rainwater away from your foundation, walls, and landscaping.
