Brush gutter guards covered in leaves and debris

Brush

Brush inserts are DIY gutter guard that sit inside your gutters to keep debris out. Unfortunately, the wire brush material attracts debris like Velcro, and can cause more damage to your gutters than if you had left them unprotected.


Foam

Foam gutter inserts are a type of DIY gutter guard that sits inside your gutters, leaving no room for debris to enter. However, when the foam becomes saturated it can encourage mold, mildew, as well as other plant life to grow inside, creating even more clogged gutter issues.

DIY Screen

DIY screens feature large holes and openings, which allow debris to easily enter your gutters. While installation methods for DIY screens vary, most require sliding the product under your shingles, or even nailing into them to secure it – something you never want to do. Worse yet, gutter screens rarely come with a warranty, making them an altogether ineffective product.


Micro Mesh

What sets LeafFilter apart from other micromesh products is its patented-protected design. Other micro-mesh products use sub-par materials and dangerous installation methods, like installing under your shingles. Worse yet, these products don’t come with a no-clog guarantee and lifetime, transferable warranty like LeafFilter offers.

Hood

Some hood-style gutters may install under your shingles, which can void your roof warranty. Other hood-style gutter guards may require complete gutter replacement, as the system features a built-in, one-piece design. Both types of hooded designs feature a large, horizontal opening at the lip of the gutter, which allow debris to slide in and continue to clog your gutters.
