Leaf Filter Cost Calculator & Price Guide

LeafFilter is a branded gutter guard. It is a fine micro-mesh screen that sits over the gutter, and the company installs it with its own crews and sells it with a warranty. It is a national brand, which means pricing comes from a quote rather than a shelf price.

This page lays out what published sources say LeafFilter costs, how that compares with other professionally installed guards, and what changes a quote. For generic gutter guard types and prices, see the gutter guard installation cost guide. Figures carry a check date of Oct 11, 2026.

Gutter guards are priced by the linear foot of gutter, not by roof size. The sources below disagree, so treat them as a spread rather than a single answer.

The survey figure is a single price from reported quotes. The two review sites give ranges. Part of the gap may come from what each counts, such as promotional discounts, gutter cleaning, or repairs, but the sources do not say. Published figures are estimates, and the final price comes from a quote for your house.

Because the price scales with the length of the gutter, total cost rises with house size. The table below uses the survey's per-foot figure and the typical gutter length for each size of home.

These totals are averages, not quotes. Gutter length depends on the roofline. A house with many corners, dormers, or a second story can have more gutter than a simple rectangle of the same floor area. Measure the actual run, or ask the installer to measure it.

You can build a rough estimate in three steps.

1. Measure or estimate the linear feet of gutter on your house. Add each run along the eaves.
2. Multiply that length by the per-foot range from the tables above.
3. Add anything extra you expect, such as gutter repair, fascia work, or extra height charges.

An in-home quote accounts for roof pitch, height, and gutter condition, which an online calculator cannot see.

Other companies also sell and install their own systems. The prices below are per linear foot and come from the same survey as the LeafFilter figure.

Comparisons between brands are rough. Each company has its own product design, warranty terms, and installation approach. Compare the written warranty, what the installer does if the product fails, and whether the price covers a gutter cleaning before installation.

Homeowners who install guards themselves pay for material only. The survey priced 200 feet of material for two common products.

DIY guards cost far less up front, but the work involves ladders and roof edges, and some products fit only certain gutter profiles. A guard that is not fitted correctly can let debris in or hold back water. Falls from ladders are a real hazard, so consider your comfort with heights before taking this on.

• Gutter length. This is the main driver, since pricing is per foot.
• Home height. Two- and three-story houses can add labor and equipment.
• Roof design. Steep pitches, many valleys, and low-slope sections complicate installation.
• Gutter condition. Damaged, sagging, or poorly pitched gutters may need repair before guards go on.
• Gutter size. Some systems are designed for standard widths, and larger commercial-style gutters can change the price.
• Discounts and financing. Brands often run promotions. Ask whether any discount is conditional.
• Region. Labor costs and local demand differ.

Published totals do not line up because they rely on different data and assumptions.

One figure comes from a survey of prices, while another is a broad range from a review site. Gather at least two quotes with the same scope to see where your house falls.

That depends on how much you value a single company handling installation and a written warranty, versus the lower price of generic or DIY options. Any gutter guard reduces how often gutters clog, but none eliminates cleaning. Fine debris such as pine needles and shingle grit can still collect. Read the warranty to see what is covered, how long it lasts, and whether it transfers if you sell the home. Independent roofers and gutter installers may offer comparable products at different prices.

• What is the total price, and what is the per-foot rate?
• Does it include a gutter cleaning, repairs, and fascia work?
• What does the warranty cover, and is it transferable?
• Who does the installation, an employee or a subcontractor?
• Are there time-limited discounts, and what happens if I wait?
• What are the cancellation terms?
