Where LeafFilter is genuinely strong
Their warranty is lifetime and transferable, they have a large service organization, and they've installed on hundreds of thousands of homes. If you want the biggest company behind your gutters and the price doesn't matter, that's a real answer. We'll tell you so.
Where Guttrz is the better call
If you want comparable mesh at a third of the price, a quote without the living room presentation, and a local owner whose cell number is on the truck, that's us. Every install includes cleaning and resealing, and the price you're texted is the price you sign.
What to do with a LeafFilter quote you already have
Send it to us. Look at the linear footage on it, divide the price by that number, and you'll see the per-foot cost. Then compare it to $15 to $20. If theirs is close, we'll tell you it's fair and you should take it. Usually it isn't close.
Questions
Is Guttrz the same product as LeafFilter?
Both install stainless steel micro-mesh on a rigid frame over existing gutters. LeafFilter uses a proprietary design; Guttrz installs a wholesale micro-mesh product with a 50-year manufacturer warranty. The filtration approach is the same category.
Why is LeafFilter so expensive?
National advertising, commissioned in-home sales representatives, and a pricing structure built around large same-day discounts. The install labor and material are a small fraction of the quote.
Can I send Guttrz my LeafFilter quote?
Yes. Text a photo of it to (330) 818-5584. Guttrz will tell you whether it's fair and, if not, quote the same footage on comparable micro-mesh.
Does Guttrz do the three-hour in-home presentation?
No. Guttrz measures from satellite, texts a price range within an hour, and confirms it in a 20-minute on-site visit. The price is good for a year, not just the day of the visit.
