LeafFilter Gutter Protection

What LeafFilter Gutter Protection does

LeafFilter Gutter Protection (legal entity LeafFilter North, LLC) is a privately held U.S. home-exterior company founded in 2005 and headquartered in Hudson, Ohio, operating as a division of Leaf Home. It designs, sells, and professionally installs a patented stainless-steel micromesh gutter guard system that uses surface-tension physics to draw water into the gutter while blocking debris down to the size of pine needles, shingle grit, seed pods, and pollen. The company complements the core guard with add-on offerings including seamless gutters, gutter installation and cleaning services, the CritterGate downspout adapter for pest sealing, and outdoor lighting, positioning itself as a full home water-management solution rather than a single SKU. All products are backed by a lifetime transferable warranty and a clog-free guarantee.

The company serves residential homeowners across all 50 U.S. states through a direct, in-home enterprise field-sales motion: customers initiate contact via a 1-800 number or the LeafFilter.com website, receive a free in-home estimate from a locally licensed contractor, and proceed to custom measurement and professional installation. Go-to-market is supported by an extensive content-marketing library, geo-targeted SEO pages for every state, a Trustpilot presence with 75,000+ reviews, a partnership with TV personality Mike Holmes, and seasonal promotional offers with 0% financing. Distribution is exclusively direct, with no third-party retail channel.

LeafFilter generates revenue primarily through one-time sales of gutter-guard systems and installation labor, plus cross-sell of seamless gutters, CritterGate adapters, and outdoor lighting. Self-reported metrics place cumulative scale at 189,003,180 feet installed across 1,260,060 customers, with the company describing itself as the nation's largest gutter protection company and the 3rd largest remodeler in the U.S. The business is privately owned, received institutional backing from Gridiron Capital in 2017, and currently employs 1,001–5,000 people. There is no indication of AI/ML capabilities, public-company status, or international operations; the only material legal matter in the data is the Horton v. LeafFilter N. LLC arbitration ruling in the Northern District of Texas concerning enforceability of online arbitration provisions.
