Leaf Filter Leaf Filter is Never Installed Correctly Jacksonville Florida

Here in Florida, many of us live in tree-covered neighborhoods.  Gutter protection is extremely helpful.  But leaf filter, when installed FLAT, will not prevent leaves and debris from building up on top of your gutters.  You will still have to clean the TOPS of your gutters several times a year - unless you are exposed to fairly strong wind storms.  So the product is overpriced, and the sales folks are NEVER honest about the shortcomings of the product.  So glad I don't live in an area where it snows - I have read about all the problems with icing over when it snows.

My solution was to go to the Costco website and purchase their wider 5" mesh gutter guards which are ANGLED when you slide them under your shingles and attach them to the front edge of your gutter.  This works by causing leaves and most small debris to fall off by gravity or by the wind.  Only tiny pieces of debris may stay behind, but those eventually dry up and blow away also.  While nothing is 100% perfect, I was VERY happy when I paid $250 instead of $5,000 for the 110 feet of gutter mesh I needed for the back of my home.  For the pricing reason alone, LeafFilter is A TOTAL RIPOFF.

I hope this report helps others see that there are other highly effective solutions available out there for those who do not live in snowy parts of the US.
