See What Our New Orleans Customers Have to Say
“Sales rep was awesome! Explained the entire process to us and had samples of competitors gutter guards which were not even close to the quality of the Leaf Filter product. The senior and military discounts were great, and we knew we with the right company when we heard about the lifetime guarantee that will also stay with the house if we sell it. The installers were terrific and the inspector came by and everything checked out beautifully.”
“I have a huge magnolia tree on my front lawn which is a constant source of aggravation for falling leaves. I have had other leaf guards, but none have done the job for which it was intended. I have complete confidence that LeafFilter will keep my gutters free from leaves and other debris.”
“From start to finish it was a pleasant experience. The Estimator, Dominick, was well equipped, trained and very efficient. The installer, Tommy, was also well trained and extremely efficient. I was surprised that Tommy handled the entire installation single handed. He did an excellent job.”

New Orleans’ Climate Challenges
New Orleans Weather Batters Gutter Systems
New Orleans’ unique subtropical climate, coupled with its historic architecture in areas like the French Quarter and Garden District, creates year-round gutter challenges. With over 60 inches of annual rainfall, high humidity, and salt-laden coastal air, homes face persistent threats from water damage and debris accumulation, making proper gutter protection essential.
Spring
Spring showers intensify as magnolias, crepe myrtles, and live oaks release pollen and seeds throughout neighborhoods from Lakeview to Uptown. These materials combine with frequent thunderstorms to challenge gutter performance.
Summer
The Gulf Coast hurricane season brings intense tropical downpours and wind-driven debris. Historic homes are particularly vulnerable as storm systems can deposit palm fronds, Spanish moss, and roofing materials into unprotected gutters.
Fall
Autumn brings moderate temperatures but increased rainfall to the Crescent City. Local vegetation, including Southern magnolias, bald cypress, and water oaks, shed leaves that can quickly overwhelm traditional gutter systems.
Winter
Though mild, New Orleans winters feature frequent rain and occasional storms. The combination of moisture-laden air from Lake Pontchartrain and falling debris from evergreen live oaks creates ongoing gutter maintenance needs.
Did You Know?
Based on New Orleans’ ~64 inches of yearly precipitation, a single story 2,000 sq. ft home gutter system will handle over 79,808 gallons of water annually.
Gutter Protection for NOLA’s Historic Trees
From the Garden District to Uptown, New Orleans’ distinctive urban forest presents unique challenges for gutter systems. The combination of year-round humidity, frequent tropical storms, and historic live oaks draped with Spanish moss creates constant debris accumulation. These conditions, particularly during hurricane season, make professional gutter protection essential for preserving both modern and historic homes.
Live Oaks & Spanish Moss
These majestic trees, prevalent in the French Quarter and Garden District, continuously shed leaves while Spanish moss contributes to gutter debris. LeafFilter’s micromesh technology prevents these materials from forming stubborn blockages that compromise gutter performance.
Tropical Magnolias
New Orleans’ humid climate accelerates the decomposition of magnolia leaves and pods in gutters. Our engineered gutter protection system prevents these dense materials from creating water overflow issues that can damage historic home foundations.
Storm-Prone Species
Local species like cypress and palm trees regularly shed debris during tropical storms and hurricane season. LeafFilter’s locally trained installation professionals ensure clog-free gutters even during Southeast Louisiana’s most challenging weather conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Gutter guards can be particularly effective in New Orleans’ challenging environment. The city’s high annual rainfall, frequent tropical storms, and abundant vegetation like oak trees and Spanish moss create unique gutter maintenance challenges. Quality gutter protection systems use fine mesh screens that help manage common local debris while allowing rainwater to flow during heavy storms and hurricane season – a critical feature given New Orleans receives over 60 inches of annual rainfall.
Here in New Orleans, we know a thing or two about heavy rain – with our 64 inches of annual rainfall and frequent tropical storms. LeafFilter’s 275 micron, surgical-grade stainless steel mesh is specifically designed to handle our unique Gulf Coast weather conditions. The system effectively manages intense summer thunderstorms while keeping out common New Orleans debris like live oak leaves, pine needles, and Spanish moss. Even during the heaviest downpours, LeafFilter ensures proper water flow through your gutters.
Yes, gutter guards can be installed on existing gutters that are in good structural condition. In New Orleans’ subtropical climate, where intense rainfall, hurricanes, and high humidity are common, gutters must first be evaluated for storm damage, rust, or wear. Common issues in our area include separation at seams from strong winds, sagging from accumulated debris like magnolia and oak leaves, and rust damage from the Gulf Coast’s high humidity levels.
In New Orleans’ unique climate, LeafFilter’s surgical-grade stainless steel mesh system is engineered to prevent common debris from entering your gutters while handling heavy subtropical rainfall. The system effectively manages challenges from live oak leaves during fall and protects your gutters throughout hurricane season (June through November). With proper installation by our fully trained local professionals, your gutters remain clog-free — guaranteed.
Yes, gutter guards help reduce pest problems in your gutters, which is particularly important here in New Orleans. Our unique climate and abundant wildlife, including tree frogs, Formosan termites, and various insects common to the Garden District and French Quarter areas, often seek shelter in unprotected gutters. During our intense rainy seasons and hurricane periods, these pests can create blockages that affect your gutter system’s performance. Gutter protection systems serve as a barrier that helps discourage creatures from making your gutters their home.
In New Orleans’ unique subtropical climate, homeowners should periodically inspect their gutter protection systems, particularly before and after hurricane season. While LeafFilter’s stainless steel micromesh design handles our region’s heavy rains and blocks common debris from live oaks and magnolias, occasional maintenance includes brushing off any surface debris and checking gutters after major storms. This is especially important for homes in tree-dense areas like Uptown and Garden District.
In New Orleans’ unique climate, with its frequent tropical storms and dense canopy of live oaks, maintaining clear gutters can be challenging. The city’s average annual rainfall of 64 inches, combined with debris from oak trees, magnolias, and Spanish moss, typically requires regular gutter maintenance. Gutter protection systems can help manage these local challenges by reducing debris accumulation and helping to direct rainwater away from your home’s foundation.
Yes, we offer a lifetime transferable warranty on our gutter guard systems. For New Orleans homeowners dealing with frequent tropical storms, heavy rainfall, and debris from live oaks, this warranty provides lasting protection and peace of mind.

Different Types of Gutter Guards Explained
Brush Guards
In New Orleans’ 62+ inches of annual rainfall, brush guards may collect debris from water oaks and crepe myrtles common in areas like the Garden District. During hurricane season (June 1 – November 30), these systems can become saturated, potentially creating weight stress on gutters. The humid climate may accelerate bristle deterioration.
Foam Inserts
With New Orleans’ average humidity levels exceeding 75%, foam inserts can retain excessive moisture. This may lead to deterioration and reduced water flow capacity during intense summer storms. In NOLA’s Uptown and Metairie neighborhoods, these inserts can struggle with the heavy oak canopy and require frequent maintenance.
Screen Guards
Screen guards typically allow smaller debris from local cypress and pine trees to pass through. In areas like Metairie, where storm intensity can reach several inches per hour during hurricane season, screens may become overwhelmed. The high humidity can contribute to premature wear of lower-quality mesh materials.
Reverse Curve/Hood Guards
Reverse curve guards often struggle to manage water flow during New Orleans’ intense downpours, which can exceed 2 inches per hour. The curved design can collect debris from prevalent local vegetation. The region’s intense summer heat (90°F+) may affect the guard’s structural integrity over time.
LeafFilter’s Micromesh Technology
LeafFilter’s surgical-grade stainless steel micromesh is specifically engineered to handle New Orleans’ unique challenges. The 275-micron fine mesh blocks even the smallest debris while utilizing surface tension to maximize water flow. Unlike other systems, our uPVC frame never deteriorates in extreme temperatures, and our pitched design prevents debris accumulation common to other guard types.
