See What Our Rochester Customers Have to Say

“Outstanding fast service. I had been thinking about installing Leaf guard for a couple of years but was afraid it would probably be too expensive. I emailed for a estimate and within a day the salesperson was here. I did need new gutters so ordered both gutters and leaf guard system. With the discounts (I am a senior) I felt the price was reasonable. They came the next day to do the installation. The crew was outstanding. They cleaned up and took the old gutters away. I am very pleased and would highly recommend.”

“I had some gutters that were clogged, and too high for me to clean out. They also leaked because of items in the gutter. LeafFilter came in and cleaned the gutters, checked their alignment, and added the guards. The same afternoon, a huge rain storm came through, and I was able to observe that where I normally saw water overflowing in the gutter, it was not happening now. What a relief!”

“Workers arrived on time, professional and polite……gutters cleaned out and realigned….install of gutter guards done very well….since installation torrential rain off/on nearly every day….such an improvement…no more gutter cleaning and we have peace of mind….and satisfied with the cost….highly recommend.”

Rochester’s Climate Challenges
Rochester’s Weather Strains Gutter Systems
Rochester’s location near Lake Ontario creates intense weather challenges for homeowners’ gutter systems. With annual snowfall exceeding 100 inches and year-round precipitation from lake-effect patterns, homes in neighborhoods like Brighton, Irondequoit, and Pittsford face constant moisture management challenges that demand reliable gutter protection.
Spring
Melting snow combines with spring rains while maple and oak trees shed seed pods, overwhelming unprotected gutters. Common debris from Rochester’s abundant shade trees can block proper drainage during crucial thaw periods.
Summer
Lake Ontario influences create intense thunderstorms and high humidity levels across Monroe County. Sudden downpours test gutter systems while windstorms scatter leaves and twigs from mature neighborhood trees.
Fall
Rochester’s dense population of oak and maple trees creates heavy leaf fall throughout autumn. These leaves, combined with pine needles from local evergreens, pose significant risks for unprotected gutter systems.
Winter
Heavy lake-effect snow and freezing temperatures challenge Rochester’s gutter systems. LeafFilter prevents debris from entering gutters that can cause clogs leading to ice dam formation inside gutters.
Did You Know?
Based on Rochester’s ~34 inches of yearly precipitation, a single story 2,000 sq. ft home gutter system will handle over 42,398 gallons of water annually.
Rochester’s Tree-Lined Streets – Year-Round Protection
From Park Avenue’s stately maples to Brighton’s towering pines, Rochester’s neighborhoods face unique gutter challenges through all four seasons. Heavy lake effect snow and intense storms combine with falling debris to threaten homes’ gutter systems. Without proper protection, Rochester’s Colonial and Victorian homes are especially vulnerable to water damage.
Neighborhood Maples
Sugar and Red Maples line Rochester’s historic streets, dropping helicopter seeds in spring and colorful leaves in fall. This seasonal debris can clog gutters, risking water damage during the region’s frequent storms.
Pittsford Oaks
Throughout Pittsford and surrounding areas, mature Red and White Oaks shed substantial leaves and acorns. This natural debris can build up in gutters, potentially contributing to ice dam formation during harsh Rochester winters.
Local Evergreens
White Pines and Eastern Hemlocks, abundant in Brighton and Irondequoit neighborhoods, shed needles continuously. Pine needles can accumulate in gutters, making professional-grade protection essential for maintaining proper water flow.

Different Types of Gutter Guards Explained
Brush Guards
Common in Rochester neighborhoods like Brighton and Pittsford, brush-style guards initially catch large debris but require regular maintenance as fine particles settle between bristles. Lake Effect snow and local evergreen needles can become trapped in the bristles, reducing effectiveness over time and potentially affecting water flow during spring thaws.
Foam Inserts
In Rochester’s variable climate, foam inserts face distinct challenges. The porous material can become saturated during Lake Ontario’s influence on local rainfall patterns. These inserts may compress under heavy snow loads common in Irondequoit and surrounding areas, and require periodic replacement as the material naturally degrades.
Screen Guards
Screen guards, while popular in Rochester residential areas, have openings that allow smaller debris like maple seeds and oak tassels to pass through. The mesh material requires seasonal maintenance, especially during fall when leaves from Monroe County’s abundant deciduous trees can mat on the surface and impact proper drainage.
Reverse Curve/Hood Guards
These systems rely on water tension principles which can be challenged during Rochester’s intense summer storms. The curved design may struggle with the volume of debris from mature trees common in older neighborhoods like Park Avenue. Installation typically involves working near roof edges and requires professional expertise.
LeafFilter’s Micromesh Technology
LeafFilter’s surgical-grade stainless steel micromesh is specifically engineered to handle Rochester’s 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.
