LeafFilter

★★★★★ 4.6 [Google (445 reviews)](https://www.google.com/maps/search/LeafFilter) as of August 2026

Largest gutter guard installer in North America. 275-micron micro-mesh blocks pine needles.

![Remy](/images/remy/face-6aa3719e.png) Remy's Take

LeafFilter's 275-micron surgical-grade stainless steel mesh is finer than most gutter-guard competitors, backed by a lifetime transferable warranty and a 14-point comparison framework against competitors. Reviews are positive on sales and installation crew professionalism; pricing runs higher than a basic local gutter contractor, and some reviewers report negotiating a lower price after an initial quote — it's worth asking directly what discounts are available.

LeafGuard

★★★★★ 4.9 [Google (841 reviews)](https://www.google.com/maps/search/LeafGuard) as of August 2026

One-piece seamless gutter + guard system. 36 states, lifetime no-clog guarantee, custom-fabricated on-site.

![Remy](/images/remy/face-6aa3719e.png) Remy's Take

LeafGuard's one-piece seamless gutter design eliminates the seams where most clogs start, and reviews on their installation quality and crew professionalism are strong. As with several gutter-guard companies that sell via in-home consultation, get the full price and any financing terms in writing before your consultation ends, and don't feel obligated to decide the same day.

## Why Does Gutter Installation Cost What It Does in Birmingham?

Installed cost in Birmingham runs roughly **7% below** the national average for this trade. That figure is not a cost-of-living index — it is built from Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data for the Birmingham, AL metro area, weighted by the roughly **34%** of a gutter installation job that is labor rather than material.

Local trade wages sit about **22% below** the national figure, but the installed price moves less than that, because material ships at national prices no matter where you live. This is why a quote from a high-wage metro is rarely as far above the national average as people expect — and why a suspiciously cheap quote in an expensive market is worth a second look.
