I just checked out the leaf blaster after it has been up for two weeks. It is working perfect. Even the smallest little seed looking things are on top of the guard I'm not in the gutter. Amazing. AND not a single leaf is even sitting on top of the guard.
It is nice to have gutter guards to keep the pine needles out of my gutters. I'm happy that the owner of Acclaim Contracting (Brent Swanson) told me about the LeafBlaster Gutter Guards. I have a large pine tree in my yard that drops a lot of needles on my roof. Now I won't have to clean my gutters.
Grit sloughing off the new Asphalt Shingles clogs the mesh, causing over-run and staining on the front of the gutters. This requires extra maintenance initially, until the new shingles "wash off." The Brush should help keep the mesh clear.
I waited a long time to find a gutter guard I want to use. I am very happy with the quality of the installation and LeafBlaster Pro. A week after the LeafBlaster Pro was installed we had a major storm with 70 mph winds. My gutter guards kept the debris out of the gutters so I had no gutter problems causing water problems. They even keep out the pine needles from my neighbor's tree.
Experiencing our first rainfall since installation and the product is performing as I had hoped. I observed the installation and was impressed by the material used and by the process of screwing the gutter guards to my gutters.

12-3-20 I just had my LeafBlaster Pro gutter guards installed and they look great. We get a lot of rain in my area (about 60 inches per year) and when it rains, it rains hard. I will see how they handle the debris from the trees around my house along with the rain, then I'll come back and update my review.

7-5-21 Went through our first winter with the LeafBlaster Pro gutter guards and they did great! We only received about 25 inches of rain last winter/spring (instead of usual 60 inches), but the gutter guards allowed water to flow through the gutter system during the heaviest of rainfalls, and never poured over the top and off the roof. I don't expect any issues if we get our normal 60 inches of rain this coming winter, but if there are, then I will update my review again.
The LeafBlaster system has only been installed for a week, and it has not rained or snowed, so I cannot really speak to how it will work. We live in a pine forest, so we are hopeful it will filter out both leaves and pine needles.
I had a plastic product before the LeafBlaster Pro installation, and had continuing problems with the weight of the leaves overwhelming the product and filling the gutters. This product has definitely stopped that issue. While I will still have to blow my roof off, the gutters are clean and the water flows as it should.
I am very pleased with the work of Flo rite. We would definitely recommend them. They were very helpful and answered all of my questions. They cleaned everything up when they finished. I am excited about my new gutters and guards from LeafBlaster.
The crew was pleasant and efficient, the job was complete within a few days if my request. They replaced broken plastic gutter guards that hadn't prevented sparrows and squirrels from nesting in there! These aluminum mesh covers from CA are warranteed for decades. I'm glad they use top quality products that will outlast me! What a relief to find the right solution to this problem of being a gutter motel for critters. They are new so I don't know how well they work, but how could they not keep out everything but water? I also think these will help with my icicle problems because the full plastic covers didn't allow for enough water to
Be carried away, so I think the roof dripped. Also with climate change and multiple thunder storms, we need better catchment and diversion to drain pipes, and to rain barrels!
Last April (2020) I had my roof replaced and then subsequently, my gutters with Leaf Guards were replaced within a week or so. I love the fact that I no longer have to pay to have my gutters cleaned out annually.
I live in Redwoods and the LeafBlaster system is a game changer that actually works for the needles! I've had two previous failed systems and LeafBlaster is by far the best investment I've made. 100% satisfied.
LeafBlasterPro is going to be so great! Never have to hire anybody to clean the gutters again. Or nag your husband or any other member of the family capable of this messy job.
Thank you LeafBlasterPro!
We have a large Live Oak overhanging a large area of our roof, including a long valley that will collect the majority of the these small leaves that have fallen. We must clean the gutter/screen at the bottom of this valley, but it has been between these cleanings where these screens impress! There was approx 1" of leaves on the screen (below the valley) just prior to the rain. The deck just had the leaf blower put to it and was clear. Started raining, then a down pour. A rush of water came down this valley, blew out the leaves while staying in the gutter. Stood there and watched. Could not ask for more. Pricey, but the REAL DEAL!
I purchased the Leafblaster Pro when I installed my new gutters this year and they are very effective at keeping pine needles and other pine debris out of the gutter. Needles simply blow off with the wind. I live in a heavily forested area and my gutters are free and clear of debris. Thank goodness!
Before installing Leafblaster our upper gutters would overflow with even a small rain. Since they have been installed we have not had any water overflow from our gutters. I have not had to clean them yet, but it does not seem hard to do.
These are really well built and will save our new roof and gutter system from any sort of damage in the future from leafs, needles and grit that had accumulated in those areas in the past. This is the last roof and gutter system we will have to put on our home, so will enjoy 40 years of the comfort of knowing that this system will last!
We live in a woods and have had leaves in our gutters since day one of living there. Already, on day one of LeafBlaster being installed, I watched leaves blow down the roof and glide right over the gutter instead of landing in them. I'm so happy to never have to clean the nasty leaves out to the gutters.
I just had the Pro LeafGuard installed yesterday so too early to give a realistic comment about the guards. I can say that the guards look like they will have the ability to keep the Maple tree pods that have clogged my gutters in the past out of the gutters.
The product is well built and has some solid engineering behind it. I was a little skeptical that water could pass through the fine stainless steel mest. I took a piece while it was being installed and held it under a faucet turned on full and I was amazed that the water was just blasting straight through it.
Answer: White pine needles do penetrate through the screen and get stuck.
Answer: Yes, but you can bend them and attach to the fascia instead of going under the shingles.
Answer: The only comparable product that I am aware of is Leaf Filter, which is outrageous in price! LeafBlaster is a MUCH better value than Leaf Filter.
Answer: I saw his employee at a neighbors and saw the excellent work he did.
