How it works
Water sticks. Leaves do not.
Lifetime No Clog Guarantee. If your LeaFree gutters ever clog, we clear them free.
Made in Omaha
Rainwater clings to the curved aluminum hood through surface tension, wraps the nose-forward edge, and flows into your gutter through openings about a half inch wide. Leaves, seeds, and needles have no adhesion, so they ride past the edge and fall to the ground. That is the whole trick, and it is why a solid hood keeps working where mesh mats over.
The seven things happening on your roofline
Debris slides off
Debris and leaves either slide off the surface or dry up and get blown away.
The nose-forward cover
The nose-forward cover extends beyond the gutter lip, allowing water to follow the hood curve and flow into the gutter, effectively washing away leaves and debris.
Water adhesion at work
LeaFree® works on the scientific principle of water adhesion, where water sticks to other surfaces. In this case, it is the nose-forward hood of LeaFree.
The flex-bend seam
The flex-bend slows water flow and directs some roof runoff through the vertical perforations.
Any roof pitch
Regardless of your roof pitch, LeaFree efficiently manages water intake and directs it through your gutters.
No hangers or brackets
LeaFree does not install with additional hangers or brackets that can move or shift over time.
Built for the heaviest rain
Even during the heaviest rainstorms, water flows through LeaFree into the gutter, out through the downspouts, and away from your home.
That is surface tension. That is the whole trick.
Two panels. Every roof covered.
LeaFree Regular is the low-profile hood for most homes: it blends the gutter line with your shingles and hides the flashing.
LeaFree High-Flow adds pill-shaped vents for concentrated water: roof valleys, steep pitches, metal roofs, and first-story gutters that catch a second-story downspout.
Both are .024-gauge recycled aluminum in 4-foot interlocking panels, rated for 12 inches of rain per hour. For reference, the average hurricane drops less than 1 inch of rain per hour.
Installed the roofer's way.
Panels slide under your first row of shingles and screw to the gutter lip with stainless steel zip screws. Nothing penetrates your roof deck or fascia, nothing voids your shingle warranty, and the interlocking panels expand and contract with Nebraska's temperature swings. Pre-made inside miters with built-in splash guards handle the corners, and end caps close the system to birds and squirrels.

Questions people ask
How does LeaFree let rain in and keep leaves out?
Surface tension. Rain clings to the curved aluminum cover, wraps the nose-forward edge and flows into the gutter. Leaves, seeds and needles have nothing to cling with, so they ride past the edge and fall to the ground.
What is the difference between LeaFree Regular and High-Flow?
LeaFree Regular is the low-profile cover for most rooflines. LeaFree High-Flow adds pill-shaped vents for concentrated water: roof valleys, steep pitches, metal roofs, and first-story gutters that catch a second-story downspout.
Will installing gutter guards damage my roof?
Not the way LeaFree installs. Panels tuck under your first row of shingles and screw only to the lip of the gutter. Nothing is nailed or screwed into your roof deck or fascia, so there is nothing to leak and nothing to void a shingle warranty.
Do I need new gutters for LeaFree?
Usually not. LeaFree installs over your existing 5-inch and 6-inch gutters, tucked under the first row of shingles and screwed to the gutter lip. If your gutters do need repair, we fix what needs fixing and keep the rest.
How long does installation take?
Most Omaha homes are finished in a single day. Panels arrive in 4-foot interlocking sections that our crews custom-bend to your roof pitch on site, so corners, valleys, and odd rooflines rarely slow things down.
