How to notify LeafFilter of your cancellation in writing?
LeafFilter contracts can be canceled, but it should be done in writing. In writing does not mean it has to be by mail, but that is one way, mail in a cancellation to the address on your contract.
When you notify them you should include your name as it appears on the contract, the address for the services to be performed. If you want to make it easier for them to find the contract you could include your LeafFilter job number. It will look something like this. JAX4587 CIN9854
Here are ways to cancel in writing:
- Send a letter to the address on the contract. I would put in a copy of the contract and write cancel on it. With a note saying you no longer desire their services.
- Send an email or text to the rep that sold you LeafFilter if you have that info. May times LeafFilter sales people will not give you their contact info due to the fact they are not LeafFilter employees, they just like the people doing the work on your home are subcontractors.
- You can send an email to [email protected] to request cancelation. This is the email address that all jobs are set into LeafFilter’s main office.
- Visit the office address on your contract and give them written cancelation. If no one is there leave the envelope with your cancelation in the door.
- Call the customer service number on your contract and tell them you wish to cancel. Ask them what email address to send it in to. These people are phone drones to set appointments but they should help you.
Don’t let LeafFilter Access Your Home for Install
If you do not get anywhere with the tips given above the easiest thing to do is not let them do the work. If they show up to do the work tell them that they cannot do the work and you cancelled. They will try to talk you into doing the work but stand your ground. Let them know that if they do the work you will not pay them. That will usually get them to leave as they are subcontractors to LeafFilter and if you do not pay they do not get paid.

Are leaf guards a waste of money?
The answer to this question is not a simple yes or no. Leaf guards can be a helpful addition to your gutter system, but they are not always necessary. If you live in an area with a lot of trees, or if you have a lot of leaves and debris falling into your gutters, then leaf guards may be a good investment. However, if you live in an area with little to no trees, or if your gutters are not constantly clogged with leaves and debris, then leaf guards may not be necessary.
Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to invest in leaf guards is up to you. If you think that leaf guards will help to keep your gutters clean and free-flowing, then they may be worth the investment. However, if you are not concerned about leaves and debris clogging your gutters, then you may not need to invest in leaf guards.
