A LeafGuard branded one piece gutter and hood, and similar reverse curve systems, typically run 20 to 40 dollars a linear foot installed, which puts a whole house around 3,000 to 6,000 dollars or more. You are buying a gutter and its cover as a single sold and fitted product, not a guard added to a gutter you already have.

Because it replaces the gutter and adds the cover in one proprietary product, sold installed.
That bundle is convenient, but it removes the option to shop the parts. For how it sits against separate guards, see what sits inside a gutter quote.
The alternative is a standard gutter with a separate guard, which can cost less and lets you choose each part.
| Option | Typical installed range |
|---|---|
| Screen or mesh guard on existing gutter | $2 to $6 per linear foot |
| Micro mesh guard, professionally fitted | $7 to $15 per linear foot |
| One piece reverse curve system | $20 to $40 per linear foot |
If your gutters are sound, a separate guard is often the cheaper route to the same end.
It can be, if your gutters are due for replacement anyway and you value buying the whole solution once. If the gutters are fine, paying to replace them to get a cover is rarely the rational spend.

A LeafGuard style one piece system typically runs 20 to 40 dollars a linear foot installed, or roughly 3,000 to 6,000 dollars for a whole house.
It can be if your gutters need replacing anyway. If they are sound, a separate guard on the existing run usually reaches the same result for less.
A one piece system replaces the gutter and cover together as one product. A normal guard clips onto the gutter you already have.
They are convenient and neatly finished, but they remove the option to shop the parts. Whether that trade is worth the premium depends on the state of your gutters.
