We had a very good experience with leaf guard. Evan was very knowledgeable when he showed us the product. The two guys who came out and installed the new gutters, sorry I forgot there names, did a great job. We are very happy with the fit and finish of the gutters.

We couldn’t be happier getting our new leaf guard gutters! Everyone starting with the first phone call, then Jeff, the salesperson, and then the crew of Tommy and Darren that installed the leaf guards were so kind, and efficient! What a great experience! Thank you!

Leafguard was wonderful to deal with! They came out and did a free inspection , shared their findings and recommendations. They were not pushy and very flexible with our decision. Their team installed our new gutters and removed the old clogged ones. They really look great. Such a relief to no longer have to climb ladders and clean gutters twice a year.
We are very happy with LeafGuard!

The price of the gutters were a little higher than a competition. But the quality of leaf guard was well worth the price. He installers were very professional, and their attention to detail was awesome . We are very happy with the decision we made, and have already recommended Leaf Guard to friends. We should’ve done this years ago.

IS YOUR ROOF FAILING?
If you’re noticing signs that your roof may be failing, LeafGuard of Cincinnati can help you understand whether a complete GAF asphalt roofing system is the right next step for your home.
LEAKY ATTIC
Wind-driven rains and severe storms can cause your attic to experience leaking. Inadequate insulation can also cause ice dams to form allowing water to start entering your home through your attic.
PAINT BLISTERING AND PEELING
Excessive temperatures and high humidity levels can cause moisture to get trapped in your home causing your interior and exterior paint to start peeling and blistering.
MOLD AND MILDEW STAINS
Mold and mildew thrive in environments where excessive moisture is present. Failed roofing underlayment will result in water penetrating into your home.
EXTERIOR DECAY
If you’re noticing exterior decay, it’s frequently a signal that your attic lacks proper levels of ventilation.
CURLED, CRACKED, OR MISSING SHINGLES
Any of these scenarios mean that your roof is no longer providing an effective barrier against Mother Nature. Cracked shingles mean your roof has reached the end of its lifespan.
DARK AND DIRTY LOOKING ROOF
RISING ENERGY COSTS
High cooling and heating costs are a tell-tale sign of inadequate attic ventilation causing your energy bills to rise.
AGE
While the GAF roofs we install come with a 50-year, non-prorated warranty on both labor and materials, most others do not. Asphalt roofs as young as 20-years-old can need replacement due to inferior shingle quality or subpar installation.
GAF Roof System Details That Matter
A long-lasting GAF asphalt roofing system depends on more than shingle selection. Proper leak protection, roof deck preparation, valley installation, and manufacturer-specific installation practices all play a role in how your new roof performs.
Watch the videos below to learn more about the GAF products and installation details LeafGuard of Cincinnati uses to help protect your home.
GAF WEATHER WATCH & STORMGUARD
Help protect your home from costly wall and ceiling staining. WeatherWatch®, a quality leak barrier, will create a seal that helps keep water out at the most vulnerable areas of your roof. StormGuard® is GAF’s waterproof underlayment.
TIMBERLINE® ASPHALT ROOF INSTALLATION
Your roof represents 40% of your overall curb appeal. That’s why it’s imperative to select a reputable product that’s installed to the manufacturer’s exact specifications.
HOW TO PROPERLY SHINGLE ROOF VALLEYS
During heavy rainfalls, the valley of your roof comes in contact with the most precipitation. It’s important that your roofer pays close attention to this area and selects the configuration that works best for your home.
ROOF DECK-TEAR OFF AND PREPARATION
Proper tear-off of your old roof and inspection of your roof deck creates the perfect environment for your new roof to be installed.

A Complete Roofing System, Not Just New Shingles
A reliable roof is more than the shingles you see from the street. A properly installed GAF asphalt roofing system includes multiple layers of protection designed to work together to help defend your home from wind, rain, snow, sun, and moisture.
We install GAF roofing materials with careful attention to the entire system, not just the visible shingles. From roof deck preparation to leak protection, ventilation, starter strips, and ridge caps, every layer plays a role in long-term performance.
Key GAF Roofing System Components
Leak Barriers
GAF leak barriers, including options such as WeatherWatch® and StormGuard®, add protection in areas where water problems are most likely to occur, including valleys, eaves, skylights, dormers, flashings, and roof penetrations.
Roof Deck Protection
Roof deck protection acts as a protective layer between your roof deck and shingles, helping create a stronger foundation for your new GAF asphalt roofing system.
Starter Strip Shingles
Starter strip shingles help secure the roof edges, where wind uplift and weather exposure can put added pressure on the roofing system.
Attic Ventilation
Balanced attic ventilation supports airflow so your roofing system can perform as intended and helps reduce trapped heat and moisture in the attic.
Ridge Cap Shingles
Ridge cap shingles finish and protect some of the most visible and vulnerable parts of your roof while helping complete the look of your GAF asphalt roofing system.
