This company tries to sell you an inferior product at a very high price. They'll negotiate, but they start out at a ridiculous price and "wait" to see if you'll take the bait and get raped financially. $10 a foot is a fair price, and they'll settle for this. HOWEVER, DO NOT INSTALL THIS PRODUCT ON YOUR HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD!

They do not stand behind their product. They send horrid installers who have no experience to do the job. The job is done very poorly. And this is from EVERY review you'll find. STAY AWAY FROM LEAF FILTER!

Honestly, the $1.50 stuff you buy at the Home Depot is MUCH higher quality.

Posting on this site may make you feel a little better. It’s a good place to vent. But, you’re not going to get a resolution to your leaffilter problems by posting here. Want to get a resolution from Leaf Filter, or any home improvement company? Just follow the steps below.

1) Facebook

- Post a REVIEW on the company’s Facebook page(s).

- Don’t post a comment to their wall. Post a REVIEW with the star rating. When you post a review the company cannot delete or edit it.

- LeafFilter has 2 Facebook pages where you can leave a Review:

1) facebook.com/LeafFilter/reviews

2) facebook.com/LeafFilterReviews/reviews

Posting Facebook reviews has high visibility, they can only be edited or removed by you, and they will help you get help.

2) Post Reviews on More Prominent Review Sites

-  TrustPilot (trustpilot.com/review/www.leaffilter.com).

- Home Advisor.

- Yelp.

- Angie’s List (if you are a member).

Posting on these sites will impact the company’s marketing and will help you to get a resolution.

3) Better Business Bureau

- File a complaint with your local BBB.

The company will have to respond and defend their actions to the BBB. If/when the BBB receives enough complaints the company’s rating will fall OR they will lose their BBB accreditation.

4) Google Maps/Business

-  Find the company on google.com/maps/ and add your reviews.

- Much like Facebook reviews these can only be edited by you and they have strong public visibility when people search for a company online.

5) Feds & State Government

- Federal Trade Commission: ftc.gov/about-ftc/bureaus-offices/bureau-consumer-protection

-  File a complaint with your state’s attorney general.

- It’s unlikely that your one complaint will cause a response. But if these offices start seeing the same company’s name over and over again they will eventually take action.

- NOTE, if you are a senior who feels you were misled be sure to include this information.

6) Cash is King

- Last, but for from least, did you pay with a credit card or financing?

- If so, great! Contact your financial institution and dispute the charges. Your credit card company or bank will side with you until the matter is resolved in your favor.

If you want to vent, this site is a great resource. If you want to take actions that will get you results then just follow the steps above.

This is a rip off. They charge you 12.00 a foot for screens! he first gave me a price for $20.00 a foot, This guy George Bertran is a crook and so are his salesman he tells you he will give the material for free because he has extra. ***! High pressure.

All work is subcontracted don't let them tell you anything else.

The debris lands on top and dose not dry up and blow away.

It dose not do anything, it wont let water in, snow of anything else.

This is a big scam.

JUST DON'T DO IT!!!!

Three weeks ago, I had a LeafFilter rep come by and tell me about the system. He had this great portfolio that with detail told me how they were above all the rest.

With NO CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS ever! Well, this was not the case with me. I bought this high priced system, and got *** from the install to the failed attempts to correct their wrongs. They damaged multiple roof singles, installed down spouts in different orientations, broke multiple plants in my flower beds.

I actually walked out while one of the installers was pulling a flowering plant and told me he was pulling out my weeds. I guess LeafFilter also does gardening. They also managed to get caulking on my fairly new window solar screens as well as scratch up and chip my newly stained balcony. Oh yes, they also took it upon them selves to break branches off my trees and plants that surrounded the house.

Ive asked LeafFilter to come out and replace the damaged shingles and now they are telling me that they were that way at install. That the clear caulking that they filled the cracked shingles with was just out of courtesy. Please note the way the gutter system pushed up at my roof line thus forcing shingles up. Also the multiple openings and separation in the system that "not even a granule of sand can get through." I've asked LeafFilter to come remove the system and they refuse.

Oh yes, that CUSTOMER SATISFACTION CERTIFICATE that they give you to check off at the completion of install, my installer and LeafFilter rep told me they didn't care if I filled it out. That they know i wasn't satisfied!

So I have a nice crisp certificate sitting here with no Installer signature, Customer Signature or date. just Job# 00103

Not being "negative", just "real"...here's some points homeowners should look into about Leaf Filter.

1. Warranty.

Check the warranty. Leaffilter guarantees that the interior of your gutters will not clog but offers no guarantee that their screen will not clog.

Their product completely covers your gutter. Of course nothing will clog the interior...it's covered by the screen. But when the screen clogs (as many complaints indicate) then water will run over.

2. Consumer Reports.

Leaffilter claims to be the #1 rated gutter guard by Consumer Reports.

Look it up yourself. Google "consumer reports gutter guards". Gutter Glove was rated substantially higher. And Consumer Reports had negative comments about all pro installed systems.

Company salesperson reviewed work to be done in Ohio, then wrote up a contract to install about 95 feet of gutter protection for $1,284. First crew came out and could not start because they did not have the necessary scaffolding to work around the hot tub area.

Sale manager, Drew, called to reschedule and also to work out details on an issue the initial installers founds. Drew was very professional.

But, the day before the rescheduled installation, someone called from the company telling me they are canceling the contract (which is not a provision in their contract) because they did not want to pay to erect scaffolding. Integrity is, in my opinion, severely lacking with management.

My Leaf filters were installed 2 years ago and the ares of the house that is directly under a tree is clogged. I mean their filter is clogged. The fine mesh screen is clogged with leaf and tree particles and mildue. The company vice president, said they will have to be cleaned.

They will not stand behind the warranty of the product. POOR DESIGN.

Can you believe it !

I paid to have gutter protection installed to keep from having to get on a ladder to clean my gutters, and now I have to clean the filters !

DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT

And every post pretty much hit it on the head:

* slam all the competitors first, lock in your product as most logical solution

* price- some BS price sheet- starts out $30.00 per foot

* NO- price drops 20%

* What would you pay for the system question posed

* Throw out a low ball number, sales guy says no

* I tell him I'm done

* He calls manager at my kitchen table (was really a make believe call as his cell phone didn't light up

* He drops price to right under my low ball

* I still said no when I saw it was a make believe call and called him out on it

* Finally Threw him out no more then 20 minutes ago

It's all true, thanks for saving me a fortune!

Caveat Emptour Evereyone!

I worked as a Leaf Filter sales rep for about a year (in 2013). everything bad you have posted is true - and there's more.

At the Friday morning sales meetings the reps and managers sit around a table laughing about the sales they made - mostly who could come up with a better lie to get a customer's signature. The reason they install jobs so fast . . is so customers don't wise up and cancel - seriously!

The BOTTOM price managers can offer is $10 per foot plus $10 per corner.

(the rep loses his fat commission at this point) If you place an order, then try to cancel b4 install, they'll give you this price. Reps get paid 10% commission at $22/ft and, NOTICE this, HALF of the money YOU pay above $22/ft.
