Welcome to the LeafFilter North Community

I had this system installed in 2010. If this truly is a "lifetime" warranty then why are they not using stainless steel screws/washers to install them?

The rust from their screws streaked down the new gutters that I had installed at the same time. I spoke to a rep at the Philadelphia Flower Show about it and was told that there should not be rust.

Someone from the company came out to replace the screws but did not seem to know if the new ones were stainless because he was "just a worker". Changing the screws did nothing to improve the looks because the rust still remains on the Leaf Filter as well as the streaks on my gutters

Signed up at a trade show for an estimate. They wasted no time getting to the house for an estimate.

The gentleman told me he was the ' commercial accounts manager' and that he normally don't estimate but they were very busy and he had to come out. After an hour of hearing him bash and bad mouth every other system on the market he gave me an estimate that basically was about $30 per foot. That is when it began. He said since he was the commercial accounts manager he would put my order in as commercial and give me commercial pricing.

Was still way too high ($7300) after another two price drops he called his boss. (Beau- I think it was) Beau said he was gonna 'bundle' my order in with a big order he was placing but I had to agree to let them install my system the next day. Now how are they gonna order my material with another and install the next morning?

Any way he dropped the price to what was about $10 per ft. This I feel is very shady and asked them to leave.

After the system was installed I noticed every shrub and bush around the home started to turn a gray color and eventually every last tree, flower and blade of grass around my home had died. All LeafFilter's fault.

Also the neighbor's bushes and trees are starting to look pretty bad too. He had some questions about my yard dying and then started to notice his stuff was dying in his yard too. So now he's mad at me when he should be mad at LeafFilter. Please be careful while dealing with this company.

You could loose your trees like I did.

Thanks for reading.

Installed (Redmond, Washington 98053) a total Leaf Filter gutter system on 9/14/10 and received a life time warranty. The first year of use and thereafter I experienced the following issues:

1. Filter screen became clogged and did not allow water into gutter.

2. Pine needles and maples leaves did not blow off when days became windy versus company's advertisement claim.

3. Replacement screens (larger hole opening) were installed in several locations and they also became clogged preventing rain water from entering gutter resulting in rain water falling into flower bed.

4. When local original installer closed business or was bought out, the new Redmond, Washington local Leaf Filter distributor disowned any responsibility for maintaining the life time warranty and said I would have to pay for the repair. No response to phone inquiry asking for assistance to fixing the situation.

From my experience, the Leaf Filter system does not live up to their advertisements. Nor does the company fully back up their warranty. I will now have to hire another company to rework the filter screens in key locations to ensure the rain water actually goes into the gutter and not fall into the flower beds. I am not satisfied with the product or company and I would not recommend this system.

It's a get rich quick scam for the company, and it won't be long before they have to many complaints and lawsuits and will file for bankruptcy. And run laughing all the way to the bank.

I have seen them sell the product to a customer for $28.00 a foot and then run into a tougher sell customer and sell the same exact thing to the harder to sell costumer for as little as $10.00 a foot. So it is a real scam.

Oh and if u do sign the contract, call the next day, cancel, and u will get it offered to you as low as $10.00 a foot to keep the sale.

My gutters have been on my NE Portland house for two years and there's continued gutter clogging. I have to go out with the long handled broom they gave me to swept off needles or ask someone to get up on a ladder to clean off needles.

I paid over $6,000 for the gutters and there's still overflowing on my front side of the house.

I tried to get someone out to check them but there would a a fee of $147 to just look at them. I'm so disappointed in their service and follow-up Don't buy these gutters!

I had this installed at my home near Hastings, Mi where we have massive amounts of trees, I was concerned because the product sits flat and I told the sales person that when he came out my concern. Then the lying started, he told me that they gave your money back if gutters clogged, and they were rated #1 by consumer reports magazine and the wind blows everything off if the rain doesn't wash it off.

Also he said in a heavy rain it will not run over the gutters.

All of these were lies because before my leaves fell and didnt wash off we had a light to moderate rain and it was like I had no gutters all, then when the leaves fell my gutters were non existant. This company doesnt return calls, they lie to you when you call and they dont ever give people their money back.

I had this and brand new gutters installed in Holland, MI and I must say that from Day it was a disaster, first the Sales Manager Rick Mosbey said that we could match any color perfectly which was a complete lie. He then say that they wouldnt stick anything under my shingles, that was also a lie because they put straps under my shingles which the liar was so against.

Then he told me that everything would blow right off, GUESS WHAT ANOTHER LIE!!!!! The stuff sticks right to the SURGICALLY ENGINEERED MICROMESH and my gutters are non existent so therefore we spent $7400.00 for gutters and its worse than not having gutters at all.

This company is a joke they were not willing to offer any solutions other than go spray them off with the hose, this would be okay but we just had them installed. I wouldnt refer this company to my worst enemy.

I seen them at a show in kalamazoo, mi and this lady insisted no it doesnt clog so i figured okay Ill take a look. The sale guy or Manager as he said no we give you your money back if it clogs.

Then we wanted to think about it and they guys refused to leave so we signed and then sent in the notice to cancel and by the time we got home they had installed the product a day early. The sales guy said SORRY THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO!!!!!

now our gutters have more ice than before and they clog with everything. I took them off and threw them away THIS PRODUCT IS AWFUL!!!!

This company sold a job for 5800.00 which came out to 28 dollars a foot. I am an installer and they pay us 1.00 per foot to install this.

They wanted me to go 85 miles and chisel ice out of a gutter and didnt want to pay me an extra trip charge. Not to mention the operations manager RICK MOSBY lied about the roads being bad and there were 4 installers and 2 marketers waiting for their checks that all drove on the same roads and RICK MOSBY decided just to stay home.

Beware of this company!!!! They will overcharge you and their leadership and customer service is horrible!

I had this installed near Traverse City and I was told by the sales representative that everything would wash off. WRONG!!!

I have a white Birch tree and the stuff just piles up like wet newspaper and the water runs right over the top, this results in me having to scrape off my gutter protection that I was told I would never have to clean.

Also I have a Metal roof which they told me it wouldnt be a problem but the ice problem is far worse now that I have had this installed this on my house. Never again Ill just clean them for the price I paid.

I worked for Leaffilter North of Michigan. As a ritual every morning the Operations Manager (Rick Mosby) and the installation Manager would sit down and try to figure out how to get people that were refusing to pay because of a badly installed job to pay.

We went to Florida for a Company Trip and I was physically assaulted (Pictures to follow) I was beaten within an inch of my life by the two officers CHRIS COUNAHAN (vice president of sales) AND JOE ROSCHIVAL(vice president of installation) and the Charlotte, NC Operations Manager Beah Leahy. I will be posting videos of this on you tube and have also sent them to several News Channels in which some have contacted me to interview next week.

MATT KAULIG (OWNER) refused to do anything about the matter and forced me to resign, I am currently in the process of suing and will follow up on progress along with you tube videos. BUYERS BEWARE!!!!

my product buckles twists and is not made for extreme temperatures the screws they used rusted in 2 years

the installer was thorough and installed it like salesman

said they would wish i went to a metal type material

plastic is not right material put on ur house or any house

in my opinion my neighbor 4 houses down has roughly same size house they charged me 2600 dollars and he payed 1850

after looking at both houses we pratically have same amount

gutters very unhappy i feal i was took for a fool i wish everybody would post what they paid and amount gutter they have and im sure a lot other people got screwed like i did

I requested an estimate online. Someone got back to me within 24 hours, to tell me that someone would contact me!

That never happened. I wrote an email and they never even bothered to respond to it! In the email I explained that I had never been contacted by a representative to come out and provide an estimate. Can't imagine what their service would be like if they can't even get their act together to give an estimate.

Too bad really, I had read Consumer Reports and it gave them a very favorable review. Would not trust them at all now.
