Welcome to the LeafFilter North Community

My problem - my gutters have been on my house approximately nine years. No one of the gutters has come loose from the house and I am trying to fine someone to repair it as the gutters are warranted. Can you help me with this.

It is over two months since I first contacted you regarding an ongoing severe blockage problem in the system you installed last year:

1. First they send somebody around who was not comfortable climbing the ladder to inspect the problem (!)

2.

The rescheduled appointment was a no show.

3. The next rescheduled appointment was a no show.

The assistant project manager for Toronto assigned to deal with the problem is simply hopeless. He ignores my e-mails. He ignores my phone calls.

He refuses to accept voice-mail messages.

I again contacted your service centre last week. They said they were sorry to hear about the hiccups (!) and said they will be contacting the regional managers as well as local managers to take care of the issue.

Nobody has contacted me.

You people boast that you provide the best customer service in the industry. Simply the worst in Toronto.

I had leaf filter installed in April 2019...I ended up having some leaves recently gathering at a couple corners of my roof. I had to get on a ladder, which at 64, I was not excited about and clear the leaves away.

As I looked down the gutter that has leaf filter on I was miffed had how it had warped significantly. I called customer service and a rep came a few weeks later, a Friday and we requested a morning visit and he was a no show but at 4 PM he arrived. My wife was home and he said it would not affect the operation of the product but I disagree. They reached me by phone and he explained that to me.

After thinking about it I have decided we're not satisfied with this answer or the leaf filter product. Attached is a photo.. you let me know if you think this is normal and acceptable to Leaf Filter... doesn't look at all like the ones in your sales brochure.

At this point I wouldn't recommend your product...oh and the person looking at the warping stated that the installer had nothing to fasten it to in the back of the gutter??? Exactly what is needed?

This was not installed properly in my eyes. See attached

Thursday, 9/19/19 signed contract. Friday, 9/20/19 installer informed me that the product could not be installed due to the 'lip' on my gutters.

The 'lip' of the gutter was under the roof, nullifying my roof warranty had they proceeded. Immediately, while installer was still at my house, on 9/20/19, I spoke with office to confirm cancellation.

BUT, Monday, 9/23/19, my check for $2820 was cashed. I have called five times (9/20, 9/23, 9/25, 9/27 and 10/2), with no acknowledgement that my money will be refunded.

They inked my 89 year old senile step-mom to a contract on August 8th and immediately installed the following day before the ink had a chance to dry. Not sure what happened to her 3-day right to rescind?

Initial cost was $5,970 for 164 linear feet, or about $36/ft. They applied a product discount, senior rate, and military discount to bring her cost to $4,477 or “only” $27.30/foot. After I learned of the cost post-installation, I researched pricing at HD & Lowes to discover a material price of less than $3 per linear foot.

The most they can possibly have in this job with material and labor is $1K, so about a 600% markup. Just want anyone considering calling or that have called for service to be aware of this markup and quickie install prior to picking up the phone.

Gutters overflowed within minutes of first rainfall. We cleaned the screen off and I called and workman who came and installed diverter which not only did not help but exacerbated the problem.

Screen gets clogged with debris, so technically the INSIDE of the gutter is not clogged as nothing gets into the gutters; including water. I asked for refund a week ago as the idea was to not clean anything on the gutters. Was told the complaint would be "sent up the chain". That was a week ago.

I see the warranty is only if the INTERIOR of gutters get clogged. Very clever, knowing that the debris sits on top.

Unfortunately this was one of the very rare times I did not research complaints before I signed a contract. I do not recommend this product unless you have a metal roof and no trees with needles on your property.

Had leaf filter installed a year ago on my home and garage for nearly $5,000.This Spring when the heavy rains began, rainwater flowed over my gutters as though I had no gutters . Leaves had packed on top of the Leaf Filter and formed a solid cover.

My gutters were not filled with leaves because they all were all on top of the gutters ,Called Customer Service; said they would get back to me; never did .

Do not buy this expensive product. Ron-Slippery Rock
