Leaffilter North Gutter Reviews and Complaints

During recent weather we have large iceicles hanging from one end of the front gutter. The presents a dangerous situation as it is over the driveway where car is parked

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.

gutters are one year old and have never done what they said they would do. they are always full of leaves and pine needles.

leaf filter rep came to our house and said we needed to take a blower and blow debris from our gutters, that is crazy. do not buy this system it is horrible, use leaf guard instead. I have many pictures of this system not working/ it simply does not work, do not buy, do not buy this system.and now they wont take this review if I don't have at least 100 words. so I will keep saying, don't buy.DONT BUY THIS SYSTEM IT SUCKS!

DONT BUY EVER IT IS THE WORST SYSTEM EVER.

DONT BUY DONT BUY! don't buy

I happened to come across them at a trade show, agreed to a quote.

They called and called and called until I finally set a date, have to say the sales guy Dave Deleonardo was pleasant. I told him I had a budget so when he quoted 4.5k I told him no can do - he quickly came down to 3k and they could do it that week!

We live in CT so my concerns were ice dams and pine needles which he was adamant they would not be an issue because of their amazing patented product, we would never have issues with this. And let me stress I asked him over and over again.......

Needless to say first storm (we had it done March of this year and video is from April) - ice formed on top of the leaf filter, the water poured over and froze in sheets on the floor outside the entire surroundings of our home - it was a nightmare having to get out! I called the 800# and was told they recommend getting a roof rake and scraping the ice off. I was furious, went back and forth and was told apparently this is mentioned in the fine print - I mean come on knowing this would I pay to have to go out and rake my roof!! I asked him to come take it off, I didn't want it and the manager told me they could arrange that but there would be a fee.

Now it's July and when it rains we have the same scenario - pools of water around the foundations. The gutter protection is covered in pine needles and what looks like pollen, not letting any rain water in.

I want these off but as my gutters were new as I had just had new siding - I do not know who to call.

Please take these reviews seriously, all this water around your foundations can only cause damage, its so distressing to see and imagine where it is all going...

The company Customer Service is terrible they will not accept this is an issue.

I used to pay $80-100 twice a year to get my gutters cleaned, how I wish i had read other peoples reviews first.

Water tends to run off and runs behind and in front of gutters. I do NOT recommend this product. Numerous post-installation repairs have been unsuccessful in stopping water runoff behind and in front of gutters. I am now trying to get my money back and get this product taken off of my gutters. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT.

I have been promised, multiple times, a return call from the corporate types who can authorize the refund/uninstallation but to date NO ONE has contacted me. My next stop is the Better Business Bureau and the state Attorney General's office.

Very poor customer support/service.

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT.

Wow. Should have read reviews before believing the brosures & spending THOUSANDS .

I had to have another installer (after numerous phone calls and a discussion with corporate) to remove the corner guards over my front and back doors. When it rained and leaves got stuck behine it the rain came down like waterfalls. Not what was supposed to happen for $$$. Leaf collectors were removed.

Now it is January, raining and snowing... back to sqaure one, Now I have melting snow/ice running over the Leaf Filter cover and dripping on ,once again the front door stairs and back door stairs. This has been happening since the first snow in December. I bought this product somy husband with bad knees would not be cleaning gutters.

Now I have to be sure that neither of us slip on the icy porch and steps and break our older bones. I should have just spent the money to have some one come spring and fall and clean out gutters.

Tired of fighting about how much money I spent and how I trusted what was written Gail M. Van Prooien Rockaway, NJ

I've been a Leaffilter representative for almost 5 years in Michigan. I also have this product on my own house for 3 years now. I have been reading all these stories and reviews of LF problems in its function and service provided. I know that what we promise in our demo is not over promised. This is the best design out there and it keeps all your *** out of your gutters and will take an amazing amount of water without overflow. It does help with ice keeping from building up in your gutters too.

I'm glad I bought it for my own home.

We only install new gutters and Leaffilter, not windows, roofs and siding too. We specialize in 1 thing and do it very well.

If you decide to purchase Leaffilter it will protect your biggest investment your home also the safety factor keeping you off the ladder. AK
