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

Fact: when the temperature drops below 32 degrees Fahrenheit water will freeze. Sure some water will freeze on top of the Leaf Filter Micro Mesh Screen (which is by the way 100% American made Surgical grade Stainless Steel, the best screen money can buy) but it will also freeze on the roof above the gutters.

Once the ice and snow starts to melt, the Leaf Filter will allow ALL THE WATER to drain into the gutters and out the downspouts. This is possible because absolutely no debris can ever get into your gutter to clog them when the Leaf Filter system is in place.

Leaf Filter North is the fastest growing Home Improvement Company in the US because their Gutter Protection product is FAR SUPERIOR to all other gutter protection products on the market. Their competitors are running scared, that's why their competitors keep writing the lies.

This is unacceptable. We want ur company to remove ur entire gutter protection & refund us we will go w / someone else or we would rather pay someone to clean our gutters than for our house to look like this U personally looked @ our gutters & roof when u were out to sell us on the gutter covers. BTW, Shawn that was out to put the ugly things up said we will still have to periodically clean behind the shields. That is why we decided to have gutter covers put on in the first place.

This co had a booth at the Home Show in Indianapolis, IN 2014 . We filled out a card to have them talk to us about their gutter covers. On 2/1 Kelvin came out to sell us on their gutter covers. We decided to go w/ the co due to the fact my husband's sister and b-in-law had the same covers put on their gutters approx 4 yrs ago and likes them and Kelvin was very convincing they would work for us. The installers came out 2/6 in the snow and ice to install them. The back gutter covers poured water on the ground when it rained. They came out again to fix that problem on 2/25. When it rained in Mar 2014 the covers over the porch poured water onto the ground so again we called the co, they came out to fix the problem. On 4/28 the gutter covers were leaking again. On 4/29 the office said someone would be out on 5/1 to fix the over flow. On 5/1 a guy was out and said our problem is the severe pitch of the roof and that we would need shields but didn't explain how ugly they are. Someone was to come out to add the shields on 5/10 but they were a no show and didn't give us a courtesy call to say they wouldn't be out. My husband stayed home all day. I called the co on 5/10 and 5/12 leaving messages to see when someone would be out to install the shields but no one returned my call. On 5/13 a Greg, area supervisor came out said he would be out 5/15 to put the shields on but again a no show. On 5/14 we had a deluge of rain, I looked out the front door, it looked like Niagra Falls pouring water onto the ground from the gutters. On 5/16 Shawn came out to install the shields. They look terrible and are unacceptable. Matt called my husband yesterday 5/19/14 and talked terrible to him. I then called Matt today 5/20, he was so rude I could not believe he would talk to a paying customer like that just because I want a refund since their gutter covers won't work for the pitch of our roof. Matt accused me of ripping a contractor off because we want a refund. I'm filing this complaint because of Kelvin & Matt mostly vs the Co.

An apology from Matt would be nice but w/ his unprofessional attitude that will not happen. I also feel Kelvin was wrong not telling us their gutter covers wouldn't work because of the pitch on our house. Matt REFUSED to give me the name and telephone number of the owner of the company so I could call them.

It's now pouring down rain and the gutter covers are letting the water pour down all around the house. They aren't working at all like the company claims.
