Not all promises delivered
August 20, 2021

Hate to say this to all you unsatisfied customers, but common sense would tell you this product cannot do what it proposes. Heavy rains MAY wash some of the leaf debris across the guard, but eventually lighter rains will not. And when some leaves or debris build up (which they eventually will) , the entire filter will be rendered useless.

All it will accomplish is, instead of mucking out your gutters you will have to clean debris and leaves off of the gutter. No Brainer, this is a scam like so many others. Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Question how it is said to work, then ask why are there leaves in my gutter, and what is to preventing them to plug up my screen.

False claims and poor follow up

Originally offered at $5287 on 8/24/2018 in Ohio. Many promises made, especially if I would buy right now. Tried to delay, but just kept getting lower offers. Last one was a "call" to an installer who just happened to be in the area if I could do it tomorrow. Finally said Yes at $2740. Installer who came late next day had not been in the area, did not know what I was talking about, did not clean gutters before installation.

Next spring (2019), leaves were clogged on top of filter. I got up on ladder and cleaned filters. Next spring, 2020, water running over gutters again, so called, got no answer, found that the area dealer was no longer with them.

Called again, got answering machine promise to call back tomorrow. Next week called again, same promise, no call back, next week pretended to want to buy and got a live person. Would have a service tech call. Took a week. Someone came out, cleaned the tops of some filters (I already had once that spring) acknowledged filters were not installed right, but not their problem since they just started working with Leaf Filter.

Now (2021) I called again, on 2nd try, after a hang up on the first try, an operator in Las Vegas says she will contact closest local company and have them call me. We'll see! Screens were not attached at proper slope so leaves, etc. could be washed off.

Crud washes in under lip of roof, stays, hardens, and builds up until who screen is clogged (But gutter itself is not clogged, as they claim). In fact it is dry. I found out later you can buy the screens at Lowes, etc., and have them put on yourself at much less cost. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM LEAF FILTER.

We had leaf filter installed on two problem gutters. To be blunt they don't work. In moderate rain the water just poured over the edge. We called and asked to have them removed and our money back to no avail so far. We have been trying to get this remedied for over two months.

Ruined my gutters. And do not work with snow. Snow lays on screens, when runoff from the roof starts it goes right over the frozen gutters. Might be okay where it doesn't snow. And my gutters leak like crazy(they did not before( and I have water in my basement.

Now I have to ear everything off and start over. The whole job only used less than 500.00 worth of material(check Lowe's) Very pricey and ruined everything Also you will never get a nickel from these crooks with their LLCs a nd other legal maneuvers.

I had Leaf Filter put on my house at a cost of $10,000. I immediately noticed that water ran over the top of the gutters as if there was no gutter. I called the national service number and was always left on hold for long periods of time. They said you could leave your number to get a call back. I did this numerous times and never got a call. I tried to call the local office and that number would not allow a message to be left. I called the sales rep on his cell and said I would call consunmer protection. In a couple of weeks a workman showed up. He admitted they had a lot of this same problem and said he would get supplies and come back the next day. He never came. This is miserable sevice. I wish I had never bought this. Avoid these people!!

Highly Questionable

We own a 2100 sq ft colonial that is 40 years old.

Their representative did a very thorough job of inspecting our gutters which took about an hour. She pointed out 2-3 areas of concern.

She then sat down with us and made her presentation. It was obviously scripted. We finally were presented a 1 line quote of over $7,000.00.

some discounts were offered but the math was way off. we were then told we could do 12 months same as cash but there was a $500.00 fee to obtain that option.

Apparently she could not understand our concerns about the cost and financing so she literally ran out of the house. no name, no business card
