On August 10 we had a Leaf Guard salesperson sell us new gutters. We warned him to be very careful of our Pella sunroom. If damaged it could be a major problem. He sent pictures to his production manager and was told the sunroom would not be a problem.
On Friday August 11 at 8am the first Leaf Guard installer arrived. We gave him the same warning about the sunroom. At about 10am two more installers arrived. We gave them the same sunroom warning. Rain was to start around 10am. At about that time two more installers arrived. We gave them the same warning. At about 11 am we heard a knock on the door. The installer said we have a problem. One of the installers dropped his hammer and shattered a sunroom roof panel. MAJOR problem!
It took four weeks to find out Pella no longer supports the sunrooms. They referred us to ***** *******. ***** will not repair Pella products. We contacted five other skylight companies. They will not repair the Pella sunroom. Then we went to ***** ********* and talked to them. ***** sent out their estimator and quoted to replace the sunroom roof with a conventional roof with three ***** skylights. The cost will be $27,452.00.
On September 11 I sent the ***** quote to the Leaf Guard Chicago general manager, John. In 45 minutes, he called and stated Leaf Guard will pay for the repair.
Three weeks went by so I sent a request for status. Nothing was done to get the payment processed. It is now eight weeks, and we have no idea when Leaf Guard will pay us so that we can get our sunroom repaired.Business Response

The local General manager has been in contact with the customer in regards to the repair/replacement. The company has done our own due diligence, and research, and have concluded that the glassroom/sunroom cannot be repaired due to the parts no longer being made. We are preparing a settlement agreement for the customer to review in order to reimburse them for the cost of the glassroom/sunroom to be replaced, per the estimate the customer provided. This will be resolved within a week.Business Response

Leafguard sends direct mail solicitations to our residence. I have attempted to contact both corporate & local offices via phone calls as well as email contact info listed on the Leafguard company website, in order to stop the direct mailers. No one has responded from the company, & today 9/22/23 we received another direct mailer from them.
I cannot be persuaded somehow they have a system or marketing company that is unable to permanently "flag" our address or not allow the address to go to print, the privacy software exists for these purposes.Business Response

Hello,
Leafguard installed all gutters except one due to rotting rafter tails. We sent our subcontractor out to fix the rafter tails free of charge to customer. When the subcontractor arrived there were multiple wasp and bees nests that prevented subcontractor from completing work. We told customer he needed to eliminate wasp and bee problem before we could continue. The subcontractor and Leafguard crew are scheduled to go out together and finish project on Tuesday 9/26.
Thank you.

6/14/22 - present I paid $14,500 for a complete gutter system. It's over 1 year of attempting to work with ** to get the install complete & fully working. They have very high staff turnover in management. I spent 8+ months trying to reach the person I was instructed to contact. He never called me back. The next GM I was given to contact tried to charge me for finishing the incomplete install. He sent a guy to add a downspout but not address all the issues (5+ feet of overflow - due to not enough downspouts etc.). Then I was informed that 2nd GM left & the guy standing in until the new 3rd GM started initially responded & then tried charging me for the work to finish the job. He too went silent & didn't return any calls etc. Also, when they did make an appointment with me (I lost 2 days of work because although they set appointments for a *************** they don't show up). Instead, a rep shows up unannounced another day without all the materials needed to do the work. The reps are compensated by "sales" & not service calls so they prioritize sales calls. It should be noted that the non-functioning gutters caused multiple overflows in my front & the water overflowed & went into my basement causing multiple floods. I also paid a 3rd party engineer to look at the ***************** the issue(s). He told me the issues were: they didn't put enough downspouts in, they didn't appropriately address corners in the gutter system (even though in the contract they were supposed to), they didn't attach a couple of downspout gutters properly etc. Current status: There remains several issues with the gutter system not fully functioning & the company has not returned any of my calls & texts (this includes multiple attempts to reach someone in their corporate office which never returned 1 call). The last rep said he'd be back to finish the job the next day including bringing touch up paint for the gutter he scraped. The next day he told me he wasn't coming.Business Response

Hello,
I have reached out to the customer to arrange a time when we can come out and address the remaining concerns. Once I hear back, I will set a firm date to begin the process of getting the situation resolved.
I would like a little more information than the BBB correspondence has. Thank you

We bought leaf guards and had them installed on 5/18/2023. They told us that things were dryrotted and it needed to be replaced but they didn**;t replace it. They put the new gutters over the existing facing boards; they don**;t fit. They told us that it would be an all day job and it only took them about 3 hours. The gutters look crooked, you can see light around the downspouts. They charged us $`10,785.00. I put down $3000 and the check didn**;t clear--due to the bank. They didn**;t do what they said they were going to do in the contract. I had the balance financed. I**;m not paying it because they didn**;t do what they said they were going to do.Business Response

Called and after a brief discussion, we confirmed that **** was the color they selected and **** was the color that was installed. Customer then asked about the gutters pitch, she stated that it looked crooked. After review of the post installation photos, PM explained pitch and why the gutter did not run along the roof edge but instead had pitched that was applied using a level to ensure that the system flows correctly. Offered to come out to adjust the pitch of the system, but if this would cause the gutter to not be pitch correctly, the system would not function properly and could cause damage to home. Customer did not want to do this. The system is working and if there is an issue we would certainly back our warranties. The customer has not paid for the project as the initial deposit check was returned. We have held up our end of the contract and this complaint should be dismissed.Initial Complaint

PM performed job site inspection 09.19.2023 - customer was notified but was not home at time of arrival. PM stated gutters are clogged, needs service. Also stated it looks like white inside corners were installed and possibly spray painted at time of install to Coal Gray.
Peeling badly. Two "L" shaped runs need to be replaced as they are LG1 and have no more inside corners. Customer appreciated us coming out sooner than scheduled service date. Crew still scheduled for ***** unclog. Will schedule service to replace corners in October.Initial Complaint

Hello,
We went to the property and added a drop-in. Customer said things seem to be working fine but wanted to wait for a big rain to see how the system works. We have not heard back since that time. I assume all is well with his system.

I don't have all the info you listed at hand. Leafguard installed the new gutter system in the first quarter of this year and they damaged a sliding door screen. A two inch cut. I contacted them within the first week of this damage. They finally told me to have it fixed and send then the repair invoice. It's been months with out any action. I have called them twice with no action. I don't know what else to do.Business Response
