We installed Leaf Guard gutters through a authorized local dealer a couple of years ago. The gutter system started to clog after one season. We do have heavy pine needles. We have attempted to clean the gutters ourselves, however they are majorly clogged. Leaf Guard has been out three times. The first two were band aid approaches to the problem including some caulk and a few rail diverters on the roof. Not fixed. The issue immediately turned to the installed heat tape in the system. These are wires that pug-in to an outlet and send low energy heat to keep the ice from forming and reduces significantly, ice cycle formation. On the last visit from Leaf Guard we were told they cannot do anything until we rewove the heat tape system. We spent a bunch of money on that installation from a Leaf Guard installer, both the system itself and an independent electrician on GFI outlets to plug the gutters in. Turns out their preferred contractors contract at the time, has since been terminated. No kind words there from Leaf Guard. We feel like we are between a rock and a hard space. It is not our fault the two companies had a falling out, however we believe the original warranty should be transferred to us!!Business Response

I had gutter damage due to a tree that fell down. I called Leaf Guard and they said they could come out right away to replace it. Over two months later and texts and phone calls I still dont have the gutter replaced. Too late! You cant trust the Milwaukee area business.Business Response
Date: 11/14/2023
The customer was given a price to replace their damaged gutter, which they refused. Storm damage, damage from a tree falling, is not covered by the warranty of the gutter system.Initial Complaint

I signed a contract with LeafGuard on 10/14/2023 and provided a 1/3 deposit of $4,330 in the form of a check. The contract states that you have 3 days to cancel the contract and will receive the full deposit back within 10 working days. I called and cancelled the contract on 10/16/2023. I have not yet received the deposit back and now no one will return my call. The date of 10/27/2023 is the end of 10 working days. I no longer ********** Guard to keep their word.Business Response

Bids in my townhouse community were made on a few homes to get a group pricing. Job was started on other homes first. They did work into the dark to get the job off their plate and workmanship became an issue. Meanwhile I put off my job to see how they dealt with these issues. It is now moving into winter, and I just terminated the job and demanded my deposit refund. Refund is pending. They promised a call within 24 hours. This is day 5 without a call and they are 24/7. My address was in their system wrong, so if they are sending a check, it may go to a wrong location. Told this to call center. I have called in a few times to "escalate" the call back. I want to confirm the address issue, the CC or check refund and if it is fully processed. I am so disappointed my gutters are not done and now I am into winter weather. What a mess.Business Response

customers gutters are heavily damaged by hail. he was getting a new roof. I informed the customer due to the damage of the system we can't do anything but replace the system at the cost of his insurance or out of pocket we offered to fix the issues at the residence but homeowner declined service stated he should get ahold of his insurance to prove he had LeafGuard system as they only quoted him $1400 for his gutter system instead of what he paid for his system originally.Completion Notes: talked with customer gave them an update on the situation due to the damage of the system because of hail and with the help of my lead installer we were able to communicate properly what needed to be done customer was not happy but satisfied with the. outcome and understands what he needed to do moving forward.
We are willing to assist the customer through the insurance process but our warranties do not cover acts of God.

8/5/2023, The rep met with us in our home. He took FIVE hours in our home to persuade us to sign immediately. They were to start on 8/28/23 then changed it to 8/31/23. Five men came & started tear down. Crew Chief told me, "I don't know if I can get the flashing under those shingles..." (That's not good.) I offered a stiff putty knife to him. The tear down damaged the soffits because they left the old screws in as they tugged the old gutters down. They had some difficulty with the flashing - now the front of the gutters are bent in and out. At least three corners leak profusely. Many of the new screws are raised and/or angled sticking out a quarter inch. Some of the down spouts were cut jagged so that when you pull them off to mow the grass, you risk a cut to your hands. Screws are missing on several downspouts. There were screws and aluminum scraps all over our lawn. Their magnet lost a wheel, so they couldn't get all the screws. Our attempts to have someone come out to check on their work was very frustrating as they wouldn't phone us back or told us to phone directly ourselves. They still never called back. Finally, we did get a man to check their work. He was very accommodating. He made note of all the problems and promised a quick return on the following Tuesday. Two weeks later, but we've heard nothing at all. Calls are not returned. They say it's guaranteed but we can't even get them to finish the job. They were here in August and it's almost November now. Can you help us?Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: We don't want you to close this account until we see the complete replacement done. They have offered to start this coming Monday. Hopefully, the two days of snowy weather we have just had will change to dry and sunny so the work won't need to be delayed.

The local General Manager is in contact with the customer. The customer has asked to delay us completing our work until they have another company come out to address another concern.
We are in contact with the customer and will resolve once the customer contacts us. They are welcome to open a new complaint if we do not respond once they are ready.
