      I accidently put in a request on a Facebook ad with my work phone number. When it asked me to schedule a call, I exited out of the ad. So I never once scheduled a call. They began calling said work phone number every day. ************. I called them on 6/10 and told them to stop calling me I wasn't interested. They continued to call me on 6/11, I called them again and told them to stop calling me. It is now 6/12 and I received another call from them. What do I need to do, to stop the harassment? I will never do business with this company now.

      We purchased new Leaf Filter Gutter Protection 10/15/21 for $3897 with a "Lifetime Transferable Warranty" per the paperwork from the salesperson. Today my husband noticed several of the screens on both the house and garage are separating from the metal frame. He called the 800 number and was asked a lot of questions including is it over a window or door; is it in the left, right or center part of the home; do you have severe storms such as high wind warnings or snow or tornadoes where you live? When he answered yes we get high winds and snow the representative said it would not be covered because it was considered an "uncontrollable weather event". If that was the case no-one would be able to put in a claim because any or multiple of these events could happen in one geographic location. How do we know this is not a defect with the product? The representative did tell my husband they could send someone out for $95 to look at the gutters and then give an estimate for the cost of any repairs needed. He did not believe we should be paying for. This is tricking the customer into paying for something which should be included in the lifetime warranty. This product is only 3 1/2 years old which certainly is not a lifetime. I believe these sections should be replaced at the company's cost.

       I am rejecting this response because:  With a product that has a Lifetime Warranty I do not believe the product should be failing in 3 1/2 years. If we do pay the fee and someone comes out, will the screens be replaced under warranty or will there be additional charges for the screens popping away from the frames?

      On 4/11/2025, at a cost of $15,805, the company "Leaf Filter" installed a total "water management system" which was supposed to drain rainwater away from our house, thereby protecting the foundation. Job is not complete as follows: 1. Downspouts direct water right next to the foundation except the south lawn spout, which was placed right above a sprinkler head, interfering with it's proper operation. 2. Downspouts dumping next to foundation should have extensions or elbows added to carry water away from the house foundation. 3. Downspout north of garage door is at a high point, as it doesn't carry water at all. The gutter serving this point should be re-installed so the slope will dump onto the concrete driveway, away from the front chainlink gate and away from the house. 4. The (Fox TV) ad for this system shows a correctly done system which drains water properly. 5. The local business "LeafFilter Gutter Protection" has not tried to correct the problems. When we called the salesman he said that since we "signed off" on the contract, there's nothing they can do. As if we could see the system operating with no rain falling?

      August 2023 was installation. ********** paid to the Leaf Filter company paid on August 21, 2023 Completely clean out existing gutters and downspouts Seal your gutters and downspouts with 50 year silicone Repair any damaged gutters and/or downspouts Re-align the gutters, if necessary Install hidden brackets in the gutter for reinforcement Install the LeafFilter gutter protection system on the home Give a lifetime transferable warranty Give a manufacturer's money back, no clog, guarantee Price includes insurance during installation and all clean up I have called the company several times with no reply. I have left messages sharing the problems I have noticed since spring and summer of 2024. My eaves do leak!! I do not believe that the number of reinforcement brackets are not sufficient (there is supposed to be 5 hangers (brackets) per 5 feet. After checking, as much as I was able, I highly doubt that there is not as many brackets/hangers as I was told!! I was told that I would receive the warranty/guarantee via mail/email, following installation. I have never received this yet as of today. My phone calls to the company have fell on "deaf ears". They do have offer ... "please leave a message and we will get back to you"!! I have had no return phone calls from anyone! As I mentioned earlier, I called (multipule times) in the summer of 2024, and again this spring, 2025!! I am NOT a HAPPY CUSTOMER

      First of all, thank you very much to the BBB for helping me to get a reply from the LeafFilter company. I should have reached out to you MUCH SOONER!!!

      Leaf Filter (*****) reached out to me yesterday morning, June 5. We spoke about the struggles I was having with them (very dissappointment about getting NO response from the company for such a LONG period of time). Friends recomended that I file a complaint with you, and then the magic happened, this is very appreciated!

      ***** sent three people to my home yesterday afternoon, and supposedly they have addressed the problems and made the appropriate repairs. I will not know if the work they did yesterday is done properly until we get the weather (rain, wind etc) to be sure that I have no more issues with leaking eaves, etc. ***** called me this morning to confirm that Leaf Filter did come and repair all of the issues I had, I hope!!! I was told that their were some (many) things that were not completely properly during the initial installation of their product.

      I thanked *****, and he said if I had anymore concerns/questions, to "please give me (*****) a call" . He reassured me that if anything came up in this regard that I am supposed to call him directly.

      Thank you for all of your help and service !!!!!!

      Customer 's request has been found unwarranted.  Customer called and requested service/inspection and agreed to service fee. 

      Customer Answer

       I am rejecting this response because: I was never provided the estimate to replace the damaged Leaf Filter as promised. I was told I will receive an estimate of material and labor cost to install  new Leaf filters to replace hail damaged ones in 7 to 10 days. I have not received an estimate by email or US mail.  I simply want the estimate as promised. I need it to settle my home owners insurance claim. I  didn't have to pay $95 for someone to tell me the obvious that hail smashed the Leaf Filters. The purpose was to confirm the the damage, measure so I can purchase new Leaf Filters.

      Gutters installed Feb 2024. They have leaked off the cap end ever since. I've had two repairs by the company that NEVER fixed the problem. I called today after recent storms to report the problem continues. The company will not come to do further repairs to their defective product/installation unless I pre-pay a $95 service fee. I refuse to do so. At this point, I just want my money back so I can get properly working gutters installed - and have someone check for damage from the LeafFilter defective/improperly installed product. Final contract price was, I believe, $2875.

      I purchased LeafFilter gutter guards in 2023. During the sales visit, I was told multiple times I’d “never have to get on a ladder again,” and that debris would wash off the system naturally. Less than a year later, water was overflowing and not entering my gutters properly. I called service, and the technician blamed splash guards and said I needed to clean the system myself, contradicting the sales promise. He cleaned them once for free but said future visits would cost $95. The issue returned after the next rainfall. I tried cleaning it myself, then called again. A second tech cleaned them and removed splash guards. Due to a dry summer, the system seemed fine, but the one-year workmanship warranty expired. In May 2025, the problem returned. A third technician came out and found that both the front and back of the system were improperly installed from the start. He had to remove and reinstall the entire front section and adjust the back gutters. Despite this being a correction of poor original installation — something I had reported twice within the warranty period — I was charged a $95 service fee. I contacted corporate, and they said I should’ve called before the warranty expired. I explained that I had — twice. The techs just didn’t diagnose the real issue. Their own technician confirmed the system was installed incorrectly. I couldn’t have known that myself. I believe LeafFilter uses misleading sales tactics and fails to honor their warranty when issues arise. I am simply requesting a refund of the $95 service charge for work that should’ve been done under warranty.

      Customer's splash guards were due to how their roofing system creates valleys and not part of the guttering system, therefore the debris from the roof collects behind them, which is customer maintenance.   Service fees are applicable after the 1st year per contract.  Customer's request for refund is unwarranted

      Service from LeafFilter was fine. Product works I guess how it should? We assumed from what the sales person said, we would never have to pay for gutter cleaning again. If the gutter clogs, then leaf filter will clean the gutters for free. We were told leaves and debris would slide off the filters, well that is not true, the debris just sit on top of the filter and keep water from getting into the gutter. Not real pleased with the product. We should have read more about the details of what's covered or not. We were under the impression from the sales person that we would never have to clean gutters again. Well I guess that's true, but now we have the leaf filter system thay needs cleaned every year and they charge a minimumof $95 to clean the debris off, sooooo not really sure what we gained other than a waste in money.
