Unprofessional behavior, aggresive, misleading sales tactics.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Salesman was extremely pushy, arrogant, interrupting, COMPLETELY UNPROFESSIONAL. Played lots of games especially with pricing, which went from $24,000 to $8,000 (never do business with a company that sells its products this way, ever).

Rep eventually grew even more aggressive when I told him I would need to think about the decision overnight.

I asked him to leave several times and he ignored me and began arguing. I finally had to literally put my hand on his shoulder and push him to stand up and move toward the door.

My next call was going to be the police.

DO NOT LET LEAF GUARD REPS INTO YOUR HOME! DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS FIRM.

Never received promotional Visa card

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

On Sept 2 I sent an email to your social media address regarding a promotional $100 visa card I never received for having an in-home consultation for New gutters. No purchase was required.

I received a reply from Parker Addison, general manager, on Sept 3rd which included the form I need to fill out to receive the $100 gift card. I returned this form to him, filled out ,on Sept 5. I have not heard back from him.

I emailed him again on Sept 26, yet still no response. If someone could just please tell me when I will receive the $100 visa card.

Worst company ever

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I scheduled a visit for Leaf Guard to come to my house on Friday, 8/2, at 3 pm EST, as I was interested in using their services. The minute the person from Leaf Guard (Skip) walked into my house, he started with all negative remarks about my house - about the gutter and how bad the gutter looked.

He went out of his way to demonize the house and gutter system, even though everything is new. The tactics he used were very unprofessional. I explained to him that there was no need for him to be negative, and there was no need for his lecture. I asked him to give me his final number so we could proceed.

However, he refused and said that he needed to continue his presentation. His manner was disgusting - very pushy and negative all the time about my residence. I remember these tactics from the 80s/90s when you went to a car dealership, and they kept pressuring you to buy a car. Well, Skip's manners were even worse.

It was a terrible experience, and I was so glad to see him leave.

A. Nabulsi.

Took advantage of a retiree and many others in my community.

Original review updated Jul 11, 2024

They lied to me!

They told me it was guaranteed for life.

The first year I had to call them because it was clogged.

The next year it happened again .. they told me the warranty was only a year .

If they need to come out they charge $95 .

Its ALL A LIE and they need to be stopped.

They are preying on senior citizens, as is obvious by their commercial.

I am out $10,000 because I trusted them.

Be Aware

They charge $95 to come out and check their product yet, It only cost about $95 to have someone actually clean your gutters.

Please protect yourself!!

User's recommendation: Protect yourself, please just pay someone the hundred dollars to clean your gutters. That’s literally how much it cost and when these people decide to come because you call them because they are clogged they charge you $100 even though they say it’s under warranty please can’t see the whole thing think.

Poor performance

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
LeafGuard - Poor performance

Clogged within the first 12 months after installation. After being told, 'Never get on a ladder again!' - last year they told me to clean them myself, they were NOT coming out again.

Massive damage to the deck and front porch steps resulted from the gutters being nonfunctional. Greatest waste of money ever.

Worthless. I am going to pay to have them REMOVED.

LeafGuard refuses to answer calls or return a deposit.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

They train their sales team the most manipulative, scare, and psychological tactics in order to make a sale or close it. The only way to get a quote is to sit through a presentation.

They're always several thousand dollars; you won't pay less than maybe $6-7k and that's after getting "promotions" and "discounts".

If a potential customer is done after the presentation and doesn't want to buy, you have to call the manager in front of them with a fake claim "oh I'm sorry Mr.

Compton, I didn't know you were in a meeting, I'm here with so and so, could we have a moment of your time?" Even if he's at home eating dinner.

I was stupid enough to give them a deposit before getting other (cheaper and better) estimates.

I cancelled my service within the time period to get my deposit refunded. The manager (TJ Compton) at first said the check was issued, then he "had it reissued." Eventually sent fake images of a cashed check with a forged signature and now refuses to take calls.

Terrible Customer Service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

While the gutters may be good, the customer service received in Oklahoma is terrible. I was lied to about the number of downspouts I needed.

I was lied to when I was told the fascia boards would be totally wrapped and we would not have to paint anything. I had to have the installers out at least three times after the installation.

Nails were left in my pool, a light was floating in my pool, and they did not clean up after the installation. I am filing a complaint with the Attorney General's Office and trying to figure out how to file for my money-back guarantee from Better Homes and Gardens.

Leafguard ruined our roof and their gutters are installed incorrectly

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Leafguard ruined our roof and their gutters are installed incorrectly

Ive tried multiple times to rectify their botched install and the local manager refuses to let me speak with corporate. They tried to send me paperwork to sign to settle the damage they caused during install, but paperwork prevents me from having them fix the other faulty work.

All of our flashing from a brand new roof is wavy and bent. They cut our roof jagged and our brand new roof warranty is voided.

So many things to list, and they refuse to speak with me. Its been six months and they are avoiding me.

Leaf guard were not install at an angle to rid any material off of them when it rains. So leaves and needles just pile up on them!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Guards are not angled down away from the house to eject leaves and debris. Instead everything collects on top of them and they get clogged up quickly

Service sucks

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Had leafguard install gutters, they finished and left, I inspected the job, found bare, exposed wood where they installed new fascia, called to have fixed, never got a phone call back, text the main contact, stated he'd have a tech come look at it, never showed, so I do the techs job and send pics, get a response we'll come fix it. Schedule appt., day of appt oh we're not coming, all our techs called in sick, reschedule again, told was the first job of the day, 930 comes I text them, they don't answer the phone, texting is best, oh they'll be there later they're on another job... ok then come remove your product, bottom line, they don't care about the customer

Horrible experience

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I signed up to have an inspection done on our house with my son and I was at a gun show so they give me a free gift card if I let them do the estimation, so why not you know. After two hours of my wife and I spending with this gentleman who inspected our house, he finished our inspection and came in and talked to us and convinced us to go ahead and do this project so we got approved for the loan and everything got all the paperwork done and then when it came the day of installation we had a phone call that said we cannot do this I said why they said because youre missing wood under your roof and a couple other things Im not sure what theyre talking about but anyway as why did you do your inspection already?

Did you can you find this on your first inspection? They said that they cant help it what they found they cannot do it, so I said fine you wasted all this time you got us approved and everything ran our credit and hurt our credit by running our report and now youre telling me that you cant do this, so do I at least get my $50 gift card And they change the subject to start talk about something else Ive called them three other times since then keep getting calls back explaining to me that they cant help it that they cant do the job that if I want to get the roof fixed first and then call them. Theyre more than happy to come and do the job. I told them that they did the inspection.

They said they would do it that was part of the inspection.

All the construction of wood was included in the contract, but they failed to follow through on their contract to top it all off. They cant even give me my $50 gift card to make it right I mean Im not quite sure that would be right but at least it would be better than just completely screwing us over I dont recommend these people To anybody to expensive and no Customer Service horrible thats all I can say about this company
