My advice is to avoid these people!
Their bottom line estimate was $9,000 for my project and I got an equivalent system installed by a local contractor for $2,100. In addition I was subject to badgering by their salesman when I refused to sign a contract before he left.
On Friday, July 10 a representative of Leaf Filter visited my home to provide an estimate for replacing my gutters or just adding leaf guards. He didn't leave a business card and I don't remember his name, but he is the first person I've ever had to throw out of my home.
Our appointment was at 5:00 and he didn't arrive until 5:20, with no phone call to indicate he wouldn't be on time.
After inspecting my home he provided me the estimates for replacing my gutters. He then described the discounts that would significantly reduce the costs. His first estimate was over $13,000 and after several adjustments the price was reduced to $9,000
When I advised him that I was getting several estimates, his was the first and I would not be signing any commitment until I had gotten some other estimates his demeanor changed.
He became more insistent that there was no need for other estimates since his product was so clearly better than any other option. When I again told I would evaluate other options before making a decision he became belligerent.
He asked what was the "real reason" we wouldn't sign today implying there was some ulterior motive at play. He also accused us of being cheap and stupid for not buying his system. One example he used was going to a Mazerati dealership and buying a Corolla. He kept saying the same thing over and over again in a more indignant tone of voice until I told him I wouldn't buy the Leaf Filter system no matter what the price.
I also told him to get out of my house, which he did while continuing berate our cheapness and stupidity.
I'm 79 years old and perhaps he felt he could badger me into purchasing his system. He was wrong.
Insulting your customer does not seem like a good way to complete a sale or enhancing your reputation.
I can now understand why he was so insistent on my signing the contract while he was here. I got a local contractor to install an equivalent system for $2,110 compared to the $9,000 LeafFilter would charge. read more
