gutterfilter--thumbs down!!!!!

[John T 744]

If you like on my website at www.cleancounty.com you can see a video on the gutterfilter...I've spent about $5000 advertising this stuff until July of 06 and then I'm going to drop it faster then I can say the word drop.

Gutterfilter for me has been a total disapointment!! People here won't pay for $8 linear foot for this stuff and that includes installation..I don't get it for no bargain from my distributer either ($4.25 lin') and now I'm finding out that the company GUTTERFILTERtm will sell there product to others for around $4.50 and that includes shipping.

I can't wait to have my advertising for this product expire!!

Roger and I met with those guys down here. I was impressed with the product but not the price or much else. I have not done anything with them since our meeting back when. And also like you I dont even push the product anymore.

John,

Just a thought, but may not be worth the hassel! If the conscept is good then it's a possiblity....

Have you researched getting open cell foam from the manufacturer? there are literally hundreds of mom & pop extrusion companies all over.

I saw your website and I did some work with a company a few years ago testing and manufacturing open cell foam.

It should be a lot less expensive, even McMaster Carr has it in bulk.

A hot knife and a jig for production cutting and your good to go

Personally I think that product is garbage. I could see after a couple of years you will see gutters turn into planters. John, I cant believe they sell that stuff to you for $4.25 a ft.! It should be like .50 cents a ft. what a rip off!

I was impressed by the product and I let my local Distributer talk me into selling it...Next thing I know after I already paid the Yellow Pages to advertise this product my local Distributer gets nailed for advertising without a license....what a headache and what an expensive lesson learned.

Hey John....Look on the bright side. After initial installation and they have been there a couple of years they will be full of organic material. You could resale them at HD or local plant shop/florist for planters $$$.

OK OK Well, not really that funny. but hate you go stung. Sometimes we don't know until we try. If we never venture to try, we would still be in the dark

John, thanks for being candid about your experience. Most guys wouldn't have the guts to admit a costly mistake, but you may have saved many from future heart ache.

I am in agreement with Ken...it takes more to admit ones mistakes.

I sold leaffilter and it worked great but The Distributor was a bit of a problem. I sold leaffilter for 12-18 a linear foot. Leaffilter was expensive to buy from the manufacture also. Now I started selling invisiguard, it's much more affordable and I sell install prices about 8-10 a linear. foot. I also hold the rights to the south east of Virginia. Works well but harder to install than leaffilter. Call me if your interested I can explain more about the products out there and why I install invisiguard. I'm a gutter protection nerd.
