Initially i wanted to get an estimate for bath tub remodel. They continually call me multiple times per day even after verbally telling them to stop and also have written to them stating to stop calling so far I've had more than 20 calls after telling them to stop.
They need to stop calling me. Very unprofessional and will never hire this company.Business Response

In July 2022, we had a walk-in shower renovation done by Leaf Home Safety Systems. They installed a shower pan that has six deep grooves in the pan to channel water to the drain. In addition, after installing the pan, it was two (2) inches narrower than the shower pan they removed. Because of my age (68) and multiple surgeries I have had done to my legs, I have trouble standing in the shower without having to hang onto a bar or the door. The grooves make me unstable in the shower.
I called their customer service number in October and no one communicated with me until December. I was told someone would come by to look at the situation at three different times and no one showed up. I finally received a call from one of their local people two weeks ago so he could understand better what the issue was and he promised he would get back to me that Friday, two weeks ago. I have not gotten a call from him and I have called his phone several times and he won't answer my calls, nor will anyone else at his office.
I am now at the point of having to look at other options to try to get this fixed, including having it torn out and starting over with a new shower installed.Business Response

The system was installed per the agreed upon contract. Customer’s
grievances are due to the grooves in the bottom of the shower pan. The grooves
are necessary for proper water drainage out of the shower. Per customer
request, Leaf Home Safety Solutions representation has reached out to the
vendor to see if there is a solution for this, and we are currently waiting on
a response. Once we have heard back from the vendor, we will contact the
customer to discuss.Customer Answer

The manager did come out to inspect and take pictures. The business then sent 2 installers, who ripped out the previous work. They redid everything again and the consumer considers the matter resolved.

On 10/20/2022, Leaf Home Safety Solutions accidentally cashed a check for a deposit on a job that was cancelled. The check was written on July 20, 2022 as a deposit for a shower install, but the job was cancelled. As a direct result, I received 7 overdraft fees totalling $324 and am being charged interest on a line of credit. The overdrafts occurred:
*10/24-$108
*10/25 - $72
*10/26-$36
*10/27-$36
I called into the national call center 4 times about the situation and never received a call from the payments manager. I was refunded the $300 deposit on 11/4, however not for the overdraft fees. I have called 4 additional times and asked the call center to escalate the issue, but no one has contacted me to fully resolve the matterBusiness Response

Signed up for remodeling of 2 bathrooms with Leaf Home Safety.Date of Sale: 08/13/2022;Job Number: *********;Amount: $17,873 (Financed);Installation Dates: 08/29 and 08/30 and 08/31 for both bathrooms;Issue: Installed with wrong finish, wrong doors, shower water pressure gone down in both baths. Brought to their notice the same day;Leaf Safety accepted their mistake and agreed to adjust a small amount and said would fix with new fixtures and new doors for both bathrooms. I have been reaching out to them for the fix since then, they have scheduled the fix more than 4 times on different dates and no one shows up on the date of install. Nobody cares to inform either if they aren't coming on the scheduled date. I have tried to escalate the issue at different levels within Leaf Safety. Every time I escalate, someone calls me from the installation team and schedules a date for the fix and then don't show up. I have the entire timeline and text messages exchanged with their team, if you need more details.I have made the downpayment and financed thru ***** Fargo. Seems this isn't a priority for them as they already got the money.I have a day job and I have wasted lot of my time and energy and effort following up on this which should have taken a day or two, maximum to fix. I need the job done. PLEASE HELP.Business Response

****** (the installer) came on 12/01 and fixed only downstairs shower-head. He is yet to replace the drain cap in *******************. He said **** would come and fix the drain cap next day, no one came. This is still pending.
Upstairs shower-head has a blockage and this was the cause of low water pressure. As per ****** that shower-head needs replaced. This is still pending.

At the at this point I do not have running water in one of my showers. And just to get to the point they've made several attempts to repair the valve but because they could not find a solution they started to lie about the situation. I have another shower I have no need to pay another plumber I did ask them to actually bring a plumber because they kept sending a 20-year-old contractor that does not know what he was doing. So now they stipulated that I brought in a plumber in there for they don't want to repair it. Like I said why would I do that I have another shower and I live by myself this is for a second shower. ************************* is the sales manager and he's the one that I actually have a complaint with.Business Response

I bought a stair lift from this company. I purchased it from the because I was informed it had a lifetime warranty. It was installed in 2/2022. Two or three weeks, it stopped working. The battery went dead. They would not come and check it out for a couple of days. They sent someone out and they confirmed it was the battery. They told me it would costs $150 to replace. I asked about the lifetime warranty. He told me to buy a battery and they would install it. I can**;t get downstairs without the stair lift. He came back with the battery. They asked me if I paid the $150. I told them no. I looked at the paperwork and it says the battery is under warranty for the first year. They told me they didn**;t know this. The battery went out again. They told me it would be a few days later. I told them it was unacceptable. A tech came out and changed it again. I**;m afraid to use it.Business Response

We serviced the customers home 10/19/22 and found the lift had been unplugged therefore the battery was dead. The customer had other trades working in her home and they unplugged the stairlift for an undetermined amount of time, we plugged it back in but checked back with the customer to see if it would recharge. On ********, as the battery was still dead, we replaced the battery for free as the original would not recharge and the customers battery was still under warranty. Per our Limited Lifetime Warranty, there are outlined exceptions. Batteries are limited to one (1) year when recharged with an LHSS supplied/approved charger. We sent a copy of this warranty to the customer via email explaining this in detail. The customer has been advised to reach out to our service department with any service related issues.
We have reached out to the customer to go over the warranty but to date have not been able to reach her nor have we heard back from her. At this time the stairlift is working as it should.
