Byers Enterprises will take your money and disappear when things go wrong. We analyzed over a hundred reviews and found a company that excels at selling gutters but struggles to honor its commitments when problems arise. In one case, a homeowner paid $9,000 for gutters that fell off the house, then fell off again after repair. When they tried to get warranty service, the company's number-two executive attempted to void the warranty entirely. Another customer spent weeks chasing a refund of their $1,000 deposit after financing fell through, only to be told the deposit was non-refundable even though that term was never disclosed during the sales pitch. We found 27 reviews describing this pattern: missed callbacks, unresolved leaks, installations that dragged on for months, and warranty claims that went nowhere. Even the company owner called one customer to say "shame on us," then failed to fix the problem. The workmanship scores well when crews actually show up (89 mentions of solid installation quality), but 40 reviewers flagged poor value and 25 complained about post-sale support that evaporates the moment you need it. If you're considering Byers, know that their lifetime warranty may be worthless the first time you try to use it.
If you want gutters installed and never need to contact the company again, Byers can do the work. But if you expect a company to stand behind a lifetime warranty or return your calls when something goes wrong, look elsewhere.
Funkebeth G. entertained a sales visit for over an hour when she and her husband shopped for a gutter leaf-guard system — a roughly $18,000 project for their home. They ended up signing a contract after the salesman, Dave, pressed hard for a commitment and asked for a $1,000 deposit, which they paid by credit card assuming it would be refundable if they changed their mind. After filing taxes they discovered they couldn’t come up with the full cash price and applied for the financing offered through Byers; the application was denied because of existing debt, so her husband called to cancel the job. Accounting directed them back to Dave, who tried to arrange alternate financing, but when they stood firm the company refused to return the deposit, calling it “non-refundable” and citing unspecified “costs.” Her husband asked what those costs were; the only thing staff could point to was a lead test on the gutters — a test they offered to pay for separately, which still wouldn’t justify a $1,000 charge. They made at least three calls to cancel and get the money back, including a March 5, 2024 call before 10 a.m. that ended with a promise to follow up and no return call. Frustrated, they,
Diane W. remembers Byers installing gutters on her first house about ten years ago and standing by the product — the gutters held up and the service was solid. When she ordered a new gutter system for her second home two years ago, the story flipped: service and communication broke down, a section actually fell off once, and now that she’s selling the house a building inspector discovered the gutters pulling away again. She learned the crew had used nails instead of screws, and because she lives three hours away she’s been reduced to emailing photos back and forth. After spending about $9,000 she expected far better follow-through; she now believes Byers’ move into solar and roofing has come at the expense of their original gutter workmanship. The image that stuck with her: an expensive gutter system fastened with nails and coming loose while she’s miles away.
Mike B. bought a LeafGuard gutter system through Byers’ Costco link and ended up deeply frustrated. After several phone calls that went nowhere, he wrote Mr. Byers a personal letter; Mr. Byers called him directly and even admitted "shame on us," but the underlying problems never got fixed. He encountered rude installers on site, then a warranty process that felt like a complete runaround — and says the company’s second-in-command even tried to void the warranty. Having worked with many contractors on his house, he concluded Byers’ was the worst. On the product itself he highlights one concrete design problem: the intake gap where water enters the gutter is narrow, which creates the exact cozy space bees and wasps use to build nests. He warns homeowners not to use repellents because Byers’ can — and, in his experience, did — use that as grounds to void a warranty on a leak in his pool solar system. He also found a wasp nest in the Byers’ gutter just above his front door. He left a one-star review after these unresolved issues; the standout takeaway for prospective buyers is this mix of a design flaw that attracts stinging insects and a warranty fight that he says the company was

Richard F struggled for nearly 20 years keeping his gutters clear before he chose Byers' LeafGuard roughly two decades ago. Over the ensuing 20 years he only needed to make one call on the company's 20-year guarantee; they scheduled a service quickly about 10 days ago. A cheerful, two-person crew arrived and cleaned every gutter while a moderately heavy rain fell. That they showed up in wet weather and honored the long-term guarantee is the detail that earned his five-star rating — it’s what he remembers most about the experience.
Janet K had LeafGuard gutters on her house for more than 20 years, and only after a brutal, windy winter did pine needles finally jam them up. She reached out to the company; two technicians drove four hours to her home and cleared the debris, working in a professional, courteous way. Janet still considers the gutters worth the price, but what lingered was the crew’s willingness to travel and tackle a problem on decades-old equipment — a detail that helped her judge the whole experience.
Michael M. hired Byers a few years ago for roughly a $14,000 job that involved work around his carport and adjoining shop. The installation stretched out to nearly two months and he had to make numerous phone calls—many of which went unanswered—just to get the project finished. After the crew left he discovered the seam where the carport meets the shop leaked so badly it caused water damage along an entire side of the shop. More recently an entire section of gutters separated from the house and started new water damage, and despite calling five times to get repairs scheduled he never received a return call. He ended up with ongoing water intrusion and repeated unreturned service requests on a job that cost almost $14,000.
After letting his gutters go unchecked for several years, Todd S decided it was time to schedule an inspection and cleaning for his house. He received a text the day before confirming the appointment, and two crew members showed up on time and got straight to work. They delivered a thorough cleanup and tidy inspection, and he was impressed by how organized and professional the team was. What stood out most was the day-before confirmation and the punctual, efficient service — the details that turned a routine maintenance job into a smooth experience.
Bob C discovered a leak at a corner seam in gutters Byers had installed more than ten years earlier. He called Byers and the company dispatched two technicians who arrived during a downpour and spent about an hour working in the rain to repair the seam. The leak was fixed under the lifetime warranty, and he appreciated how professional, polite, and pleasant the crew were to have at the house. The detail that sticks: the team stayed and completed the repair in pouring rain, honoring the warranty instead of postponing the work.

Laura M. has relied on Byers gutters since 2012 and discovered their care extends well beyond installation. The most memorable part of her experience has been Andy’s annual pre-fall visit to make sure the gutters stay clear — he arrives on time and works with real attention to detail. Over more than a decade she watched the company follow through on its promise of high quality and long-term care. The takeaway that stuck with her: a named technician showing up punctually each year to inspect and clear the system before the rainy season.
A few years after having gutters installed on his ranch-style home, Jake discovered during a heavy downpour that two of the four gutter runs had clogged. Concerned, he drove to Byers’ Grass Valley headquarters to get help. Byers dispatched a crew — Jorge and Rosie — who showed up in the pouring rain, unclogged the two problem runs and then went ahead and cleaned all four gutters. He found them professional, hardworking, kind and honest throughout the visit. Byers honored the service agreement without hesitation and handled the call immediately. What sticks with him is the crew turning up in horrible weather and fixing the issue on the spot — a clear sign the company stands behind its work and responds when it matters most.
S had gutters installed two years ago on their home and discovered that, while the finish looks great, the design creates hiding spots that attract wasps. They ended up constantly spraying wasp spray because nests form where the installer’s profile can’t be reached, so each treatment only kills a few insects at a time. When they called the company, the team admitted awareness of the issue but refused to intervene, explaining they didn’t want employees getting stung. The system cost roughly triple what ordinary gutters go for, and instead of solving a problem the homeowner now deals with persistent wasp activity. The detail that stands out: the installer acknowledged the defect but declined to fix it because of sting risk — a buyer-facing warning about this particular gutter profile.
