Hi Job – My guess is that it is not likely after four years you will be able to get the builder to address this. Most warranties do not cover things such as this although I would certainly consult with an attorney who may be able to put some pressure on the builder to fix it.

The leak has done dammages which will cost me nearly $3000. Will I be able get the home builder to foot the bill.

Hi Guys,
Excellent post and very helpful. I think you are all correct in one way or another,When it comes to home warranty companies the only way to be safe is to stick with one of the major names .Ordinarily BBB Rating is a tell tale sign that the company stands behind its name..I found a Company that gives up full reports on 2 of their competitors of your choice.Then they will meet or beat the competitors pricing. http://www.CentralMassHomeWarranty.com
I have had excellent track record for 6 straight years with my home warranty company.Right here in massachusetts..

Have a great night
Robert

Rob I agree there are times when having a home warranty is a great benefit and other times it may not be worth the expense.

If you buy a home 10years or older and intend to use the appliances; AC, Heater, Water Heater, Refrigerator, Stove, etc., it would definitely be wise to look into a home warranty. Denver has a local company called Blue Ribbon that has excellent ratings across the board. Old Republic Home Warranty is available throughout the country, but with mixed reviews. Best of luck.

I agree, home warranty will save you time and money, as long as you go with a good company. It is a must when you sell your home.

Hi Katherine – The warranty company that I have always used is American Home Shield. They are excellent to work with. The # for them is 1-800-735-4663. The price is determined by how much insurance you purchase. There are a number of different pricing levels. Best of luck!

Jen – I am glad I was able to provide you a decent explanation about home warranties. These insurance policies are a great piece of mind especially for homes that may have components that are approaching the end of their useful life.

Bill – Thanks for the explanation on home warranties. I have often wondered exactly how these plans work and what the benefits were to either a buyer or seller.

Bill, your article came at the perfect time for me, as I’m discussing the idea of offering a Home Warranty with one of my sellers. What are the steps the seller needs to take? Simply call to request a Home Warranty, and they will send a technician to evaluate the systems? How is the price determined? I’d love more info if you’ve got it – which I am sure you do! Thanks again for the helpful post!
