What is a Home Protection Program?

A home warranty is a service contract, usually for one year, which helps protect homeowners against the cost of unexpected covered repairs or replacements on their major systems and appliances that break down due to normal wear and tear.

Choosing A Provider

The base and optional programs vary from provider to provider.  We suggest that our clients carefully review the base programs along with each program upgrade and specific coverages and costs of plans and select the one that best suits your particular home and situation.  If you have additiional questions on particular plans we can put you in touch with representatives from the appropriate companies.
