Recent Home Warranty Reviews in Boston
- Telham Front EndThey are excellent. I highly recommend them. We found him 4 or 5 years ago. He is just a great guy. He is very knowledgeable, there is nothing he can't repair. He is very independent, he has his own shop. It is always clean as can be there. When he says he is going to do something he does it. It is someone you can recommend to anybody and not worry about it. He does everything
- Andreo Painting CoI called Bill Andreo at the last hour, as another painter had fallen through. My goal was to paint the entire interior of a newly purchased house before we moved in. Bill completely transformed my house, from dark and dismal to clean and fresh. Highly detailed, an expert carpenter and painter, very experienced, trustworthy. The painting and repairs are perfect. He did so many repairs and so much carpentry work - I couldn't list them all. Anything he found, he fixed, with appropriate communication to me. The basement was problematic. I had asked for old dark panelling to be removed to find very poor dry wall construction underneath. We worked a second quote out for the additional work. Even though a surprise, he was ready to fully complete the job. I feel blessed to have found Bill. I highly recommend him. He will be back in the spring to paint my exterior, repair my deck, and replace my roof
- JOURNEAY INSURANCE INCWe have been with them since we bought the house in 1977. It is about $50 a month and it is paid through our home mortgage. I would recommend them. We have been very pleased with them and that is why we stayed with them. They have been very good with the price. They have been good to us over the years
- HomeServe USAThis wound up being much more complicated then it need be and required three visits. First to diagnose the issue. Second was to replace one part. The third visit was required because not all parts which should have been replaced were. But after all was said and done the job was completed. I wound up talking with a case manager in, I assume, the vice-president's office. It turns out he did ultimately hear of the issues I was dealing with in getting the boiler fixed. The case manager listened, was friendly and left me feeing that she was in my court wanting to help me out. It's nice to talk with someone who can communicate over the phone a sincere desire to help you out. The problem that needed resolution was resolved and the company was generous in its recompense for the extra time I had to spend in getting the problem resolved. The case manager turned a problem into an opportunity, or, to say it another way, turned a negative into a positive. The sort of thing that goes a good ways in communicating a positive message. All in all I plan to stay with this company. In owning a rental I have a responsibility to repair the boiler as quickly as can be if the furnace boiler decides it does not want to work. Winter doesn't go on vacation and when you have tenants they are not concerned about when or how the boiler is repaired they just want it repaired. They have the right to that expectation because they are paying for an apartment with a working heating system. As long as the tenants do their job of paying their rent and I do my job of maintenance everybody is happy. So having a company standing behind me ready to repair my boiler helps me do my job
- SilaI got a year's contract for the maintenance, after they installed the water heater and automatic shut-offs for the water heater and washer. It took three visits to just do the regular maintenance, because they were unprepared for our configuration, and in one case sent an electrician, rather than a plumber. They refused to renew our service contract, and were less than pleasant about it. Since they created the configuration (I was please with the installers and their service), they should have been able and willing to do the routine service
- HomeServe USAAfter paying for homeServe; I was told that they were to BUSY to help me. I would not have HomeServe again! !!!
- Select Home WarrantyI signed up with Select Home Warranty in May of 2014 when we purchased a new home. When I signed up, I explained to the sales person that the reason I was signing up was that my home was built in 1999 and the hot water heater and the furnace were original to the house and I was worried that they were going to go soon. The rep explained that that was what this policy was for. I purchased a 12 month policy, but they threw in an extra 6 months taking it to 18 months. I filed one claim in the first year. The heat in our upstairs was not working well - rooms were not being heated evenly. After filing, calling, and having to follow up I finally got someone to come out to the house to check and I was told that it was a "duct problem" and not covered. In April, when my original policy was about a year old, I received a call where Select was pushing me to renew. I was confused since I thought my policy was for 18 months, and they assured me that it was but if I signed up to renew then, they would throw in another 6 months free. Fair enough. I was told that if I did not want to keep the policy at any time I could get a prorated refund. In November, my hot water heater was acting funny. When I filed a claim I was told that water pressure was not covered. I explained that it was not heating up as well and they reluctantly sent my claim through. After a week I had not heard from a contractor. I called Select. They said that I should have heard from someone and they would put it out to another contractor. I waited for several days and did not hear from the new contractor. Finally, I got the contractor's number from Select and called him. He told me he had asked Select to remove him from their list as he never received payment for the jobs he did through them. He was nice, and said he would come help me, until he learned that I was well over an hour away from him. The last claim I filed was because my refrigerator was leaking. This time I was told that my policy did not cover leaks so this was not covered. I decided I was done and wanted to cancel. So, let's do the math: I got the original policy in May of 2014 for 18 months - paid a little over $500. Renewed in May of 2015: another 18 months. Tried to cancel in January of 2016. Original Policy was May 2014-November 2015 (18 months) New Policy - another 18 months - November 2015 - April 2017 My prorated refund: $21 Apparently, the additional 6 months that they throw in gets tacked on to the END of your policy - whenever that may be...not to the end of the original year...WHAT? Fine. I say, then I won't cancel - you have not mailed the check yet, for $21, I will keep it. And they tell me I cannot keep it, it has already been canceled. Complaints are: 1. They do not cover anything. 2. Trying to get a contractor to your house is unreasonably difficult. 3. They are not honest when they tell you if you want to cancel you can get a prorated refund at any time. 4. Now they are telling me my cancellation has already been processed, when it has not. When I originally asked to cancel I specifically asked what the amount would be which they did not provide (I have written documentation of this). Had I known it was $21, I would not have canceled

"Very happy with them. If they don't have a preferred vendor in your area who can handle your repair, you can hire whomever you want. Important: you must get an approval from them before you hire the vendor if you want the service covered. You pay the vendor directly for the work and email Complete Protection a copy of the receipt; they reimburse you within 30 days as promised. I've used them three times over the past year and everything went smoothly. They reimburse me on time and are easy to deal with over the phone.

"Reitering my comments above. As you go from the Angies List web site link to
<br /> American Residential Warranty's (ARW's) Home Page everything appears O.K. .. You have a choice of basically, 4 Plans reflecting coverages and prices on a Schedule. However, after you have committed to using ARW's services and paid then, you receive a lengthy "Thank you" email from the Company whereupon
<em>at that time</em> they disclose there is a $55
<em>per call/visit Service Fee. </em>This Service Fee charge dramatically changes the "competitiveness" of ARW v. other national companies. It certainly left a "strange and bitter taste in my mouth" learning there was a $55 Service Fee

"We chose High Tech because it was able to piece together certain parts of its policies in order to provide coverage for our geothermal heating and air conditioning system. Furthermore, they've been very helpful in terms of providing information and answering our questions, and on one occasion they were even able to help us find a company to service the system for a lesser price than the original installer.

"I have a contract with Home Serve. I been with Home Serve, for what, 9 years now or 10 something like that. Home Serve do a beautiful job every year. They do inspection on my boiler, check everything anything that's a problem they repair and fix it. That's part of the contract. I have no problem with them so far I've been with them for a very long time. I use them every year in August, they come there before the Winter they would come there and service my boiler. They due to come back again this year in August again to make sure my boiler is running good for the Winter. It's part of the contract. I pay three-something a year for it and every year I call and any problem with the boiler, that's included in the price, for parts and labor all that stuff. It's beautiful. Something was wrong with my, I think my ignition light with my boiler. They came and they repair it and they were gone. Very professional, when the guys come there they explain to you, you know, they explain things to you as they work. You ask them questions and they break it down to you, which I have done numerous times, you know what I mean. They tell me how often should I change the water in my boiler. They talk to you, the repair guys are very good. They come there they do their job and they go on. Because the price I paid every year and the labor and the parts, if I had to that with a plumber, it would be a lot more than that, way a lot more. Right, so the price I pay with the contract comes to $300 a year, and that includes parts and labor, oh yeah I'll take that anytime. I would never let them go. When you call them they give you a window, you know, what time the technician gonna be there. I've never had a problem, I've been with them a very long time and I have never had any problem with them. When I call them. they tell me the time they coming, and they always there. I'm not home, my wife is home and they came and left and she text me while I'm at work. The guy came there did the boiler, and he go on. I like that.

"My major complaint was how long it took, but in their defense, there seems to be a shortage of qualified technicians. I would have given them an A for the repair work which was fine except for one small slip up which he corrected. The price seemed steep for the time involved, but cheaper than new countertops. All in all, I would hire them again
