FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Can I buy a home warranty in California?
Home service contracts are sold in California, with providers and plans that vary by ZIP code. Request a quote and we check what is available for your address.
Does a home warranty cover storm or water damage?
No. Damage from storms, flooding, fire and freezing is a matter for homeowners insurance. A home warranty covers failures from normal wear.
Do I need a home inspection first?
Most providers do not require one, but problems that existed before coverage began are excluded, so knowing the condition of your systems helps.
