Most all warranty companies cover light repairs and maintenance only. Any client who is offered one for free better read the fine print, which I advise them in every report. I do not offer them, and never will. Too many issues with the companies that project a bad image onto you.

For the past six years, home warranty service companies have been the No. 1 "worst graded" category by Angie's List members. In 2010, 54 percent of the reviews on these types of businesses received a D or F grade. Members misunderstanding or disagreeing with what their warranties cover and the quality of repair work are cited in the majority of complaints.
