All reimbursement details will be included in your welcome book, which will be mailed after the warranty has been paid. Only one reimbursement claim per member, per 12-month period. Had been on hold waiting for almost an hour for customer service to answer my call . Problem still exist for 9 days for a non heating clothes dryer. No one on both sides repairman and the Home Warranty would update the status of the claim.
Every time I would call them, I would be told a different thing by each person and no one wanted to provide a solution to fix the problem. This is unacceptable especially since our case was supposed to be expedited as a “medical emergency” since we have 2 year old son with breathing issues which are being exacerbated by the heat. In addition to how long it is taking us to get the issue resolved, we are also having to pay $1000 out of pocket. Long & Foster Home Warranty also offers a 180-day workmanship guarantee, which is rare in the home warranty industry. Most companies cap their guarantee period to 30 to 90 days. An extended repair guarantee is ideal for instances when your affected systems or appliances are old and prone to multiple malfunctions.

Some of these items are duplicates of the ones already available in your standard plan, while others, like the pool and spa, outdoor gas line, and water line, are exclusively available as add-ons. Each add-on comes with an additional cost that will be added to your standard plan price. Horrible company with awful support and reimbursement.

It took over five weeks to replace an air conditioner and cost over $1700 out of pocket with a warranty. Informed me after 3 weeks of waiting that I would need to pay a second deductible to cover the same claim that was fixed poorly. Any HVAC company will do a free inspection. This company maintains absolutely no accountability if they provide a poor product.
Next day visit from ABS appliance in Fairfax Virginia area. Issue of failed bearing immediately identified by technician. Also observed worn gasket which allowed drips to seep form door while running. Technician explained that repair was expensive and likely to not be approved by warranty company. Next day I followed up with call to investigate status of claim.

We purchased our home through Long & Foster in 2017. Our realtor explained the advantages of adding additional coverage to our new home using a home warrant policy. The service company the warranty company provided us was absolutely terrible. They were hard to get in touch with and the technicians were not qualified. There were several issues with the replacement water heater and a pipe started leaking gas one month after replacement. We request another claim for the pipe and the service company couldn't fix the issue without the gas being turned on .
Over 50 minutes on phone so far and about to speak to the fourth person, each time having to start from scratch to explain who I am and why I am talking to them. Bottom line, I am told the claim is denied due to "overloading and user abuse". Now I can't even get a hold of a manager or a "member services" representative to cancel and refund the warranty which I had just renewed 2 weeks ago... One drawback of the company is its service fee of $100 and its $200 deductible per service call. If the majority of your systems and appliances are old and vulnerable to frequent repairs, the This Old House Reviews Team recommends opting for a coverage plan with a lower service fee, such as American Home Shield.
In 2017, HomeService of America—a residential real estate company owned by Berkshire Hathaway—bought Long & Foster for an undisclosed amount. This is the only home warranty that reimburses you, up to $1,000 per year, when you have to pay a deductible on a homeowners insurance claim. Simply report your paid claim within 45 days.
