About WarrantyRating
WarrantyRating is an independent research and review platform dedicated to helping homeowners make informed decisions about home warranty coverage.
Our Mission
Home warranty contracts are confusing, full of fine print, and the industry is plagued with misleading advertising. We exist to cut through the noise and give homeowners honest, unbiased information about what home warranties actually cover — and which companies deliver on their promises.
How We Research & Review
Every company review on WarrantyRating is based on:
- Direct company analysis — We obtain and read the actual service contract and terms of coverage for each company, not just their marketing materials.
- Customer review aggregation — We analyze thousands of verified customer reviews from the BBB, Google, Trustpilot, and Consumer Affairs.
- Expert consultation — Our reviews are verified by licensed home inspectors and real estate professionals who understand what can go wrong in a home.
- Pricing transparency — We obtain real quotes and verify published pricing for accuracy.
- Claims testing — Where possible, we document real claims experiences through reader submissions and direct testing.
Our Editorial Standards
WarrantyRating earns revenue through referral fees when readers click links and purchase plans through our site. This never influences our rankings or ratings. Companies cannot pay to be ranked higher. A company with a lower referral rate that delivers better value will always rank higher on our platform.
Our editorial team is kept entirely separate from our business development team. Writers and analysts do not know which companies pay us or how much.
