Landmark (LHW) sent a plumber to repair a leak. LHW claim all of their contractors are licensed and bonded. The repair was not completed to code. LHW UNWILLING to PROVE contractor was licensed and bonded. LHW stated if I didn't want the same contractor to return, I would have to pay a new service fee. Contractor UNWILLING to return or provide a valid license. We are more than willing to have the same contractor return if he can PROVE he is licensed, bonded, and has pulled the proper permits.
Dear Charrie,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear of your experience. When selecting a contractor to add to our network, we make sure that they are licensed, bonded, and insured. This is information that Landmark cannot disclose to you in regard to their own business.
At this time, you have spoken to a customer service supervisor and we are pending the documentation from your inspector to review the work the contractor preformed on your plumbing. We will be able to determine the next steps on getting a contractor back out to your home from there.
I have received your e-mail and will be replying to you there as well. We can discuss your concerns in more detail from there.
Sincerely,

I have pumped money into this company for 3 years and received nothing from them. I have submitted 3 claims in 3 years and paid $60 each time for someone to come out and either say it is not covered or they have only one company they work with who is booked out and we have now had a broken dishwasher for 3 weeks and waiting another week on parts. Customer service has done nothing to help. In fact, I have spent 2 hours on the phone with them the past 2 weeks. After talking to a manager he said he would handle it and would make sure it was resolved within 24 hours. Today is 9 days later and never heard back from him. Had the worst conversation with a representative today which was the breaking point. Do not waste your money with this company! They will fight to not cover whatever is broken. $3,000 of premiums completely wasted. Don't make the same mistake!
Dear Amy,
I’m sorry to hear of your past and current experience with your dishwasher. I have recognized that your ticket has been open for 11 days. We are sorry there is a delay in repairs due to your part being on back order. Once the contractor is able to receive the part, they will be able to go out to your home to complete the repairs.
Your feedback is taken very seriously as it plays a vital role in our quality assurance and it provides great insights on how we can improve to better service our homeowners. It has been sent to the proper departments to implement the necessary steps to better our services.
If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to me directly at customerrelations@landmarkhw.com.

Have three houses covered by Landmark currently and have had good luck with them in the past. Last week, I had a claim for a fridge. Paperwork was sent in claims requesting 2 people due to the number of hours labor it would take to fix my fridge. Landmark said they only pay for one tech so the repair company said, "That's fine. We can do it with just one guy but it's going to take twice as long..." Landmark is denying taking care of this... So long story short it's going to take 10 hours for one tech to fix or 5 hours for 2 techs to fix... Same amount of money... Tell me why this doesn't make sense for Landmark to handle and take care of the customer???
Dear Kevin,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. Your feedback is taken very seriously as it plays a vital role in our quality assurance and it provides great insights on how we can improve to better service our homeowners.
I was able to review your claim. We are not denying it. We have offered you two options. Your refrigerator’s evaporator, compressor, and heat exchanger will need to be replaced. These three parts and labor will be covered by Landmark. In order for the contractor to complete the repairs, he will need a second technician to assist him. Unfortunately, the warranty does not cover for the second man. Due to this, there will be an out of pocket cost you would be responsible for.
If you do not wish to pay the out of pocket costs, we have also offered you a cash out for the repairs. The cash out includes the parts and labor at Landmark’s cost, which is less than retail.
At this time, we are pending your decision on how to move forward. You can give us a call at 866-306-2999 or e-mail me directly at customerrelations@landmarkhw.com to inform us of your decision.
We look forward to hearing from you.

Living in a rural area, I chose Landmark when I moved in because they had well and septic service as part of their optional coverage. Shortly after moving into the house of my dreams my dishwasher broke. No big deal, I’m not going to die washing dishes by hand for a week. 6 weeks later I finally got my dishwasher fixed. Annoying, but finally handled. Now, here we are, mid-June in Texas. My air conditioner breaks. I call customer service on Sunday, which has been assigned to a non-American call center. After much time spent on the phone my ticket was opened. Someone would call me in 4 hours they said. Turns out they meant 4 business hours. It would have to wait until noon on Monday. Instead at 8:00 am I reach out to the “contractor”. His first words were, "I don’t know why they sent the ticket to me I don’t service that area, but June 26th between 3:00 and 5:00 I might be able to get you in."
Today is the 18th. That’s a long time to be hot. Again I call Landmark. The lady said they would have contractor relations try to find someone. 48 hours before they could get back to me in regards to finding a contractor to schedule an appointment. They refuse to allow me to pay a licensed contractor and reimburse me. This company has terrible customer service and even worse contractors. I’m looking into a way to cancel my contract with them and pay a company that values their customers.
Dear Michelle,
I am sorry to hear of this experience. Under normal circumstances, services will be initiated within 48 hours after the service request has been opened. This includes scheduling an appointment at a later date with the contractor. We understand the heat may be uncomfortable. With the summer months, Landmark and our contractors are doing all that we can to provide timely and quality service to accommodate all of our homeowners.
Unfortunately, the warranty does not reimburse for any work that has been done without prior approval. We were able to assign you to a contractor on 06/18/18, however, the ticket was cancelled per your request. If you would still like to have a contractor out to your home, I can re-open your ticket. You will then just need to schedule with the contractor.
Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns. You can reach me directly at customerrelations@landmarkhw.com. I will also be able to go over the cancellation process with you.

Horrible service. I feel cheated. My house has been 85°F+ yesterday and today. Landmark has no contractors available to come make the repairs and will not allow me to submit a bid and get the work done today from a local company, even though it states it can be done in the contract. Go with anyone else, this company will take your money and make your life as difficult as possible when trying to get repairs done.
Updated on 06/18/2018: Glad to know I'm getting more excuses. I reached out yesterday and spent a large amount of time discussing prior approval and bid with a rep online. After refusing to offer me to submit a bid from the outside contractor, I decided to pay the bill myself since your company clearly can't get their act together for the purpose of good customer service. You and your company clearly don't understand the uncomfortable heat or you would have allowed me to go with an outside contractor and not have to wait until it was convenient for you. With the poor service I've received, not only will I hesitate to reach out in the future, I will not extend my warranty and no longer recommend your company to others because you clearly can't get the job done and make your customers happy.
Dear Clayton,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I am sorry to hear of your experience with your A/C unit. I do not see that you had reached out to us prior to hiring your own contractor for repairs. Unfortunately, the warranty does not reimburse for any work done outside of the warranty without prior approval. We would like the opportunity to assist you by sending an in-network contractor to diagnose your unit. We understand that the heat may be uncomfortable and will do what we can to service you in a timely manner. In the future, please do not hesitate to reach out to us for any questions you may have.

I have had Landmark for approximately two years. I have filed two service requests with them and those were fulfilled. Calling in to their customer service is almost impossible. You have to jump through so many hoops just to get a live person. That person is usually a sales rep that has no access to do anything but sell you product. I called in to place a service request to find out my account is suspended for being behind on payments. I am on autodraft and they literally took payment the day before. Come to find out, they switched systems in March.
Due to the system switch, my March payment failed to draft. In my eyes, that isn't my issue; however, I did authorize the payment. I also authorized the service fee. A week later they took payment AGAIN. I have called and left multiple messages for the accounting department. No one has returned my call. The sales people have been super nice but that is about it. I called to cancel and they hung up on me. Ridiculous.

Bought a house and this warranty. House inspected. All’s good. Weeks later the pool blower goes out. I call and the pool company was dispatch and I left a young man early 20’s at the house. I couldn’t stay. And no repair. I was informed that it’s previous damages. It worked when the inspector checked the whole house and only wrote the items that had issues. So I cannot prove otherwise. I bought the warranty for that reason. Especially when I buy a house that I don’t know. So why buy warranty when you buy Home and then will not repair it. I rather use another warranty company that honors the policy.

Last year my downstairs hvac went out when it was 95+ and it took 5 days to fix. This year my upstairs unit is out now 4 days. It’s Wednesday and the contractor will not be here until Friday.

I haven’t even heard from them but my $70 service charge sure was sucked out of my account on Monday. I could of had someone here but if I do that they won’t reimburse me.

My AC was continuously running when the outdoor temp was 95+ so I opened a case # ** with Landmark to check on AC health. They sent a contractor, contractor said evap coil is leaking and Landmark has denied the claim saying this is a pre existing condition! I have home inspection and licensed HVAC inspection reports from Dec 17 when I bought this house and there were no issues identified with the system. Now, Landmark has just randomly denied the claim and marked it as a pre existing condition which makes no sense!!! Such a scam.

So, I have Landmark Home Warranty. My aircon unit is not working great, so I put a service request #1428884, they send the technician who says the unit is 20 years old, inefficient, and damaged because of hail, weather and possibly also because of weed-eater tools coming in contact (which he also mentions has no bearing on its functioning poorly). Landmark using the weed-eating tools as an excuse of me intentionally damaging the units and refusing my claim. The technician sent the response in my presence, in a voice message... it's all recorded. And yet these blood sucking leeches of warranty company... may they roast in hell.
Dear Sarang,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. I am sorry to hear of your A/C experience. Your claim has been denied due to the cause of the failure. Your outdoor unit's failure is due to the condenser coils being damaged. The damages were not due to normal wear and tear. Unfortunately, this is not covered under the warranty.

I moved into a home that had been inspected but when I got in the home, the faucet didn't work. I called Landmark, paid my $60s and within three days they sent out a plumber. The plumber replaced the cartridge only to find that the problem was inside the faucet itself. The plumber called Landmark to replace it and then left my house. Landmark called me within only a few minutes to inform me that they would be willing to send me $107 to replace the faucet which I will need to install myself. The Pfister faucet that I am replacing costs $278.33 at the cheapest place I can find online...

What a nightmare experience! Our claim has been denied and after reading through the contract we feel that you should not be able to deny it. We have spoken with Angie ** (Manager) several times who has done nothing to help or listen and resolve our claim. Your reason for denial is poor maintenance previous to us purchasing the home. We did have a home inspection done that visually inspected the items and mechanically tested them. All items were found to be in working order and near end of life expectancy.
We provided you the report as soon as we moved in (Dec 2017). We have taken care of the furnace in the few short months we have lived in the home, changing filters regularly. Our furnace is covered according to the contract. We have tried to contact the service technician (Husky Maintenance) and have not heard a word from them either. You took our $60 service fee and all he did was say the same thing we told you when we opened the claim. What a scam! We would never recommend LHW.
Dear Jalise,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I am sorry to hear of your experience with your furnace.
According to the contractor's diagnosis the fins are bent and is full of debris. It is restricting the air flow of your unit. The fins were bent due to improper cleaning.
Unfortunately, the claim will remain a denial due to the bent fins. This would not be considered a normal wear and tear failure.

COMPLETELY WORTHLESS. Anything they offer you can do cheaper with a better handyman, because THEY WON'T honor their contract.
Dear Edward,
I am sorry to hear that you feel this way. We appreciate the time you have taken to share your feedback.
At the time of your claim, 10/19/17, your warranty was still fairly new. Per the guidelines, we expect that all covered units are properly installed and in good working order at the time of the effective date of your warranty.
Your claim was denied for multiple reasons. Your washer's failure was due to it being overloaded. Your dishwasher was taken apart and had been missing parts. A deceased rodent was also found in the tub of the dishwasher. The leak in your fridge was caused due not having a pressure regulator in your home. The warranty does not cover for items that are not currently installed. Failures that are not due to normal wear and tear are also not covered under the warranty.
Due to your experience, your service call fee was refunded to you. I do apologize for the frustrations this may have caused you.

Landmark does not support their product, clients or sales representative. I am a realtor. I always have the A/C unit cleaned and serviced as part of the contract to protect my client from the risk of pre existing conditions. My client's a/c unit stop working 2 months and Landmark had a vendor come out. He said the unit's panel need to be replaced and that it would take Landmark about 4 days to approve the part. Therefore the vendor said he would need to hotwire it and that the unit would be running continuous until the part came in and if they needed to turn the a/c unit off they would need to do it by turning off the breakers.
Ok 4 days later he replaced the panel and the clients called back and the a/c now was making a noise and not working properly. The vendor now says that it is because it was not wired properly when it was originally put in and this caused damaged to the drum and this is all previous damage. After fighting with Landmark for over a week with a client who has a 8 month baby in Texas with no a/c they said that if their vendor did do damage they are not responsible for the vendor and they would not cover a mistake made by their vendor.

Landmark is the biggest regret of my home buying experience. They usually don't answer their phones. There was one day I waited twice for an hour before being disconnected, only to be told the next day two different stories--one about how their phone system had a glitch and another about how it was a power surge from lightning. They don't cover most of the things I have called about (even though I have the most expensive warranty). I involved one of their managers and finally got my dishwasher replaced. Then they sent me a check for half the amount, and I had to fight to get the rest. Now I have a disposal out, and they say my warranty expired a year ago, even though it's not and they just replaced my dishwasher two months ago and claim to have no record of it. This company is a complete sham. Steer clear.

I've had multiple Landmark warranties given to me from real estate agents as a part of the sale of a home. When it comes to little things, like changing the keys at the new house, they are fine. When it comes to the big things get ready to fight for your life. They will fabricate reason after reason why they don't have to cover the repairs. Be careful of their wording. They are VERY specific what constitutes "damage" versus "wear and tear". Even issues that are obviously wear and tear, like an AC board frying the compressor, they will claim is "damage" caused by the board and refuse to pay.
How can one component be accused of damaging another component and make them decide to not pay for a repair? This scenario has played out at least 2 times and you'll be left paying for the full repair. Whether it's 300 dollars for your fridge or 3000 for your air conditioning unit. Seriously? Avoid this company like the plague. They will screw you when it really counts. If your real estate agent offers to buy one of these warranties for you BEG them to switch to a more reputable company.

Original Review: April 30, 2018
I purchased a home in August of 2018 and was provided a warranty through the seller at time of the sale, it happened to be Landmark Home Warranty. I moved into the home in early August, and noticed the AC was not particularly cold, and on days that were in the 90's the best I could get was cooling to around 80-82 inside the house with the AC units running full blast all day chewing through electricity to power the units. I opened a service case with Landmark, and had a technician out within a day or so to diagnose the issue. As it turns out the two units were down 7 pounds of R22 so the cooling system was simply not able to cool the air.
I asked the tech if R22 simply 'wore out' or if there was a leak in the system, he confirmed that it does not wear out but there was likely a leak somewhere. I asked him about finding and repairing the leak before charging the AC system since it didn't make sense to put VERY expensive R22 into a system that was leaking (never mind the environment). He stated it would be fine and they put a "stop leak" in the lines. $100 paid to Landmark for the service call and another $350 to their technician for the 7 pounds of R22 later, our AC was blowing cold air. For 6 weeks we used the AC until it cooled down in Dallas, and turned the system off for the season.
Fast forward to April 2018, Dallas is warm again, in the mid-80's this past week. I turned on our AC system to find the house not getting cool again. I reached out to Landmark HW because this is likely due to the same thing that happened last year, the leak was not fixed, the system is down R22 and the house will not cool. Landmark said sorry since it is past 30 days this is going to be a new call, where I again will spend nearly $500 to repair the system (hopefully that is all). I asked about why the leak was not even looked for and was told "well the stop leak should have been enough." Clearly it was not.
I asked about getting a leak test to find the culprit to make sure the doesn't happen again as I do not want to be paying $500/season to recharge my AC... not to mention the effect on the environment by leaking R22 to deplete our ozone layer which they clearly do not have an issue with. Apparently if the leak is visible, they will repair, BUT they will not pay to look for it. Basically I am paying Landmark to call a technician, paying the technician for the R22 since it is not covered by Landmark, and nobody wants to look for the leak to fix the issue since that might actually cost money, and since I am footing all the cost to Landmark and the AC company why would they want to go look for problems to fix. The best part, I just re-upped my warranty with this outfit. I will be looking for a new company that treats their account better, this is just ridiculous.
Dear John,
I am sorry to hear of your experience with your air conditioning unit. I understand the frustrations this may have caused you. The warranty guarantees our contractor’s work for 30 days. If the unit fails once again due to the same issue, a recall ticket will be sent to the contractor to check their work without another service call fee.
It appears the contractor’s first diagnosed the leak and used a leak stop to prevent any further leaking. As it has been months since your unit was last looked at, we will need to open a new dispatch ticket to obtain a new diagnosis, which I do see you were able to open yesterday (04/30/18). Once the contractor has been able to diagnose the cause of the failure and what will be needed, we will be able to update you on how to move forward. We will go over any out of pocket cost, if any, before repairs are approved. They are scheduled to go out to your home today (05/01/18).
I would like to remain updated on the progress of your current dispatch ticket. If you have any questions or further concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly at customerrelations@landmarkhw.com.

We originally had a great experience with our warranty claims and even referred them to friends who ended up selecting them and realtors who are now recommending them. However I am completely regretting that and will no longer recommend or consider renewing. If you just need a repair the experience is great however after filing the same claim three times with over 8 visits for the same issue the last repair guy said that it needed to be replaced. They then told me that the third claim would be the final one and if it couldn't be repaired that was it.
At this time they now want a second opinion and are completely inconsiderate that this is the 9th time that my husband or I will have to take off work to have yet another person come out. They are trying to avoid replacing our cooktop after we have been told everything that could be replaced has been replaced. At this point we are more than irritated and feel awful we even gave them as recommendations to others so beware there is a difference of repair vs. replacement.
Dear Mandy,
First and foremost, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. I am sincerely sorry for the experience you are having to make you feel this way.
I have been able to review the history of your oven’s dispatch tickets. At this time, the original contractor has been unable to determine the cause of your oven’s failures. They have recommended that a second opinion is sent to get a new set of eyes on your oven. We will need a diagnosis to determine what the next steps will be. Once the new contractor has submitted their diagnosis, Landmark will take into consideration the past repairs done on your unit in the last few months.
It is my recommendation to schedule an appointment with the new contractor. I will be coordinating with our customer service department and staying involved for the remainder of the dispatch ticket for your oven to ensure you are being presented the appropriate solutions.
I would be happy to answer any further questions or concerns you may have. You can reach me directly at customerrelations@landmarkhw.com.

We have been customers of Landmark Home Warranty for over a year. We have never had a claim. We renewed our warranty this year and tried to set up a service for our HVAC. When we called we were told that our payment was never charged to the credit card on file and the month prior they charged $.01 (one cent) less than the amount due! We were never advised that our monthly payment was not processed and thus our account was not active. When we spoke to the company representatives they advised us that the payment issue was an error on their part.
Our policy also was not active during the time they had made this mistake! They never apologized and continued to provide extremely poor customer service. I spoke then to their retention/customer relations department (Cheyenne), when advising her we were considering cancellation, she told me "there would be a $75.00 administration fee"! They also refused to refund the remaining payment which we had just made! I would never recommend this company to anyone and found them to be LESS THAN TRUSTWORTHY in every way!

Hello Dennison,
I am sorry to hear of your recent experience with your pool request. I was able to pull up your work order for review. According the contractor's diagnosis, the main pump lost its prime due to the suction plumbing. The inlet 3 way needs to be replaced because the grease knob broke off and is causing it to suck air. It was determined that the failure was not due to normal wear and tear. The request was denied due to the grease knob being broken. This caused your manifold to fail, which is a secondary damage and not covered under the warranty.
The warranty has the right to determine, at our sole decision, whether a covered unit will be repaired or replaced. However, we do go by our contractor’s professional opinion to assist us in our decision.

Updated review: April 15, 2018
After filing a complaint with the Department of Commerce, Division of Consumer Protection for the State of Utah, which is the headquarters of Landmark Home Warranty, Landmark has resolved the case to our satisfaction by reimbursing us the cost of our HVAC repair.
Original Review: March 13, 2018
After being a Landmark customer for one year, we opened a claim for HVAC service because we heard an odd noise from the unit. Under our contract, we pay a monthly premium and they guarantee they send a contractor technician to diagnose the claim when we pay an additional house visit charge. This was only the second claim we had made in all that time. Landmark canceled the claim and responded they would not send someone for a diagnostic visit. We had checked online HVAC service websites that the hissing sound we heard was serious and needed attention. Although we sent these URLs to Landmark, they insisted that they would not authorize a technician to repair it or even check the unit.
This happened in several stages. First they did not respond to our claim with an apology that the representative had a personal issue for a few days. Then when we escalated the issue to management, the manager mistakenly said it was a "water heater" issue and did not warrant service. Even after we corrected her and responded that we would notify the BBB about a breach of contract and/or cancel our home warranty, she did not attempt any customer service initiatives to keep us as customers.
We filed a Better Business Bureau complaint and informed them that we were willing to remain customers if Landmark applied their contract terms and authorized a technician to check the HVAC. If they didn't then we wanted our monthly premiums for the past year refunded to us since they had breached their contract. At that point rather than work with us, Landmark terminated our coverage. This was 15 days earlier than our contract terms. They had earlier assured us that we had coverage until March 19, 2018 because we had paid until then.
We were surprised by the cancellation because it showed they did not attempt to retain us as customers. Because they had our CC on file, they had already charged us for that period and did not reimburse us the money. Worse for us, all of our property was no longer covered. Landmark breached their contract with us twice - first by not covering our claim for diagnosis/repair and second for canceling all of our property coverage and taking additional money from us without providing service for that time period.
Dear Reem,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback. I apologize for the experience you had with your furnace.
The service request was not opened, due to it being a noise concern. A referral should have been offered to you to assist you in the hissing noise of your furnace. We understand that this noise is not normal and want to assist you in any way that we can. When opening the service request, you had stated it did not affect the operation of your unit, but that it was less efficient and was an intermittent issue. It is within the guidelines of the warranty that we only cover issues that mechanically effect your unit. With the referral, a service request would be opened when an issue is found.
In order to open a service request, your warranty would need to be in an active status.I would be happy to assist you with this, if you wish to proceed in opening the service request.

Landmark Home Warranty responded very quickly for a clogged drain and I had a contractor to my home in a few hours. Landmark accepted my copay immediately and got the contractor on site. Upon investigation by the contractor and myself, it was discovered that the clog was outside of the house and Landmark would probably reject the claim. I had to accept that and still do. Landmark technicians suggested to access the clog from the crawl space to clear the lines. The contractor and myself said, "No. That is not the proper way to clean out the drain lines." It would have required the contractor to drag his cleanout equipment down into the crawl space. Open the drain lines where no cleanouts were located. This technique was not only labor intensive and would have caused a sewage spill in the crawl space requiring more work and claims. Landmark rejected the claim. I accepted that and paid the contractor.
What bothers me is that Landmark kept the copay and did not refund me the money, their excuse was the copay was to get the contractor to the site. I paid the contractor in full. I have not heard if the contractor received the copay. Landmark has their excuses on what they will cover. Better to know now. Also Landmark recommends improper methods to do repairs and quite frankly dangerous.

The warranty covers what is inside of your home’s foundation. Landmark had asked the contractor for his professional opinion on alternative solutions on clearing the stoppage from inside of your home to determine coverage. We do go by the contractor’s professional opinion. Therefore, your service request was denied as your drain needed to be cleaned out from an exterior cleanout.
Whether a service request is denied or approved, the service call fee is required in order to have a contractor diagnose your issues. The contractor has been paid the service call fee.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to me for any further questions, comments, or concerns.Respectfully,

If Landmark Home Warranty is "premiere" this must be a sucky industry! This service is a rip off. The only reason I have it is that my real estate agent wrote it into the contract for the seller to pay for. The warranty covers NOTHING. Their special services are rip offs! Pay Landmark another $60, and their contractor will come rekey your house. It costs $60 or less from any reputable keysmith. Pay Landmark $60 and they'll have your furnace cleaned and inspected ($60 more for the AC). Reputable local contractors offer the same service for $49. All I can figure is that the real estate agents are getting kickbacks from Landmark. Customer Service: Their phone system is an impenetrable maze! Value: There is none to the customer! Coverage: They don't cover diddly!
Kirk,
Thank you for taking the time to rate and review us. We appreciate your feedback and take it very seriously. I am sorry to hear of your experience. If you wish to have the warranty assist you on coverage, a service request would need to be opened. The service call fee is due for every service request needed.
It is ultimately your decision on how you would like to move forward on repairs for your home. You are more than welcome to use your own contractor at your own expense. However, the warranty will not reimburse for work that is done outside of the guidelines.
I would be more than happy to assist you and address your concerns more appropriately. You can reach me directly at customerrelations@landmarkhw.com.

We called Landmark to make a claim on our homeowner warranty. Paid the fee to have an inspector come out and look at the cooktop that cracked while we were cooking crab legs in an aluminum pot. We hadn't used the cast iron skillet in weeks. We Googled using a cast iron skillet on a glass top before we had ever used it and it said it was fine. It says it's fine as long as the height isn't more than an inch. It's a small one just to heat tortillas. As we don't eat tortillas anymore we had not used it.
When the inspector came out I told him exactly what happened. He took pictures and said he would send the pictures to the warranty company and he would let us know. 3 days later they called to tell us they would not be covering it because on the counter we had the cast iron skillet and they said because of that they would not be covering it. What **!! We did nothing wrong. The glass top was not cracked. Nothing was wrong with it before we make the crab legs. This company is terrible!!! I will be writing to the BBB. To let them know what happened. Don't use this company. They don't pay.

First company that was assigned to repair plumbing issues could not come out for two days. Called LHW and they very quickly re-assigned to another company who came out the same day. The only delay was getting the approval for the repair since it involved replacing the water heater and the company wasn't able to complete the job on the first day. Not sure why it took the repair company so long to get the approval when I had received an email showing approval earlier that afternoon.

I was extremely happy with Landmark’s service and they went the extra mile to see that I was getting taken care of in a timely fashion. The previous owner of the condo we bought paid for the insurance for the first year and I haven’t had to buy it myself yet. When I had to file a claim, I looked at their site since it can be done online which is always convenient for people who don’t want to spend time on the phone. But I wanted to communicate with the people at Landmark since I didn’t know much about the policy. I ended up filing the claim on the phone and their reps were extremely knowledgeable about their product. They relayed the information to me and explained any questions I had.
I had to do a re-key and Landmark contracted Mr. Key Company in Austin for the job. They were extremely efficient. They gave me a window of time and the fellow they sent was very nice and respectful. He called me in advance and let me know he was on his way as he was supposed to give me a heads up half an hour in advance. He came earlier and was very good at what he was doing so it got finished very quickly. Then, he also informed me when to do the next re-key, that it was still part of the benefits, and that he could check the smoke detectors, too. I was very satisfied.
The people from Landmark assigned me to a person who made sure that the contractor came on time and that a good job was done. The person’s name was Monica and she efficiently emailed me and followed the case until completion. Landmark was very efficient from beginning to end when the claim had to be filed. It was nice to see people like that as I used to live amongst people in Napa Valley who were very inefficient. Landmark is a quality company when I dealt with them and I would tell that to people asking about them.

First call to notify of issue was on 1/24, Plumber was able to come out of 1/29 and provided us with a 5 hour window. We have a leaky faucet so assumed it would be covered and it was. Took plumber about 3 minutes to diagnose. (DNB Plumbing - DO NOT USE). He went out to his truck to call it in and after about 15 minutes came back and said it would be covered and he had to order a part and they would call us to schedule another appt once the part came in. 10 days later I contacted Landmark to see what was taking so long and said they had not heard back from the Plumber. They knew we had an issue and an appt yet they did absolutely nothing to follow up.
After going back and forth in email and Landmark saying they would make upper management aware of the lack of follow up on all ends and said they would contact the plumbing company I waited another 2 days with no contact from anyone and emailed Landmark and was told that I needed to contact the plumber to set up an appt and they were replacing my faucet with a standard chrome faucet. Translation - cheapest faucet they can find! We have a high end Moen faucet that actually is not broken and doesn't need to be replace, it just needs a new hose. We know this because we brought in a legitimate plumber who has fixed it for less than the service fee we paid to have the DNB clowns come out.
They told me that the new faucet and labor would cost them $72.50 and offered to give us a check for that amount since we are coming up on the one month anniversary of opening this claim. We are taking the money because we were not going to allow them to remove our $300 Moen faucet and replace with most likely something they found on the side of the road, not to mention the 5 hour window that the plumbing company gives you. I am holding my breath to get that check. Lesson learned - no amount of money is worth the unbelievable horrible service from Landmark. They also need to read the reviews on the Plumbing company that they use as there is not anything positive about them.
Mary,
Thank you for taking the time to rate and review us. I apologize for the experience you’ve had with your kitchen faucet. I do see that on 01/31/18, you were followed up with and the contractor was called to obtain a diagnosis. They were also reached out to once again before your e-mail on 02/07/18. That is not the intended time frame we expect to receive a diagnosis from out contractors and I am sorry for the delay.
As for the coverage of your kitchen faucet, the warranty will cover to replace your faucet with a chrome builder standard faucet. We understand that most homes may have an upgraded faucet. Therefore, we have provided an alternative option to help you get the faucet you want. The cash out is based on Landmark’s cost which is less than retail. The cash out includes labor and the cost of parts. The $70.00 service call fee is to get the contractor out to your home for diagnosis. The warranty pays for the covered repair cost after the service call fee is made.
We take your feedback very seriously and it has been forwarded to the correct department for the appropriate training to be done.

I've been happy with Landmark so far. They have saved me money overall from what it would be if I tried to get the repairs done on my own. My real estate agent suggested I get them when I bought my house. Submitting claims with them is not difficult at all. They've been efficient and courteous. You get somebody on the phone, turn in the claim and everything’s straight up. Then, within a couple of hours, you get a notice of who the contractor is and you call them and set an appointment. The contractors they've sent have also been good. However, once, they sent an electrician to fix the proto electric relays in my outside lights and the three-way switch and he told me that he couldn't figure the issue out. It was left unresolved but I paid for it. I didn't like that. Another experience I had was when my AC broke in the middle of summer and it took them a long time to get the parts needed. But they were able to fix it in the end.

My breaker box blew due to being overloaded, and landmark is saying that is not covered in the home warranty. The thing is, the breaker box has not been modified since it was inspected, meaning they agreed to cover it as it was. They either chose to warranty it, knowing there was an issue, or they chose not to do their due diligence when issuing the warranty. Either way they are passing the bill on to me, rather than owning up and paying for their choices. I paid for an inspection, I paid for a warranty, what more could I have done? I am not an electrician, and I should not be expected to be one, the system landmark warrantied, failed without any modification or abuse.
Thank you for the review, we are sorry for the frustrations you have had with the service request you recent had with the electrical issues you were experiencing. Unfortunately, I am not sure that there was anything else you could do. The failures that occurred were due to an overloaded breaker. We understand that you are not an electrician, therefore we did send out an electrical contractor to diagnosis the unit.
Landmark will not be able to offer cover for the unit as the failures were not normal wear and tear. At this time, you can work with the company that did go out for the diagnosis, Frandsen Technical Services. They should be able to help you get that situation resolved.

Every time I have made a claim or called with questions/concerns, there has been a problem...i.e. scheduling contractors that do not service my area on more than one occasion, contractors that arrive/walk around the yard without actually touching anything and leave, double billing once, and more. It states in your contract that the service fee will be deducted from my account when the contractor arrives, but the service fee has been deducted from my account within minutes of my making a claim...before a contractor is even scheduled. I have always had fabulous service in the past with another home warranty company, but the title company talked me into signing up with you. Huge lesson learned!! I would have already cancelled this contract, if I wasn't required to pay an early cancellation fee.

Landmark contacted me and offered to reimburse me all of my out of pocket expenses. Landmark also admitted fault on their part, which was huge to me. I have decided to give them another chance in hopes that they will do the proper training on their part to take better care of their customers.
Original Review: Feb. 1, 2018
Our heater went out and I contacted Landmark Tuesday morning. The company came the house Wednesday to fix issue. I was told the draft motor needed replaced and it would have to be ordered. I asked how long it would take to get the part and the technician told me I would have to get with Landmark on that because they order the parts. So I had him call Landmark when he was at our house and the Landmark employee told me it would take 24-48 to order the part. I told him it was extremely cold in our house and I would be willing to pay extra to have the part overnighted and I was told that was not an option. I then called Carrier where the part would be purchased from and they told me they had 4 in stock. Carrier is located about 30 miles from our house. I was even willing to go pick up the part.
The technician said he could not do anything without Landmark's approval because Landmark was the one paying them, which I understood. So I told Landmark that the parts were in stock and the technician could go get it and have it installed that day or the following. Once again, I was told that was not an option and that I would have to wait for them to order the part. The technician left and I had no idea when they were going to fix my heater. I never heard anything from Landmark. I called later that evening and was told I would have to call back this morning. They contacted me this morning because the customer service lady from last night had told them I requested the call. The "manager" informed me that the part had been ordered and it would be 7-10 days for it to be shipped in.
I told the guy the part was in stock and the technician was willing to go pick it up and install it today. Once again, I was told that was not an option and that I had to wait 7-10 days. I explained to them I knew what they were doing, They delay the part knowing the customer won't wait this long and will pay for it out of pocket. They did this to me last summer on our air conditioning unit, so I have now figured out the way they do business. I questioned a few contractors and they agreed that is how some of the home warranty companies work. I told the manager I was on the phone with that I would like to cancel my policy right then. He said he would connect me with someone that would handle that. He put me on hold for 5 minutes to come back and tell me that no one was available to handle that at the moment.
I called back an hour later and told them I would like to cancel my policy. The lady asked why and I explained the situation. She said she was going to connect me with someone that could finish up the cancellation. I then sat on hold for 5-10 minutes to have them disconnect the call. I called back again. I talked to another lady and told her I wanted to cancel my warranty, once again she asked why and I explained. She told me she was handling the cancellation and that I should receive an email in 24 to 48 hours stating that the warranty had been canceled. I am waiting to see if that actually happens.
In the meantime, I have an illness that cold temperatures cause it to flare up. So, we had to call back the company and pay them the full price to do the repair and they are handling it today, but at our expense not Landmark's. It is now costing us $750 out of pocket and we already paid Landmark $70.00 and they didn't even get the job handled. This is on top of the $57.08 Landmark charges me monthly for a policy they do not want to back when there is an issue.
Amanda,
I am sorry to hear of your frustrating experience with your furnace.
Under normal circumstances, parts may need to be ordered to perform repairs on your unit. The vendor gives Landmark an estimated time of arrival for the part, which is also communicated to you. In your situation, the part needed to be ordered directly from the manufacture. When ordering from a manufacture, it can take 7-10 business days for the part to get in. There are other options we can present to you if you do not want to wait for parts to get in.
We have recognized your concerns with your service request and understand that the proper steps were not taken to address your them appropriately. The vendor should have been called to determine a better ETA on your part. You have been working with another representative here and she has offered to reimburse you for what you paid to the contractor. This was accepted by you today, 02/02/18. The check will take 10-14 business days to get to you.
The process in which your service request followed is not the type of service we intend to provide. I apologize for the frustrations this has brought to you and your family. We greatly appreciate your feedback and take it very seriously. The appropriate training will be implemented to the parties involved to insure this does not happen again.

Landmark told me that they don't cover noises, then 2 days later the motor started leaking...they sent out DR ENTERPRISES to look at the claim, the report was turned into Landmark and they claim because it was leaking they were not covering the replacement of the motor. DON’T APPRECIATE them taking the contractor’s word over the customer that just shelled out 70.00 to put a band-aid and replace the seals instead of replacing the motor itself...like it was our fault that the item started leaking 2 days after reporting the loud shrill. We were told it was our responsibility to replace the motor at the tune of 250.00. Why do I have them to just tell me our contractor is correct and it's your fault the motor is leaking.

I purchased the warranty when I bought a house in March of 2017. So far, they have just paid for re-keying the house. Nine months later, the garage door started to make an unbearable, very loud screeching sound. We tried greasing the track, thinking it was the tracks. Did not work. Contacted Landmark, they told me who to call. The service guy came out, looked at it and said, "Wow, I've never seen one this old." He said there are no parts to fix the motor. He can't GET parts for it. No way to fix it. Landmark says unless it's BROKEN, not moving at all, they won't pay for it.
There is something seriously broken with it, the service person cannot get parts to fix it, but it's still moving the door, just screeching like you wouldn't believe. Landmark says unless it's DEAD, even if it's making unbearable sounds, they are not paying. So we're stuck...either pay for it ourselves, or endure the unbearable sound until it really does stop, and who knows when that will be. Landmark is a rip-off. NEVER again will I buy another policy with them. I'm giving them a 2 star on customer service because they are at least quick to respond.

Landmark Home Warranty was one of our options when we bought the house and they are quick responders. I’ve had good experience with their claims reps and submitting claims has been easy. The technicians, however, they just couldn’t do much. It was like, “Oh, we saw this and there’s not much we can do about the issue.” I was expecting them to actually go there and at the same day fix it and then get it done, but it was not the case. We’ve wasted a few good things because they couldn’t repair things. I wish the technicians were more capable of solving the problem. But other than that, they were very good, responsive, and they were on top of things.

The gas control valve went out on my water heater after being in the house for 2 months. It took 3 weeks and 3 phone calls on my part to finally get a response. They denied the repair because it was "pre-existing" but still collected their service call fee. Thankfully, my house has 2 water heaters. I called for an explanation because I know for a fact that it had been working when I moved in (we do prefer hot showers in December.) I was told my gas control valve broke because my water heater was old and that is considered "pre-existing". I mentioned that age is not listed as an exclusion.
Their response "but knobs are excluded (long pause) and a water heater gas control valve does (strong emphasis) have a knob." (touché) I asked about my advantage plan "No Fault Coverage" and was told that since my home inspection said my water heater was old, it was my fault it broke. In the end, it was worth paying a $75 admin fee just to get rid of my Landmark Home Warranty.
Anthony,
Please allow me to further explain the denial of your water heater service request. I recognize that your unit was failing due to age, however, that is not the reason your service request was denied. It was deemed a pre-existing issue and that is the cause for denial.
In the home inspection report that you had provided us, the water heater was marked deficient for these reasons:"C. Water Heating Equipment (Page 39, as seen in red.)
• Flue vent is not adequately secured at the roof framing.
• In our opinion, there should be a drip leg on the gas line. Most manufacturers
recommend drip legs be installed.
• Drain pan showed signs of water stains and rust and may indicate previous or
intermittent leakages. Based on the condition and location these units should be
examined by a plumber and scheduled for replacement as advised."
The third issue pointed out does recommend that a plumber look into your unit for replacement. Typically, a home inspection is done prior to the purchase of a home to find any issues the sellers may need to address for you.“A. Service Overview
1. In accordance with the terms of this Contract, Landmark Home Warranty, hereinafter also referred to as LHW, agrees to repair or replace systems and appliances mentioned as covered for the Contract Holder, hereinafter also referred to as You.”
The warranty only covers your usage during the warranty year. It is expected that all covered items are in good condition and properly working.“A. Service Overview
2. LHW will repair or replace systems and appliances mentioned as covered that:
a. Are in proper working order on the effective date of this Contract.
b. Have become inoperable due to normal usage after the effective
date of this Contract and are reported during the term of this
Contract.
c. Are properly installed and located within the perimeter of the
main foundation or detached garage, except those noted with an “*”.”
The No Fault Coverage is set in place for issues such as: permits, code violations, improper prior repair, haul away, and crane. The improper prior repair does help you in circumstances that may date prior to the warranty’s effective date if a repair was the cause. In your situation, there was not a repair that caused the failure.
I do apologize for all of the frustrations you have gone through. We are pleased to have had the pleasure to work with you.

Original Review: Jan. 8, 2018
I put 3 stars since I never had any issues with Landmark within my 3.5 years with them. But last time I had an issue with my Garage Door push arm. It was detached from Garage Door (see pictures). And Landmark's contractor was not able to permanently attach it back without extra spare part. The only long term solution was to put metal plate over the Door Push arm. Over the phone Landmark told me it's not covered at the date of repair. After everything was done I asked in written, that there was no other solution to fix issue with Garage door arm so it would be great to be reimbursed for repair which should be logically covered and I paid for it. Landmark unfortunately declined my request again. Landmark's reason is: Garage Door Arm is covered, but Garage Door is not as per contract. And only explicitly mentioned covered items can be fixed with payment from Landmark.
I understand that, but metal plate is not Garage Door part and moreover there was no other permanent solution to put Garage Door Push Arm connected to the door to have everything working. As long as there were no other solution for covered item to be working and fixed permanently, why it's not covered then? This is common sense, I cannot find anything in the contract regarding direct connections to the covered parts, so it's up to Landmark to interpret contract and not to pay. In summary I paid $100 for service call fee and another $70 metal plate from my pocket. That's to my mind not fair, and I started thinking that maybe other companies have more clear statement of covered parts and their direct connections, so there is no room for assumptions/interpretation in their contracts.

If I could give Landmark Home Warranty a star minus (-) I would. I have had 4 service calls to Landmark to repair my water dispenser and it has not been fixed (8-25-16, 2-18-17, 9-14-17, 11-20-17) again today 12-28-17 making 5 repair calls to repair one problem. Today when I called them back on the same problem they told me there would be another service call because there was a 30 period for warranty. It has been 8 days over the warranty period. It seems their repairs only last for about a month or a little more. I also, had a service call on my A/C unit. The Appliance repair company they sent came out and the first thing he said was he needed to see the outside unit and the upstairs unit. He went to the outside unit first and replaced the fan. Never went to the upstairs unit. Turned on the A/C and it blew cold air. He then left.
About 4 hours later water started coming through my upstairs ceiling. I called them back. He showed up a couple of days later. The repairman said the A/C inside drain pan had a hole in it causing it to leak water on the ceiling. He also, said that he had to take the unit apart to find the hole in the pan. He showed us pictures of the inside drain pan with a hole and said it was our drain pan. My niece's husband has a A/C company and I asked him to check it out. He said the upstairs unit had never been opened. The original seal was intact. The repairman that Landmark sent out showed us pictures of someone else's A/C unit and just lied to us. It cost us $1,000 dollars to have our ceiling and wall repaired. Landmark did nothing about this. If the repairman had checked the upstairs unit he would have found that the coils had frozen.
When they thawed there was a rush of water and overflowed the drain pan. Stay away from Landmark Warranty Company. They do nothing but send out incompetent people to work on your equipment. Apparently Landmark does not stand behind the people they hire to do work for them. After 4 or 5 service calls it looks like Landmark Warranty would put their thinking caps on and see there is a problem!
Updated on 01/05/2018: As far as your reply on Jan 2, 2018... The ice maker assembly you did replace but the ice still would not come out. The container that holds the ice and the rotating mechanism that makes the ice come out was also broken which you would not replace. I paid around $400 to purchase the container that I had to order. So actually you did not repair it to working condition. You did half a job. September when you sent a repairman you said the repairman replaced the water line. The water line has never been replaced on our refrigerator. They replaced a temp. sensor. November when you sent a repairman you said the temp. sensor was burned out.
The burnt out sensor was the same temp sensor that you had just replaced! As far as my A/C unit. The Unit has never been opened. So the repairman could not have see the coils and he could not have see a hole in the inside pan. THE UNIT WAS NEVER OPENED UP. It still had (and still does have) the original seals that were unbroken. There is no hole in the coils or pan! They could not have taken any photos of the inside unit because it was never opened (original seals still intact). We were showed photos of someone else's unit. Your repairmen are telling you they do things that they do not do! You say the same thing on just about every review. You should check into some of these reviews and quit saying the same thing. You might just learn something!
Beverly,
on 8/25 I show the issue was the ice maker assembly, to date I show that the ice maker is still making ice, though we have a problem with the water dispenser in your fridge. In February of 2017 we replaced the water filter housing as it was clogged. No further repairs were needed until September, where your water line going to the fridge was found to be worn out and replaced. Again no further repairs were needed until November where the temperature sensor shorted out and was replaced. Most recently you called in after the 30 day recall period to advise that your water dispenser is not working. I understand that this has been frustrating for you. To remain equitable to all homeowners we must follow the terms of the warranty, which state that we guarantee the work for 30 days.
In regards to your HVAC system, the diagnosis we received from the licensed professional at first was for the fan. After you called back and the contractor returned, we were advised that the plenum coil was leaking and that your drain pan was cracked, which is why you would have seen the water dripping in your home. I understand that there is a difference in professional opinions between contractors. We apologize for this, however Landmark only works with licensed and bonded contractors for your safety.
I sincerely apologize that you are not satisfied with the coverage terms and the service that has been provided. We honestly do our best to assist within the warranty terms. Should you need anything further, or have specific feedback, I would be happy to present that to the appropriate parties.

My lender suggested Landmark for our home warranty when we bought the home and I went with it. I called Landmark when I submitted a claim and they set me up with a company and made the appointment for them to come out. One time, it was really good, and one time, the person they suggested was really bad. The interaction with the claims rep was fine and everybody was good on that end.
We’ve had a leak in my shower and it caused wetting throughout my house. Initially, they sent out the plumber and the plumber didn’t even do any test in the shower. He just looked at it and said that there were tiny holes in the grout and that was what was causing the water damage that was all throughout the surrounding areas of the shower which was in my guest room, closet, and the walls that were on the other side of the shower. He just said, “Oh, sorry, the warranty doesn’t fix that. It needs to go towards your insurance because it’s going to be water damage. It’s not actually something with the shower.” So, I had another claim with my insurance and it ended up that there was a leak in the shower so it was for the plumbing and it cost more.
I’ve also had people working in here for over a month now, cleaning everything up and building a new shower. I called Landmark back and told them that the plumber didn’t do his job and I requested a refund for the $70 service charge. They refunded it and said, “Okay.” I could have probably done a lot more than request the refund for damages in my house.
Then, from the water damage, there were little bugs underneath the carpet that were coming from the water. Landmark sent out a pest control person and he was really good. He was able to tell me what they were from and that it wasn’t a big deal. He sprayed for it and then the problem was resolved after that. The follow-up was a couple of days for both of the services. Landmark is a company that wants to deal with big problems. If you have something that is a little an issue, then it wouldn’t be a big deal so hopefully, your house is in good condition if you use them.

Submitting claims is easy and we've made a few, including the service for our washing machine, a leak in our kitchen and a leak in our bathroom. I appreciate Landmark's quick responsiveness and willingness to assist us especially with this new house, which has not been new as far as some of the appliances and other things. However, getting people out has been a little harder because they will contract only in some cases with one or two different people, so the wait time is long. The bathroom job ended up being two weeks and it was difficult because they didn't contract with more people. We ended up going out of network, which they okayed, and then they reimbursed the company.
I heard about Landmark from my real estate agent and we really like it so far. Everything has been done well considering we've had three claims with them already this year and we've been very grateful to always have them.

They always send somebody out right away, and almost everything we’ve had them come to repair is covered by the insurance. In the time that we’ve had the warranty in place on our two properties, we’ve likely submitted 25 to 30 claims. Only one claim has been denied (damage caused by a tenant). We have found Landmark to be extremely professional. You may have to follow up with the contractor, but usually after you follow it they come out right away.

Don't expect them to pay for anything, because if you read their small print it basically exempts them from paying for anything... ever. Our A/C started leaking, we turned it off IN THE SUMMER IN TEXAS and called Landmark. We told them we needed emergency services because the ceiling was leaking and we were concerned it would cave in. They said they only had 2 contractors and neither were answering the phone, so with a baby and 2 kids we had no central air and guess what happened, yep, the ceiling caved in. Landmark refused to pay for the ceiling, and even though it was officially an emergency no one came out to fix a damn thing. Ohhh AND they had the nerve to request a credit card from me to pay the contractor the service visit if and when they decided to come out.

We renewed our warranty after we purchased our home. Best decision we made. Landmark is there to help out. Our water heater went out last year and same day it was replaced. Now our furnace is in need of repairs, and they were helpful in getting someone to take a look at it quickly. Most definitely I will recommend Landmark to family and friends.

My realtor introduced Landmark to me and my son works for them too. The warranty came when we were trying to sell the property three years ago. The rates have stayed fairly low with modest increases and when I needed it, I’ve had good service. When I submit a claim I want to talk to a person and, normally, I get straight through within a reasonable time. My most recent claim was on a leaky pipe on my hot water heater. They sent the guy out, and he assessed it and corrected it on the spot. So, it was done on the same visit, and that was fine, but the roof took time. Usually, when I submit a claim, I would be speaking to somebody that same day or the next day, and then I get the number. If I don’t hear from the contractor that day, I’ll call them the next day myself.

I was with American Home Shield but they did some dirty stuff and they didn’t cover me. I then googled a new provider and got Landmark because they were well rated and had good reviews. I've already submitted a lot of claims with them and they have been very good. I do it over the phone, which takes no time at all, and I get to speak to a human who seems very nice during the process. I like that over AHS' online submissions. Also, my experience with Landmark largely contrasts with what I experience with AHS. I had some plumbing issues and the company they sent was fantastic. They called me quickly, got on the issue fast and got out of here really quickly. They were very helpful. Landmark has been good. I've told people about them and I would definitely recommend them.
However, right before Thanksgiving, my refrigerator broke. I had everything on dry ice, but Landmark took so long to get the company out that I lost everything. Then when the company came, they did a bad job and the unit broke down again. I wasn’t happy with that. Landmark then got me a different company who came quickly, but not fast enough to save the food I bought again. They also didn’t have parts and so they had to order parts which took time and the process took a total of one week. The whole thing then took three weeks. It would have been great if they get parts more quickly and efficiently but the company that they sent was good and the repairman knew his stuff and knew what has happened. We had to go and buy a small mini fridge so that my son could have some kind of food. After the service, repairman then told me that the unit is now in good shape and that it should last for a long time.
Corinna,
Your feedback is valuable to Landmark. I am sorry to hear about your fridge, though I am glad that it should be up and running for a long time to come.

I’ve been with Landmark for about two months now. I’ve had two claims and one of them was an absolute nightmare. Landmark contacted me and they said I should contact this security company. I told them that I would be careful referring people to this alarm company because I Googled it and I looked at some of their responses, and they don’t have good remarks. This security company is not a really good company.
When I talked to that company, I told them that I haven’t even moved in yet and there were some things I need to fix, and I can meet them on this day, at this time. The next day, they called me and said they were at my house and were supposed to set up the security system. He started to set it up, and it wasn't even anything that I ordered. I talked to the guy on the phone for about 45 minutes and I said that I’d like two cameras and we went through everything.
But they missed a bunch of stuff and if that was all I was going to get, then I didn’t want it because I wanted keyless entry. Their rep listened to the call and said she’ll send him out there. Still no camera but I could do without it. In the meantime, this security company’s customer service texted me all day long. I drive for a living so I could not text them right back. If I didn’t respond to their text right away, they would call me and call me until I could answer the phone. And if I didn’t answer the phone, if I was in with a client, they would email me. I would get so many calls, emails, and texts, and it made me crazy.
After about a week of that, I contacted Landmark. The guy who answered the phone just said, “Well, sometimes that happens. You can’t please everybody. There’s nothing really that we can do. We just refer you to them. Do you have anything else?” I called them in good faith, saying, “Hey, you may want to look into this a little because that’s harassment. And you’re going to have a lot of people blaming you because you’re the one who transfers us to them without even asking us.” At that point, I have decided that I’m not going to use them anymore. I feel like I was totally screwed over. But it was one person that was awful to deal with and the rest of the people at Landmark were really nice. Also, they did well with my garage door after it fell off. The people who did it were amazing.

For years, in all the houses, I've always used American Home Shield. Carol, my realtor, said that she’d like to use Landmark on this rental property that we bought. I haven’t known Landmark yet but she said that she’s used them for years. They’re somebody that she recommends. She’s not only a terrific realtor, she’s also a personal friend of ours. So, we tried them. We bought the house in July of last year. So, we’ve used Landmark and renewed it. We’ve been very impressed with them.
I have American Home Shield on my personal residence and it’s coming up to renew in December and I’m going to go to Landmark to see if I could get a price to have them take care of my house. That’s how happy I am. Landmark charges me $60 for a claim and American Home Shield is $75. Time and time again, I had to wait on hold with American Home Shield between 45 minutes and two hours to have them answer to get an appointment. With Landmark, I haven’t spent on hold for more than 10 minutes and they always follow up multiple times. I have called American Shield and they said that these people can't meet my schedule and they can’t do anything it. This year I’ve had that three times with American Home Shield and I’m tired of it.
All the claims that we’ve had with Landmark have been the maintenance ones. We had a drain that was plugged up and the people who showed up were professional and always on time. I would recommend any of them to anybody. They seem to always go above and beyond. I called Landmark once and there was a holiday that was coming up on a Monday and I had this guy who was just really overly booked. He told me he’d be out on a certain date and didn’t come out. Then, I got a call from him saying that he’s coming out and he asked if I had a ladder that he can use. I understand things happen and people get overbooked but when somebody asks me to provide them with equipment to do their job, I start to question them. So, I called Landmark and told them about it and they provided me somebody else immediately. I was happy with that. They took care of it for me.
The technicians that Landmark has sent are usually very professional. We just had one for our furnace and Red Dog was the name of the company. The guy that was there had his daughter. She was about 22 and she was there helping him. That was pretty cool. His daughter was as knowledgeable about it as he was. He was teaching her. They did a good job. Landmark also has a hell of a deal where they have a pre-season tune-up on furnaces. Landmark exceeds everything I ask for. I highly recommend them.

The Landmark warranty was included when we bought the home and we chose to stay with them in case of breakdowns of major appliances like the air-conditioning. Their website is easy to navigate and I usually submit a claim online. The process was not difficult at all and for the most part, we’ve had good success. My interaction with the reps was informational, like setting up dates and times, and it’s fairly quick for somebody to get back to me.

My agent, whom I used to purchase my home got a quote from Landmark Home Warranty. She then told me that it's good so I just picked it up. Submitting a claim is easy. However, it doesn't make sense that someone calls again to verify my authenticity and they're doing it to assign the claim to a contractor. And while they ask valid questions, this can be avoided or shortened by creating options on their website to capture those details. If they had an option where I can give information while raising my claim, then it saves a lot of time for both sides.
The claims representatives are okay. A couple of times, it really took a very long time to get a contract signed. But most of the time, I get an email once I hang up the phone telling me that a contractor has been assigned, and then the process starts. As for the technicians, they generally call us. Some other times, they will ask me what the issue is, and some other times they don't. They just come over and then they understand the problem and resolve it.
So far, from what I see from the service providers who come to do the work, the coverage which Landmark provides is better than most other insurance companies. However, the prices seem to be going up every year. It has gone up to almost 30% from what I was paying when I bought my house in 2015. If the price goes up again, then I would definitely just switch to another service provider. Other than that, everything is good and I would still recommend Landmark to my friends.

I submitted a claim and the technicians were helpful at first. However, they awfully gave me different information. One told me this had been an issue for months and there's no way the previous owner didn't know, which I have in an email, and so I was trying to get information to get the previous owner to pay. When I went to talk to them again, they were like, "Well, no, it could've happened overnight.” We have no way of knowing. They wouldn't confirm that. I had gotten an attorney and everything.
Everyone I spoke with at Landmark was very helpful though. They attempted to help and get me information. However, I always had to talk to a different person every time I call. I had to speak to 15 different people and re-explain it over and over again over the course of trying to get it done. So it took a really long time. Then they misquoted my claim, my estimate on how much it was going to be. It ended up being $200 more, and I was still expected to cover that. They didn't even cover to check for a leak. And I couldn't move in until my issue with the AC contractor was taken care of. Things have been a mess for about a month, and really frustrating. But it’s taken care of now.

I've had Landmark Home Warranty for a couple of years. I had no real claims the first year so very little claims experience. Now I had a hot water heater fail and I'm learning a lot about how they DON'T cover in this case. They sent their preferred plumber and charged me $70.00 to tell me my hot water heater was leaking and needs to be replaced. Duh! They gave me an estimate which includes an additional charge of $1225 for a total replacement cost, including service call of $1295.00. Landmark Home Warranty said they would not cover any code required upgrades because "those parts did not fail." Therefore, my out of pocket for the repair of the "covered hot water heater" is $695.00. The cost of the warranty is a little more than $600.00 a year for a total of $1295 for the year with my out of pocket repair cost. Mathematically, the value of the Landmark Home Warranty right now is ZERO! You do the math! I will not renew.

I have looked through your contract and most recent service request to best determine if I could be of assistance. I see that you elected to have the unit replaced, though we did offer you a cash in lieu option. You could have selected to cash in lieu option and found a different plumber with maybe less costs for their modifications, however you did not choose that option. In these types of circumstances, I must remind you that the contractors are independent of Landmark and the pricing that the contractor gives cannot be controlled by us, but someones can be negotiated with the contractor.

We purchased our existing home just over 2 years ago. The home warranty was part of the home purchase. We have renewed the warranty each of the past two years. We recently had a problem with our Microwave. The unit begin emitting sparks inside of the oven when attempting to pop a bag of microwave popcorn. We immediately turned off the oven and ceased operation. We called your firm to set up a service call. After a day we got a call from the service company and the appointment was set for between 1-4 PM CDT. On the day of the appointment, we got a call at 4:10 PM CDT stating that their technician could not make it and they no-showed us after the back end of their appointment window had come and gone. (Not professional in any way!)
A second appointment was set and upon arrival, the technician looked at the microwave for less than 5 minutes. He did not remove the oven from the built-in cabinet or remove any parts or components. He only opened the door to the unit. After which he told my wife that he was going to recommend to the home warranty company that the unit be replaced because there was a couple of exposed metal areas in the internal cooking chamber. The service call which we paid for was not even close to being thorough. We have to pay for the service call but no parts or components are removed to truly learn the cause of the issue. It is important to note that the unit DID NOT have the claimed exposed internal metal spots before the original incident when the sparks happened, when attempting to cook the popcorn.
Today we received a communication from the warranty company that stated that they do not cover the internal portion of the microwave oven. We believe that the magnetron on the microwave has malfunctioned and created the exposed metal spots and burned off the coating due to arcing. The warranty company is claiming that they do not cover the inside of the microwave housing. What doesn't add up is that the technician that was sent to our home stated to us that he was going to recommend replacement of the unit to be covered by the warranty. Then Landmark denies the claim stating that metal is exposed. The stories do not add up. What good is a warranty if it excludes the parts and components that will most likely go bad on an appliance? READ EVERY WORD OF YOUR WARRANTY BEFORE PURCHASING AS THERE ARE EXCLUSIONS EVERYWHERE.

Thank you for allowing Landmark to review your claim. I see that you are frustrated with the denial of your built in microwave.
The way that Landmark works, is that we receive an unbiased diagnosis with exactly what is happening with the unit, by a licensed and bonded independent contractor. We then compare the diagnosis with the contract terms to determine coverage. Where the diagnosis was that "the microwave has exposed metal in the interior lining, needs new microwave," we compared that to your warranty terms.
The first term we look at is the built in microwave coverage. The exclusions are: Lights or light sockets; racks; rollers; runner guards; shelves; interior linings; timers and clocks (that do not affect the heating or cleaning operation of the unit); knobs; portable or counter top microwaves.
As you can see interior linings are specifically an exclusion.
The other part of our contract that prevents us from covering your microwave is Section D. This contract does not cover: number 6. Consequential or secondary damage, including consequential damages due to a service contractor's conventional repair efforts of the primary item.
It is unfortunate that we will not be able to cover for this. I understand that it is frustrating. We are happy to assist in any way that the contract permits. We must remain within the warranty terms so as to be equitable to all homeowners.
Thank you,Candace Parke

Submitting a claim at Landmark has been easy. The only issue is sometimes, I've had trouble getting a hold of the providers on one or two occasions. I had to go to a different provider but that wasn’t too bad. Also, the technicians know what they were doing and they’ve done a good job. Landmark has been really responsive overall.
Matthew,

Extremely dissatisfied with multiple issues and service calls with our new home and Landmark Home Warranty. Vendors that Landmark works with don't do their job correctly. Would not recommend to anyone. One vendor wanted 400 to cover a part for a refrigerator and come to find out the reason for the issue was ice build up. We would have been charged an additional 60 fee. They say they want your feedback - but they really don't.
David and Holly,
I am sorry that your service request did not go as expected. The contractors Landmark utilizes are licensed and bonded, which allow for Landmark to feel secure that our homeowners will be taken care of. If that is not the case, I apologize. Additionally I see the issue with your fridge was not something that was covered by the warranty. Unfortunately, when this happens we do not have control over the independent contractor's pricing.
Thank you for this feedback. It will be utilized to improve service for all homeowners.

I have had Landmark for a year and a half. I paid for coverage again this year mostly for protection by having a boiler unit in my house. I have called several times and they covered service calls and basic plumbing. Most of the time things weren't covered and I wasted the 60 service call fee. The only thing that was covered for my yearly fee and all those 60 declines was the water heater and I had to still pay more than they did to bring it up to code. I called with a boiler problem and found out that they randomly dropped the boiler after I paid my yearly fee for this year and didn't tell me. I had to pay over 500 to get my system up and running this fall. I had to buy a new washer even though it was flooding my basement and I paid extra for the appliance coverage.
LeNae,
I am sorry you were not satisfied with the service that has been provided. I've looked through your contract and your claims. I see that on three claims Landmark was able to assist, and one claim that had no failure found. I know it is always frustrating to have something not covered by your home warranty. When your coverage was renewed it automatically went to our new contract. The previous contract that you had last year is no longer valid. None of our contracts cover for the boiler system. I am sorry about this.
Please let me know if there is something additional I can assist with.

Landmark seems to be doing the best performance in our area. We have closed 100 properties, and most of them we partnered with Landmark. It’s easy to submit a claim during the day but a lot of times there’s a long wait on the phone, especially in the evening when their staff seems to be harder to deal with. There are a lot of young people starting and they don’t know exactly what to do. I know they have to train, but it ties us up a little bit. We have multiple claims and when we fill out the form, Landmark keeps sending the email to the owners and not back to me. The owners are forwarding me that information and it’s burdensome because they have somewhere to go and places to be, and I have to call them and tell them what’s going on.
The techs we get are really good but the biggest problem we've had is that some of them would get too busy or back out of doing work. Our air conditioning experts, for instance, work day and night in Arizona during the summer and that’s our hardest time. But of all the companies that we deal with, Landmark is our number one choice in our office. When they would assign a plumber that I’ve had experience with and I know his background and I have a problem with him, I’d call Landmark and say, “I don’t want that guy. Send me somebody else.” They either take him off the list or they don’t send him to me because he’s going to be a problem.
Tom,

We have had multiple problems with our AC unit over the past 2 years and every work order ends up being a battle to get the repair done. Could not possibly type every detail of our last issue but in a nutshell the most recent problem left us without AC for about 4 out of a 6 week period, in Texas when we were in the high '90s and triple digits, and first tried to tell me that it's normal for Freon to leak out of systems and it not be due to a leak - wrong. Told me I needed a r410a Freon conversion kit that was not need as my unit was already r410a. Next they said I was required to replace all the copper piping in my home for an ungodly amount of money that was not needed according to the leak check they made me run - ended up not having to after I pointed that out to them.
Could not get a hold of their vendor for multiple days. Made tons of excuses for why no one seemed to ever be on the same page EVER. When they finally did approve the replacement of the outdoor unit (after making us jump through a 100 hoops) didn't order the unit like they told me they did on the phone that ended up causing us to be another week without AC. After install they said they had installed a friction pad under the unit instead of securing it to the pad. They had not and it took another week to get that installed. I easily spend 80-100 hours on the phone for this one issue. After the install and some other problems they told me that if their contractor had installed it incorrectly that they would not cover it due to a clause in the contract - yes THEIR VENDOR!!! Do yourself a favor and just go with anyone else.
Ashley,
I see that you are frustrated with your HVAC claim, though I am glad the unit has been replaced. It appears that there was miscommunication among all of us, LHW, the contractor and yourself.

I will be reporting this company to the Better Business Bureau. Absolute worst company I have ever dealt with, poor customer service, and so unprofessional. Called two weeks ago about our tankless water heater going out, two weeks later and the problem is still not resolved. They sent a plumber out that didn't even know we had a tankless water heater and he told me he had no knowledge of how to fix them. He said we would probably just need to replace the whole thing.
When following up with Landmark, after a few days, since they have the worst communication, they said they are waiting for the part that needs to be replaced from the plumber, obviously the plumber isn't going to know that since he didn't even open it up, because he didn't know how to. A week went by and they are now sending out the same plumber in a few days.
Called last night because we now have dirt coming out of our faucets, according to Landmark that is not an emergency because we still have water. Even though I'm pregnant and that is extremely harmful. They said we would still have to wait for our scheduled plumber in the next few days. When asking to talk to a supervisor, their staff always replies, "Sure, but they will say the same thing to you." Can't even begin with how unprofessional these people are. So here we are going on three weeks and still no hot water. This company is a complete fraud that steals your money, and does not help with anything.

Here is a timeline of events with SWAT Plumbing. 9/1/2017 Called in and reported to Landmark Home Warranty that my water heater was overheating. Paid $70.00 for SWAT Plumbing to make a service call to my home. 9/5/2017 Chris with SWAT Plumbing inspects my water heater and recommends installing a new 40 gallon water heater. 9/12/17 thru 9/26/2017 Every day SWAT Plumbing calls me late in the evening (usually around 7pm to 8pm) saying they will be out between 11am to 3 pm. I tell them I am the owner of a Architectural firm in Dallas, Texas and that I can only meet between 8 to 11 am. After nearly 2 weeks they accommodate me and Journeyman plumber Johnathan and his helper Eli arrive at 10:30 am.
1st thing after arriving Johnathan says that Chris the original plumber who inspected my water heater messed up and that he and Eli needed an additional $350.00 for a item and task that they could not identify that was not originally on the SWAT's description of worksheet. Johnathan went on to say if I did not agree to the additional monies that they were just going to drive off and he suggested that I call his office to reschedule the installation of the new water heater. I then told Johnathan that I would accept the add if it was $100.00. That you should have told me before you came out that you were going to hit me up with an add and Johnathan said... "OK I'll do it for $250.00." I agreed under protest.
Please note when it came up to pay the additional add of $250.00, it was not demanded by Johnathan at SWAT Plumbing. So I am still not sure why Johnathan was trying to get an add $350.00 on the installation of the water heater. MONICA... WILL YOU PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS... This should have never happened. If there was an add to the job, the office staff at SWAT Plumbing should have called me and you to tell us about a add before they came out. You never have a Journeyman Plumber come out on a job site demanding money like Johnathan did. He either does not know office procedure or he was trying to get some money so he could Line his own pocket. This is highly Irregular on any job site in the 45 years I have been practicing Architecture and is a sign of crooked business practices.
Johnathan and Eli start to unload the water heater, do some measurements and tell me that Chris messed up and ordered the wrong water heater. That the new water heater was a larger diameter than what was there originally and would not fit in the space provided. I asked him why did you not give me and/or Landmark Home Warranty a cut sheet, that would have shown the dimensions of the water heater and he said that they could come out another time with another water heater. I told them I would remove the obstruction and with the help of the helper Eli we removed the obstruction and made a space for Johnathan to install the water heater.
Johnathan installs the water heater and drills one hole for the pan to drain to the exterior. Please note this water heater that was replaced was over 22 years old. Back when it was installed the plumbing code stated that a drain pan was not required. Since then plumbing code has changed and it is now required that a drain must be installed to the exterior with a downward pipe emptying onto the ground outside. I ask Johnathan how far off the ground should this pipe be located and he says one inch off the Ground.
Please note that when the Dallas Plumbing Inspector came out to do his inspection, he red tagged Johnathan's work and said it is International code that requires the pipe from the drain pan to be between 6 to 24 inches above the ground. This is not a local code but International code that is used around the world. Any Plumber should know international code before he goes out on any job. But SWAT Plumbing did not send a Plumber, they sent a Journeyman Plumber.
In Addition the Plumbing Inspector says. Where is the T&P (Temperature and Pressure) pipe that should be penetrating the wall? We investigate the T&P Pipe and find out that Johnathan had the pipe going through the inside gypsum board, but not penetrating the exterior siding and emptying water inside of the wall cavity. The Plumbing Inspector laughs and shakes his head and writes up the 2 items and red tags the installation.
10/2/2017 Fail Plumbing Inspection with City of Dallas Plumbing Inspector Micheal **. Michael says that he will write them an email in 30 minutes about the failed Test. 10/4/2017 I call SWAT Plumbing and speak with Kim in scheduling and she says that they will have scheduled the appointment to come out the next day between 8 to 11am. 10/5/2017 I call Kim in Scheduling at 11:15am to find out where they are and Kim says "It was scheduled to come out on the 5th but a technician was not assigned to your job and we are very sorry, but we can come out tomorrow." I say ok and Kim schedules Johnathan and Eli to come out between 8 to 11 am.
10/6/2017 Johnathan calls at 10:30 am and says they are at the office/shop in Benbrook Texas (That is 57 miles away from my house in far southwest Fort Worth and I am in East Dallas) and it will take them an hour to get here. Johnathan and Eli arrive at 11:45 am. I show them the pipe that has to be cut to 6 to 24 inches off the ground and Eli cuts the pipe to international code. Johnathan then investigates the T&P Pipe that he should have double checked when he did the original installation and said he thought that the pipe went outside. I asked him why did you not check it during the original installation and he said that he thought the pipe went outside. I asked him why did he not inspect his own work and he said that he thought the pipe went outside. Johnathan then says that he does not have a drill to drill through the wall, that tools were stolen out of his truck last week and he asked if I had a drill.
I lent him my drill but for some reason Johnathan could not get it to work. He said that he had to go to buy a new drill and was gone for nearly an hour. Johnathan and Eli arrive back with a new drill but the drills battery has to charge for a half hour before they can get it to work. As soon as the battery is charged up then Johnathan tries to drill the hole and is having the same difficulty in drilling the hole and has to recharge that battery again. It then dawns on him to reverse the drills direction and he was able to drill through the wall. What happened was Johnathan had the drill in reverse and not going forward into the wall. As soon as he had the drill in the forward direction he was able to penetrate the wall and installed the T&P Pipe outside the exterior wall.
Johathan then says to me that he will call in the plumbing inspection for Tuesday 10/10/2017 since Monday is Columbus day a National Holiday. So I carve out another day to be here for the Dallas Plumbing Inspector. 10/10/2017 I call City of Dallas Plumbing Inspector Micheal **. Michael says that SWAT Plumbing never called in for Inspection and that they need to call in for inspection with the correct permit number to reschedule inspection. So I wasted another half day on SWAT Plumbing to follow through with what they say they will do. I call Swat Plumbing and get Kim and Scheduling and she says she does not call in inspections that I need to speak with Kim the office manager. Kim takes down my number and says the office manager Kim is not in yet, but she will return my call.
I waited for an hour and 15 minutes and I called Back to speak with Kim and she says that she is very sorry that the inspection was not called in that she will call it in. I asked her what was her procedures to call in for inspection and she said that that was none of my business, that they had procedures in SWAT Plumbing but my inspection was not called in. I asked her again who suppose to call in for inspection? Was it Johnathan's responsibility and she said it was none of my business. I then asked her why did she have the office/shop in Fort Worth do this Job and did they have a office/shop in Dallas and she said, "Sir we serve over 80 cities and towns." I asked her why did Johnathan show up to the appointment without the proper tools to do the job and she said that his tools were stolen out of his truck last week and that he had to buy the tools as he needed them.
I said I feel like I am dealing with the Keystone Cops and she said that that was an insult and I asked her again if she has a Dallas office/shop and she said that she was ending this conversation and hung up on me. Monica... As we spoke on 10/5/2017 about Landmark assigning work crews to investigate and do the repair work. Please hire someone local. Having a Company that is 57 miles away to service is a client in an urban area with traffic is way too far away. SWAT Plumbing could not do this job properly and instead of having a certified plumber do the job, they sent a Journeyman plumber without the proper tools and knowledge of the basics of the International Plumbing Code to do the job.
Adding up my time that I have wasted in dealing with SWAT Plumbing is 26.5 hours at $150.00 a hour equals $3,975.00. How can I be compensated for the mess ups of SWAT Plumbing. The Ordeal is still not over. I still have to spend a half day waiting for City of Dallas Plumbing Inspector Micheal ** to come out to see if SWAT Plumbing did the job properly. Thanks for your help.

I am very very unhappy with Landmark. As soon as I can I am switching warranty companies or not dealing with any warranty companies at all after dealing with them. The repairman came out and informed me that there was a part that was going out on my refrigerator that's why it was running hot. It took three days for Landmark to get the repairman out to my house to inform me that they were not going to fix or repair its part until it goes completely out. It took 3 days before they even sent anyone to my house so when that part does go completely out are they going to also replace all the food that will go bad. So now we have to keep the refrigerator turned all the way up in order to keep the food cold so now we have food that becomes frozen at the very top of the refrigerator and food that stays somewhat cold towards the bottom of the refrigerator.
I sent several emails in regards to the situation and no one bothered to even return my emails. They could care less about the spoilage of my food. But they took my money. The next big issue I have with Landmark is I have made between three and four reports on my dishwasher, I paid $70 every time they came out. Two different times I was told to clean it. For $70 the company should have cleaned it. I could have cleaned up myself without having to drop $70 but I didn't know that it needed to be clean because it was spitting out black stuff and soap granules all over my dishes. I continue to have problems with the dishwasher then finally the dishwasher leaked all over my kitchen floor. It cost over $7,000 in damages.
Now my kitchen is destroyed. It has to be pretty much torn out and rebuilt from all the water damage. Landmark still refuses to replace the dishwasher. They want me to pay another $70 for repairman to come out and fix it. My insurance company is refusing to allow me to keep it because of all the damage Landmark is refusing to do anything unless I pay another $70. So on top of pan a monthly service fee for this warranty company and pan $70 at least four different times for this dishwasher I have to replace it out of pocket.
I have an asthmatic child and a 17 month old in my house with holes drilled all through my cabinets to get rid of water for 4 days but yet this company still wants to come and repair it when they did nothing for me. The first time I started complaining about this dishwasher I was told to clean it. They will be reported to the Better Business Bureau. And I still have not had any phone calls from a supervisor or anything after my case has been reviewed and reviewed and reviewed several times. They should be embarrassed and ashamed.

Our Realtor gave us two companies to choose from and we chose Landmark. She had heard good things about Landmark and some of her clients have used them. Submitting a claim was fine but we were unaware of the coverage, so I was taken by surprise when we had to pay additional money for what we thought was covered. Initially, when I set up the claim, it wasn’t explained that they only covered X amount of Freon in the air conditioner. We had to pay for 2.8 pounds above what they covered. It was fine, though, and now, we’re more cognizant of it.
Also, when I called up to open the claim, the young man said they needed our inspection report. And he made it sound like if I don’t send it in, then we're not going to be covered. And I recently found out that I don’t have to provide that to Landmark. On top of that, it was kind of a moot point because we don’t have that report. And I’m concerned that if something goes wrong in the future, they’re going to argue with me. But things have been repaired.
Ruth,
Landmark utilizes your home inspection to protect you. Should a contractor come to Landmark and advise that an issue that your are experiencing is pre-existing, Landmark would utilize your home inspection to protect you. For that reason we do ask for it, though you are correct it is not required. We always attempt to place the homeowner in a position to receive coverage for their items.

Landmark Home Warranty was part of the negotiations and it was already in place when we bought our home. We renewed it after the year was up.

I found the service given to me by Landmark less than satisfactory as well as the vendor they sent out to service the air conditioner. In fact, very dissatisfied. When I called to have someone come out to check on the AC, I purchased a pre-season check. Two weeks after the system was pronounced all clear, it froze up at night. I called a private vendor who immediately saw that the drainage pipe was clogged. Two weeks later, I had to replace the entire system because the compressor was dead. I didn't want a partial repair that would get me a couple more years, which is what the vague answers offered by your representative implied I would get, so I had to foot the bill for an entirely new system. The first experience taught me that I could not trust you with the second experience. I can not recommend your warranty service.
Mary,
I apologize that the contractor did not catch that your AC was clogged. While the contractor was there, nothing appeared to be freezing over. There is always an opportunity for a difference of opinions between contractors. While I understand that you were frustrated, I want to assure you that Landmark will always repair over replace, however if the contractors opinion is that it must be replaced, or it is more cost effective for both parties we do look into replacing the unit. While this is not a guarantee that the unit would have been replaced, hopefully it clears some of your questions. Should you have further questions or concerns, please let me know.Thank you,

I purchased a home warranty from Landmark and soon after moving in my hot water heater stopped working. Originally LHW sent out a contractor to repair it which was approved. I still didn't have a hot water when I returned and now LHW contractor is saying the unit needs to be replaced. I then get a call from LHW 4 days after my initial call indicating I need to provide my home inspection to them and then I have to wait until they decide what to do with my claim!
1st I don't like the assumption that I'm providing false information. 2nd this requirement of providing a copy of my home inspection report was never mentioned in my initial call! 3rd this is THEIR contractor which they approved! This has now been 5 days and I still do not have hot water or any response from LHW outside of a bunch of bureaucratic red tape to delay a claim that is obviously covered in THEIR contract! At this point I'm a week into my new home and my warranty and I cannot recommend LHW to anyone given the service issues and constant delays I have received by LHW. The customer service reps were nice and accommodating but are given no power to make any decisions with dissatisfied customers.
Richard,
I see that your service request was opened September 30th. Landmark does not cover for units under manufacturer's warranty, though we will cover for labor. I see that on the 5th we paid the contractor for the labor and the ticket was closed, as that is all we can do. I am sorry you were not satisfied with the service provided.

I'm not sure whether to go after Landmark or the plumber or both; I suspect both, since they point fingers at each other. Bottom line: be sure you understand full timing of your repair; just because a contractor is coming does NOT mean your repair is about to happen. It may be worth your time and money to go elsewhere. So don't accept any delays. If you aren't offered appointments next day, scream loudly. I was much too forgiving and easy going at first and the result would have been 6 days with a leaking water heater and trying to keep water from doing damage in my garage. And on bigger repairs, such as this, it will take at least two visits, most likely at least two days apart. By the time I figured this out, it was too late to do much about it. Had I realized this at the beginning, I could have chosen to accept it or hired someone else, at my expense of course. Buyer beware!

My wife works for a realtor who has has several rental homes and uses Landmark Home Warranty. She recommended the company. I submit claims online and their site is very user-friendly. I don't have any issues with it at all. I had phone conversations with the techs and they had all been pleasant. They kept me updated with what was going on. The only thing we had an issue with was one time, we had an air conditioning problem that dragged on for about three weeks. We had tenants living here at the time and we got shuffled three different times. Then the service wasn't covered on the warranty and they were asking $700. So, we just went back to the company we were using that time and they called somebody out who knew how to fix things for $200 which was a huge discount.

We have been with Landmark for numerous years now. The reason we got a home warranty was for coverage of our air conditioner, though over the years we have used it for other parts of our house. Sometimes it is been hit or miss. We have had them out multiple times to have our AC fixed, but last week the AC was considered not repairable.
Going in, I was realistic and knew that the AC would never be covered at 100%. We have two ACS, one upstairs and one downstairs. This was our upstairs AC. The one that need to replace was are outside unit for the upstairs AC. Our out-of-pocket was $735. What they covered was more than $3,000. I definitely consider it worth having the warranty. The company that came out has been one of the company's before use for repairs and they were extremely professional. I can't complain one bit about this experience! I'm not going to say every experience has been perfect with them, but I am glad I have the warranty and I will continue to keep a warranty with them!

My realtor had purchased a Landmark Home Warranty for me when I bought the house. I’ve been with them for a year but I didn’t renew. My air conditioning had been out almost three times this summer and they fixed some things but it's not been any better. So, I just bought a whole new system and started somewhere else. Another reason I switched was that when I was going to renew, there was a set price. But all of a sudden, if I wanted the refrigerator, washer and dryer, or heater covered, that would be a $10 there. It was cheaper to go somewhere else.
But their reps were always friendly and courteous. It was also easy to file a claim with them — I'd talk to somebody and their reps would give me a number. They’d say, "They'll call you." The bad part was everything went out on Saturday this summer and I couldn’t ever get anybody out until the following week. I lived in Arizona and when my air conditioning went out, there's somebody out there as soon as they could. The techs who came out were always excellent though. They had arrived within that window they gave me and they cleaned up after completing their work.

On August 2 my air conditioner was iced up and not making cold air so I called Landmark, gave them 70 bucks and they sent a guy who was nice and who came promptly and said that I’m low on freon, 7pounds. I wrote him a check for 385 bucks. At the end of August, right before Labor Day, the air conditioner quit working again. Nobody was going to be at the home warranty company because it was Labor Day so I just stuck a window unit in the house and called them after the holidays. I wasn't thinking about the 30-day policy because I was busy. The first day after the holiday I called Landmark and they said that it will be $70. I said no because it's the same unit and the problem didn't get fixed the first time.
Their rep then said that I passed 30 days and that's the rule. It didn't matter what my reasons were and I got to pay again. So I paid 70 bucks but they sent out the same company. The guy that came out also thought that this was ridiculous. I'm now three pounds low on Freon. He found a little leak and I saw him fix that. I bought another $160 worth of Freon. I have paid for Freon twice for the same unit.
I should never have had to pay because the problem didn't get solved the first time. Who knows if it's going to last. I wasn't too happy about that. I'm a real estate agent who sold $5 million worth of property this year and I refer lots of people to home warranty companies so I'm good for business. But how can I refer clients to Landmark if this is not a good experience. I'm waiting for somebody to impress me. If I have a success story I will tell a success story.

After telling Landmark, they refused to change providers so I canceled the request.
The next day I talked to someone at Landmark directly and they said they could help. So, I ordered another service order and was given the same provider, only after emailing them did I get a new provider and again it was another low-quality contractor I worked with. Landmark then informed me that these were the only two contractors that could do the work. While I would save money by using my warranty I knew I wouldn't get quality service from either provider.

I submitted a claim on 8/24/2017 to fix my not cooling AC and paid $70. The contractor Preferred Air of Houston came to my home added 5 lbs of 410A refrigerant and charged me $375 (after Landmark paid $20 per pound) without offering to do a leak detection. A few days later, the AC is not cooling again, I called Landmark and Prepared Air of Houston came again said 3 lbs of refrigerant is missing. The contractor said to continue we need to pay for a Leak Detection and will charge us $250, then said $175.
When asked why they didn't do the leak detection the first time while a leak detection test is cheaper than the refrigerant, the contractor told me that it is Landmark who ask them to always put refrigerant first and no matter what. We asked if we can have the leak detection from another contractor because Preferred Air of Houston is overcharging, just like the ridiculous price for 410A refrigerant. I have an email from Landmark confirming that a leak detection from another contractor will be accepted. After I returned with the detection report. Preferred Air of Houston said they don't accept the report and asked Landmark to find another contractor for us. This happened on 9/13.
Landmark didn't have actions since then, no contractor was assign to fix my AC, and no other options were offered. I have called Landmark many time and they ask me to wait. When I said how to wait longer in this hot summer of Texas, they warned me if I have someone fix the AC myself, I won't get any reimbursement from Landmark.
Now I see Landmark's dirty tricks- First, allow their contractor to rip customers off without fixing anything. Second, not respond to customers even it is in a 30 day guaranteed period. Third, keep not responding and wait for the customers getting too uncomfortable at home because the AC is not cooling and it is super hot that the customers has to fix the AC themselves. Then, Landmark will say, "Oops, you didn't wait for our contractor, so we won't pay for anything..." We are working on a joint lawsuit against Landmark home warranty. They have to pay, of course.
Good morning,
We are working on your service request. Our teams are advocating for you. Unfortunately, the contractors we work with are independent of Landmark, and thus we must respect their policies. When you asked if a different contractor could perform the leak detection test, we asked the contractor. They advised us that they would accept someone else's leak detection. However now, we are at a point where they aren't willing to accept it.
I am very sorry about this experience. We are doing all we can for you.

I called Landmark Home Warranty because the temperature differential was 10 degrees on my AC unit and they sent a service provider from Air Command for a $65 service charge. The service provider came by on Wednesday, then I called Air Command on Friday since they did not call me and tell me the results of the service call. They told me that my 2 ton and 3 ton units were undersized for the 2600 square foot house that was built 7 years ago and recommended that I buy new AC units for 15,000 to 20,000 dollars and have them installed. I then called Landmark and let them know I was going to call another service provider and I asked if I could get my $65 service fee reimbursed if the other service technician found a problem that the original did not find and I was told that I could. So, I called George ** and they told me the freon was low, recharged it and then I got a 20 degree temperature differential and was charged $300 for the service.
Next, I called Landmark to get my $65 service fee reimbursed, when I spoke to Landmark they told me that $65 dollars fee was to have Air command come out and (mis)diagnose the issue and that it was non-refundable. What should have happened, was that I should have gotten the service fee back, Landmark should have contacted Air Command and been reimbursed and Air Command should have spoken to the technician and made sure he was performing basic troubleshooting like checking to see if the freon is low.

After researching what has transpired, including reading the notes, speaking with the agents, and listening to calls, I am willing to refund your service call fee. You should see that back to your account in 3-5 business days.

I went on the net and saw which warranty companies had a better rating than others and that's where I found Landmark. I've had them since 2012 and they've done what they needed to do so I am renewing with them year after year. I usually submit my claims by phone and their rep is very nice. My only complaint would be if I have a vendor that's still in their network and that's a vendor that's come out and looked at the AC or the heating thing or the plumbing and I'm happy with that particular vendor, I'd like for them to come out because they know the system. They've known what they've done.
I don't want to wait and then 24 hours later they finally get somebody at the upper level to cancel the first guy. Then put the second vendor of my choice in there. They would just go down the list and say, "Yeah, they're available." Sometimes they could come out the next day where the other guy can't make it through the end of the week. Speed has something to do with it as well.
Another time on one of my homes the guy put in a new garbage disposal but I don't think he really knew how because it was fine for a little while and then my tenant called me up saying that there was water all over the bottom of the cabinet. It was an oversight on his part and it really shouldn't have been because that's an easy job to do. I wasn't thrilled about that but we did the repairs. Also Landmark prices have gone up compared to when I first started in 2012 and I wish they were a bit lower. But other than that when I call up I usually get somebody and generally their technicians come on time.

Signed up for Landmark Home Warranty and recommended by someone I know. $70 for service call plus $200+ per month to be signed up. My policy covers plumbing leaks, which is Gas and or Water plumbing systems. Called to have someone come take a look (which the warranty company chooses who they want). Technician said that the leak is "outside the foundation".
When I return home - nothing is touched, nothing is marked and I called back to have the report sent to me, they hid the information provided by the plumbing company they used. How am I supposed to trust this company anymore? What is the point of getting this warranty when they just screw you over and say what they want to say? I then talked to two other plumbing companies and said that what the "preferred plumbing contractor" told them was total BS. How could they ACTUALLY know when they didn't even check themselves? Careful of this company - They are absolutely garbage.
Peter,
I understand that this has been frustrating for you. Landmark must stand by the warranty terms in order to be equitable to all homeowners. In this circumstance, it was diagnosed that the gas leaks were under the home, in the ground. According to the warranty terms, section A. Service Overview, number 2. LHW will repair or replace systems and appliances mentioned as covered that: a. Are in proper working order on the efective date of this Contract; b. Have become inoperable due to normal usage after the effecivde date of this Contract and are reported during the term of this Contract; c. Are properly installed and located wihtin the perimeter of the main foundation or detached garage, except those noted with an"*". Unfortunately, plumbing pipe leaks do not have an "*" behind it, and therefore, your claim was denied.

It has been one thing after another. We have been in our home for close to 2 yrs. Our first year we had to file a claim for our hot water heater had it replaced with no issues. Last year our service fee was $60 bucks. When we renewed this yr it went up to $70 bucks so need to find out why. Now we are having issues with our AC unit which cause leak in our ceiling. First contractor restore it, came out stated we needed new unit because current unit was done, quoted $7,500 with an array of issues, however they never submitted to Landmark what was told to us. Issue reported was with filter and apparently the contractor that replaced our hot water heater put a pipe blocking entry way so hard time putting filter in. Apparently he never reported all the things that needed to be fixed or him saying we needed a replacement unit.

Air 2 U came out. Guy stated coils suffered years of poor maintenance and wrote is 95% dirty. He also stated that the unit we have in our home was not efficient for our size home. He reported that it would cost about $350 to get these coils cleaned out. Now mind you we been in home less than 2 yrs. Now we are told no coverage due to poor maintenance. Then we found out the service we had on AC was never documented.
Now this morning our AC unit literally started shaking. Again I called for someone to come out asap. I had to turn system off. We are in Texas with 4 kids and now I have to pay another 70 service fee for someone to come and check our AC. Claims manager told me that Air 2 U is saying since another issue we would need to pay. I requested if there is a no fault coverage since this is years of build up since the AC told us that and my insurance claims guys also told us they should honor that.
After multiple claims opened for plumbing to make sure it's all related to AC and different contractors coming out each with different diagnosis, and multiple service fee... Landmark still have not come to any resolution or tried to fix anything. I was told I inherited these issues when I purchased my home. So now I'm hunting around for another home Warranty that can better services our family. In meantime I will more than likely have to keep paying services fees until our warranty ends in October since we can't be without an ac. I am literally afraid to turn this unit back on.
Erica,
This definitely sounds like a frustrating set of issues. When you renewed your contract, it was on our new contract, rather than the old one. The new contract has a higher service call fee, but allows us to cover much more, generally speaking.
As far as your HVAC unit, the photos provided show a 95% impacted air flow, which is due to lack of maintenance. Unfortunately, with that information there is nothing we can do. The warranty terms state that we do not cover for lack of maintenance and we must stand by those terms.

Landmark Home Warranty was recommended by our real estate broker. Thus far, we have done two claims and it was easy submitting them. One was in regards to the HVAC, the air conditioning unit, and the other one was in regards to a leak we found coming from the bathroom upstairs into the kitchen. Their claims representatives were very helpful and didn't make us feel bad about making a claim. They try to do everything they can to help us be happy. Interacting with them was pleasant and easy. Their technicians came out after hours which was great. They were helpful as well and replaced the capacitors in the air conditioning unit, which fixed our problem. They also recommended doing an air conditioning tune-up. And so, we made a claim to get that done and a different company came to do it.
My wife said the technician who did the tune-up was really helpful and gave her all of the background things that she needed to do. We didn’t have a hose yet, so one of that tune-up items was to clean up the air conditioning unit. He showed her how to do that once we had a hose. We’re so glad that we had the home warranty. I've told my wife that I want to renew next year and keep it because we’ve just found it to be a real great peace of mind.

They sent out Matrix Plumbing here in Hurst, TX to unstop a drain line. The tech shows up, runs what he stated was 25' of handheld auger, hits NOTHING, pulls the line out and states it needs to be hydro-jetted. WOW. Did not hit any blockage, ran supposedly 25' of line, did not try any other drain line to see if there was blockage, and did not scope it. But he said it needs hydro-jetting. I call to complain, am told they are going to send a 'second opinion' out, a 'manager' gets on the phone - Chaz ** - and tells me they in fact CANNOT send a second opinion out because my policy doesn't cover hydro-jetting.
HOLY HELL!!! WHY DOES THE TECH'S OPINION COUNT WHEN I JUST TOLD YOU HE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING! HE RAN INTO ZERO BLOCKAGE!!! I have contacted the local news people, maybe I can get some answers. And don't you all think it's funny Landmark only replies to the POSITIVE reviews? Customer service people. Have you heard of that? Stop scamming people, you all should be ashamed of yourselves.
Jason Ferrell,
I appreciate your feedback. I enjoy assisting homeowners in an attempt to resolve their problems in service with Landmark. Often I can help by either explaining the coverage or moving forward with their claim. At this time, you have the essential plan. The agent who advised that this plan does not cover for hydro jetting is correct. This plan does not cover for this service. I think though, what may be misunderstood is the contractor's diagnosis. The contractor ran 25 feet into the washing machine drain and found no blockage. However, this was a branch line, and 25 feet is all the contractor could run. The communication that appears to be lost here though is that Landmark only covers for one attempt at clearing a drain line. As the contractor tried this with no failure Landmark cannot cover for an additional attempt. I apologize for the frustration. Should you have further questions about coverage, please let me know.
Thank you,Candace Parke

One of three AC units on our home went out and we contacted Landmark to file a claim. The contractor was finally dispatched a week later to come investigate (keep in mind that it was 100 degrees here in Texas). The Contractor told my wife that the whole system would need to be replaced. A week went by and we had not heard from the contractor or Landmark (2 weeks since claim filed) So we contacted the contractor who stated that he had submitted his findings and estimate to Landmark. Landmark blamed the contractor for the delay and said that they were waiting on him to turn in a few more pieces of paperwork. They told us to call the contractor and encourage him to send the paperwork to them faster.
They hired the contractor and sent him out to my home and then they want me to follow up with him to move my claim along??? We called the contractor back anyways and he stated that he had submitted all paperwork one day after his visit to our home. Landmark then admitted that they had received the paperwork as the contractor had described, but were trying to find out what they were going to cover. Apparently this is a week-long process to figure out.
Landmark then told us that they were only going to cover half of the system and that our out of pocket expense would be around $5000.00. I am a home builder, so I called my HVAC contractor that I use on my new homes. I had him give me an estimate to replace the whole system and it was about 3500.00. I called Landmark back to report this to them and they said, "It sounds like the contractor we sent out is price gouging you." Remember that this is the contractor that they sent out.
The whole system should have been replaced under our contract, but Landmark seems to make sure that the out of pocket number is higher than the portion that they would pay. I called the contractor that came out and had him send me his full estimate that he provided to Landmark, His estimate was 5210.00 to replace the complete system. I pointed this out to Landmark and they stated that "I should hire him directly then and let them pay the cash option to me in lieu of them doing the repairs". I asked them how much they would pay out in the cash option and they stated 1340.00. Anybody who knows anything about HVAC knows that the indoor air handler unit and labor cost more than the outdoor unit and labor. This means that I was supposed to pay out of pocket 5k for the outdoor unit to be replaced and they are claiming that they would only pay 1340 for the indoor unit.
By the way, they wouldnt cover my outdoor unit because they cant find parts that are compatible for it, so they were only going to cover my indoor unit, which is already breach of their contract, This company has no intent to take care of the customers, their focus is on reducing claim payouts to keep profit margins up. I wish had my premiums back that I paid out for this coverage. I also purchased their best plan. My local rep here offered to refund my premiums and cancel the warranty, Gee, that's great know that I have a claim. It's like making a bet and then saying never mind, I didn't really want to make that bet, when you lose. The claims process is a sham.

I've been with Landmark Home Warranty for a year now. We had really good experience with the people they've sent over so far. They give me a timeframe and they're usually here within that time. In my most recent claim, the air conditioning guy was amazing. He knew his stuff, was here on time the day he said he would be and he handled everything very courteously, so did the other two we talked to a few times. I'm satisfied with the contractors they send out but their customer service is lacking. I've submitted a few claims so far and the process has been simple, quick and easy and my interactions with their reps have been friendly. However, there was a time that I called and I was on hold for over an hour.
Also, the first time we submitted a claim, it was approved then after a few days they rejected it. They ended up telling us that they made a mistake. It was really irresponsible of them and I didn't like that. It seems that for every time that we submit a claim they always try their best to not cover it somehow. It was very frustrating. I didn't know whether we were going to renew with them or not so I didn't renew automatically or have it done a lot sooner.
Abigail,
I am glad that you have had mostly good experiences it sounds. I understand that it was likely very frustrating to have a claim approved the denied.

I bought a house and requested to have a warranty policy paid for by the seller and so I inherited Landmark with the house. Submitting a claim was not too difficult but getting some kind of coverage for what I needed fixed was very difficult including the fact that it wasn’t even covered. My air conditioner went out so I had to pay the $65 to get a serviceman. When they came over and checked it, they said it had a freon leak but had to test to find out where the leak was. But the warranty did cover doing the test to find out what was actually wrong which made no sense to me at all.
They got the AC fixed but they required me to pay $200 to get the test done. When I was talking to the claims agent, I said, “Well, if I paid $200 to get the test done and to find out what needed to be done, how do I know that you will cover the cost of the repair?” She told me that there was no way to know that until they finally checked what was wrong with it. I asked “Well, can you tell me if it will be covered?” She said, “No. I cannot.” I asked to speak to a supervisor and there was not one available. So he went calling me back a little later and said, “I really shouldn’t tell you this but you probably got a 50/50 chance of having coverage of the repair.” When the repairman came out, I agreed to pay for the test, but they won't have a test and they found the only possible place the freon could leak was from the little caps that cover the actual porch when they put freon into the system. And so, they put new caps on those and then charged me for repair.
My wife just suggested why wouldn't a warranty policy tell me very clearly upfront, what is and what isn’t covered? And I agree, I did not have that information. We were not satisfied at all because we ended up paying $265. It was a very frustrating experience. I have no complaints against the people who handled the question except that they handled it according to company policy which was the frustrating part.

I used Landmark Home Warranty to replace an ice maker that broke in my Viking refrigerator freezer 3 months after purchase of my home. While I do like that there is a claims manager assigned to your case to ensure that you have some proactive contact with the company, at least 2 of the contractors Landmark provided me to call said that they no longer work for Landmark warranties. One actually told me "I was tired of having to chase my money and they never reimbursed me for the full cost of the parts" and the 3rd never called anybody back (Landmark or I). I was told to find my own contractor after I already had an approved replacement ice maker by Landmark but the contractor quit before it could be installed. I was told I could call when he was there, get the estimate & get it repaired, since it has been now broken for MONTHS without resolution.
The contractor came, yet I find myself now having to submit approval AGAIN for the same exact ice maker replacement that I already had Landmark approval to replace in July. It's now mid-September. And it broke at the end of May, and I live in Texas. I need ice, in Texas, in summer. And, I had to pay cash $72 out of pocket for the "reimbursement" contractor to come look at the ice maker, even though we already knew what was wrong (it needs replaced), on top of the $60 I already paid Landmark to cover the service fee.
Months of hassle, much more than anticipated out of pocket expense, and still I am starting all over without resolution. I told it would be a simple phone call to give the price over the phone when I found my contractor and now I have to submit documentation through a generic email and await longer delays for approval. Very poor system and I am totally unimpressed. I would not recommend Landmark to anybody at this point and already called my real estate agent to notify her for potential future clients.

Be careful with Landmark. They are not responsible for their job. I call to open the service to replace garbage disposal and then the contractor (Precision Plumbing Service Inc) came to my house.

But the contractor tell me they took money for Landmark.
If I need to refund I should call Landmark because Landmark took my money not the contractor. But I call Landmark they say they don't refund for me because the money for contractor came out but contractor did not fix anything for me. They don't protect their customers. Finally, I cannot contact Landmark and the contractor again. They don't pick up the phone. I would not recommend this company. They are not in charge with their job. LANDMARK should be CLOSE.

Landmark's warranty price is fair but there's a vast amount of coverage available which I appreciate. Plus I find that their website is easy to work with. The only disconnect that I get is after submitting a claim I'll get an email from Landmark quickly saying that they’ve received it and passed it off. But sometimes the contractors don't contact us within the projected turnaround time. They say within 24 hours and sometimes it’s within 48 instead. Luckily most of the issues that we've had haven't been life or death so it hasn't been too big of a deal.
The techs who came have all been stellar but one. We had an AC guy that came and said that our issue wasn’t going to be covered and that it's going to be $1,000 to replace the condenser. We're like, "We didn't cause this to happen. This is totally something." So Landmark was very good in that instance. We contacted them and said, "Hey, can you get a different company out? Let’s get a requote on this. We don't agree with this tech." That was on the advice of a guy who does insurance claim adjustment so he knows all of these stuff. He was like, "Yeah, you need to just call and ask for a requote." Then the claim was covered.
Landmark has been a good company to work with and I just renewed for the next year. I appreciate greatly the umbrella of not having to worry about the dishwasher or the refrigerator breaking and us being out hundreds of dollars to replace or get it fixed. I know that it's going to be 60 bucks and 70 bucks and I'm done. Overall Landmark is simple and I also feel reassured and secured.

We purchased a home warranty when we closed on our house at the end of May. I submitted a claim for our HVAC system approx 6 weeks later, as we noticed the main trunk line (ducting) in the crawlspace had filled with water and detached from the floor joists above. This was an issue that originally came up during inspection as part of our offer; the issue was remedied by the previous owner and PASSED re-inspection prior to close. The previous owner AND the inspector provided documentation/photos (and we self-inspected) to confirm the issue had been remedied and new ducting had been installed.
6 weeks later, the issue reoccurs. I filed a claim, paid my $60, and the HVAC tech came and again, cleared out the condensation line. However, LANDMARK states I need to file a homeowners insurance claim for the ductwork to be replaced. I paid $89 for an independent diagnosis (from a different HVAC provider NOT associated with LANDMARK), which is: "Failure of the condensation drain line allowed condensation to overflow into the supply plenum and main trunk line. The main trunk line suffered catastrophic water damage and needs to be replaced and strapped in accordance with Idaho state code. Home owner has a home warranty which should cover any damage due to equipment/product failure".
LANDMARK sent their preferred vendor again to estimate the cost of replacing the ductwork. The vendor was standing next to me when spoke with a Landmark claims rep whom, after putting me on hold for 27 minutes, AGREED to cover the cost of replacing the duct work, up to $500. As we're wrapping up the conversation, we were conveniently disconnected, and the claims rep did not bother to call me back. I called again and spoke with a different rep who said she'd make sure the ticket was created and sent to the vendor to schedule the work. Within an hour, I get a call back from the original representative, telling me LANDMARK will NOT cover the damage, as is it "secondary" damage. EXCUSE ME... The damage was caused due to a problem with the HVAC system as a WHOLE.
I should have done my homework before purchasing this policy, as you have almost as many BBB complaints as you do reviews. So far it's cost me almost $500 for the warranty, plus a $60 deductible for the service call, plus $89 for a LEGITIMATE HVAC company to come out and tell me what I already know. STILL THE ISSUE PERSISTS. I'll be filing a complaint with the BBB and the AG. This is a useless product, considering LANDMARK looks for any possible loophole to DENY a claim, INCLUDING goading the preferred vendor into modifying the diagnosis so as to legitimize the DENIAL.
Sandy,

Water Heater Replacement Experience - NOT GOOD. Paid $100 deductible, took a week to get a plumber to show up. Then the plumber said the water heater need to be replaced. They call me later that day to tell me that I am responsible for $900.00 out of pocket. The plumber came up with all kinds of bogus charges to drive up the price, they refuse to send a second plumber.
Copy of exact email they sent me: "Good Morning, Great news! We are going to replace your water heater and the labor to do so. However there are a few modifications that the warranty does not cover for. Below is the breakdown of the out of pocket expenses. Please review them and let us know that you approve and we can move forward with replacing your water heater. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you! Ball valve $75.00, TMP Modification $50.00, Water line Modification $95.00, Second man $130.00, Permit $175.00, Vent modification $375.00. Total out of pocket $900.00 OR You can take the cash out. Replacement $261, Labor $130, Total cash out $391. Please keep in mind due to our negotiated rates with our contractors and vendors out cash outs are not at full retail."
I had a different home warranty company replace a water heater last year and I only paid $125.00 out of pocket WITH NO MODIFICATIONS. The house is less than 10 years old, and the exact same water heater is available. There should be no modifications. Called the city and the permit costs $55.00, not $175.00. They will never pay for labor on anything that requires a second person. My claim was managed by Jessica ** and Nichole **. I would not recommend this company to anyone that has anything other than a minor problem.
With every contract, there are things that the warranty will not cover. The responsibility of the contractor is to provide a list of items that will be necessary and their cost to repair them. From there we then look at the warranty coverage. I see that there were two items that are on this list that in fact should have been covered. I also see in the notes, that that amount was reflected in your cash in lieu, and an increased amount was provided to you. I apologize for the human error that allowed for such frustration. Landmark works diligently to be sure that all out of pocket expenses are checked thoroughly before providing them to the homeowners. Again, I apologize this did not happen in your case.

I would like to start by saying I have had a handful of just bad customer experiences but none so bad that I left a review online, until my experience with a broken air conditioner and subsequent service request with Landmark Home Warranty and Talegen Mechanical Services (the contracted company assigned to the service ticket). At this point I have been without A/C for 8 days. Talegen has been to my residence 3 times and has been unable to repair my issue in any capacity but has acknowledged an issue with the unit. The issue is the unit is overheating and turning off. The technician spoke very frankly on his last visit and said if the issue is determined to be an expensive fix they typically will pick an excuse to get out of it because home warranty companies won’t pay well for the fix and Talegen doesn’t want to lose money.
I called on Friday 9/1 to let Landmark know the issue was not resolved after the 3rd visit. I never received a follow up. So I called this morning 9/5 to request an update and they let me know the ticket was resolved because Talegen said it was a thermostat issue. So to recap, the technician, confirmed the unit had an issue but it could be costly to fix and that that’s typically when things can get shady, then I requested another recall of the ticket and it was closed without a follow up to me because they determined it was a "thermostat issue" which the technician confirmed it was not because the unit was overheating and turning off. I requested another update today from my claim manager and was told it could be 48 hours before I get a callback per Landmark's policy. The forecast for today and tomorrow in Tempe is 107 degrees. Take your time Landmark, no rush.

I have had Landmark Home Warranty for 3 years and have been pretty satisfied up until this past March when I renewed my policy. I had asked for the same coverage, $60 service fee, with addition of roof leak protection/coverage which was a $100. On 9/2/17, we had a garage spring break and so I went to Landmark's website to verify that the garage spring would be covered and I was shocked to see my service fee was now $100!! I thought for sure that this was a mistake. I went back and reviewed all my renewal documents (The contract! The invoice! The certificate all from 3/1/17.) and nowhere does it state that the service fee would be increased to $100!!
So I called Landmark customer service expecting them to admit it was a simple mistake. They told me that I signed up for the higher service fee plan (Uh, no I didn't!!) and that there was nothing they could do! What just happened? I called trying to get a hold of supervisors and the renewal department and got the complete runaround and was told over and over that it was my mistake! I AM CONTACTING MY ATTORNEY AS I FEEL SO DECEIVED. I want my entire renewal fee back. I would have never renewed if I knew I was getting a $100 service fee.

10. If you should request us to perform a non-emergency service request outside of normal business hours, you will be responsible for payment of additional fees, including overtime.
13. In some instances, LHW may offer you the option of finding your own contractor to provide diagnosis and possible subsequent repair. In this instance, your contractor must provide a diagnosis and itemized bid to LHW before any work is performed. LHW will not reimburse you for services performed by your own contractor without prior authorization.
D. THIS CONTRACT DOES NOT COVER
7. Failure to provide timely service due to conditions beyond LHW’s control, including but not limited to, part or equipment delays or labor difficulties.
I know you are frustrated and you feel as though, you did not have any other options. Unfortunately, circumstances don’t change the contract terms. As a person, I wish there was more I could do. I am bound by the contract, and in no way is this something I can change.
I appreciate your time,Candace Parke
