Limited Plan Options

However, American Home Protect does offer various add-on coverage options, and even within its Premier Coverage Plan, there is some flexibility and personalization available.
Low Customer Ratings

American Home Protect is a newcomer in the home warranty industry, but provides comprehensive home warranty coverage through its Premier Coverage Plan and lower-than-average service fees from $36 to $65. The company sets itself apart from other companies with its handyman services, provided through Porch Group.
