  • Warranty Training Seminars — free in-depth training seminars for any staff you may have

Builders Warranty Quote Request

You can quickly and easily get more information and rates about Residential Warranty Company’s warranty programs by submitting a quote request on the company’s website.

To submit a quote request, you will need to provide the following information:

  • Company information (name, address, and phone number)
  • Construction information (average sales price, number of home builds per year, and counties that you build in)
  • Your personal information (name, address, and contact information)

Upon submitting your quote request you will receive personalized information and rates for your build.

Transferable Warranties

A home warranty provided by Residential Home Warranty is transferable, meaning it can be carried on to the next owner if the home is sold. This typically helps a home sell faster on the real estate market and increases its value.

Extended Warranties

Residential Warranty Company offers two types of extended warranties for appliances and systems:

  • Key Estates Certified Warranty — Includes coverage on appliances and systems in resale homes. Structural coverage is also an option. This warranty is offered nationwide. If sellers or buyers are interested in having coverage for a home that is on the market, their Realtor can purchase this warranty for them on their behalf.
  • Platinum Advantage Warranty — Available for coverage on appliances and systems in newly built homes. This warranty is purchased by the builder or manufacturer. This particular warranty is only available in select states.

The Bad

  • Builder Warranties Only

Builder Warranties Only

Many features that average homeowners are looking for in a home warranty company may not be present with Residential Warranty Company because the company caters primarily to builders, remodelers, and manufacturers. 

However, since Residential Warranty Company's warranties are for newly constructed homes, builders, remodelers and manufacturers can purchase the warranty for their homes, then pass that value and peace of mind onto their homebuyers.

The company also has a wide selection of warranties to choose from, including the standard 10-year warranty, state-specific warranties, remodeling, commercial, building systems, HUD-Code, and more. Although the company caters specifically to builders, its offerings are still competitive in the industry.
