Recent Home Warranty Reviews in Boston
- Telham Front EndThey are excellent. I highly recommend them. We found him 4 or 5 years ago. He is just a great guy. He is very knowledgeable, there is nothing he can't repair. He is very independent, he has his own shop. It is always clean as can be there. When he says he is going to do something he does it. It is someone you can recommend to anybody and not worry about it. He does everything
- Andreo Painting CoI called Bill Andreo at the last hour, as another painter had fallen through. My goal was to paint the entire interior of a newly purchased house before we moved in. Bill completely transformed my house, from dark and dismal to clean and fresh. Highly detailed, an expert carpenter and painter, very experienced, trustworthy. The painting and repairs are perfect. He did so many repairs and so much carpentry work - I couldn't list them all. Anything he found, he fixed, with appropriate communication to me. The basement was problematic. I had asked for old dark panelling to be removed to find very poor dry wall construction underneath. We worked a second quote out for the additional work. Even though a surprise, he was ready to fully complete the job. I feel blessed to have found Bill. I highly recommend him. He will be back in the spring to paint my exterior, repair my deck, and replace my roof
- JOURNEAY INSURANCE INCWe have been with them since we bought the house in 1977. It is about $50 a month and it is paid through our home mortgage. I would recommend them. We have been very pleased with them and that is why we stayed with them. They have been very good with the price. They have been good to us over the years
- HomeServe USAThis wound up being much more complicated then it need be and required three visits. First to diagnose the issue. Second was to replace one part. The third visit was required because not all parts which should have been replaced were. But after all was said and done the job was completed. I wound up talking with a case manager in, I assume, the vice-president's office. It turns out he did ultimately hear of the issues I was dealing with in getting the boiler fixed. The case manager listened, was friendly and left me feeing that she was in my court wanting to help me out. It's nice to talk with someone who can communicate over the phone a sincere desire to help you out. The problem that needed resolution was resolved and the company was generous in its recompense for the extra time I had to spend in getting the problem resolved. The case manager turned a problem into an opportunity, or, to say it another way, turned a negative into a positive. The sort of thing that goes a good ways in communicating a positive message. All in all I plan to stay with this company. In owning a rental I have a responsibility to repair the boiler as quickly as can be if the furnace boiler decides it does not want to work. Winter doesn't go on vacation and when you have tenants they are not concerned about when or how the boiler is repaired they just want it repaired. They have the right to that expectation because they are paying for an apartment with a working heating system. As long as the tenants do their job of paying their rent and I do my job of maintenance everybody is happy. So having a company standing behind me ready to repair my boiler helps me do my job
- SilaI got a year's contract for the maintenance, after they installed the water heater and automatic shut-offs for the water heater and washer. It took three visits to just do the regular maintenance, because they were unprepared for our configuration, and in one case sent an electrician, rather than a plumber. They refused to renew our service contract, and were less than pleasant about it. Since they created the configuration (I was please with the installers and their service), they should have been able and willing to do the routine service
- HomeServe USAAfter paying for homeServe; I was told that they were to BUSY to help me. I would not have HomeServe again! !!!

"I
love Mickey McNulty. It was sort of a complicated house search for long
distance because we were living in Syracuse at that time. I had to travel to
Massachusetts to do house hunting. We started out claiming to buy a real
authentic antique colonial home that was built over 100 years ago. The first
day of house hunting made it evident that was not what was going to make us
happy. Then by the second day, we were looking at new construction. So, Mickey
McNulty was incredibly flexible and helpful in terms of research and finding
properties that were appropriate for us. We had some difficulties because of
making a purchase offer on a home that was actually not still on the market.
So, we felt that we got a purchase offer on our dream home, but the deal fell
through because it really wasn't still on the market. It was a real tough thing
to go through. Mickey was just a rock. She absolutely understood how
emotionally difficult that was. She was supportive and patient. We just picked
ourselves up, dusted ourselves up and started all over again. Then I made
another trip up here and we found our dream house. It was also a very
complicated closing, but she earned her commission on this one. There was a lot
of work. She was very pleasant, positive, personable and friendly. She never
loses her cool. We were house hunting in a blizzard on days when nobody should
have been out in the car. She knew I was in town to do it; so we just went
ahead and did it. She had bags of sand and shovel in the back of her vehicle.
If we could get into a driveway, we made it happen. That's how hard she worked
to show me a house.
