While Ted was out doing an install his employees stained six of seven of my doors too dark. Ted attempt to fix the problem but the problem was compounded when his employees sanded through the finish on the doors. Ted wanted to deliver the doors as is and bill me for the work done wrong. I ended up having to take Ted Nolen, Total Home Cabinetry, AKA Total Home Services to small claims court where the court ruled in my favor. Seven months later and I'm still having to deal with this issue. I would NOT recommend OR use Ted Nolen, Total Home Cabinetry, AKA Total Home Services again. Ted failed to stand behind his work and failed to take responsibility for the work his employees messed up.

Home Warranty reviews from real Angi homeowners in Menomonie, WI
The installation went well once the windows arrived. However, it turned out the window seals were faulty causing fog/haze on 6 windows (western exposure) due to a manufacturing defect. Fibertec backed the windows with a 25-year warranty, and Above and Beyond, Josh Rosen, was quite helpful in...

"Buyers Beware – Total Waste of Money We purchased the premium home warranty package through Home Warranty Inc (homewarrantyinc.com) when we bought our home in October 2024, including the add-on for sprinkler system coverage. As anyone familiar with North Dakota knows, sprinkler systems must be winterized in September or October to prevent freeze damage. Ours was professionally blown out as soon as we moved in. Fast forward to spring—sprinkler systems in this region typically aren’t used again until late May, after the last freeze. We hired a professional sprinkler company to perform the spring startup and inspection. They found that multiple valves weren’t working properly. I filed a claim with the home warranty company immediately. Despite having the coverage, they denied the claim, saying it was a "pre-existing condition." That’s absolutely ridiculous, considering the system was winterized upon move-in and wasn’t even operational until months later. To make matters worse, this company has no partnered service providers in our town. You're expected to find your own technician, and good luck finding one who’s willing to work with them. Even if you do, you're likely stuck paying a significant amount out of pocket if anything needs to be replaced. This company is a complete scam. They take your money and leave you high and dry when it actually matters. I would never recommend them to anyone."

Home Warranties questions, answered by experts
Many benefits come with buying a home warranty when selling your home, but there are drawbacks to consider, too.
Pros
Peace of mind of home repair coverage
Incentive for buyers
Transferability to new owners
Prevent post-sale issues
Cons
Expensive cost
Exclusions of certain features or appliances
Coverage limits
Often difficult to understand
Potential wait for claim service
While a work warranty covers contractor repairs post-construction, a home warranty acts as a safety net against future breakdowns and unexpected expenses. Home warranties provide discounted repairs and replacements for essential home systems like plumbing and electricity in exchange for an annual fee.
While home warranties can provide a welcome safety net to some homeowners, they’re not a guarantee. The cost of a home warranty might not always be worth it. Other homeowners may be better off stocking away those funds in an emergency savings account in order to cover the cost of unexpected home repairs.
Most home warranties transfer with ownership, but it depends on the home warranty provider. Some companies automatically transfer the coverage from the seller to the buyer; some require additional paperwork to complete the transfer, and others may not allow a transfer at all. Check the policy or sample contract or ask your home warranty provider to confirm before selling.
Either the buyer or the seller can purchase coverage, and who pays for a home warranty depends on the situation. Some sellers buy a year of home warranty coverage to entice buyers to purchase their home, while some buyers purchase coverage to ensure they’re not on the hook for expensive appliance and system repairs shortly after closing on their home.
Home warranties are like home insurance policies when it comes to pest control—they do not cover pest control services or pest-related damage. However, some companies may offer limited add-ons with dollar caps or the exclusion of a specific pest. Consult your home insurance provider to determine their guidelines for pest coverage.
