We’re often asked this question. The short answer is that we have little in common. A home warranty is a popular insurance-based product that ‘protects’ owners from large repair or replacement bills associated with particular systems in their homes. Warranty companies determine if your issue is covered, they help arrange a technician (who pays for that referral) for repair work or replacement coverage. This all sounds great, until it’s time to use the warranty. Poor and inconsistent workmanship and denied claims make up the home warranty business model. They make more when they say NO.
Birdwatch soars when we’re saying “YES!” We’re a home management partner, not a warranty product that you manage on your own. We’re here to take home management off your plate, which is a far larger scope than just fixing a few specific items if they break. Even at their very best, home warranties aren’t applicable if you have a leaky faucet, a broken window, a chandelier to be hung, a room to be painted, winterizing to perform, pests to be managed, a renovation to coach you through, and on and on….
Birdwatch takes the hassle out of home ownership. We’re not there to argue coverage on that fridge. We’re giving you back your time with a trusted service that handles your home repairs and enhancements so you don’t have to.
