Poor workmanship by the contractors sent by the home warranty companies is quite common. I know someone whose stove was 'fixed' by a technician sent by the warranty company. But the stove started having new problems soon after because the repair wasn't done properly. Also, companies often try to limit the scope of what they cover. They might cover parts but not the labor, leaving homeowners with unexpected costs.
In many home warranty horror stories, miscommunication is a major issue. The home warranty company may not clearly explain what is covered and what isn't. For instance, a homeowner thought their refrigerator was fully covered. But when it broke, they found out only certain components were covered. And the replacement parts the company provided were of low quality, which led to the appliance breaking down again soon.
There was a case where a roof leak occurred. The home warranty firm sent a roofer who did a shoddy repair job. The leak came back worse a few weeks later. When the homeowner complained, the home warranty company said they wouldn't cover it again as it was considered the same issue, leaving the homeowner to deal with costly repairs on their own.
One common problem is contractors not finishing the job on time. Another is using low - quality materials. Also, contractors might overcharge for the work.
Delays are very common. Builders often over - promise on completion times. Another problem is poor quality work. This can range from shoddy electrical wiring to bad paint jobs.
One common problem is contractors disappearing or being unreliable. They might take the money and not show up to do the work. Another is damage to existing structures like plumbing or electrical systems, as I mentioned before. Bad workmanship is also a big issue, like when things are installed incorrectly.
Denial of claims is common. Insurance companies might find reasons like policy exclusions or pre - existing conditions to deny paying out. For example, if there's some minor wear and tear on a roof before a storm and the roof gets damaged during the storm, they might use that as an excuse.
One common problem is negligence. Workers might not follow the care plan properly. For example, not giving the right amount of medicine at the right time.
One common problem is theft, like stealing the patient's valuables or medications.
Poor sealing is another issue. Deckrete that isn't sealed well can let in water, which can lead to all sorts of problems like crumbling and mold growth. This can make the deck look bad and also be a safety concern as the structure weakens. And then there's the problem of color change. Sometimes the color of the deckrete doesn't hold up as expected, which can be really disappointing for those who were aiming for a certain look for their deck.
High and unexpected maintenance fees are common. For example, people think they're just paying for the purchase but then get hit with huge annual fees.
Unfair odds in loot boxes are also a big issue. You pay for a chance at something good but the chances are so slim it's like throwing money away. Another problem is when the game changes after you've made microtransactions. Your purchases may become worthless, like in some games where new updates render old items useless. It's really frustrating for players who have spent real money on these things.
