Pricing, dollar caps, and eligibility vary by state and ZIP and are shown during the online quote process on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.landmarkhw.com\/\">Landmark<\/a>. In 2025, shoppers should also expect clearer auto-renewal disclosures and easier cancellation (click-to-cancel) due to the FTC\u2019s updated Negative Option Rule\u2014standards that apply to subscription-like contracts such as home warranties (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ftc.gov\">FTC Negative Option Rule<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Landmark Home Warranty\u2019s service area is limited to six states: Arizona, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Texas, and Utah (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/home-improvement\/home-warranty\/landmark-home-warranty-review\/\">Forbes Advisor<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usnews.com\">U.S. News<\/a>).

Sources: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.landmarkhw.com\/\">Landmark<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ahs.com\/plans\">AHS plans<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.choicehomewarranty.com\">CHW terms<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sec.gov\/ixviewer\/doc?action=display&#038;source=content&#038;source_url=\/Archives\/edgar\/data\/1727263\/000172726324000016\/ftdr-20231231.htm\">Frontdoor 10-K<\/a>.<br \/>\r\n<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n    \n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Landmark compared to American Home Shield<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>American Home Shield (AHS) offers tiered plans (commonly ShieldSilver, ShieldGold, ShieldPlatinum) and lets you choose a service call fee at purchase; the fee level affects your monthly premium (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ahs.com\/plans\">AHS plans<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ahs.com\/home-warranty\/compare-plans\/\">compare plans<\/a>). AHS marketing also highlights coverage for certain undetectable pre\u2011existing conditions (subject to state terms). Landmark\u2019s approach is simpler with a regional footprint and add-ons that vary by state (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.landmarkhw.com\/\">Landmark<\/a>). Both brands are sister companies under Frontdoor, Inc., which reports large contractor networks and investment in digital claims (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sec.gov\/ixviewer\/doc?action=display&#038;source=content&#038;source_url=\/Archives\/edgar\/data\/1727263\/000172726324000016\/ftdr-20231231.htm\">Frontdoor 10-K<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before purchasing, compare state-specific sample agreements for coverage caps, exclusions, and inclusions such as roof leak repair in higher AHS tiers (availability varies). Also factor in renewal and cancellation terms; enhanced transparency and \u201cclick-to-cancel\u201d are required under the FTC\u2019s Negative Option Rule (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ftc.gov\">FTC guidance<\/a>). BBB letter grades can change quickly and primarily reflect complaint handling rather than product quality; verify the current grade on each brand\u2019s Business Profile (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbb.org\">BBB rating system<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pricing for both is ZIP-based and quote-driven. With AHS, selecting a higher service fee typically lowers the monthly price; Landmark generally shows a fixed service fee during checkout for the chosen plan. Review add\u2011ons (e.g., pool\/spa, septic) and per-item limits, which materially affect total cost (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ahs.com\/plans\">AHS plans<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.landmarkhw.com\/\">Landmark<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Landmark compared to Choice Home Warranty<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Choice Home Warranty (CHW) markets two core plans nationwide with a fixed service call fee disclosed in the agreement; specifics vary by state\/ZIP (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.choicehomewarranty.com\">CHW terms<\/a>). Landmark is regional with plans and add-ons tailored to its six-state footprint (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.landmarkhw.com\/\">Landmark<\/a>). In practice, CHW commonly bundles systems and appliances, while Landmark often splits systems-only and combined options\u2014so read each state contract closely for what\u2019s included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do extra due diligence on renewals, fees, and claims processes. Regulators have increased scrutiny of misleading home\u2011warranty marketing and unfair denials in recent years, and the FTC\u2019s Negative Option Rule sets stricter requirements for auto\u2011renewal disclosures and cancellations (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ftc.gov\">FTC Negative Option Rule<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ftc.gov\">FTC enforcement example<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whichever you choose, verify the state-specific agreement for caps, exclusions (e.g., code violations, improper installation), and whether optional coverages (roof leak, pool\/spa, pest\/termite) are required to protect items you care about (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.choicehomewarranty.com\">CHW terms<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.landmarkhw.com\/\">Landmark<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n            <span class=\"b-toc-anchor\" id=\"bottom\" title=\"The Bottom Line\"><\/span>\n    \n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Bottom Line&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2025, Landmark is a viable pick if you live in AZ, ID, NV, OR, TX, or UT and want a straightforward plan with regional add-ons and a vetted contractor network (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.usnews.com\">U.S. News<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.landmarkhw.com\/\">Landmark<\/a>). To compare options effectively: (1) get ZIP-based quotes and confirm the service-call fee and all-in price (see <a href=\"https:\/\/oag.ca.gov\">CA SB 478<\/a> for transparency context); (2) read your state\u2019s sample contract for caps and exclusions; (3) check current BBB complaint trends and recent, organic public reviews\u2014recency and owner responses matter (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightlocal.com\/research\/local-consumer-review-survey\/\">BrightLocal 2024<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbb.org\">BBB methodology<\/a>); and (4) verify renewal and cancellation meet today\u2019s click-to-cancel standards (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ftc.gov\">FTC<\/a>). For older homes and high-cost systems like HVAC, the predictability of a fixed service fee can be valuable, but ensure the per-item limits and add-ons match your risk profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Landmark Home Warranty Review Landmark operates as a regional home warranty brand with a streamlined lineup that typically includes a systems-only option and a combined systems+appliances plan, plus state-specific add-ons (e.g., roof leak, pool\/spa, and in some areas pest\/termite).
