Home Warranties

Home Warranty Program

 

In cooperation with American Modern Insurance Group, Eastern Homebuilders is proud to offer Manufactured Home Warranty Programs.

Your home is your single biggest investment. You've protected the structure and your personal possessions with either homeowners or dwelling insurance. But those policies stop short of protecting you from the unexpected failure of something major, like your furnace, or a problem with your plumbing. Repair or replacement can run up a big bill fast.

American Modern offers protection against repair costs (parts and labor) for product defects, breakdown or malfunction after the manufacturer's warranty has expired.

Our program covers manufactured homes only, and focuses on these "factory installed" components of the home:

  • The Structure
  • Plumbing System
  • Electrical System
  • Central Heating
  • Central Air Conditioning
  • Major Built-in Appliances

Depending on where you live, this kind of coverage might be called a "service contract," "mechanical breakdown insurance," or an "extended warranty." Think of it as a supplement to regular insurance, not a replacement.

 

Here's how it works:

  1. Call 800-262-3555 to report a problem. American Modern will verify your coverage and give you a claim number.
  2. Call the contractor of your choice to assess the problem.
  3. The contractor contacts American Modern, repairs or replaces the item, and sends them the bill.
  4. You pay the $50 or $100 deductible to your contractor.
