Guest Units

Guest Unit Warranty Coverage

Guest units are a practical and convenient addition to your home, but they add additional maintenance. Having the right coverage can make it a lot easier to keep things up and running. That's where we come in. When you add Guest Unit coverage to your home warranty plan you can simply place a service request online for a covered issue or call American Home Shield®.

American Home Shield covers guest houses and rental units under 750 square feet. If your guest house or rental unit is larger than that, you will need to purchase additional home warranty coverage.
