View Sample ContractAn American Home Shield home warranty covers roof leak repairs. This coverage is included in ShieldPlatinum™, and can be added to ShieldSilver™or ShieldGold™ plans at the point of purchase or within the first 60 days of your membership.
Roof Leak Repair Coverage includes roof leaks that are typically not covered by homeowners insurance. We cover roof leaks in single-family homes caused by dry rot, broken or missing shingles, standard freezing and thawing cycles, and normal wear and tear, which we define as deterioration to the point of damage that occurs due to ordinary use. Typically, on a roof, wear and tear damage is merely the result of exposure to the elements. Limitations and exclusions apply. Please see the Roof Leak Repair Coverage page above for full coverage details.
We cover detached, single-family homes with non-shared roofs that have asphalt shingles, slate, concrete, and clay tiles, or wood shingles and wood shake tiles. We also cover flat roofs (including those with rolled and vinyl materials). In addition to the main materials of the roof, we also cover components and parts like flashing, sealant, and underlayment. Limitations and exclusions apply. Please see the Roof Leak Repair Coverage page above for full coverage details.
Condo, townhomes, mobile home, and other properties with shared roofs. We also do not cover metal or green roofs (also called eco roofs - where the roof has live plants and vegetation on top) because they require special skills and unique tools to repair. Limitations and exclusions apply. Please see the Roof Leak Repair Coverage page above for full coverage details.
If a roof leak is covered, we will repair it subject to your plan’s limitations and exclusions, but we do not provide full roof replacements.
Once your coverage begins (30 days after you purchase your new home warranty plan) you can request service 24/7 online or call 1-888-691-2854 during standard business hours to request service.
Roof-mounted installations such as solar water heaters or solar panels and roof-penetrating items such as skylights, vents, chimneys, cupolas, and exhaust lines are NOT covered. They aren’t considered part of your roof. Furthermore, components permanently attached to these items are not covered. These items often require special equipment to repair or replace. Patch or seal flashing, shingles and shakes, seams, nail pops, underlayment, and vinyl membrane are all considered part of the roof and are covered. Limitations and exclusions apply. Please see the Roof Leak Repair Coverage page above for full coverage details.
No, condos, townhomes, mobile homes, and properties with shared roofs are not eligible for Roof Leak Repair Coverage, since we are not able to verify that roof leak is specific to the covered property associated to the warranty.

It was 100 degrees and my AC went out. Called AHS but the contractor couldn't come until the next day. I rented a motel room for the night and as I was getting ready to leave, the contractor called and said he could be there that night if I still wanted him to!!! I was soooo happy. He fixed my AC and my house was back to normal that night. I would have gladly paid more than the $100 service call fee for this. Thank you AHS!
Britni T.
I have never had a bad experience with the service that AHS provides. When appliances failed, the speedy replacement options were superb with a no-fuss process. You will NOT go wrong with the prices, plans, and services offered by American Home Shield!
Christine D.
As part of our home warranty we were allowed to have several locks rekeyed. Since the previous owner left us one key to the front door and a bag of miscellaneous keys (that went with nothing) it was a huge help to have this done!
Clint P.
I have had American Home Shield for almost 10 years now and it is the best service as a homeowner I have! Highly recommended!
William S.
Great service for homeowners! If you have a ton of cash ready for any home system that may fail at any moment then you are good. If you are like the other 90% of homeowners who don't, then do yourself a favor and protect your investment with an AHS home warranty. Seriously, a new HVAC in California costs over $4K. I paid $100. A new stove last year was $400, but I paid $75. It's in my budget and I don't think twice. AHS always takes great care of me.

I just used AHS for the first time in February because my AC wasn’t working. It was the easiest process!!! The tech came out and had the AC up and running in under 45 minutes. My unit is not new and I’m amazed he was able to bring it back from the dead. But the best part? The ZERO dollar due invoice I received from the AC company!!!! Thank you AHS - I’ve got peace of mind regarding my home.
Scott S.
Great service. We've had four service requests completed for $400 total and it saved us over $2,400.
Eric A.
I wasn't sure if a home warranty would be a good investment. My next door neighbor has AHS and had their AC unit repaired without any issues and little out of pocket cost. With that I was sold. Since then, I've had 2 AC units repaired, an ice maker replaced, a garbage disposal replaced, and most recently a dryer repaired. All with no issues. Doing the math, having AHS is a great investment.
Marie H.
As a long time customer of AHS it is a pleasure to be a member. As a single homeowner I always worry about breakdowns and how I would pay for them. With AHS I don't have that anxiety. Thank you.
Leia S.
I used AHS for the first time and what an easy process. I booked a service appointment online, paid the $100 service fee, and the repairman fixed the problem in less than 10 minutes. Our "trusted" AC tune up guys told us our unit was leaking refrigerant and needed a new coil unit. The AHS contractor saw that a bolt was loose and after he tightened it, his meter no longer detected a leak. Thank you for sending out honest repairmen!! I'm already a huge fan.
Nicole C.
It's a great home protection plan that helps assist with the cost when things break down. The send reliable contractors who are masters in their field of work. You can customize any plan to fit your needs.
Betty M.
Placed my fourth service call in last 7 years and their service people are very reputable. The contractor explained to me what caused the microwave door to break and provided lots of good tips about safety, which is very important to this 80-year-old homeowner.
