VO: For many Americans, their homes are their most valuable asset, and routine upkeep can help protect that investment. Protecting it from things like theft and fire makes sense. That’s why you have insurance. But what about planning for the inevitable system and appliance breakdowns due to everyday use?
Designing spaces caught up with Matt Blashaw to learn more about American Home Shield.
Matt Blashaw: As homeowners we have lots of items that we use every day. So, it’s inevitable that something is going to break down along the way. I often recommend to my clients that they consider a home warranty. It can help relieve the stress and anxiety of unexpected breakdowns.
