Is the Cinch Home Services Worth It?

Best workmanship guarantee. The 180-day workmanship guarantee is the single most useful clause in this whole comparison — it is the one that stops you paying twice for the same repair. The service fee is at the top of the range.

Cinch Home Services Pros & Cons

Pros
  • 180-day workmanship guarantee against the 30 to 60 days everyone else offers
  • $10,000 aggregate annual cap, the highest here
  • Covers pre-existing conditions that a visual inspection would not reveal
  • Includes a water-sensor kit and a filter credit on Complete Home
Cons
  • $100 to $150 service fee per visit
  • Deductible choice pushes the premium around a lot
  • Rooftop HVAC units are excluded
