    Complaint Type:
    Service or Repair Issues
    Status:
    Resolved
    On March 14, 2024 at approximately 1:00pm a plumber, Michael, from AB May came to my home. The plumber came to repair the handles on my son’s bathroom shower. He recently switched those handles out, but one came loose. And finally he switched out a valve on his toilet. After he finished, my son and I went to the movies. When we came home, it was raining in our living room. Another plumber from AB May came, ***** and told us the the valve was NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED. He said that the previous plumber, “tightened the supply line to the tank, but did not get the supply line to the shut off tightened, properly”. I spoke with ***** ****** on Friday and he told me that whatever AB May was responsible for, AB May would fixed. March 14 was the first and last time I spoke with *****. I have called consecutively since the 14th, ***** refuses to return any calls, his supervisor refuses to take or return my calls, customer help wasn’t helpful. Paint is chipping off my ceiling, my paint job on the wall near my kitchen, bubbled up and paint came off, my carpet, which is less than two years old is missing part of the carpet pad. I’ve been a customer with AB May since August 2025. It is typical and disgusting that ***** would rather cover his bottom line and just expect the problem to go away. —I want my ceiling, scraped, repaired and repainted —I want my wall repaired and repainted —I want my carpet pad replaced and stretched. —I want my fee waived for April It is outrageous that I am spending my Easter Sunday filing a claim.

    When buying our house in 12/20 when purchased a home warranty through AB May, we did not have need for any service for 3+ years until the end of February 2024 when our hot water heater went out (for clarity this was a simple 40 gal tanked heater). We contacted AB May and they sent out a plumber, to our surprise we were given a quote of nearly $4,000 and told our warranty would have a $2,000 credit applied so our out of pocket cost was roughly $2,000. This seemed high to us especially given that we were under the impression that we would be covered if something like this were to happen. I declined the service and contacted a couple other companies who both gave estimates around $2,000 (one slightly under, the other slightly over). It seems AB May collects $60 to $70 a month for a home warranty, claiming to cover needed home repairs only to charge approximately $2,000 more than competitors and then to give a $2,000 credit for having a home warranty, ultimately costing the homeowner the same as it would of without ever having purchased the home warranty. After this we promptly cancelled our home warranty contract. We would highly recommend not purchasing a home warranty through AB May.
