Home warranty operators anchor dispatch cost modeling and policy pricing in real permit data. Growth at $2,499 a month covers mid-market dispatch with 95% confidence intervals on median. Scale at $4,999 a month covers national operators. Both sign in 30 to 45 days, an asymmetric alternative to Verisk's Xactimate at $100K-plus ACV and 6 to 9 month procurement.

The asymmetric play

Why Home Warranty Operators Buy HomeQuotr.

When dispatch cost modeling runs on contractor self-reported quotes, the math drifts. You either overpay claims or you under-price policies. Both errors show up at portfolio scale.

Verisk's Xactimate is contractor-self-reported and clears at $100K to $500K ACV with 6 to 9 month procurement. HomeQuotr Growth is $2,499 a month, Scale is $4,999, both permit-anchored, both sign in 30 to 45 days.

Recommended Tier

Start with Growth

Growth at $2,499 a month covers most mid-market home warranty operators with median, p25/p75, p90/p95 severity, permit count, and a 95% confidence interval on median for actuarially defensible dispatch math. National operators move to Scale at $4,999 a month.

The Problem

Warranty Claims Are Priced in the Dark

Home warranty companies pay contractor invoices without an independent cost reference. That gap costs millions.

01

Contractors inflate repair costs knowing warranty companies pay

Without a local market reference, claims adjusters cannot challenge inflated invoices. Contractors price to the maximum the warranty will cover, not the market rate.

02

No independent benchmark to dispute inflated invoices

Adjusters rely on internal tables, contractor quotes, or gut instinct. None of these hold up in a dispute with a licensed contractor who knows the local market.

03

Internal cost tables go stale within months

Material costs, labor rates, and permit fees shift quarterly. Static spreadsheets cannot keep pace with a volatile market, especially after weather events.

Common Questions

Home Warranty Questions

Data freshness, integration, and how HomeQuotr compares to internal cost tables.

How fresh is the data for active claims?

Tier A metros (the largest 17 cities including Dallas, Houston, Chicago, and NYC) refresh weekly. All other metros refresh monthly. Every API response includes a last_updated timestamp so your system knows exactly when the benchmark was last computed.

Can HomeQuotr integrate with our claims platform?

Yes. HomeQuotr is a standard REST API that returns JSON. Any claims management system that can make HTTP requests can integrate. Most teams have benchmarking live within a few hours using the pricing endpoint.

Which trades does HomeQuotr cover?

Six trades at launch: HVAC, Roofing, Electrical, Plumbing, Foundation/Structural, and Solar. These cover the highest-ticket warranty claims. Sub-category breakdowns (e.g., HVAC installation vs. repair) are available within each trade.

How is this different from our internal cost tables?

Internal tables are typically built from historical claims data or contractor surveys, both of which are influenced by what the contractor charges the warranty company. HomeQuotr benchmarks are derived from government building permits, which reflect the actual cost filed with the city, independent of any warranty relationship.
