At Guardian, they understand that purchasing new furniture is an important and often substantial investment. Their protection plan coverages and products are great investments in extending the life and to protect the appearance of new furniture.

With Guardian Protection Products premium plan you have insurance against damages to your fabric, leather or wood furniture including:

What to Expect 

If, or perhaps when, your first spill or accident happens you must contact the service provider with details of the problem, a copy of your original receipt of purchase and contact information. A service representative will assist you in booking an appointment with a sub-contracted service tech who will then contact you to make arrangements. Since time is of the essence when it comes to stains and repairs, typically you will have a resolution within a week, reupholstering or complete replacement will take longer.

With Guardian Protection Products vast network you can expect speedy service anywhere in the country. Their highly trained furniture technicians are fully bonded, insured with excellent service records.

Depending on your protection plan as well as the extent of the damage your furniture may be cleaned, repair or even replaced. For many the peace of mind and knowing their major furniture purchase is protected eases any worry they might have.
