$250 per year is a little high. What happens if you have a broken head and you call him? Does he respond within 24 hours and make the repair for free or at a discounted rate? Or, are you just paying him on a per visit basis? Checking your system every 6 months is not often enough to ensure that you won't have a problem between inspections.
I am not a big proponent of Massey, but I do have them for irrigation maintenance. They charge $160 per year, which I don't pay in advance, and they check the system every quarter. And, if I have a broken sprinkler head or an underground leak, they will respond and fix it immediately for a very nominal charge. Last year, they raised the height of 5 pop-up sprinkler heads for $15 each which was very reasonable. They don't charge anything to replace a few sprinkler heads.
