Has anyone had experience with these inspections? I assume the homeowner would have to pay for them. Does anyone have any idea of the cost?

Or is this just a threat to get us to accept Slide’s coverage, which isn’t as good as Farmers’ was?
Cost is $100-$200 and generally the homeowner pays but I got State Farm to absorb the cost. I switched to them maybe 6 months ago and the 1st year premium was $815.
