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?
I got a wind mitigation letter with my new roof, and had to provide the building permit and final permit inspection to prove my house was constructed after the Miami-Dade standard was adopted statewide. Tower Hill Insurance Exchange then did their own inspection of the lot and foundation for drainage and condition.
