In fact the area has been opened up and is visible. The inspection was cursory in the area I had the termites but non existent in the rest of the house. The inspector looked at the basement crawl space from the opening and did not inspect it, nor did he go into the attic which was accessible. His report noted 'problems' in areas he did not even look at. Their bid was quite competitive though and since I already knew I had to fumigate I went ahead and asked them to do it. That is when the fun started. While signing the contract the inspector could not explain any of the clauses. Then he noted verbally that they only had a one year guarantee where everybody else has three years. Every other question I asked him after that , no matter what the topic, he kept saying it meant that I was agreeing to a one year guarantee and that the future 'inspection' and continuing guarantee would mean I was agreeing to a service contract at several hundred dollars a year. He was fixated on that issue. Simple bait and switch. Overall their inspection was a joke, their prices were ok, but their inability to understand their own contract and attempt to hook you in to a service contract was not acceptable. I tore up the contract and went with another firm that was more reasonable.

Like many of the Big Deal inspections, it seems like it's more of a visit to give an estimate on work than an independent take on the issues at hand. Of the 3 or so I've done (energy audit, electric and something else), I think this was more like an independent inspection than the others (the energy audit was pretty much a sales call, and the report a sales tool), as the discussion and report/bid was far more about the issues discovered and the risks associated (and the code). I would definitely have these guys look at an electrical issue in the future.

"I had a very positive experience. Nasir was professional but friendly and even my protective dog settled down quickly which I always consider a good sign. Nasir explained each step of the way and let me know when he’d be up on the roof and inside to clean out the stove ( this was a chimney cleaning job ) . I felt it was an extremely fair price for an overdue and dirty job and left everything spotless. Even gave me tips on cleaning the glass door of the wood stove.

FAQs for chimney inspection projects in Ben Lomond, CA
The average cost for a professional chimney cleaning is around $250, but prices range from $130 to $400 or more, depending on a few factors. Some things that have an impact on your total include the size of your chimney, the number of chimneys cleaned, and how accessible the chimneys are.
The cost to install a fireplace is $2,440 on average. This cost can range from $150 to $8,000 or more, depending on the type of fireplace, the materials used, and the size.
Electric fireplaces cost around $1,000 to install, and mostly only require wiring installation. Installing a wood fireplace from scratch could cost upwards of $10,000, depending on the foundation needed to support the weight of the fireplace. In addition, gas fireplaces can cost between $2,500 and $10,000.
The National Fire Prevention Agency (NFPA) recommends chimney sweeping once per year as a means of avoiding house fires and massive property damage. Over time, creosote and soot build up in your chimney from burning wood and a lack of ventilation. These compounds are both highly flammable, which means a build-up of them inside your chimney puts you at an increased risk of house fire. Chimney sweeping removes any residue and helps reduce the risk of property damage and personal injury from fire.
The cost to remodel your fireplace is $1,200 on average. This cost can range from $400 to $2,000, depending on the extent of work needed.

If choosing tile, you can pay between $1 and $50per square foot, depending on the design. Stone is a more expensive material, averaging between $60 and $70 per square foot.
On average, chimney repairs cost about $455. However, because of the vast range of potential repairs needed, the cost to repair a chimney ranges widely from $160 to $15,000, depending on the type and extent of repairs required.
