Telling you what not to buy is part of every quote. The work you can do yourself is marked before any price.
02What a quote shows, line by line
- The item, and what it includes.
- Its standing: required today, with the section cited; pending, adopted but not in force; or recommended, Fireveyor's judgment.
- The insurer's measure it maps to, where one exists.
- The unit price, and the published range beside it.
- The DIY option, with instructions, if there is one.
- What happens if you skip it.
04What is free, and what is not
| Rung | What you get | Price |
|---|---|---|
| 00Account and assessment | The property record, the written assessment, deadline and insurance notifications, and the DIY checklist. | Free, forever. |
| 01Verification visit | An on-site walk that settles what a desk could not, a photo record, a firm itemized quote, and the evidence packet. | A fixed fee, credited in full against work booked within 90 days. |
| 02Quick-win packages | Ember-resistant vents, gutter guards, the five-foot zone, fence-to-house connections, under-deck enclosure, chimney and roof-edge details. | A fixed, published price per unit. Paid on completion. |
| 03Designation projects | The IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home path, Base or Plus: Class A roofing, siding, decks and windows, and everything above. | A milestone-billed contract. |
| 04Stewardship | Scheduled visits: gutters, Zone 0, Chapter 13A vegetation, the IBHS annual review, re-documentation. | Per visit, billed after it, on a calendar you set. |
The four paid rows are priced here the day the license is active.
05How payment works
Ask Fireveyor to do the work and you contract with Fireveyor, at a published price, and you pay Fireveyor. Fireveyor finds, engages and pays the licensed business that does it.
You pay for what is already delivered. Every contract carries this sentence of California law:
The down payment may not exceed $1,000 or 10 percent of the contract price, whichever is less.
- The business that does the work is Fireveyor's subcontractor. Fireveyor pays it, on the terms Fireveyor signed with it, and it bills you nothing.
- The down payment is taken at the cap, never above it, and never in person.
- Every progress payment follows a milestone you can see in photographs, and never exceeds the work done or the materials delivered.
- Nothing is signed on the day of the visit. Quotes stay valid for at least 30 days.
- Every contract carries the three-day right to cancel, the mechanics lien warning and the license number.
- A one-day job is paid that day, on completion.
- Stewardship is billed after each visit. There is no prepaid plan.
06What a price is not
- A cost range in the assessment is not a quote. A quote comes after a visit, in writing.
- A quote is not a guarantee of an insurance outcome. The evidence packet shows an underwriter what was done; the insurer decides.
