Not like a free painting estimate, where you walk in, size up the rooms, and your gone, after you go over the home inspection report, you need to look for all the missed items, and to do it right you may be there for a few hours, then spend the time to write up a report and estimate, so a good fee is needed to cover your time, as he was pointing out "The original home owner and new home buyer are arguing about the legality of the way a feeder has been installed in a single family dwelling." so you know from the start, this job is going to tie up some time.
