Price about right. Most use thermador. They should make a trench all around your house and put treatment. Where the termites at, they can either drill outside, or make small holes from inside and treat. I do not think any of them sell contracts that will cover repairs anymore. I have one with Orkin, that does repairs, old contract, but they take care of my house very good. Same thing, found some behind a gutter downspout at ground level, they retreated no cost, 40' across, and put small holes in closet where they were located, and treated there also. The only thing that would cost you more is if you had them drill through your slab where you have pipes coming through and around tub fixtures. Sub-terrain termites are not deep, generally only about the first 6" of ground around your slab if you have them. That is why they tell you not to disturb the ground around the slab after treatment period. Which usually occurs when people are doing new landscaping.
The biggest problem you could have is formosan. When they swarm, if they get in your house, which they generally do, if they find water leaks, you will have problems. Only two will start a colony, one becomes a queen, lays eggs, and when hatched, she designates whether they are a worker or a soldier. They multiply fast. So make sure you don't have any leaks anywhere in or out side your home.
