New Jersey follows IFC §1104, which requires periodic inspection and load testing of fire escapes.

No. The flat rate — $1,375 for the first fire escape, $350 for each additional — includes the on-site work, the written report, and the certification document delivered to the property owner and (when required) the Cumberland County fire official. Only repairs, if any are actually needed, are quoted separately — and most Deerfield fire escapes are certified without repairs.
Be careful with "free" fire escape inspections in Deerfield. When the inspection costs nothing, the inspecting company only gets paid if it finds repairs — which builds in a financial incentive for every Cumberland County fire escape to "fail" and come back with a large repair bill. Oyster Fire Escape Inspections does the opposite: the inspection itself is a flat published price ($1,375 first fire escape, $350 each additional), and every deficiency that is called out comes with photographs and a written fixed-price scope you can independently verify or bid out.
