Or are there a bunch of loopholes?

They paid for my dads, took him awhile and may have threatened them with court but they covered it.

Read the contract.

I remember hearing they are basically worthless to the consumer in terms of damages.

I think they were written by Col. Tom Parker, they are THAT crooked. (Look him up if you don't know.)

I know they said they were willing to pay for 50% of the replacement cost. Contract said they would pay 100%.
They ended up paying 100% after my dad spoke with whoever came to inspect the damage.
ETA: This is Terminix

Read it. Of course wordy, but sounds like no. Wondering what the point of the service agreement is.

Depends contract to contract.
All contracts have certain exclusions. if you let you roof/windows leak for months and end up getting termites in that area, they might not cover 100%. If you disturb the soil where treatment was done or remove baiting systems, they might not cover 100%.
Some contracts cover no damage, others have a cap of a certain dollar amount, others are unlimited. Many companies have contracts that are insured by an insurance company (LIPCA) who will fight you to lessen the claim. Fewer companies are self-insured (Terminix for one) and will pay 100%.
