Deck replacement on a Dana Point job is unknown until the tear-off, which is why it belongs in the contract as a per-sheet rate.
Put simply, converted garages in Dana Point are a common source of leaks since the roof was never upgraded with the conversion. Worth knowing before you sign anything. On most jobs, roof covering age across Dana Point clusters around the decades when the area filled in, which means whole streets reach the end of their covering within a few years of each other. Where Dana Point buildings have been re-roofed twice, the next project is a tear-off regardless of what the owner would prefer.
