Put simply, low-priced Dana Point quotes usually skip the flashing. That is where the money is saved and where the next leak arrives. 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. Phasing a large Dana Point building across two seasons is often cheaper than financing the whole job at once.
