One to three days on a typical Hidden Meadows property, depending on size, pitch and how much deck needs replacing. Nothing is left open overnight.

Yes. Hidden Meadows is about 102 miles from our Sherman Oaks yard, and we work it alongside Valley Center, San Marcos and Escondido on the same routes.

Granules in the gutters, curling tabs, repeat stains in the same ceiling after every storm, and soft spots underfoot. In Hidden Meadows, asphalt dries out and sealant pulls back from penetrations years before the field wears through.

We start at the flashings, check the deck from inside the attic, and photograph every elevation. On a Hidden Meadows property we pay particular attention to dried-out underlayment and attic temperature.

Size, pitch, layer count and deck condition drive the number on any Hidden Meadows roof. The line that moves is deck repair, so it belongs in the Hidden Meadows quote at a rate per sheet rather than as an allowance.

In inland conditions, composition shingle runs roughly fifteen to twenty-five years, tile underlayment twenty to twenty-five, and coatings seven to fifteen depending on the system.
