As a rule, the variable line on any Manhattan Beach quote is deck repair, and it should be priced per sheet in writing rather than hidden in an allowance. Deck replacement on a Manhattan Beach work is unknown until the tear-off, which is why it belongs in the contract as a per-sheet rate. A Manhattan Beach estimate that comes in far below the others is in most cases missing the flashing, the permit or the disposal.
