Deck replacement on a Marina District work is unknown until the tear-off, which is why it belongs in the contract as a per-sheet rate. This holds across San Francisco County. Put simply, documented, itemised estimates let Marina District owners compare bids properly rather than guessing at what is included. As a rule, the variable line on any Marina District quote is deck make good, and it should be priced per sheet in writing rather than hidden in an allowance. That is as true in Marina District as anywhere in San Francisco County.
