Cost on a Valley Center roof comes down to size, pitch, how many layers come off, and what the deck looks like underneath. Phasing a large Valley Center building across two seasons is more often than not cheaper than financing the whole project at once. We see it on Valley Center roofs every week. In practice, deck replacement on a Valley Center job is unknown until the tear-off, which is why it belongs in the contract as a per-sheet rate.
