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

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