As a rule, warranty terms affect the real cost of a Montebello roof more than the headline figure does. We see it on Montebello roofs every week. Itemised, itemised estimates let Montebello property owners compare bids properly rather than guessing at what is included. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Deck replacement on a Montebello job is unknown until the tear-off, which is why it belongs in the contract as a per-sheet rate.
