That is where the money is saved and where the next leak arrives. Los Angeles County is no different. On most jobs, the variable line on any Montebello quote is deck repair, and it should be priced per sheet in writing rather than hidden in an allowance. Warranty terms affect the real cost of a Montebello roof covering more than the headline figure does.
