In practice, budgeting a Westlake Village replacement a few years out costs nothing and removes the pressure of choosing a contractor during a storm. That is as true in Westlake Village as anywhere in Ventura County. Realistically, deck replacement on a Westlake Village job is unknown until the tear-off, which is why it belongs in the contract as a per-sheet rate.
