The variable line on any Manhattan Beach quote is deck repair, and it should be priced per sheet in writing rather than hidden in an allowance. This holds across Los Angeles County. Realistically, budgeting a Manhattan Beach replacement a few years out costs nothing and removes the pressure of choosing a contractor during a storm. Put simply, deck replacement on a Manhattan Beach job is unknown until the tear-off, which is why it belongs in the contract as a per-sheet rate.
