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

Pauma Valley sits in San Diego County and takes long dry heat, hard thermal cycling and rain that arrives in a few concentrated storms. In practice that means asphalt dries out and sealant pulls back from penetrations years before the field wears through.
