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

Two visits a year: clear valleys and gutters before the rains, then check flashings after the first real storm. In San Francisco that matters most because asphalt dries out and sealant pulls back from penetrations years before the field wears through.
