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

How long does a roof last in South of Market?

In inland conditions, composition shingle runs roughly fifteen to twenty-five years, tile underlayment twenty to twenty-five, and coatings seven to fifteen depending on the system.
