Flashing at every penetration is replaced rather than reused on a Temple City roof. A typical Temple City re-roof runs one to three days depending on size, pitch and how much deck needs replacing.

A typical Temple City re-roof runs one to three days depending on size, pitch and how much deck needs replacing. Nothing is left open overnight on a Temple City job — the deck is dried in the same day it is exposed.
