It took much more time than I expected especially if you compare the repair which was more extensive the previous month to the same area. I took out Enterprise protection coverage this time and had to pay $24/day. Thus I was out of pocket a few hundred dollars. Paid for the extra days it took Hustead’s to complete the job.
