DECK COATING PROJECTS
This large deck in Simi Valley has leaked along the edge of the deck due to ponding water in the heavy rain. The deck has a few low spots that need to be re-sloped. The existing coating is partially damaged due to the ponding water. We re-sloped the deck surface so the water can drain properly toward the drains and then added new waterproofing and cement top coating.

DECK REPAIR AND COATING
This beautiful and large deck suffered from cracks, holes, and leaks. We repaired the cracks, filled in the holes, and coated the deck.

DECK LEAK REPAIR, WATERPROOFING, DECK COATING, AND CHIMNEY STUCCO REPAIR
This 600 square foot deck had severe leaks. The homeowner hired other contractors to patch over the leak areas, but unfortunately, the leaks deteriorated. The previous contractor did not apply the correct waterproofing materials which caused the water to get trapped underneath. Once we removed all the deck coating materials we found severe damage on the plywood, the joists, and the chimney base.
We added reinforcement to approximately 20 joist beams and added new 1” T&G plywood throughout the deck. The railing of the deck was also damaged and in order to remedy this, we removed and replaced all the deck posts and deck railings.
We applied the Tufflex Pedestrian Decking System, which included the metal lath, waterproofing concrete, 2 thick coats of polyurethane waterproofing membrane, and 2 coats of protective color coats. At the stucco wall, we added flashings around the chimney base and installed waterproofing underlayment as well as new stucco to the chimney wall.

Leaky and cracked deck surface where the damage occurred.
You can clearly see here where there was dry rot and termite damage on the joists.
We added reinforcement (also known as “sisters”) to all the damaged joists.
We installed new T&G exterior plywood and heavy-duty galvanized staples down the diamond lath throughout the deck to improve reinforcement. This will also help to decrease corrosion.
The flashing around this deck post was custom-made to provide waterproofing. This is a common area that causes a deck to leak. Our custom flashing will help prevent any future leaks from occurring.
You'll see here that we installed waterproofing concrete to the entire surface and pitched the deck in order to force the water to drain towards the front end.
We applied this waterproofing membrane to the entire deck to help with the sloping and prevent future leaks.
We installed new flashing around the chimney base and added waterproofing on the chimney wall underneath the wire mesh
The first few stucco coats are applied to the chimney wall. See the difference between the bottom of the chimney and the top.
The chimney is fully repaired and completed!
The newly installed deck coating and deck railing all look great!
Repaired termite- damaged wood framing and installed new sliding doors.
