Concrete Deck Coating

concrete deck coating_crackIs your concrete deck coating cracking? Does your decking chaffing your good humor? There are many reasons why you might be in need of a deck repair. While there are many deck coating companies to choose from, not all are reliable. Not so, with Orange County's own Prestige Deck Coating! We know deck coatings, our foremen have 30-40 years of experience in the deck waterproofing industry. We know good products, our systems highlight the best of modern deck resurfacing technology. We know customer care, your needs are our highest priority.

Concrete Deck Coating

We believe that proper product installation is key to achieving a long-lasting concrete deck coating. One of our recent projects was a testament to the negative impact of cutting corners with installation. This concrete deck coating was cracking because the anti-fracture fiberglass was missing. Many deck coating companies skip out on this crucial skip in the deck waterproofing process. Let me give you a run through on how we approached this project.
concrete deck coating_cracksWe installed the Flex Decking System. This is a multi-layer waterproofing membrane that is designed for use over concrete sub-floors. In other words, we can apply the Flex System over existing deck coatings that are minimally damaged or on top of any concrete based foundation.

Here is a step-by-step of our concrete deck coating process:

-Trowel down cementitious base coat with polymer additive
-Laminate using fiberglass matting and acrylic resin (Bonder 480)
-Spray cement texture coating of your choice (Smooth/Knockdown/Orangepeel)
-Seal using two coats of fortified concrete paint

Costa Mesa "coastal table"

Cool Deck Costa Mesa

Costa Mesa means "coastal table" in Spanish. This city may be a "table by the sea," but it can get hot. This means heat and exposure damage to deck coatings. What you need is a cool deck coating for the scorching summers. Enter Prestige Deck Coating. We are a local, experienced, professional deck repair company that installs matchless deck waterproofing systems. If you want a cool deck surface to enjoy at any time of the day, we are happy to help!

Cool Deck

Our deck coatings are not only cool temperature wise, but aesthetically pleasing! Isn't that one of the selling points of Orange County, multi-faceted beauty?

The "coastal table"

We make sure everything is covered, literally! We do deck waterproofing, we do deck repair, we do deck flashing, we do deck coating, we do deck paint. Unlike a kitchen table, that you want to be flat, our decks need to be uneven.

One of our recent jobs in Costa Mesa required just such a tweak to make it a truly cool deck.

Deck Flashing. Ponding water on this decking surface had caused deck flashing damage, so we first had to install copper L metal flashing to make the perimeter watertight. Copper was used because of the deteriorating effects of salty ocean air.
Sloping. The ponding problem also called for a sloping solution. We had to install a sloping "cricket" to divert water off of the deck. This two sided "V" shaped sloping procedure uses a high point to divert water away from a central troubled ponding spot. Typically decks are built with adequate sloping, but in certain cases ponding requires us to make your deck even more uneven. Don't try this on your kitchen table!

The deck was then ready for our Crete Decking System. This 5 layer waterproofing membrane is designed to enhance the functionality of a properly sloped deck.

From deck flashing to deck paint, you will get a cool deck with Prestige Deck Coating! We use superior products, have the best installers in the business, and value our customers needs. Put free estimates and a 10 year warranty on the table, and you have got yourself one cool deck coating company!

San Juan Capistrano Deck Waterproofing

san juan deck waterproofing_mission wallPrestige Deck Coating is on a San Juan Capistrano deck waterproofing mission! At the same our fledgling country was declaring their independence, the Spanish were planting missions on the opposite side of what would be the United States of America. One such mission was founded in the same year of country's origin. It is not only swallows that flock to San Juan Capistrano each year. Tourists descend on the sunny beaches near this historic landmark. It is not only people and animals that make their residence here.

Extremes in weather are permanent fixtures in this semi desert region. No wonder the early inhabitants developed adobe houses to match the extreme conditions. The decking surfaces take a beating as well. Cracking, chipping, flaking, delamination, dry rot, leaking and other climate conditioned factors, prove destructive to deck coatings. Prestige Deck Coating is your friendly neighborhood solution to all of your San Juan Capistrano deck waterproofing needs!

One of our recent customers has a newly constructed deck that needed our services.

Deck Flashing. Because the corners of a decking project are crucial in ensuring a waterproof seal, we started with expert deck flashing installation. This deck butted up against the house and had three open sides. This called for two types of metal flashing. Diato, or Combo metal, was installed along the deck to wall transition, incorporating the stucco screed. This means a seamless blending of deck flashing and wall, that is fully waterproofed!

san juan capistrano deck waterproofing_drip edge up closeWe next laid down the drip edge flashing around the deck's perimeter. This kind of flashing allows for the excess water to sheet off the deck, eliminating ponding. We use this flashing when there are no deck drains to remove water accumulated on the deck.
As this was a new construction, we needed to secure the whole perimeter from water intrusion. So we installed a door pan under the door threshold.

San Juan Capistrano Deck Waterproofing System. After flashing prep, we installed our Crete Decking System. This 5 layer deck resurfacing membrane is designed specifically to be applied over plywood deck sub-floors.

At Prestige Deck Coating, San Juan Capistrano Deck Waterproofing is our mission! We have deck coatings foremen with up to 40 years of experience in the industry. Free estimates and a 10 year warranty round out our excellent service!

Diato Deck Flashing

Deck Flashing Repair

Deck Flashing Repair_Dana Point coveAh, delightful Dana Point! Located on the riveting Riviera of the Orange County coastline, this is a gem on the west coast garden of oceanic opulence. One would think that this diver's destination would be immune from water issues on land! Not so, in fact the proximity to the ocean brings devious dangers of their own. Ocean air and fog causes unwanted moisture intrusion on decking surfaces. The need for deck flashing repair is common occurrence. Thank goodness that Prestige Deck Coating lives right around the corner in Capistrano Beach! We are on it.

Deck Flashing Repair Dana Point

Deck Flashing Repair_DiatoOne such deck flashing repair in Dana Point had an existing coating that was in usable shape, so we could install our deck waterproofing system over top.

First, we had a few deck repairs to attend to:
-The bottom 8 inches of the stucco was removed and replaced for installation of the Diato 'Combo' metal.
-Next, we installed Combo metal deck flashing along the deck to wall transition, incorporating the stucco screed. This is to make sure the wall would be ready for stucco when we are done.
-We had to perform a mass installation of deck drains to insure proper drainage.
With extra drains in place, we had to insure that the decking was properly sloped. Sloping is key to eliminate possible deep ponding, which over time causes deck coating deterioration. The need for deck flashing repair escalates when ponding damages the coating and seeps into the sub-floor. This causes dry rot and leaking.

Deck Flashing Repair_slopingSecond, we installed our industry renowned Crete deck flashing repair system.

This 5 layer deck waterproofing membrane is designed for use over plywood sub-floors. Here is a brief step-by-step:
1) Trowel down polymer modified concrete over lath reinforced sub-floor.
2) Roll out fiberglass matting and lather with bonder, to fully waterproof the deck coating.
3) Reinforce decking surface with an extra layer of concrete.
4) Spray texture coat of your choice.
5) Seal deck repair with two coats of epoxy fortified concrete paint.

Prestige Deck Coating is a superb choice for all of your deck flashing repair needs in Dana Point and beyond! Our skilled installers have 30-40 years experience in the deck coatings industry. We offer free estimates and a 10 year warranty.
