This is the most critical part of the job. All of this repair needs tending, and the groundwork needs to be laid. Expertly, we employ a seven layer/six step deck remodel waterproofing system that has been custom modified over a twelve year span.
Here is our 7 layer system with copper metal flashing on a complete deck remodel, including new doors, plywood R&R and stucco patching in Laguna Beach. Let's break down what we mean by some of these key terms.
Deck Remodel
This can of course mean many things. In this case, it means a full rehaul or restoration. In other words, going down below the subfloor and repairing the extensive dry rot.
Plywood R & R
On this job, we laid a completely new plywood subfloor. R & R refers to "repair and resheet" or "resheet and replace." First, you assess how much damage has been done to the plywood base. Then you determine if a few patches are necessary or a full remodel – from the ground up.
Flashing, Stucco, Doors
Additionally, we did extensive stucco patching and installed new copper flashing. Above and the call of duty, we assisted the installation of new doors. This is "where the flashing meets the deck" you could say. You need properly flashed door pans and deck edges to avoid water pooling and seepage under the deck coating system.
