Deck Coatings 101

Not all deck coatings are the same. Many Orange County balconies, stairways, patios, pools, and roofs have waterproof deck coating systems. This means, the natural wood surface is covered with a watertight multi-layer waterproof coating. Instead of stain and varnish, this robust solution, is both effective and watertight. The bonus is: it usually lasts for over 10 years without maintenance. That is the summary, here is the nitty gritty – Deck Coatings 101 here we come!


Each level of our custom Deck Coatings 101 waterproofing system is crafted to be watertight–from foundation to perimeter!

Here is a breakdown of our tried and trustworthy 5 layer system. We have spent over a decade perfecting these crucial steps in ensuring a strong, sealed, safe, and secure decking experience.

Decking 101 in a simple rhyme.

*Layering the Lathe. Metal lathe is stapled on the plywood substrate. Or, if the previous coating is intact, we can coat right over it (see diagram below).

*Potent Polymer. Polymer modified concrete is the first coat. The polymer helps flex, the concrete beefs up the strength.

*Flawless Fiberglass. This key step puts chop strand fiberglass in between our two concrete coats. This is where the watertight seal shines. In addition, this makes our system exceptional in the industry.

*Tenacious Texture. After a second skim coat of concrete, we add a texture of your choice. This gives the deck a gritty grip, no slip or trip.

*Pretty Paint. Last but not least, two waterproof coats of concrete fortified paint seal the deal! Your choice of color to accentuate your personality.
