Exterior Deck Waterproofing

Winter is coming. You can beat the OC rainy season at its own game, by checking out the condition of your exterior decking. If you notice any soft spots, cracking, puddles, holes, or even leaking below – don't hesitate to contact a licensed and bonded exterior deck waterproofing contractor! You will thank yourself all winter long. Prestige Deck Coating recently added another happy customer to its list of deck repair and resurfacing projects. Here are some of the things we were reminded of...

Deck Problems to Address:

Questions. Any exterior deck waterproofing company should be an open book. You should be able to ask them about any detail or the project. Because it is your deck, no two customers are alike. A professional company will be willing to be overly communicative. The success of your decking project depends on clear goals and open suggestions.







Pricing. If a deck repair company isn't upfront about the costs, say adios! At Prestige, we make sure to provide a thorough estimate of project cost, based on your needs and our expert knowledge of the condition of decks. We offer free onsite estimates with a quick follow up analysis through a detailed estimate. We do not over promise or under deliver. Our pricing is competitive, because we consider each exterior deck waterproofing project as unique.

Deck Waterproofing With Rails:

Railing. What if you have a rail on your exterior decking? Due to the fact that clear communication is crucial, be sure to be in the know. Depending on the situation, a waterproof decking company can actually repair a railing and remove it. For this reason, make sure to ask whether or not they are planning on laying the waterproofing membrane over the railing base or under it. You don't want to have to uninstall and remove a rail that can stay put.

O.C. Deck Waterproofing

O.C. Deck Waterproofing

Concerned about the spring rains? Worried about summer storms? Is your decking starting to show signs of wear? Do you have dry-rot, rust, or a soft spot on your decking? Perhaps, you simply want to upgrade your wood decking for something more permanent? Prestige Deck Coating is your O.C. deck waterproofing solution for any need!

O.C. Deck Coating – The What

So, just what is deck waterproofing anyway? Thankfully, there are many good systems available. After research, experimentation, and on-the-job application of different methods – we chose to adapt the Desert Crete philosophy to O.C. deck waterproofing, deck coating, and pool deck resurfacing projects. Truly, we have customized these professionally lauded products and methodologies.

Our "Crete" systems are 6 level/5 layer fully impervious waterproofing systems for over wood or concrete.

The How

These are your 6 easy steps to having a successful O.C. deck waterproofing experience:

Prep – Repair and restructure. If you have holes, soft spots, rust or other water damage, the first step is to build a solid foundation. With versatility, we do everything from drain and flashing repair/installation to full plywood re-sheeting. Once the structure base is secure, we are ready to lay down our system.

Laying Down Lathe

1. Metal Lathe. Next, we securely staple down metal lathe to accomplish two things. One, a strong base. Two, for flexibility. The lathe bonds the concrete and bolsters the springiness.
2. Concrete. Using polymer modified concrete as our base layer, you get double security. Like the lathe, it is strong and flexible. It especially gives a solid core to apply the further layers.
3. Fiberglass. This is the key layer. Fiberglass insures that your O.C. deck waterproofing project will be sealed from all leakage. Both bonder resin and mesh fiberglass are applied to seal the deal.
4. Concrete 2. Sandwiching the fiberglass to add a layer of strength, we apply another skim coat of polymer modified concrete. As would be expected, this O.C. Deck waterproofing system is rock solid.
5. Texture. For grip and aesthetics, we pray on a last layer of polymer modified concrete. Optionally, you can choose your preference of style.
6. Paint Sealer. The lat step is the most gorgeous. Choose from 16 color choices to enhance the beauty of your new O.C. deck waterproofing masterpiece. Twice applied, this is concrete fortified paint sealer is waterproof as well!

The Why

A robot you can trust!

"I'm a general contractor with deadlines and other trades lined up after my decks are done. Josh and crew have stepped up and accommodated my moving target schedules keeping my jobs moving along. He shows up when he says and rolled with the extensive rain punches we all had to deal with this recent wet winter. I would highly recommend him and his crew to fellow contractors and homeowners alike."

Deck Fiberglass Waterproofing

Deck Fiberglass Waterproofing

Deck Fiberglass Prep

After repairs, flashing installation, metal lathe, and polymer modified concrete levels – we are ready to move on to the next crucial step in deck fiberglass waterproofing project. For complete deck waterproofing success, a middle layer of fiberglass and acrylic resin are used. Without a doubt, this is the definitive difference in decking success.

After insuring that the concrete foundation is secure, we move to the deck fiberglass waterproofing layer. Indeed, we do not rush through any of these crucial steps. Because it is so important, the deck coating experience is a patient and skillful process. Prestige Deck Coating is ready to help. After the first layer of our 5 step system, comes the home run moment. Just watch it fly out of the park!

Fiberglass Deck Process

Layer 2 makes all the difference! By taking a tip from the surfboard and boat making tradition, you stay dry. Key word: Fiberglass. Who knows waterproofing better than those who spend much of their time in the water? The question is, how do they keep from leaks, water invasion and sinking? The main step that sets us apart from many deck fiberglass deck waterproofing experts is our second layer of bonded chop strand glass fibers.



First, we roll out the mat to custom fit your deck. Next, we fray the edges of the fiber so that no unsightly line shows through the final coating. At the same time, this overlapping technique strengthens the bond of the glass fibers. Not enough? We plaster 1/8 inch tight fibers with industry grade bonder to completely seal your deck from water intrusion. Lastly, our bonding resin up goes up underneath the flashing and all around the perimeter of the deck. Insuring a watertight seal, we leave no edge unglued!

Watertight Promise

Is your deck rotting? Perhaps, you have a deck coating that is peeling, soft, or punctured? Or, do you want a new look for your patio deck, pool deck, roof deck, balcony deck, walkway, or stairs? Our deck waterproofing membrane system could be your solution! Prestige Deck Coating specializes in waterproof decking solutions for homes and offices. To waterproof your decking, right materials and an experienced company are crucial. No worries, you needn't install a new deck or keep coating it with clear sealer every year.

Waterproofing Membrane System

We have developed our own 5 layer waterproofing membrane system, utilizing the diagram above.

Layer 1. First, we secure your plywood deck sub-floor with flexible metal lathe. Optionally, we can lay down our system on top of eligible concrete coated decks. Our polymer modified concrete is super strong. It is also waterproof. 



Layer 2. Immediately after drying, we lay down fiberglass matting. Imagine surfboards and boat sides. With added resin, this insures a fully waterproof surface.

Layer 3. As if that wasn't enough, we add a second layer of waterproof polymer modified concrete. This gives it a "sandwich" feel. The result is, the fiberglass is protected and the whole waterproofing membrane system is strengthened.

Layer 4. Everyone knows, a slippery decking system is no bueno. Nor, is it attractive. Don't worry, you choose the finish layer texture. Consequently, you get both a safe and beautiful waterproofing membrane system. Lastly, we spray on a custom pattern with waterproof concrete.

Layer 5. As if four layers of waterproof materials wasn't sufficient – we add a fifth. Like the texture finish, this is your choice. Thankfully, we have many colors to chose from. Go fresh, get funky if you want. Two powerfully waterproof coats of concrete fortified paint. Boom, this deal is sealed. Just count to five and see the difference a waterproofing membrane system can bring! 

We have been developing our custom waterproofing membrane system since 2009.

Our supervisors have at least 30+ years of experience in the deck repair and waterproofing industry. Not only that, but we use professional grade, eco-friendly products. Offering 16 choices of color, you are the boss.

Please, call us today for a free onsite estimate!

Get A Waterproof Plywood Deck

Because of the beautiful weather in south Orange County, there are many outdoor decks. Yet, when the rains come each year they can

accumulate damage. Homeowners and hotel managers need to need know this firsthand. This is why many have opted out of exposed wood decking. At Prestige Decking, we know how to transform your wood deck into a waterproof plywood deck.

Waterproof Plywood Deck?

There are basically two ways you can go. You can use a clear sealer and keep re-coating every year or two (depending on the local weather). Sure, the look of natural wood is pretty. But, it comes at a heavy cost of money and time for upkeep. Or, you opt to install a more permanent solution.

Prestige Deck Coating installs two types of waterproofing systems. One, placing our deck waterproofing system over your existing concrete surface. Second, installation over a plywood base.

Waterproof Plywood Deck – How?

If you have a wood slat deck, the first step is to nail down plywood sheeting. This provides a sturdy yet flexible base level for our deck coating system.

Next, metal lathe is securely stapled down. This gives the waterproof plywood deck strong support for the coating layers.

Third comes the concrete. This gives the waterproof plywood deck its core. We use polymer modified concrete to keep the cement from cracking. Each step in the process takes into account the need for a balance between strength and flexibility.

Key in the waterproofing system is fiberglass. Just like in boating and surfing, the waterproof deck repair industry uses fiberglass to ensure a watertight seal. Any pesky leaking water from the top of the deck cannot penetrate our fiberglass layer.

A skim coat of concrete wedges the fiberglass in place and adds strength.

This is a safe waterproof plywood deck system. Added for a non-slip grip is a texture coat pattern (of your choice). It looks really nice as well.

Finally, two coats of concrete fortified paint sealer (you color choice), are sprayed on to seal the deal!

Waterproof Plywood Deck – Now!

You don't need to build a new deck, or continue to waste time and money with the upkeep of wood decking. Call Prestige Decking today for a free estimate on your new waterproof plywood deck!
