Construction: How to Turn Bad Weather Into Good Opportunities
Feb 10, 2012 Since many construction projects are weather dependent, many contractors find themselves with idle time on rain or snow days. Some contractors spend the inside time catching up on paperwork, while others will use the bad weather to take some downtime. However, there are other ways you can use your inside days to help grow your business. Follow Up with Past Clients and Meet New Ones Bad weather days are an ideal time to focus on marketing and generating new business. One strategy is to check in with past clients or other contacts to s
ee if they are ready to move forward on projects they have mentioned to you in the past. Bill Leys, owner of The Deck Expert, uses bad weather days to follow up with clients who have had their deck patched to see if they want the deck repaired correctly. “ It often works, and even just the follow up can result in a referral to a neighbor or friend,“ Leys said.

Central Coast Waterproofing to Waterproof 1700 Sq Feet for Tile Decks on Remodel on Ocean Ave Cayucos
Our latest job we’ve just signed is a set of four decks that will be receiving tile over tile waterproofing membrane manufactured by Mer-Kote.
Totaling over 1700 square feet in size, the showpiece of the home will be the 1300 square foot main deck overlooking the ocean. With views from Morro Bay in the south to Cambric in the north, the deck will be a main gathering place for the owner and his family.
General contractor Crizer Construction is heading up the job, and cited the need for a top quality waterproofing system with a top quality company to ensure its correct installation.
With a high end home with high end finishes, Crizer Construction couldn’t afford to take chances.
We use Mer-Kote because we can’t take chances either. Mer-Koch’s system is approved for under tile applications where near constant immersion and contact with water is a given and failure is not an option.
When failure is not an option for your tile deck waterproofing job, call us, the experts in tile deck waterproofing systems, methods and application.

Installing Sloping In Front of Door
Today we are putting the base coat down on a deck in San Luis Obispo. The area by the door is a little low so we doubled up the lath and as seen in the picture, Ricky is sloping/screening the mud to move water away from the front of the door.
Little details make great jobs and no one wants ponding water in front of their door. Doing it right is what we are about, paying attention to the details. Might cost a little more but its better to pay a little more and be happy with the job than to pay less and have to pay again.
Maybe that’s why we have an A rating on Angie’s List? Try us, you’ll be pleased you did. Call me, Bill Leys direct at 805-545-8300.

Watch as we install Desert Crete decking to some decks at a Habitat for Humanity project. Desert Crete is a Class A fire resistant rated roof and walkable deck assembly that meets/exceeds code requirements.
Let me show you why I say Desert Crete can’t be beat!
Our latest job in Pismo Beach was a Bay Cliff condo deck that had been “fixed” 2x before by other contractors who did not specialize in the correct installation of pedestrian traffic coatings. Yes twice fixed before.
This time around the Association hired Jim Carr Construction to fix this deck right. Jim had fixed a couple other decks in the complex and knew what he had to do-strip it down to plywood and then see what needed to be done after that.
Once the deck was stripped we found old degraded OSB board that was water damaged. Replacement was the only option here…
Off Jcame the old and Jim CARR Construction installed new 3/4″ exterior grade plywood blocked glued and screwed.
Once the plywood was in place we came in and flashed the edges walls and the posts. Desert Crete decking was installed to provide the Association with a deck that is Class A fire resistant and has a low maintenance cost, good for lowering reserve costs…
Once we waterproofed the deck in rough, Jim came back and finished waterproofing the posts and then built a sided in wall for exterior finish.
The job wasn’t cheaper but the lesson is great work doesn’t come cheap but great work costs less over time than cheap work.
Why put cheap no name brands on your valuable home, hotel, condo or apartment complex that don’t create value for you? Get the best deck waterproofing you can. Its advisable and yet its total cost of ownership is less. Ill prove if.

Job Profile-Correcting Ponding Water problems With Desert Crete
Our latest job was done in Morro Bay: a deck with a polyurethane coating had standing water sitting after every rainstorm and it wouldn’t drain for days…the walled in outside edge was flat and allowed standing water to fester.
The urethane system was also hard to clean and to keep clean. Leaves and dirt would accumulate too.
Our suggestion to solve the clients problems was to install Desert Crete Decking over the existing system and create a cricket in
the center and in the 2 corners to divert water to the scuppers.
Our Desert Crete system is perfect for your deck too; approved as a fire resistant and genuine traffic coating for walking decks, its perfect for your home, hotel or condo.
