RAINY SEASON HAS ARRIVED!
FALL IS HERE! RAIN TOO!
Here's 5 Quick Tips to Keep Dry and Warm This Winter
1.) Clear leaves and debris off.
2.) Clear scuppers and drains of debris. Flush the drain and make sure the pipe is clear.
3.) Plants/pots should not cover drains. Put them up on raised pot feet.
4.) Inspect the deck for cracks, rusting flashings, missing caulk around posts. Paint or seal all wood posts.
5.) If you have leaks, call us today. Fast free estimates anywhere in California.
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.

2011 in review
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.

Job Profile-Repairing Spyglass Ridge IV Decks
Central Coast Waterproofings latest job was in Pismo Beach CA on Mattie Road.
Spyglass Ridge IV, an HOA built approximately 6-7 years ago had some problems with posts penetrating their deck waterproofing. The deck coating is performing as it should be but the problem was the posts had flashing around them that did nothing to stop water from soaking into and through the wood. All the flashings did was allow the coating to terminate at the post to the metal. Poor design by the architect is my opinion…
The decks substrate had begun dryrotting as where the decorative posts and wood trim under the substrate that was exposed below.
Substantial renovations by carpenters were required before repairs to the waterproofing could be done.
After the repairs were completed, Central Coast Waterproofings staff began the process of repairing the waterproofing membrane and re-finishing the deck surfaces.
This serves as another lesson on why wood posts should NEVER penetrate waterproofing without being waterproofed too.
Make sure your next project gets detailed right. Call the pros at Central Coast Waterproofing first!
