Job Profile-Rock View Morro Bay Remodel Gets Rocked With Desert Crete
Our second project that we completed this week was the flashing and waterproofing of 190 sq foot deck, stairs and 2 landings on a remodel in Morro Bay CA.
Builder Marcos Cisneros was presented a choice of Tufflex by a competitor and Desert Crete from us.
When I made my presentation to Marcos I was able to show him my sample of Desert Crete along with samples of Tufflex. When compared side by side and the pros and cons discussed of each system, it quickly became apparent to Marcos that Desert Crete was they way to go.
Being Class A fire resistant, having an ICC-ES report proving its code compliant, and being able to be installed without fear of damaging the coating won Marcos over.
This week we flashed the deck and stairs, installed scuppers on the deck and installed Desert Crete to everything. The finish will be applied when all of the building is done. We will be the last or nearly last contractor back to finish. Meanwhile a rugged construction coat protects this job.
Need rugged good looking coatings that are fire resistant? Call me, Bill Leys at 805-545-8300 for a free estimate today. You’ll be glad you did.

Job Profile-Posts Penetrating Deck Waterproofing Bring Expensive Repair Bill to Owner
I am a true convert…follow me and you to will be saved from the hell of dry-rot, termites and a bill that was 5x more than the original quote.
I say to you do not let posts penetrate a deck without ensuring that they are waterproofed with a post cover and cap system. This isn’t an ad or promotion for Trex or Lowes but Trex make some great covers that slide right down over a 4×4 post. Lowes in Paso carries them.
Our job here started our innocently enough to open and inspect one loose post, fix a couple cracks and the clean and repaint the deck. We started by opening the post and that’s where the job started escalating in price. The post was a metal sleeve that wasn’t flashed and it and 3 others out of 7 had dryrot in the joist areas from moisture intrusion.
The whole deck ended up being torn off to the joists. Dry-rot in several joists from water intrusion, improper blocking of edges and plywood installed in the wrong direction relative to the joist layout all conspired to doom this deck.
Being in Cambria fire country, the home was built with stucco, metal roof and concrete decking. Desert Crete is the perfect replacement, being Class A rated for fire resistance.
All the plywood was replaced, new posts with Trex sleeves replaces the old metal sleeves, and properly blocked, glued and screwed, our client has a well built and waterproofed deck.
The challenges in waterproofing decks are many and leaving this important job to amateurs is risky.
Don’t play with fire, get the right company to do your job right!

Amex Newsletter Asks CCW What We Do On Rainy Days
Recently we responded to a reporters inquiries as to what contractors who work outdoors do on rainy days. American Express’ just published this last week…
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.
