Rock Beats Scissors & Our Concrete DESERT CRETE Easily Beats DeckTech’s Polyurea Granite Deck
Educated clients make my job easier; and when educated clients have ALL the information they need to make the right decision, they usually chose Desert Crete over our local competitors products.
Take for example our latest project we just signed, a Morro Bay home that has some leak issues, needs some sloping and needs to meet building code requirements by having a Class A fire retardant deck system. Our clients had met with DeckTech, Inc of Grover Beach. They liked the finish and were getting ready to sign on when the contractor who built their house told them about our Desert Crete and that they should consider our product too.
A referral to us from a builder is like gold; builders know what works and what doesn’t. This builder had seen some failures with DeckTech’s Granite Deck II system on his own projects and has had experience with our product and experienced ZERO failures using Desert Crete.
Our clients on Greenwood in Morro Bay saw our product, read our websites and did their research; and when they were finished, they selected Desert Crete over Granite Deck II. They realized that Granite Deck did not have an ICC report proving it’s manufacturer’s claims, it was not fire retardant in accordance with AC-39, the governing document on Pedestrian Traffic Coatings and the “warranty” was really just a ten year maintenance agreement.
Look for us next week on the 2000 block of Greenwood, providing our next client with a proven code compliant fire retardant deck system.
Concrete decking systems beat any other coating system hands down in durability, life spans, ease of maintenance, costs of ownership and every other criteria applicable to deck systems over plywood.
Call us and see why, we can bring you our local competitors coating samples to let you compare head on…Call me, Bill Leys at 805-545-8300.

A recent job on Vista Del Mar in Shell Beach came to us from a competitors failure to call his client back and say he was late. The client was waiting at the property to meet our competitor andd was being stood up.
Sitting around wasn’t Dave Carton’s strong suit and he found a phone book and called us from the job asking “Can you come over now?” We could and did and looked at the deck, gave a bid and took the job from our competitor. Victory goes to the fleet of foot…and those who call back.
Though the deck wasn’t the largest, we still have to waterproof them right. We showed our Dave Carton our Desert Crete decking, explained the differences between our system and our competitors and sewed up the deal by matching our competitors price (we were $70.00 more) .
The very next day, we came in and flashed the wood posts, flashed the edges and then installed Desert Crete to 80 square feet of area.
Our client is impressed and you will be too with Desert Crete installed by Central Coast Waterproofing. We are now bidding two more jobs with Dave and look forward to working with him for a long time.

MB Piper Construction ain’t afraid of no roof deck…
and neither should you!
Not when your deck has been treated right and given a beauty treatment by Central Coast Waterproofing.
Our latest project we just completed is a remodel of a home on Greenwood in Morro Bay. The home sat on the hill but didn’t have much of a view. Raissing up the house and building a deck on the front to get a view was the answer!
MB Piper Construction was tasked with the job and Matthew Piper knew he needed a permanent solution to waterproof his deck. MB Piper had worked with us before on several other projects so Matthew had the answer; Central Coast Waterproofing and Desert Crete.
Six months ago we came in during the rough construction phase and dried in the deck, installing a construction coat of Desert Crete fire retardant Class A decking. While other trades built the house, the deck was protected from water intrusion without having to be covered and protected like some of our competitors prima donna weak deck systems do.
After the house was done and finishes completed, we came back and applie dour finish-in this case a low knockdown texture and 2 coats of Desert Brand sealer in Slate Grey.
When your project demands excellence, call us, we will give you the best decking system (IMO) out there!
See why I say Desert Crete can’t be beat.
Just ask Matthew Piper who he prefers for his decking projects…

Looks good, but leaks underneath need fixin’
We are proud to announce that we were awarded the contract to waterproof stem walls of a garage as well as the elevated plywood covered driveway/deck of a home in Avila Beach by Pacific Builders of San Luis Obispo.
The job entail using Kryton Crystalline Waterproofing on the stem walls abutting an adjoining property that is at a higher elevation, causing runoff from the property to intrude through the walls and into framing on the other side.
Kryton is perfect for jobs like this as it can waterproof concrete on both the positive and the negative sides.
The deck waterproofing for the driveway will use the Mer-Kote ARC below grade waterproofing system with fabric reinforcement and sheet metal flashing, combined with Schluter Troba drain mat with a 3″ concrete driveway overburden poured on top.
The work is scheduled to begin in early June. Watch for pictures!
Job Profile-Walnut Creek Decks Get Mer-Kote Waterproofing Under 3000#’s of Concrete Overburden
This slideshow requires JavaScript.
Our latest job took us to Walnut Creek, a few miles east of Oakland/Berkeley. The aging apartment complex has side by side decks with a privacy wall in between, covered with a 2″ thick concrete overburden. The old hot mop underneath had failed, dried up from heat and time evaporating the oil based material and allowing water to intrude into the framing.
The general contractor had to perform substantial repairs to the framing before we could do any waterproofing. Beams, joists and plywood all had to be replaced when the hidden damage was discovered during demolition.
After the repairs had all been made, the flashings installed and the decks were ready for us, we installed Mer-Kote ARC under tile waterproofing with reinforcement on the flashings and the horizontal surfaces.
As the concrete on top is not being waterproofed, we then installed a drain mat from Schluter, called Troba, that allows water to drain freely off the deck under the concrete. After the Troba is laid down, we cut and fit reinforcing wire for the concrete to be poured on top.
Then the concrete truck and pumper arrived and we began the process of pumping 3000#’s of concrete 30 feet high and spread it out and troweled out to a broom finished walking surface. Quite the day moving that mud around!
The deck is completed and now is ready again for the tenants to use for their outdoor summer enjoyment.
Give your property the best in waterproofing and decking with Mer-Kote and Central Coast Waterproofing.

We are on a job where a concrete overburden will be placed over our waterproof membrane. We’ve installed the Mer-Kote ARC under tile waterproofing system on the plywood and have now placed Schluter Troba (the orange stuff) drain board on top. Since water will pass through the concrete the drain board will allow subsurface water to drain out off the edges. Note on top of the drain board is wire reinforcing for the 2″ concrete bed we’ll place today. Watch for more pics when we post a job profile.
Today we worked in the morning, then while materials were curing, we went to the ball game. Oakland A’s vs. Toronto Blue Jay’s. Nothing like a cold beer and a ballgame at a great park with great fans. Thank you Billy Bean!
