Durable waterproof coatings that protect walking decks, roof decks, and balconies from water intrusion.

Hillside decks between two mountain ranges, on lots where the oak trees have legal protection.
Two ranges frame this city. The Simi Hills on one side, the Santa Monica Mountains on the other, and the eastern Conejo Valley in between. Decks here are usually doing structural work as well as living space, stepping down a slope or reaching out over one, which puts the waterproof layer under constant movement and makes the drainage detail more important than the coating itself.
There is a local constraint worth knowing before a crew shows up. The city protects any oak with a trunk two inches across or larger, and the protected zone runs to the edge of the canopy plus another five feet. That footprint often covers exactly where you would stage material for a deck rebuild.
Of the 7,427 occupied homes here, 74.8 percent are owner occupied. That ratio shows up in the calls: an elevated deck off the back of the house, a long run of entry stairs, a balcony pushing water into the wall behind it.
A hillside deck rarely fails in the middle of the field. It fails at the building. Water gets behind the coating where the deck meets the wall, runs down the face of the ledger, and sits against the rim joist where nothing dries. The first symptom shows up somewhere else: a stain on the stucco below, a soft patch at a post base.
So we probe before we price. Soft plywood, a hollow sound at the edges, rust bleeding through at a railing post, moisture readings along the wall line. Sound substrate means a tear-off and a system rebuilt over corrected slope. Framing that has been drinking for years means a rebuild, and you should hear that before you pay for a surface sitting on rot.

Where the work falls inside an oak protected zone, the ground under the canopy plus five feet past the dripline, we build that into the access and staging plan.

It affects access and staging more than the deck. The protected zone covers the ground under the canopy plus five more feet, for any oak with a trunk two inches across or greater, and that is often where a crew would want to drop material.
Almost always the perimeter, not the field. A wall junction, a door threshold, a post penetration or a drain flange lets water past, and it travels the framing until it finds somewhere to show.
Sometimes. If the substrate is dry and the existing system is still bonded, prep and recoat is right. On a hillside deck that has been moving for twenty years it usually is not, and layering new material over a failed one means paying for the tear-off twice.
A professionally installed waterproofing system typically lasts many years. Capital Deck & Stair backs most projects with an 8-year warranty on workmanship, and proper maintenance can extend the life well beyond that.
Cost depends on the surface size, condition, and the coating system required. We provide a clear, itemized quote after a free on-site inspection, with no obligation and no pressure.
Most residential decks, balconies, and stairs take about a week from start to finish, depending on prep, repairs, and weather. We give you a firm timeline before work begins.
