Cudahy already runs its own Exterior Elevated Elements inspection program, and we handle the repair side of it.
Cudahy packs 5,854 housing units into roughly a square mile, about 4,977 units per square mile. That density is almost entirely apartment buildings, and apartment buildings mean shared walkways, exterior stairs and stacked balconies. When one of those coatings fails the water does not stay put. It finds the unit below, then the framing, then the stairs everyone uses.
Nothing here stands empty either. Over 98 percent of units are occupied, the rental vacancy rate is 1.6 percent and the homeowner vacancy rate is zero. Every repair happens around people who live there, so access and a safe route to the street are part of the work.
Just under 18 percent of occupied units are owner occupied, so most of this work comes through owners and managers of income property. They want two things: a repair that closes an inspection finding, and a building not back on the same list next time.
We recoat those surfaces so they drain instead of ponding, so treads are not spongy underfoot, and so the waterproof layer is continuous where it meets a wall or a post. Where framing has gone, it comes out. Coating over wet wood is how a building does this twice.
Steel matters here too. These stairs corrode at the base and at the stringer connections, where water sits longest. We fabricate replacement stringers and precast treads rather than plating over steel that has lost its thickness.

Learn more →Cudahy runs its own Building and Safety Department, enforcing the building, plumbing, electrical and mechanical codes and providing inspection services and plan check. The city also publishes an Exterior Elevated Elements certification covering SB 721 and SB 326, which require inspection of weather exposed elements elevated more than six feet above adjacent grade. If an inspector handed you a report, we price the repairs off it and pull the permit, on buildings with three or more dwelling units as defined in the California Building Code.

Yes. Bring us the report, we scope the repairs off the findings, permit it through Cudahy Building and Safety, and get the work inspected against the city's Exterior Elevated Elements certification.
SB 721 and SB 326 require inspection and certification of weather exposed elements elevated more than six feet above the adjacent grade. In practice that is balconies, walkways, stairs and landings, which is what this city is built from.
No. Cudahy is over 98 percent occupied with a rental vacancy rate of 1.6 percent, so working around residents is the normal condition. We stage a walkway or stair in sections and keep a route in and out.
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.
