Deck Waterproofing in Hermosa Beach
Durable waterproof coatings that protect walking decks, roof decks, and balconies from water intrusion.

One of the densest beach cities in the county, with salt air on every deck and very little room to work.
Hermosa Beach fits 10,038 housing units into a little over a square mile, more than 7,000 units per square mile, and just over 54 percent of the occupied ones are rented. That density is the job here. Buildings sit close, decks stack above one another, and access for a rebuild has to be worked out before anyone arrives with material.
Sitting directly on the Pacific with westerly sea breezes means salt is on these surfaces permanently. It is patient, unglamorous damage: fasteners, flashing and coating edges giving up years earlier than the same details would a few miles inland.
Average temperatures around 70 degrees in summer and 55 in winter mean surfaces here never get the hard bake that drives an inland deck dry. A wet lap stays wet longer, which is exactly the condition rot wants.
Roof decks are common on this stock, and a roof deck is a roof first. The waterproofing under the walking surface is protecting living space, not just a view, so the terminations at parapets, thresholds and railing posts carry the whole job.
We rebuild the structure where it has gone, fabricate the guardrails and stair sections in our own shop, and detail the metal for a marine environment rather than treating a beach deck like any other deck.

Worth knowing here: a project vests to the building code edition in effect when a complete building permit application and plan submittal are received, and planning approvals do not establish that vesting. A complete package matters more than an early partial one.

No. Hermosa Beach vests a project to the building code edition in effect when a complete building permit application and plan submittal are received. Planning approvals do not establish that date, which is why we file a complete set rather than an early partial one.
Because it never stops. Rain is seasonal, salt is not. It works on fasteners, flashing and coating edges year round, and combined with mild coastal temperatures that keep surfaces damp, it takes years off the details.
Normal for a city with over 7,000 housing units per square mile. We work out the material drop, the debris route and the walkway sequencing before day one, because there is no room to improvise once a crew is on site.
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.
