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

Three quarters of NoHo rents, so most of this work is on buildings someone else lives in.
Renters occupy 75.4 percent of the housing stock in North Hollywood, with owners at 24.6 percent. That single figure sets the tone for the work here. It is overwhelmingly shared exterior surfaces: the walkway serving a floor of units, the open stair everyone uses, the balcony sitting above another family's ceiling.
For an owner the math is straightforward. Those surfaces carry traffic every day and cannot be closed for long, so the repair has to be staged. And a stair tread that has gone soft is a liability exposure that grows quietly until somebody is hurt.
NoHo sits in the San Fernando Valley, where the heat does the damage. Months of daily thermal movement lift edges and open up penetrations, then winter rain finds every one of them at once. Failures here trace back to the dry season far more often than to the storm that revealed them.
Where it actually enters is predictable. The door threshold, the base of a railing post, and the joint where the walkway ties into the building account for most of the leaks we chase in this neighborhood. The field of the deck is rarely the problem, which is why a fresh coat over the field so often changes nothing.
On occupied buildings we work in sections, protect what stays in service, and hand each run back before opening the next. Nobody should be climbing over a barricade to get home.

Learn more →North Hollywood is not a separate city. West Lankershim was annexed to the City of Los Angeles in 1919, with Lankershim proper and non-proper joining in 1923, so there is no local building department. Permitting, plan check, inspection and code enforcement all run through the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety. We file with LADBS and sequence the work so residents keep a safe way in and out.

No. West Lankershim was annexed to the City of Los Angeles in 1919 and Lankershim proper and non-proper joined in 1923, so permits, plan check and inspection all run through LADBS.
Yes. With renters in 75.4 percent of the housing stock, occupied-building work is the norm here. We phase it by run and hand each section back before opening the next.
It did not. Valley heat opens edges and penetrations over months of daily movement. The rain simply found all of them on the same day and took the blame for a summer's worth of damage.
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.
