Bluff-top property above the Pacific, on a peninsula with a very long landslide history.
The Portuguese Bend area of the Palos Verdes Peninsula has a landslide history going back 250,000 years, a useful reminder that on this ground, keeping water out of the soil is not only about protecting a deck. Rancho Palos Verdes occupies the bluffs of that peninsula and the Palos Verdes Hills, neighboring Palos Verdes Estates, Rolling Hills, Rolling Hills Estates, Torrance and San Pedro.
A deck that sheds water without directing it is putting that water into the hillside. On a peninsula with documented land movement, that is the last place you want it. The drainage design carries more weight here than the coating choice, so we look at where the water ends up rather than just where it leaves the surface.
About 80 percent of occupied homes are owner occupied across 16,179 housing units, and these are properties where decks and terraces are built for the view. That usually means large spans, cantilevered structure and long stair runs down a slope.
Long spans move. Where a cantilevered deck meets the building, that movement works the joint, and a rigid coating carried across it splits sooner or later. We detail that junction to take movement instead of pretending it will not happen.
Bluff top property also takes ocean air head on. Fasteners, flashing and guardrail anchors corrode faster than they do a few miles inland, so the metal gets specified and detailed for the exposure and fabricated in our own shop when it needs replacing.

That last part is not boilerplate on this peninsula, and it is one more reason to have the drainage worked out before a submittal goes in rather than after.

Because of what is under the property. The Portuguese Bend area of this peninsula has a landslide history going back 250,000 years, so water put into the hillside is a bigger problem than water on a deck.
Building and Safety coordinates geological and soils evaluations as part of its work alongside plan review, permitting and inspections. On bluff top property that coordination is worth planning for early.
Because that is where movement concentrates. A long span deflects, the building does not, and a rigid coating carried straight across the joint splits. We detail that junction to accept movement instead of resisting it.
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.
