Waterproof Deck Coating on a balcony in a beautiful location on the coast of Southern California.
Got Decks? If so, SCD has got the right deck coating to meet your needs. We are certified installers in Southern California of some of the best deck coating systems available, including the Mer-Ko ( a.k.a Mer-Kote systems), which is important to you, the consumer, because different applications will require the installation of different coatings. Without having a contractor that has a wide array of coatings to choose from, you never know if you’re getting the right material for your project, or simply the only material that the contractor may be approved to install, or knows how to install for that matter. We have an example of the wrong way to apply a deck coating at the bottom of this page.
We do waterproofing and coating work throughout the entire Southern California area including construction, below grade, roof repair, balcony coating, epoxy coating work, pool decks, balcony, walkway, vehicular, and deck waterproofing / coatings. Maintenance, repairs, and new installations in West Los Angeles, the San Fernando Valley, Santa Monica, Orange, Riverside and Ventura counties are some of our local specialties

SCD used a Vulkem vehicular parking deck system for decorative and functional purposes, preventing water from leaking into sub-terrainian parking strucure.

This job was done in Los Angeles by SCD Coatings to repair a failed coating installation and the surface is now impurvious to water penetration and the “Tudor House Brown” color adds beauty to the surrounding buildings.

So if you have decking work, protect your investment with a coating installed by Southern California Coatings, Inc. Please feel free to contact any of our references as well as to take a look at a few of the installations on our more popular products

This system provides a slip resistant, waterproof walking surface that is isolated from substrate cracks. Waterproof flashing for drains, vertical surfaces, thresholds, as well as stress relief for thermal expansion are incorporated into the system. The thickness is approximately 3/16″-1/4″ (4.7 mm-6.35 mm) and presents few elevation problems at doors, landings, steps, etc.

WANT TO SEE WHAT NOT TO DO?

Here is a job we went to bid on where the previous company that installed the original deck coating tried to save money and shortcuted the job by never integrating the waterproof membrane properly. Therefore water saturated the plywood and the wire lath and began to rust and dry rot all the plywood and soak through the surface which required removal and replacement of the sub-structure. Don’t be fooled. Ask Southern California Decking how to show you the right way for it to be done. We will even be happy to review an existing bid for a job you are planning.
