Who wants a leaky deck? Who wants to be strolling around their garage looking for an umbrella during a rainstorm and get an unwanted shower? Not me. Not you. Not the deck-waterproofing experts at Prestige Deck Coating.

At Prestige, we use a virtually invincible 6-level system that stands up against even the heaviness of downpours. The key to eliminating leakage and insuring a watertight deck is the 1st level: the corners.

What that means is securing the perimeter. Like in war or sports, when you secure the perimeter, nothing can get out, it is trapped. The same is true for waterproofing your deck. At Prestige, we eliminate any possibility for water to escape and give you that unwanted and untimely shower. After we secure the perimeter of your deck with proper flashing installation, water on your deck has only one place to go: in the drain. To execute this vital goal, we use only custom fitted and situational specific metal flashing. Both on the deck surface and high up the walls, the 90 degree waterproof flashing is cut and fabricated to adhere to your deck in a  seamless fashion. It is fastened tight to the floorboards and walls studs with industry grade power staples and galvanized deck nails. We at Prestige, secure your perimeter.

How will this insure a waterproof deck, you may ask? Great question. Once the flashing is securely in place, snuggling the deck corners/wall joint, out comes the sealant. We use only top-notch industry grade waterproofing sealant, and we spare no cost to provide our customers with a flush and firmly adhered perimeter. Any overlaps in the flashing are caked with sealant to maximize waterproof capability. Then we smooth out the lines for an added aesthetic flair, that doubles as a flat surface on which to lay the next layer of the waterproofing system. The team at Prestige double and triple checks your deck’s perimeter to insure that no pin-prick hole is overlooked! This is the necessary preparation for the next crucial level of our waterproofing system: the 2.5 diamond shaped galvanized metal lathe foundation.

The secure perimeter is crucial for maintaining a waterproof deck. The team at Prestige is knowledgeable and courteous, and up to the challenge of giving your custom deck a long, dry life.
