We don’t build on bad bones
Southern California is hard on a house: sun, salt air, winter storms and everyday wear. Most leaks start where you can’t see them, at the flashing, the door threshold, the wood under a deck or the base of a wall. The quick fix is to cover it up. We open it up first, show you what we found, and tell you what it really needs, even when that makes our bid higher than someone else’s.
Every job gets one manufacturer’s system from start to finish, installed by people who’ve done this for decades, and we stand behind the work. If something goes wrong, we don’t disappear.
What we do
Decks & Concrete
New deck construction, structural repairs and dry rot, deck repair, maintenance and coatings, Desert Crete waterproof deck systems, railings, concrete resurfacing, walkway and stair coatings, and epoxy garage floors.
Waterproofing
Decks, balconies over living space, walkways, stairways and exterior surfaces, plus below-grade and foundation waterproofing. We find where the water gets in and pick the system that will last, not just the one that covers it.
Roofing
Inspections, repairs and replacements for homes and commercial buildings: tile and flat roof repair, synthetic underlayment, silicone roof coatings and waterproof roofing systems.
Also in Los Angeles: decks, roofing & waterproofing. Leaking now? Same-day emergency roof repair.
Same building since 1945
Crank started in Costa Mesa in 1945, and the business has worked out of the same building on Commercial Way ever since. The Crank family ran it for decades. Today it’s run by Adam and Rocky, two South County guys who grew up in the trades and kept the Crank name because it had earned its reputation.
The crew is family, friends and people the owners have known for years, and more than 90% of our work comes from repeat customers and referrals, built one job, one conversation and one customer at a time.

Common questions
How do I know if my property needs waterproofing?
Water stains, cracks in concrete, peeling or cracked coatings, soft spots on a deck, rust at railing posts, mold or standing water are the common signs. An inspection finds the problem before it becomes a costly repair.
How often should a deck waterproofing system be maintained?
Have it looked at about once a year and recoated when the top coat wears. Regular maintenance is what makes a deck system last.
