Orange County decks face a mix of sun, rain, and temperature changes that wreak havoc on unprotected surfaces. Without a protective waterproof deck coating, water seeps through cracks, rots wood, delaminates materials, and results in structural damage if left unchecked. Choosing the right coating maintains the deck’s appearance while protecting the deck materials.

Homeowners and property managers across Southern California trust the Desert Crete system to protect their decks. This waterproofing system checks all the boxes. It provides strength, beauty, and longevity, just what you look for in a waterproof deck coating.

Durability and Longevity

Any waterproof deck coating worth applying must provide durability. The coating needs to resist UV damage, temperature swings, and foot traffic without cracking or peeling. Coatings that look good at first but fail after a few seasons aren’t worth the effort required to apply the product.

High-performance systems like Desert Crete offer decades of protection. Desert Crete utilizes multiple layers of protection to create a watertight barrier that still flexes to move with the deck. When professionally applied, it provides durable protection that outlasts single-layer options.

Slip Resistance and Safety

A beautiful deck should provide a safe place to enjoy the great Orange County weather. But water from a sprinkler, a splash from the pool, or even early morning dew might create a slippery surface without the right coating. Look for a waterproof deck coating that provides additional traction without feeling rough on the feet.

Desert Crete coatings offer customizable texture options that keep homes and businesses safe when wet. Whether it’s a condo walkway, a family deck, or the stairs to an office, simply adjust the finish to provide the right amount of slip resistance. Even pool decks stay comfortable underfoot when pros like Crank Waterproofing, Decking, and Roofing apply the coating.

Finish, Color, and Design Flexibility

Don’t sacrifice style for function. Modern waterproof deck coatings like Desert Crete offer infinite customization. In the hands of a professional installer, these waterproofing systems can be tinted, stamped, textured, or otherwise manipulated to match your design vision.  Get the look of stone, tile, brick, or textured concrete and a watertight finish to boot.

Use the application of a waterproof coating as an opportunity to update the look of a walkway, patio, balcony, or driveway. Make plain concrete look like basketweave brick.  Get a flagstone pool deck without replacing the existing deck.

If you can dream it, Crank Waterproofing, Decking, and Roofing takes Desert Crete and makes it happen.  The result is an easy-to-care-for concrete surface that looks beautiful and stands up to the elements.
