Beach weather, every day
Huntington Beach homes get the full coastal treatment: salt air, fog, steady sun and wind off the water. It’s hard on coatings, flashing and anything metal. Downtown and near the water, a lot of homes have balconies and roof decks over living space, and inland, in neighborhoods like Huntington Harbour and the tracts off Beach Boulevard, decks and patio covers from the ’70s and ’80s are reaching the age where what’s underneath starts to give.
Our shop is a few minutes away in Costa Mesa, and we’ve worked here for decades.
What we do in Huntington Beach
Decks & Balconies
Waterproofing, repair and recoats, including decks over living space and the thresholds, drains and railing posts where coastal decks fail first.
Roofing
Tile, shingle and flat roof repair, inspections and replacements, with flashing and fasteners suited to salt air.
Waterproofing
Walkways, stairs, balconies and below-grade walls, done as one system from one manufacturer.
Balconies over living space
A balcony over a bedroom is a roof you walk on. When its waterproofing wears through, water doesn’t drip off the edge; it soaks into the plywood and framing and shows up inside, sometimes months later. Near the beach the metal goes first: rusting railing posts and drains crack the coating around them.
We open up anything soft, replace damaged wood, flash the door threshold, posts and drains, then install a complete system on sound wood.

Roofing in Huntington Beach, start to finish
Huntington Beach roofs take salt air, marine layer and full sun, often on the same day. Here’s the full list of roof work we do in Huntington Beach.
Repairs & leak tracing
Cracked or slipped tiles, worn underlayment, failed flashing. We find where the water is actually getting in and fix that layer, not just the spot you can see.
Inspection & maintenance
A check once a year and after big storms catches small problems while they’re still small. You get photos of what we found.
Coatings & restoration
On sound flat and low-slope roofs, a reflective coating adds years and keeps the building cooler. On tile roofs we can often keep your tile and replace what’s under it.
New roofs & re-roofing
When repair stops making sense, we replace it: tile, shingle and flat roofs, built to code and cleaned up when we’re done.
Commercial roofing
Flat and low-slope roofs on offices, retail and multi-family buildings, scheduled around your tenants.

Questions we hear in Huntington Beach
How do I know if my balcony is leaking into the house?
Stains on the ceiling below, peeling paint, soft spots underfoot, rust at the railing posts or cracks in the coating. If you see any of them, it’s worth a look before the rains.
How often should a deck near the beach be recoated?
It depends on sun, foot traffic and the system on it. Near the water we’d rather check it every few years than wait for a leak, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it needs work yet.
Do you work in HOA communities?
Yes. We work with homeowners and HOAs alike, and we’re glad to walk a board or property manager through what we found.
Do you charge for estimates?
No. Estimates are free, in writing, after we’ve looked at the job.
Are you licensed?
Yes. Crank Waterproofing is a licensed California contractor, CA License #1038420.
How much should I pay for a roofer in Huntington Beach?
It depends on the size of the roof, the material, the pitch, and what we find under it. We come out for free, show you photos of what we found and give you a written estimate, so you’re comparing real numbers, not guesses.
Why hire a licensed contractor instead of a handyman?
A licensed contractor is accountable for the work: licensed, insured, and required to build to code. Roofs and waterproofing fail at the details, like flashing, underlayment and transitions, and that’s where a licensed crew that does this every day earns its price. We’re licensed, CA License #1038420.
Can a general contractor replace a roof?
Who you hire matters more than the title. A roof should be replaced by a licensed contractor whose crew does roofing every day. That’s us: Crank Waterproofing is a licensed California contractor, CA License #1038420, and roofing is a core part of our work.
