This project is an owner builder that made the right decisions in the right order. The first time we met they had a clear mission - "Get the deck waterproofed before the weather turns." As they were going over the colors and designs (there are more then 20) the options were how low can we keep the price Vs do we want a deck that will compliment the beauty of our home.

I think a big turning point for them was the simple realization that they would only be spending money on their deck once for the next couple of decades. That's one of the great things about using the Duradek walkable membrane.

Last a very long time
Easy to clean

Repairable

No ongoing maintenance programs

So many color choices you can match any color scheme

One of the keys to success is using the right products like plywood. To often we see projects where the owners went cheap and used OSB rather than plywood, they did save a few dollars a sheet but the risk is a delamintaing surface that will look horrible. Here you can see they installed the plywood right up to the wall so the membrane would turn up the wall nice and tight.

Below you can see a great example of taking the time to do it right. The sheet by the door was short about an inch. Rather than spreading that inch out along the several sheets in that area they simple cut a piece to fit and glued and screwed it in place.

Maybe another comfort for them was we are a local company who stands behind our work and the installers. When we first met I had told them a representative would be on site during the prep and installation to make sure all was being done right. They were happy to see us on the job and lending a hand in a couple tricky spots, that's the way we do it.
