Challenge: Replacing an Aging Exterior Walk Deck

Exterior decks are constantly exposed to sun, moisture, temperature fluctuations, and daily foot traffic. Over time, these conditions can lead to deterioration of decking materials and compromise the waterproof barrier designed to protect the structure below.

For this Prescott residence, the existing deck system required complete replacement to ensure the deck could continue to perform safely and effectively. The project needed to address both the structural decking components and the waterproof surface system while creating a clean, attractive finished appearance.

Solution: Complete Deck Rebuild and Waterproof Coating Installation

The project began with the removal of the existing decking and deck sheathing to expose the underlying structure. New 3/4-inch tongue-and-groove plywood decking was installed to create a solid foundation for the waterproof deck system.

• Removed the existing deck surface and deck sheathing.
• Installed new 3/4-inch tongue-and-groove plywood decking.
• Secured decking with exterior-grade fasteners and subfloor adhesive.
• Installed drip edge and metal flashing components.
• Applied diamond mesh reinforcement.
• Installed multiple coats of Poly Coat 260 waterproofing material.
• Applied aggregate texture for durability and slip resistance.
• Finished the deck with two coats of Poly Glasser 100 protective coating.
• Completed detailed waterproofing transitions and edge protection.
• Performed thorough site cleanup and debris removal.

The Poly Deck system was selected because it provides a durable waterproof membrane designed to withstand exterior exposure while delivering an attractive finished surface suitable for everyday use.

Result: A Durable and Attractive Outdoor Living Space

The completed deck replacement provided the homeowner with a renewed outdoor space built on a strong structural foundation and protected by a professionally installed waterproof coating system. The new deck surface offers improved durability, weather resistance, and long-term protection against moisture intrusion.

Beyond the technical improvements, the project restored confidence in the safety and reliability of the outdoor living area. The homeowner can now enjoy the deck knowing it has been rebuilt with modern materials and a waterproofing system designed for lasting performance in Prescott’s climate.
