Picture of the Weak (Week)







A few weeks ago I got a call from a client in Cambria; their deck up on the roof had "funny looking lines" and "cracks with rust coming out"

So of course I gotta see this. I drive up and find a urethane coated deck on the roof, ap 11 years old, original owner, never maintained or resealed.

The urethane has burned up, dried out and has split over the plywood seams, which were covered in metal strips first to cover over with the urethane. The metal strips have of course rusted, Cambria is on the ocean after all, and the deck now needs to be redone.

Resealing the urethane could have prevented the early demise of this deck...another lesson for the owners of urethane to maintain or pay...
