Local Santa Maria "Company" Using Someone Else's License on their Website

I found a new website from a "company" called Nor Cal Deck Waterproofing advertising deck coatings in Santa Maria, serving San Luis Obispo county among others. The license they advertise is a license belonging to West Coast Deck Waterproofing of Los Angeles. 

This company is not licensed from what i could see on CSLB's website and they don't even have a license application pending either. The link above shows the license listing info. 

Watch out for fraudulent license usage and protect yourself by always checking the license out and calling CSLB if you have questions on the validity of a license. 

This person probably won't have insurance or workers comp either-putting you at serious risk of financial liability of a worker got hurt at your home or business. 

What kind of work can you expect from someone using a license number that belongs to someone else as their own? Can you really trust them? You decide...

An Open Letter to DeckTech-Nevada Coating System Granite Deck fire test report request

Dear Ron,

As per your invite on your blog, and on behalf of our readers at DeckExpert.com and CentralCoastWaterproofing.com, I would like to request a copy of any UL or other certified lab's reports verifying that Granite Deck is Class A rated in accordance with ASTM E-108 or UL 790 as required by CA Building code for decks acting as roofs. Please forward copies to me at the email address or by mail to our business located at Central Coast Waterproofing 405 E Branch St Ste O Arroyo Grande CA 93420.  

I'm the only "self proclaimed expert and company that is calling out the lies your telling. If there's something I said that's not true, you and ole Dave Krubinski would have sued me by now...but he knows and so do you, that what I've stated is fact and fact is an absolute defense against libel. So I pray, please list what I've said that is wrong about NCS Granite Deck. 

Granite Deck has no listing at ICC-ES Div 7 Pedestrian Traffic Coatings. Hasn't been tested under Acceptance Criteria 39. 

According to two court cases I've seen about Krubinksi, he's a liar under oath. (Krubinski vs Schmutzer "A plain reading of the declaration and Krubinski's deposition testimony reflects that contrary to what was stated in his declartion, Krubinski did not witness the breaking of the locks on the storage facility. Accordingly, Schmutzers comment that Krubinski signed a false declaration under penalty of perjury is true....

and REFCO-"Krubinski was a witness in this proceeding, one the Court finds to have testified in a generally incredible manner.")

 I'd love to subpoena his documents and depose him if he ever decides to sue me...and hit him with another anti-SLAPP. 

BTW, I have never applied to be an applicator of NCS. Ever. I don't deal with shady people. 

Oh, your buddy Dave, he has a D-12 license. 

6990 Stellar Drive Rancho Mirage looks like it's quite the manufacturing facility doesn't it? In an HOA of all things. Does the HOA know that Dave is making NCS in the garage??? Oh that's right, he buys Carboline and repackages it to say NCS. What a hoot. 

C'mon by 405 E Branch St in AG anytime you want, see our displays out front of our showroom. But make an appt first if you'd like to view our interior flooring gallery.

International Roof Expo Presents-Content Is King: Evaluating Decks for Waterproofing Applications

Very good seminar coming up on waterproofing concrete decks...

Waterproofing is like playing on the offensive line in football: If you do your job right, no one notices you. If you fail, the result is usually disaster.

At the upcoming International Roofing Expo (IRE) in San Antonio, waterproofing will be the subject of a seminar led by three principals at WJE Engineers and Architects, P.C.: Christopher Giffin, Richard Koziol and Douglas Stieve. Titled "Evaluation of New and Existing Decks for Plaza and Green Roof Waterproofing Systems," the seminar will be held Thursday, Feb, 7,from7:45 a.m. - 9:15 a.m.

Douglas Stieve gave me a preview of the session and answered some of my questions aboutthe importance of the substrate in the performance of a waterproofing system.

"The substrate or deck of a waterproofing system can be likened to the foundation for a building. It should be robust and stable," Stieve said. "Most waterproofing systems are intended to last the life of the structure to which they are installed. It is not a system that will be recovered or replaced in 15 to 20 years, like a roofing system might be. Therefore, the substrate needs to be matched with and conducive to the intended service life of the membrane."

Here's a portion of the interview:

 

RC: How can contractors evaluate the suitability of a concrete deck prior to application of the waterproofing system?

DS:The structural components of the deck should be evaluated by a qualified and competent person knowledgeable in structural systems. For new buildings, the deck needs to be dry, sound, and have the proper surface profile for the selected waterproofing system.

Conference at CCNY to Explore ‘Waterproofing New York’

Daylong event February 9 examines storm protection opportunities that incorporate multiple infrastructure systems

After experiencing two destructive tropical storms in as many years, New York City finds itself forced to adapt to the reality of catastrophic weather events resulting from climate change. However, it cannot rely on simple fixes. Rather, it needs to create new urban landscapes with the capacity to negotiate social, cultural, and environmental forces, argues Denise Hoffman-Brandt, associate professor of landscape architecture in City College's Spitzer School of Architecture.
 
Professor Hoffman-Brandt and Professor Catherine Seavitt Nordenson are the organizers of "Waterproofing New York," a daylong conference to explore the impact of past and future storms on five key infrastructure systems: water/waste, power/data, circulation/fuel, parks and recreation, and shelter. The event runs 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Saturday, February 9, at the Spitzer School of Architecture, 141 Convent Ave., New York, N.Y. 10031. It is free and open to the public. Attendees are requested to RSVP on the event Facebook page.
