Saw this deck in LA with moss growing vigorously around the base of this clay pot. The owner loved the effect, I loved that the deck repair costs were going to be around $5,000.00.

Excellent Article in this Month's "Journal of Architectural Coatings"
Here's a good article that appears in this months Journal of Architectural Coatings, from Paul Allenstein of Kemper Systems, Inc on the time tested and highly effective "Liquid Applied Reinforced Polymeric Membrane, or fiberglass and specialized resin in layman's terms. Fiberglass/resin technology has been used for years. Now this article discusses it's usefulness on green roof waterproofing...

How Many Problems Can You Find?
This big REIT bought this apartment community...they had it professionally inspected before purchasing. After they bought, they started getting complaints about leaks, ponding water, yadda yadda yadda...
I inspected the Community in Oxnard a little while ago. Every deck I inspected had some sort of problem on it, if not 2 or 3 or more problems of various sorts.
Take a look at the pics, see how many defects and problems you can spot!
Our estimate for cost of repairs to apx 150 decks-potentially 2-3 million dollars.
Moral of the story-call us to inspect any decks on any property you may be considering purchasing. Apx cost to inspect-less than $5,000.00.
If they knew what problems these decks had, they could have either canceled the sale or negoitated better terms and price.

Picture of the Week
So I was inspecting this HOA in LA on S Beverley Glen...
On the deck of one unit I was amazed to see this little survivor growing out of the rusted out railing base.
Maybe they should inspect and maintain a little more often?
