Vehicular deck coatings. Engineered for the load.

Parking decks fail at the deck-to-deck joint.

Specifics matter.

What about water leaking through the deck?

+

If water is getting through the deck currently, that's a structural waterproofing issue — not a coating issue. We assess the substrate first: are joints failed, are spalls open to rebar, is hydrostatic pressure present? Repair scope (joint reconstruction, spall repair, sometimes structural waterproofing membrane) is quoted before the deck coating spec. Coating over an actively leaking deck is the wrong sequence and we won't do it.

Can you stripe the deck while it's in service?

+

Yes — we phase nightly installs with one to two parking levels at a time, OSHA striping installed in-coating with the floor system. Garage stays operational on the unaffected levels. Polyaspartic returns to service in 24 hours. Full structure typically installs in 2–4 weeks of phased nightly work; the garage never fully closes.

What's the lifespan of a deck coating?

+

Properly installed polyaspartic deck system with aggregate: 15–25 years on the wear surface. Solid epoxy with urethane top coat: 20–30 years. The joint detailing, not the deck coating, is usually what determines lifespan — failed joint becomes a leak path that destroys the surrounding coating. We over-spec the joints and inspect them on every project.

Coastal SoCal — what about salt air?

+

Coastal parking structures (Long Beach, Newport, Oceanside, Ventura) take chloride exposure that drives rebar corrosion and spalling. We spec chloride-blocking primer and a breathable top coat that releases moisture outward without admitting salt inward. Existing chloride contamination of the slab is measured before coating; severely contaminated decks may need chloride extraction or sacrificial cathodic protection before coating is viable.
