If you have an older wooden deck or if you have a cement patio area or outdoor living space that is starting to look worse for wear you may think your only option is a full replacement. However, if the structure itself is still sound, you may want to choose professionally applied residential waterproofing.
The same is true if you are building a new deck or patio and want it to last for years without the constant need to keep staining, treating, sealing and coating. Residential waterproofing products can be used to create just the look you want and provide you with years of worry-free use.
The Problem with Do-It-Yourself Products
If you see residential waterproofing products in your local hardware or paint store, you may be tempted to apply the product yourself. After all, if you read the label it seems simple and easy, typically just roll on and let dry.
The problem is these do-it-yourself residential waterproofing compounds typically don’t stand up the same as the professional grade products available only to trained and certified contractors. The reason these products aren’t available to the general public is they have to be applied in a very precise way to ensure complete bonding with the surface. This bonding through careful preparation of the surface and correct application techniques is what keeps the surface looking great for so long.
Your Options
When it comes to professionally applied residential waterproofing in Madison WI, there is a huge range of different options in colors, surface textures and even designs possible. With professional application it can be applied to mimic the look of tiles and pavers, transferring your drab cement patio or deck area into what looks like a tiled masterpiece.
However, unlike tile, you don’t have to worry about damage from impact, chips, scratches or even damage from intense heat or cold. This material can even be extended from your deck or patio to walkways, sidewalks, driveways and outdoor stairs to give a very uniform and custom designed look. This is all done at a fraction of the cost of actual tiles or expensive concrete work.
Last but not least, residential waterproofing will extend the life of a new deck or a renovation to an existing outdoor area. With full protection from moisture and heat, this will add years to your concrete or wood surfaces outside, and you won’t have to keep working on it every year to keep it looking great.
