Ocean views come with ocean weather
Dana Point homes are built for the view: decks, balconies and big glass facing the water, often on hillsides. That same exposure means salt air, wind-driven rain and sun working on every coating, railing and flashing detail.
Up on the hills in Monarch Beach and Capistrano Beach, decks are often stacked over living space, and gravity sends any leak straight into the framing.
What we do in Dana Point
Decks & Balconies
Waterproofing, repair and recoats for ocean-view decks, with glass and cable railing posts flashed properly.
Roofing
Tile, shingle and flat roof repair, inspections and replacements, with materials suited to salt air.
Waterproofing
Balconies over living space, walkways, stairs and below-grade walls on hillside homes.
What salt air does to a deck
Near the water, the coating usually isn’t the first thing to go. It’s the metal: railing posts, fasteners, flashing and drain fittings. When they rust, they swell and crack the waterproofing around them, and water gets into the framing.
On every coastal job we check the metal and the connections, not just the surface, and we use materials meant for salt air.
For decks with a view: clear railings that keep the view and the Desert Crete system on coastal decks.
We don’t build on bad bones.We’d rather lose a bid than put new work on top of an old problem.
Roofing in Dana Point, start to finish
Salt air, sun and wind off the water are hard on every roof in Dana Point, tile and flat alike. Here’s the full list of roof work we do in Dana Point.
Repairs & leak tracing
Cracked or slipped tiles, worn underlayment, failed flashing. We find where the water is actually getting in and fix that layer, not just the spot you can see.
Inspection & maintenance
A check once a year and after big storms catches small problems while they’re still small. You get photos of what we found.
Coatings & restoration
On sound flat and low-slope roofs, a reflective coating adds years and keeps the building cooler. On tile roofs we can often keep your tile and replace what’s under it.
New roofs & re-roofing
When repair stops making sense, we replace it: tile, shingle and flat roofs, built to code and cleaned up when we’re done.
Commercial roofing
Flat and low-slope roofs on offices, retail and multi-family buildings, scheduled around your tenants.

Questions we hear in Dana Point
Can you waterproof a deck with glass railings without removing them?
Often yes. It depends on how the posts are mounted. We look at how the railing meets the deck, because that’s where water gets in, and tell you whether it needs to come off.
My deck is over a bedroom on a hillside. What should I watch for?
Ceiling stains, soft spots, cracks in the coating and rust at the posts or drains. On hillside homes water travels, so where it shows up isn’t always where it’s getting in.
Do you work in HOA communities?
Yes. We work with homeowners and HOAs alike.
Do you charge for estimates?
No. Estimates are free, in writing, after we’ve looked at the job.
Are you licensed?
Yes. Crank Waterproofing is a licensed California contractor, CA License #1038420.
How much should I pay for a roofer in Dana Point?
It depends on the size of the roof, the material, the pitch, and what we find under it. We come out for free, show you photos of what we found and give you a written estimate, so you’re comparing real numbers, not guesses.
Why hire a licensed contractor instead of a handyman?
A licensed contractor is accountable for the work: licensed, insured, and required to build to code. Roofs and waterproofing fail at the details, like flashing, underlayment and transitions, and that’s where a licensed crew that does this every day earns its price. We’re licensed, CA License #1038420.
Can a general contractor replace a roof?
Who you hire matters more than the title. A roof should be replaced by a licensed contractor whose crew does roofing every day. That’s us: Crank Waterproofing is a licensed California contractor, CA License #1038420, and roofing is a core part of our work.
