Founded in 1995, Decking Around has over 20 years of experience refinishing decks in the San Francisco North Bay area.

We work with both residential and commercial clients to provide them with high quality refinishing that stands up to the test of time.

Your satisfaction with our work is our priority.

The ALX Decking System is a waterproof walking deck system. It is reinforced with metal lath and is installed with a series of three separate polymer-modified cementitious applications, and sealed with special topcoat.

The finished product weighs approximately 2 1⁄2 lbs per square foot. This system gives plywood the look and feel of concrete with a decorative appeal.

We will provide you a maintenance sheet on how to care for your deck.

Exterior surfaces can be swept daily with water and a broom. For tougher dirt or grease use a specific degreaser provided by your contractor diluted with water 20:1 and a soft bristle brush or broom, be sure to rinse well. To remove calcium or lime build up, brush diluted 100 grain vinegar onto the surface; be sure to rinse any residue.

Decking Around should inspect your surface for wear every 2 to 3 years.  Your deck should be resealed by your contractor with the appropriate clear sealer every 3 to 5 years depending upon traffic and UV exposure.

Completion of your ALX-Deck System depends on the size and scope of the project. Some can be completed in under a week, while more complex or custom designs can take longer.

Decking Around is happy to work with you to make your visions a reality.
