Scope of Work
This SB 721 deck and balcony repair project centered on rebuilding exterior elevated stair and landing assemblies at a Stockton multifamily property. Good Life Construction completed 17 full rebuilds, nine partial rebuilds with new staircases, and 11 additional staircase and waterproofing replacements. Work included demolition, structural framing, CDX plywood, waterproof membranes, flashing, protective coatings, railings, concrete, stucco, paint, and related site modifications.
Challenges
The project involved dry-rotted framing and deteriorated exterior elevated assemblies distributed across an occupied multifamily property. Crews had to control access while coordinating new structural and waterproofing work with existing railings, walkways, carports, gutters, sprinkler connections, stucco, and paint.
Solutions
Good Life Construction completed full and partial structural rebuilds, installed new plywood substrates, and applied a layered waterproofing system with flashing, metal lath, reinforced base coats, slip-resistant texture, and an acrylic topcoat. Concrete stem walls, railings, stair approaches, stucco, and paint were coordinated with the existing buildings, along with necessary carport, gutter, sprinkler, footing, and mailbox modifications.
Final Result
- Rebuilt exterior elevated stair and landing assemblies with new framing, concrete support elements, and railing systems.
- Restored exterior circulation through coordinated stair, walkway, carport, mailbox, and sprinkler modifications.
- Installed layered waterproofing, flashing, and textured finish systems for moisture protection and walking-surface performance.
