Dec-Tec installer
Dec-Tec Installer in Atlanta for Walkable Waterproof Surfaces
Dec-Tec is different from a standard roof membrane because it is built for surfaces people walk on. CKR helps Atlanta properties plan Dec-Tec scopes for decks, balconies, terraces, and rooftop amenities.

Scope
What CKR reviews
- Decks, balconies, terraces, pool surrounds, walkways, and rooftop amenity areas
- Substrate review, slope, edge conditions, drains, posts, railings, door thresholds, and transitions
- Coordination where Dec-Tec meets walls, doors, TPO roofs, or other waterproofing assemblies
Approach
How the work gets planned
- Confirm whether the surface is meant for regular pedestrian use
- Review substrate and details before recommending a membrane path
- Separate Dec-Tec walkable waterproofing from standard TPO roof membrane decisions
Local angle
Why this page exists
Atlanta multifamily, hospitality, senior living, and commercial properties often need rooftop and balcony spaces to stay usable while protecting occupied areas below.
Decision proof
What CKR documents before a decision
- Clear separation between walkable waterproofing and standard low-slope roof membranes
- Photos and notes for slope, substrate, rail penetrations, thresholds, edges, transitions, and occupied-space risk
- A written scope that helps owners, managers, architects, and boards compare Dec-Tec against other surface options
- A next-step recommendation built around planned consultation, documentation, budgeting, and phasing
FAQ
Questions this page answers
Is CKR Exteriors an authorized Dec-Tec installer?
Yes. CKR is an authorized Dec-Tec installer and has been waterproofing walkable surfaces across metro Atlanta since 2009. Authorization matters because Dec-Tec's manufacturer warranty is only valid when the membrane is installed by a trained applicator, and we hold that credential alongside GAF, Versico, and GenFlex certifications for the commercial roof side.
Why hire a certified Dec-Tec installer instead of a general roofer?
A general roofer can put down a coating, but only an authorized installer registers the Dec-Tec manufacturer warranty and knows the welded-seam and penetration details that keep it valid. CKR is also a commercial TPO contractor, so we own the seam where a flat roof meets a walkable deck, the single point where most multi-contractor leaks start.
What surfaces can a Dec-Tec installer waterproof?
Dec-Tec is rated for balconies, amenity decks, rooftop terraces, walkways, and walkable low-slope roofs. CKR has documented Dec-Tec installs from a Snellville deck to balconies at AMLI at Roswell and a Kirkwood walk-pad project, across 37 photo-documented jobs on file in CompanyCam.
Does CKR also install the commercial roof, not just the deck?
Yes, and that is the point. CKR installs both Dec-Tec walkable decks and GAF/Versico/GenFlex commercial TPO roofs, so one crew and one warranty cover the roof, the deck, and the seam between them. On Honey Creek's 148-photo TPO project we owned the full roof system; on AMLI we owned the decks too.
