What CKR reviews
- Walkable terrace membrane planning and substrate review
- Door thresholds, parapets, drains, edges, planters, railings, and transitions
- Coordination with nearby roof membrane, walls, and occupied areas below
Approach
How the work gets planned
- Identify whether the terrace needs a pedestrian-rated waterproof membrane
- Review transition details before committing to a surface system
- Plan phasing, access, and stakeholder communication for occupied properties
Local angle
Why this page exists
Atlanta terraces often function as high-value amenities for residents, tenants, or guests. Waterproofing failure can quickly become an operations and reputation problem.
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
How do you waterproof a rooftop terrace over occupied space?
A rooftop terrace is a walkable surface sitting on top of occupied units, so the membrane has to be both watertight and foot-traffic rated. CKR installs Dec-Tec as a fully-adhered welded sheet and details every drain, planter, and door threshold. Because we also install the commercial TPO roof, one crew owns the terrace and the roof beneath it under a single warranty.
What is the difference between a terrace membrane and a flat roof membrane?
A flat roof membrane is built to be walked on only for service; a terrace membrane like Dec-Tec is rated for daily foot traffic, furniture, and amenity use with a slip-resistant finish. The leak risk lives at the seam where the two systems meet, and CKR installs both, so that seam is owned by one contractor instead of split between two.
Can you add pavers or furniture on top of a waterproofed terrace?
Yes. Dec-Tec is rated for walkable use and can sit under pedestal pavers, furniture, and amenity layouts. CKR plans the membrane and the topping system together so the waterproofing stays accessible at drains and transitions, which keeps future maintenance from meaning a full tear-out.
How fast can CKR quote a terrace waterproofing project?
CKR returns a fixed written terrace proposal within 48 hours under our 48-Hour Written Proposal Guarantee, with a $500 credit if we miss the deadline. The number is locked under No-Surprise Pricing, so the figure in the proposal is the figure on the invoice.
