Garage Decks & Rooftop Terraces
Turn the roof of a garage or addition into an outdoor room with a view and a private retreat.
The details, in plain English.
The roof of a garage or single-story addition is often the best unused space on a lot. A deck there can add a private lounge, a view over the yard and a way to step outside from upstairs.
These projects are as much about waterproofing as decking. We coordinate structure review, a membrane system, drainage and a pedestal or framed deck, plus access stairs and railings that meet code.

Questions, answered
Can any garage roof support a deck?
Not always. A structural review confirms what the roof can carry before design begins.
How do you keep it from leaking?
A properly installed membrane, flashings and drains are the foundation. The deck sits on top, not through the waterproofing.
