Why Don't We Get Sued? Because...

Why aren't we being sued? Because...from Krubinski vs Schmutzer-"truth is a complete defense against liability for defamation, regardless of bad faith or malicious purpose."

Orcutt Bluffs HOA Pool Deck Failure

Decktech applied Granite Deck to a concrete pool deck at Orcutt Bluffs HOA several years ago. . Within a short time the coating they applied to the pool deck began experiencing failures.
Minimum thickness of the coating is 1/8" thick according to the "manufacturer" of the materials...we found far less and the crap pulled right off in big sheets, like picking a scab.

 Peeling failing Granite Deck comes off concrete deck
 Material applied so thinly you can see it's pinholed-water travels right through and gets 
under coating, causing it to fail. 
 More failures
 Control joints should be filled with caulk-note peeling material.
Cracks not fixed show right through coating
Video show material peeling off easily. 

We went by the job a few weeks ago (December 2014) and saw that the pool deck has been stripped clean of the failing material from DeckTech and the deck is now a concrete broom finish that appears to be doing great.
