Deck Tech Client Says Adios to their BS Annual Deck Maintenance Agreement

A North County client of Deck Tech's who had Granite Deck on their deck watched as the Granite Deck slowly deteriorated over a couple years time. Despite paying Deck Tech nearly $400 a year for their Annual Deck Maintenance Agreement, the Granite Deck system was slowly failing, with the sun burning up the weak and ineffective polyurea finish.

Deck Tech couldn't or wouldn't honor their agreement to maintain the deck, saying the finish was failing because of misuse. Ha, misuse, the deck off the bedroom was mostly unused...not misused.

Deck Tech's client contacted me to help them out.
What I found when I inspected the deck was a thin application of Granite Deck over an OSB substrate and the Granite Deck was peeling/flaking off as seen below.

Deck tech's client opted to have the old failing materials buried under a new coating utilizing a metal lath and acrylic concrete deck coating system. They are much happier with the Granite Deck out of their life.
Missing material under the post where the wood was cut to allow an air space proves
DeckTech failed to do a proper job here. Deteriorating materials show us the Granite Deck can't handle sun.
