Why Deck & Balcony Waterproofing Matters
Outdoor spaces are constantly exposed to the effects of weather. Without proper waterproofing, decks and balconies can suffer from:
- Water damage
- Wood rot or metal corrosion
- Cracking, efflorescence or delamination
- Mold and mildew growth
- Structural failure over time
A professionally applied waterproof membrane extends the life of your deck or balcony, protects your investment, and keeps your family safe.

Deck & Balcony Waterproofing Cost
The cost of deck and balcony waterproofing depends on several key factors. First, the size of the area plays a major role; larger decks or balconies will naturally require more materials and labor. The condition of the surface is also important, as damaged or uneven areas may need to be repaired before waterproofing can begin. Additionally, the type of waterproofing system used, such as membrane, epoxy, or sealant, will influence pricing. Accessibility and the amount of preparation work required can further affect the overall cost, especially in hard-to-reach or elevated areas where more labor time is needed. In New York, the average cost ranges from $8 to $15 per square foot, which includes both materials and labor.
