About This Project
After a rainstorm, the owners of this Madrona house found a wet spot on their kitchen ceiling, right under a second-floor tiled deck. We opened the ceiling to trace the water, and the leak was in the deck's side wall. The fix did not touch the tile. We took the metal cap off the wall, rebuilt the top of it in new pressure-treated lumber and exterior trim, flashed and sealed it, and put the cap back on.

"Kolmo (Frederic) repaired a leak in our deck side wall that was causing water intrusion into the room below. They did a great job addressing the issue and completing the repair. Very pleased with the results and would gladly recommend them for similar projects."
