City of Burbank Permits & Scope
Maintenance recoating of existing systems often proceeds with limited permit requirements; new waterproof systems, structural substrate repairs, balcony moisture-barrier work, and exterior alterations may require permits through City of Burbank Building & Safety. Elevated decks and balconies have specific moisture-protection and inspection expectations under the California Building Code. We confirm the pathway during assessment.
Roofs, Walls, Decks & Media Corridor
Typical scopes include commercial roof coatings (acrylic elastomeric or silicone for ponding resistance), exterior wall waterproof coatings, pedestrian and balcony deck systems, and multi-family common-area protection. Media District and commercial properties need low-disruption access; residential decks need code-compliant moisture barriers and proper drainage details.
One License, Multi-Trade Coordination
B-license general contracting plus C-33 painting lets us self-perform or tightly coordinate prep, coating application, related flashings, and finish painting under one project manager — useful when coatings are part of a broader envelope, balcony, or tenant-improvement package.
Neighborhoods & Occupied Phasing
Demand centers on commercial and media-corridor roofs and walls, multi-family decks and balconies, and residential deck waterproofing in Magnolia Park, the flats, and hillside areas. We phase work around tenants, production schedules, and homeowners so buildings stay in use.
Our Burbank Waterproof Coating Process
Assessment
On-site review of roof, wall, or deck condition, moisture issues, ponding, substrate soundness, access, and occupancy constraints. We determine whether coating restoration is appropriate or whether repairs and prep must come first. Pasadena HQ supports rapid response across Burbank.
System Selection & Scope
Specification of SCAQMD-compliant waterproof coating systems (elastomeric acrylic, silicone, or deck/traffic systems as appropriate), surface-prep requirements, detail work at penetrations and edges, and a phased application plan that respects tenants and operations.
Approvals & Scheduling
Coordination of any required City of Burbank permits, manufacturer requirements, and building access windows. Clear sequence so coating crews and occupants stay aligned.
Execution
Surface cleaning and prep, repairs as needed, primer and coating application in sequenced zones, quality checks on film thickness and coverage, and protection of occupied areas. Work staged to minimize disruption to offices, media facilities, apartments, and homes.
Walkthrough & Close-Out
Final inspection of coated areas, documentation of system and warranty terms, punch list, and handover. For multi-building or HOA sites we coordinate close-out by phase.
Projects staged from our Pasadena headquarters — typically 15–30 minutes to most Burbank locations.
Burbank Waterproof Coating Regulatory Notes
Do I need a City of Burbank building permit for waterproof coatings?
It depends on scope. Maintenance recoating of existing systems often has limited permit needs; new waterproof systems, structural substrate repairs, balcony moisture-barrier work, and certain exterior alterations may require permits through City of Burbank Building & Safety. We confirm requirements during assessment.

What about decks and balconies?
Elevated decks and balconies have specific moisture-protection requirements. Where structural framing is protected by an impervious moisture barrier, details, manufacturer instructions, and proper drainage are expected under the California Building Code. We design and install systems to meet those expectations.

Do SCAQMD VOC rules apply to waterproof coatings?
Yes. Burbank is within the South Coast AQMD. Architectural and specialty coatings must meet Rule 1113 VOC limits. We specify and apply compliant elastomeric, silicone, and related waterproof coating products.

Can coating work be done while the building stays occupied?
Yes. Most commercial and multi-family waterproof coating projects in Burbank are phased by roof zone, elevation, or deck area so tenants and operations continue. We plan access, containment, and cure times around building use.
