Benefits at a Glance:
- Long-lasting weather resistance

Let your outdoor space work for you, not against you. Our skilled team is ready to help you build better—starting from the surface up.
While outdoor living spaces are a true asset, maintaining them—especially in a rainy climate like Vancouver—can be overwhelming. A traditional wood deck may look beautiful at first, but exposure to moisture quickly turns it into a costly liability. That’s why more homeowners and property managers are switching to a vinyl deck covering.
At Rain City Decks, we use industry-leading waterproofing systems like Duradek to solve common deck issues. As a Duradek authorized contractor, we make your outdoor space safer, more durable, and easier to maintain.
Whether you’re dealing with a leaking balcony, rotting deck boards, or simply want a low-maintenance solution, vinyl decking offers peace of mind. It’s the smart choice for anyone looking to protect their investment while enjoying a clean, attractive, and weatherproof outdoor surface year-round.
What Is Vinyl Decking and How Does It Work?
Vinyl decking is a fully waterproof surface that covers your existing deck or balcony. It acts as a protective membrane, shielding the structure from moisture and UV damage. Beyond that, it provides a clean, attractive look and eliminates the need for staining, sealing, or constant repairs.
Here’s what makes vinyl decking such a practical and long-lasting choice:
- Creates a 100% waterproof barrier
- Resists mold, mildew, and algae buildup
- Available in a variety of colors and textures to suit any exterior
- Requires only simple seasonal cleaning
- UV-stable to prevent fading and cracking
- Approved for use over living spaces
Unlike traditional wood or composite materials, vinyl membranes like Duradek are engineered for performance in all weather conditions. Once professionally installed, they bond directly to the deck surface, creating a durable finish that lasts for decades.
This system is especially valuable in multi-unit buildings or strata properties where structural integrity and safety are top priorities. With a vinyl deck covering, you’ll reduce long-term costs and improve the overall experience for residents and guests.
Common Problems Solved by Vinyl Deck Coverings
Outdoor living spaces are a wonderful feature, but they can become costly headaches if deck maintenance is overlooked. From water damage to mold and structural rot, the issues can be serious—and expensive. Fortunately, RainCity Decks offers long-lasting solutions using premium Duradek vinyl membranes.
Water Leakage Under the Deck
Leaks are among the most common and destructive deck problems. Water seeping through the surface can damage patio areas, storage zones, and even the interior of your home.
Our Solution: We install vinyl deck coverings that form a complete waterproof seal, keeping your structure dry and protected.
Rotting and Deteriorating Wood
Even pressure-treated wood eventually breaks down when exposed to moisture over time.
Our Solution: A vinyl deck covering blocks out moisture and harmful UV rays, significantly extending your deck’s lifespan.
Constant Painting and Staining
Traditional wood decks require regular upkeep like staining and painting, which adds up in both time and cost.
Our Solution: Duradek never needs painting or staining—just a simple clean to maintain its look.
Safety Risks for Residents
Slippery surfaces, hidden rot, or weak structural areas can cause accidents and injuries.
Our Solution: Duradek provides a textured, slip-resistant surface that’s safe for everyone.
Mold and Mildew Build-Up
Damp and shaded decks become breeding grounds for algae and mold, leading to health and safety issues.
Our Solution: Duradek is engineered with mold inhibitors, making it easy to clean and safe year-round.

Can I Cover My Wood Deck With Vinyl?
Absolutely. In most cases, an existing wood deck can be resurfaced with a vinyl deck covering, as long as the structure is still sound. Before installation, we perform a complete deck inspection to ensure it’s safe and ready. If needed, our experienced deck contractors can handle any necessary deck renovations or rebuilds.
Not every wood deck is immediately suitable for vinyl resurfacing. The substructure must be free from rot, movement, and water damage to ensure a strong bond and long-lasting performance. That’s why we begin with a thorough assessment to identify any hidden issues. Here’s what we check before installing vinyl decking:
- Condition of joists and framing
- Proper slope for water drainage
- Secure, level deck surface
- Flashing around doors, walls, and posts
- Signs of mold, mildew, or structural rot
- Compatibility with building codes and safety standards
How We Prepare Your Deck for Duradek
Once we confirm the structure is in good shape—or after making the necessary repairs—we prep the surface for vinyl installation. As a Duradek authorized contractor, we follow manufacturer-approved methods to ensure a watertight seal and long-term durability.
By resurfacing your wood deck with vinyl, you’re not just updating the look—you’re investing in a safer, low-maintenance future that stands up to the elements year after year.
