Imagine turning the damp, wasted space under your deck into a dry, inviting outdoor living area.

Whether you’re in Hoover, Homewood, Vestavia Hills, or anywhere in the Birmingham metro area, our team transforms under-deck areas into functional spaces that are both beautiful and durable.

What Is an Under-Deck Ceiling System?

An under-deck ceiling system is a waterproof drainage solution installed beneath elevated decks. It catches rainwater that falls through the deck boards above, channels it away from your home, and keeps the space underneath dry and usable. This turns what used to be a soggy mess into a space perfect for storage, lounging, or even outdoor kitchens and TVs.

How Our Under-Deck System Handles Drainage and Waterproofing

Our ceiling panels are installed beneath the joists of your existing wood or composite deck, forming a sealed, soffit-like ceiling. The design incorporates a slight slope that directs rainwater into integrated gutters and funnels it out through a downspout, preventing puddles and leaks below.

By managing drainage efficiently, the system helps eliminate moisture buildup, keeps surfaces dry, and reduces the risk of mildew or rot. It’s an ideal waterproofing solution for Birmingham homes that experience heavy rain and humid summers.

All panels are secured with corrosion-resistant screws to ensure long-term performance in all seasons.
