Hi Debbie, thanks for reaching out. While you can apply our Advanced DeckOver over a water-based coating, please keep in mind that this product is mainly designed for older decks.

      Answer This Question

      Hi there, thank you for your question. To apply the DeckOver over a painted surface, it should be sound, clean, dry and scuff sanded to promote adhesion if the previous finish is glossy. Good luck with your project! -Giovanna

        Hi TimG, thank you for reaching out with your question. As it turns out, none of our products are recommended to be applied to a plywood floor surface. Instead, I suggest checking with your local store for a recommendation on a product for your project. Have a great day! - Angie

                  Not good
                  I spent weeks removing the old paint till the last dot of paint off my deck. Painted with Bahr Deck paint and it didn't last one season. Paint started to peel and looks ugly. It has been 2 years since I put the new paint and it's already time to paint all over again.

                  Hi sol2233, thanks for your review. I'm sorry to hear about the peeling after only one season. To fix this, I recommend sanding to remove the loose coating, cleaning with our All-In-One Wood Cleaner, and applying 2 new coats of DeckOver. Ensuring our customers are happy is our top priority, and we are eager to help get your project back on track. Please feel free to reach out to us directly for additional support. We look forward to hearing from you! -Christina Behr
                    Thick, so fills in well. Coverage is as it says though, you’ll go through more than you think if the wood is older. Prep well for it to last.

                    Garbage, don’t chance it!
                    Do not use this deck over unless u want a completely rotted deck in 3 yrs. I did all the prep work and then some. It looked fine and upon looking closely, its all lifted & u can peel sheets of it off w your fingers. I have 2 huge decks that I stain every year. I saw deck over & was supposed to last longer. They have a special textured roller & did it all right, just to totally loose my deck now to rot. I cld have neglected it for years & got this result, rather than working my butt off to keep it nice. So I thought…..I am very upset to say the least! I will write the company. They need to take this garbage off the market.

                      Excellent Product
                      I bought this product in July 2025 and applied it to my weathered old deck. My deck is approximately 15 years old and desperately needed to needed be painted. I chose this particular product because a friend of mine said that it was thick, heavy duty, weathered well, did not peel, and has lasted years on her deck without a problem. I’d only stained my deck once before, and it peeled right off and I’ve never done it again up until this point. I followed the directions meticulously. I cleaned my old deck twice to be sure it was clean and then I let it dry a couple of days. I then painted all of the cracks in my boards, which there were a lot. I painted the boards completely. I went over the boards, a second time and I let it dry. This product dries very quickly. My deck was beautiful when I got done. It is now May 2026. I have an open deck that does not have a covering over it. I live in Michigan and it snowed and weathered all over my deck, the entire winter. There is no peeling or cracking. The paint just looks a little bit dull, but it has lasted all winter. I am super pleased with the outcome of this product. This month I will be going over my deck with a light coating of the same product to just spruce it up not that I have to but because I want to. Buy this product if you need to spruce up old decking, it is phenomenal. I’m going to put some pictures down below from last year and then a picture of my deck from this year. I did tint the decking paint and the color I used is tricorn black by Sherwin-Williams. I used 5 gallon bucket and a one gallon bucket.

                        The paint was old and had chunks of hard paint in the bucket. I was not happy how the deck came out. The color was wrong. I ordered cape cod grey. This is not that color at all.

                        Hi KIM. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I'm sorry to hear about the issues you ran into with our Advanced DeckOver, and I understand your disappointment. Advanced DeckOver should have a light pudding/yogurt consistency. If chunky, you can stir the product for 3-5 minutes to help. If that does not help, it's best to use a new container. Customer satisfaction is important to us, and we appreciate your feedback. If you need further assistance, please reach out to us directly. We are always happy to help! -Alex Behr

                        Not good for deck
                        I cleaned my deck thoroughly until the last dot of old paint. Painted with Bahr Deck paint. After one year it started to perl off and collect a lot of green mold on it. Would not recommend

                        Hi Ben, thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear about the coating peeling off and the mold. That's not the experience we want for our customers, and I can understand your disappointment. To get your project looking beautiful again, I recommend sanding off the loose coating, cleaning the surface with the All-In-One Wood Cleaner No. 63 and allowing the wood to dry completely. Then, apply the recommended two coats following the spread rate. Please reach out to us directly so that we can gather more details about your project and find the best way to help. We look forward to hearing from you! -Giovanna Behr
                          I know that many people have issues with the DeckOver product but it has really done pretty well as an option for a very worn out deck. Yes it has chipped where we shovel but I think that is to be expected. Overall it has performed pretty well and I've been pleased. I wouldn't use it on a deck in good shape since it is not as pleasing to the eye as stain but it can work to get some more life out of worn-out wood

                          Big Mistake
                          When I first applied Deck Over, it looked great and believed that I'd found a product that would last with regular maintenance. The problem with this product is that when you're applying it on the deck the planks are so close together that the application doesn't adhere to both sides of the board nor the bottom and water gets under the coating and it bubbles and lifts. I contacted the company and there isn't a product that will dissolve it so they suggest hand sanding and an orbital sanders doesn't work because of the metal screws in each plank. At the presentation time I've applied 2 coats of paint stripper and 2 coats of tar/paint remover and pressure washed it several times. There is still a lot of Deck Over to be removed. My hope is to get enough off to put a couple coats of good deck paint down. If this doesn't work, I guess I'll have to replace my deck. I made a BIG mistake and it was costly!
