I've used this product 3 times now over the past 5 years....the product was put down over plywood initially and then just recoated every couple of years. Looks great and easy to apply.
The deck I have applied it to doesn't have any exposed edges like a normal deck. So I roll it up under the flashing on the one wall and over the capping on the other sides and it never peels away and doesn't leak. This is a small deck and has very little foot traffic on it. I find that the product takes twice as much as they say it does to cover an area. Maybe I am putting it on too thick...but I use the suggested roller for the product which leaves a fair bit on the deck. I will continue to use in the future.

Was nice for first year but now not so much
Used as directed hoping to save a our deck for a few more years! Now it doesn’t dry where the deckover paint is, it’s starting to rot away. Do not use this product!

Hi Coll, thank you for your review. I’m sorry to hear that the color didn’t turn out as expected. Typically, the lighting can influence how the final color will turn out.

Paint locks water Underneath
Prepare my deck as instructions on the Behr paint looked good for about two years then started to peel actually locked the water underneath of the paint and rotted out my deck which now I have to grind the paint off and replace several bad boards that I known I would’ve never use this I called there and they instructed me to use paint remover which would’ve costed way too much it would’ve killed my plants.

Hi DD513, thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear about the peeling. This is not the experience we want for our customers, and I can understand your disappointment. It is best to sand the coating off using a sander. We stand behind our products and highly encourage our customers who are experiencing issues with our products to contact our customer care department for one-on-one service and assistance. Have a great day! -Giovanna

Do Not Buy This Product
The majority of the reviews say that within months after application the paint cracked and peeled. Their response to everyone of these reviews is “this is not common.” This stuff is complete garbage. I hired someone who used this product to paint a very large deck. The deck is now completely ruined. The paint is peeling everywhere. I’m out a ton of money and all HD can say is sorry this isn’t common. They should be sued and should be prohibited from selling this product.

Hello, thank you for your review. I'm terribly sorry to hear your deck is peeling. Your satisfaction is our priority, and I can understand your frustration. To fix the DeckOver, I recommend removing any loose coating and cleaning the surface with our All-In-One Wood Cleaner. Once clean and dry, touch up the spots and apply a thin recoat if needed for uniformity. If the peeling is widespread, it may be best to remove the coating by sanding or power washing at a low setting. Then, clean the surface with our wood cleaner and apply two coats following the recommended spread rate once dry. Thank you again for sharing your honest experience and feedback. Please feel free to reach out to us directly so we can learn more about your project and assist you directly. We hope to hear from you soon! -Lina

Looks great! Went on pretty thick. We hand brushed on the first coat and then rolled the second coat.

I could have cried…:’(
BEHR Premium Advanced DeckOver is a terrible product. Last summer, I painstakingly prepared and painted my deck (according to BHER’s directions) with DeckOver, and all was well until spring. As soon as the snow completely melted, I began to notice peeling. At first, I thought this may have resulted from shovelling snow months earlier, but sadly, no - the peeling has continued in new areas that weren’t shovelled. Save your time, effort and money, and go with a different product.

Very thick, poor coverage.
A gallon will only cover 75 sq ft with two coats. It’s thick almost like putty. It dries in the pan within minutes of starting to roll. Then you have stings of dry paint on your floor. Very expensive considering a regular gallon of paint will cover 300 to 400 square feet. If you get a color, the paint is so thick it will not blend in. You will get zebra colored walls. I ran out of paint because of the poor square footage, I showed pictures to the paint counter and the response was “it happens”.

Hi Rob8465, thank you for your review. I'm so sorry to hear about the trouble you ran into with our Advanced DeckOver. That is not the experience we want for our customers. Our DeckOver is designed to have a consistency similar to light pudding or yogurt and covers 75 sq. ft. with two coats per gallon. This is because it's a thicker and textured coating., unlike typical paint. To help extend the working time of the product, you can thin the DeckOver with up to 4oz. of water per gallon. I am concerned you mentioned the color would not blend in. Customer satisfaction is important to us, and we appreciate your feedback. Please feel free to reach out to us directly so we can learn more about your project and assist. We look forward to hearing from you! -Lina

I would give it 5??, but the application and instructions were not the best and so my first two coats on the bulk of my deck could have been way easier and less wasteful.I could have gotten by with one gal.Rolling sucked!For the last portion that I saved until the first part cured I tried a pad.It was way easier and filled the cracks in my old and mostly bare decking so much better. If it doesn’t roll easily for you stop and try a pad.

Terrible!
This product looks great for a few weeks, then peals off in chunks. Wood underneath looks terrible, as if it was never coated. Don’t buy. See photo of deck below two years after painting. Yes, we followed all instructions for prepping and applied two coats as directed.

Hi there, thank you for your review. Sorry to hear that our Advanced Deckover started to peel after a couple of months. This is not typical, and I can understand your disappointment. To fix the issue I recommend removing the loose stain by scraping, sanding, or power washing at a low level. Then clean the surface with the All-In-One Wood Cleaner and let it dry, then apply 2 coats of the Advanced Deckover per the label directions.

Peels and bubbles in 6 months
Horrible product, they need another lawsuit filed on them this was a costly mistake for me, shame on Behr!

Hi James83, thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear the DeckOver you applied 6 months ago has bubbled and peeled. That is not typical, and I can understand your frustration. To fix the issue, I recommend removing the loose coating. Then clean the surface with our All-In-One Wood Cleaner to promote adhesion. Or, etch the bare surface if you're working with concrete. Once the clean and dry, touch up the affected areas and apply a thin recoat if needed for uniformity. Customer satisfaction is important to us, and we appreciate your feedback.

Awful product - do not buy
Do not use this product. Look up other reviews. It’s a common issue. There were even lawsuits. The application is extremely difficult. It claims to only require a couple of coats. That is not true. We prepped our deck as instructed. It’s been not even a year since we painted the deck and it is peeling and bubbling like crazy. Very expensive product that does not do as it claims. Do not buy.

Terrible!
We prepped the deck exactly as directed and was excited at how great it looked, that was 7/2021. After the first winter it was peeling and looking worn so 7/2022 we did some touch up but now on May 30th 2023 and it has only gotten worse. This not only was expensive to buy but it took multiple days to prep, get ready and apply which now all seems to have been a waste of time and money. I fear what this is going to cost to strip and redo as I can no longer do it myself.

Great for Concrete pool deck
I coated our poured concrete pool deck in June 2018 in Northern Vermont. I am about to re-coat it after 5 years even though it still looks reasonably good. I recommend DeckOver for concrete. I did not have as good a result over a pressure treated lumber deck. It looks good for a while but cannot survive over winter in areas that do not dry completely.

Was good for one summer.
I did all necessary prep before painting. I ended up painting both of my front and back decks last June. As you can see the paint has not held up. I do not recommend this product.

Looks good for season did not survive the winter
We prepped our original deck by cleaning and sanding before we apply the deck over product. It looks great the first season, however, spring is here and we are losing coverage in about every area, see photos for the amount of prep work that went into this and the cost of the product we do not recommend the use of this product!! The longevity is not there

Deck Paint , Great color and coverage
Deck Paint for painting and rolling

Excellent product!
I had badly cracked boards, but no rot just deep cracks. I started to apply the prep coat to fill the cracks in the direction of the cracks. I finally figured out I needed to apply perpendicular to the crack and then a light feather stroke in the direction of the grain. It’s amazing the coverage.
I wanted a smooth coverage but the 1/2” nap gave me a texture I did not like. So, I applied crack filler with a brush and used a foam roller to smooth. Goes on like melted butter!!!!

Deck rotted within a year
Followed all directions to a tee. Allowed deck to dry in non humid heat for 3 days and half by deck boards are completely rotted throughout. They were fine beforehand, just wanted to do some preventative maintenance. Should’ve just left it alone. Can’t believe this stuff is still on the shelves. Same thing happened to a friends deck. Do NOT use this stuff!

Stay away. Simply not suitable for cold climates.
Absolute garbage. Spent hours and hours prepping wood per instructions. Looked great during the summer. After 1 winter its all peeled. Great concept but simply does not work in cold climates. Do yourself a favor and stay as far away from this junk as possible.

Horrible
2 years applied properly and I went through my deck. No problems were visible before my foot went through the deck. I then took a scraper and peeled back the paint at all Butt end joints which is where the board failed. I found wet boards under each joint sitting between the paint and the wood. Wish I had read the class action lawsuit but a Home Depot worker suggested it! I’ve jumped through Behr hoops with samples of paint and wood mailed for $15 and pictures and questionnaires filled out.

Too early to tell if it will last
I like the idea of this product, that it covers thickly, flaws and cracks. It took me at least three coats. It goes on like gravy, or like a chocolate sauce. I want it to last a few years. I hope it will. I am giving three stars for the idea, and the color, but I cannot rate it higher until time has passed. Also, a bit disappointed that it took so many coats. However, I was painting over an old surface that was not perfectly prepped.

NO.
Virgin wood. A full day of sunny drying time after ANY rain. Dozens of hours painting two coats on my 350 sq ft. deck. PEELING IN WEEKS. ZERO STARS. I will never shop at home depot again.

Perfect for refinishing old decks
I used just under a gallon to refinish 2 small decks. The wood on the decks is in rough shape so this was a great product to use in the meantime until they can be replaced
by
Oct 31, 2022
Do not use this!!!!
At first it was great pretty color felt good. Did all the prepping I needed to do before application. Fast forward to 3 years later and almost $1000 spend replacing the rotted wood. My entire stairs were rotted!! A lot of the boards on my deck are also rotted. Trust me if you want your deck to last…stay away from this crap! If I could give it 20 negative stars that would t be enough.
