Advanced Deck Over
So far I am amazed at how good the deck looks. It was in bad shape. I hope it looks that good in a year.

horrible product Has bad coverage and finish
The coverage after 2 coats has been very bad with so many blemishes. The painting was done by a professional contractor.

Great for the purpose it was made for.
This is great paint. Covers well, texture is amazing for the deck and home depot matched our color perfectly. The biggest drawback is it is very thick so it is difficult to apply with a roller.

Disaster on the deck
A year after applying this product I found it was not only peeling off, but where I peeled it away the wood was wet – so it was sealing water in instead of repelling it. It was a disaster. Forget the $ I paid for it, what I really hate is the time I spent prepping the surface (washing with a special cleaner, filling and sanding), and scraping it off most recently. After 10 hours of scraping at least enough of it has been removed so I think it will not cause more dam.ge to the deck, even while it still looks terrible!

Hi Russ, thank you for your review. Sorry to hear that the Advanced Deckover started peeling and was sealing water into the wood. 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 or our Premium Solid-Color Waterproofing Stain & Sealer per the label directions. Customer satisfaction is important to us, and we appreciate your feedback. Please reach out to us directly if you need further assistance; our customer care team is happy to help you! -Ronald

Deckover works.
It is true that Deckover covered many sins on our older deck. It took twice as much paint as the product guidance indicated: 4 gallons to cover our 140 sq ft deck with two coats. After trying with a roller, we had much better results by applying the first coat with a brush; Much easier to fill cracks with this method. Will submit another review after 1 year of wear.

Complete Failure
Needed to scape off the peeling paint a 2 time. Four years ago we applied Deck Over for the 1st time. Followed all the directions on cleaning the deck with Behr deck cleaner. This lasted about 2 years then peeled. This product is creating a film of paint on top of the decking boards, it then forms small cracks which allow water in. The trapped water rots the pressure treated decking. The 2nd time we power washed and re-applied the Deck Over, because Behr is usually a great product. Now we will try an oil based product which pernitrates into the wood.

Worked great to give my deck a touch up
Bought a house that has this on the deck, current paint was about two years old, so bought two gallons to prep for the winter months. Cleaned and dried it, applied with a half inch nap roller and couldn't be happier. Looks great. Goes on fast, so once you start don't stop.

Good coverage on an old deck
Looks great when finished. Yes it’s thick and took a few coats but was it very helpful to get in all the old nooks and crannies of old wood. Gave us at least a few extra years instead of fully replacing the deck.
Behr, any tips on what to add as a final coat to stop dirty puppy paw prints from always sticking? Even after sweeping as in the picture, it still looks dirty.

Peels after a year DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME!
Sanded down to the wood and prepped using all the products Behr recommends on the product label and applied using a roller just as recommended. After a year the paint peeled and cracked and looks like complete garbage. Regret spending all the time prepping only to waste the time and money on this product. Please do your research and get a better quality product with a manufacturer that stands behind their product!

Hi Jesse, thanks for your review. I'm sorry to hear about the peeling and cracking on your project! To fix it, I recommend sanding to remove the peeling coating, cleaning the surface with our All-In-One Wood Cleaner, and applying two new coats of DeckOver following the recommended spread rate. Customer satisfaction is very important to us, so feel free to reach out to our Customer Care team directly for further assistance. They are always happy to help. Enjoy the rest of your day. -Christina

Finally got it right
Took 3 tries but finally got it right. You have to water down this product and make sure the boards are waterproof first. Used at least five cans in the past but only needed less than 2 this time. I'll be doing consulting on my technique in the future.

Good, but patchy
The textured paint is just the right amount of grit, but the sheen is uneven. I followed all the directions and used a 1/2 in nap roller with 2 coats, but still came out uneven.
It definitely feels very durable but time will tell if it holds up.

Rotting wood
Less than 2 years ago I had my deck professionally painted using Behr Deckover bought at Home Depot. The deck was in good condition (i.e no rotten boards) and prepped and dry prior to application. Now I'm replacing boards due to rotting wood. It seems the "advanced" formula, which implies it was improved, in all actuality provided a false sense of security and is no better than what was used that prompted a class action lawsuit a few years ago.

Good for now
Our handyman did a great job. Looks good now. Time will tell once we see how it holds up to winter. Only finished 3 days ago. Used it on wooden panels on porch walls.. marks easily.. walking surfaces seems okay for now. Haven’t returned furniture yet due to rain and humidity issues. Unable to post photos since link doesn’t work. Rescue It paint worked better didn’t mark when accidentally bumped with a fingernail.

This paint is AMAZING

RUINS Deck Boards.
1. Cracks develop soon after application, allowing water to seep in and saturate and rot deck boards.
2. Doesn't adhere to smooth boards at all - peals off in sheets.
3. Sticks to rough boards concealing the rot it causes.
I have had to replace approx half my deck boards within 4 years. More rot to be exposed once the Deckover is 100% removed.
THIS PRODUCT SHOULD NOT BE USED ON WOOD!

Great product..bad color choice
I always heard how durable and awesome this product was. So i finally bought some for my concrete porch which needed a facelift. I did the correct prep work. I love the product..however. heres the downfall..the color. I got cape cod gray which looks more like a light baby blue when put on. I will be ourchasing a darker color to go over it as im not satisfied. And my homedepot doesnt accept returns on this product so im stuck with a gallon.

Hi LadyA, thank you for your review. I'm glad you hear you're happy with the product, but sorry to hear about the color. You are able to use the Solid Concrete Stain in a new color over the DeckOver.

SO FAR SO GOOD
I vastly underestimated the amount of paint it would take for our 14x24 deck. The final count was 8 cans. Should of bought the big bucket but hindsight and all...
Extra textured x 2 layers with some touch ups afterwards. I neglected to read the part about filling in cracks and screw holes before the first layer so we did that between layers and it worked out fine.
This stuff has the same consistency as chocolate pudding. Just be prepared for some mess as it flies off the roller a bit.

Yes yes yes!
I absolutely love this! This is just what my deck needed, totally brought it back to life & made my 10 year old deck look brand new! I look forward to the extra traction this winter!

Terrible Product
Unfortunately not possible to leave zero stars. Considering all the negative reviews, I am surprised you are still selling this product. This is the worst product I have ever used. Followed the instructions to the letter and it was like paining with concrete. The following year, it was peeling off! Even though it’s peeling, it’s stuck fast in other places so it is impossible to remove. Had to spend a fortune replacing 32 foot long decking boards. I would appreciate some compensation for the time and money this has cost me!

Deckover a bit too thick to apply
Bought 5 gallons for my 16x13 deck size … after 2-3 applications, still 1/4 left
It is a bit too thick to apply smoothly on to the deck surface … i have to wet my roller to better absorb to apply… still got the job done. Now will see how many years it holds up…

Old deck is new
Does not roll on well. Decided to brush this on my entire deck. Dries very quick. Make sure you prep the deck before applying or it will fail. This is an awesome product. Takes some time to apply, but the final product is amazing. It looks like an entirely new deck. Be ready to put in the work so the product doesn’t fail.

Highly recommend this product. You can get any color you want. I did redwood. Buy the 5-gallon bucket you will need it. Ha the consistency of oatmeal. Dries normal looking though. Made are deck look brand new. Power washed it first prior to painting. Deck is at least 50 x 25 feet. At least 15 years old. 5- gallon rough coat for floor (non-slip) and 2-gallon smooth for railings. Two-day project with prep time. Looks amazing.

Great coverage but the color looked very different than the brochure. Very thick. We painted our deck with a spray machine and it took up so much paint. Had to be a big gas machine because the smaller electric ones didn’t work with how thick the paint was.

Color way off
Picked this up to paint a deck we built 6 months ago. Cleaned it thoroughly with pressure washer and cleaner. Applied this paint and the color is not even close to the color displayed on the can or in the advertisement. The pic below shows the color displayed in advertisements on the top. Be careful when selecting colors

Hi Glen, thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear that the color did not turn out as expected. This is not the experience we want for our customers, and I understand your disappointment. You have the option of applying the Solid Color Stain in a different color over the DeckOver. I recommend testing the new color first using an 8 oz. sample, as the colors on your screen are not the best representation of the color.

DO NOT BUY THIS
I used Deckover a decade ago and it was great! A single coat of grey was nearly enough to cover dark green. I bought the same color to use at a different house and two coats won’t even cover beige.
I did some research and Behr is being sued by customers who use this product. Shame on Home Depot for continuing to sell such crap, especially as I’m sure they are aware of the law suit.
Check out the pic, I followed the directions on the can to the letter.
