I'm a painting contractor 38 years now I've used this product too many times to count never had any problems, I power wash with bleach beforehand. Remember this product is not an end-all it is for a deck that is cracked and weathered and for people who don't want to spend or can't afford to buy new decking material. P.S never use a roller always brush by hand morning is the best time for application.

Can i use this on composit decking

I used this on a wraparound deck and it changed the entire home. I even went very light grey, almost white and was impressed with the outcome. I know there have been complaints about peeling, etc. My contractor did the prep work and I have had no problems going on three years in. If you just slap it on over a dirty, unprepared deck it probably won't last. But when you power wash, sand where needed and pay attention to the actual directions it works great. No regrets.

We painted the deck last year with just one coat using a brush, and waited to see how this product held up. After a year, there were a few spots that peeled up, but nothing serious. Pretty satisfied, and will apply a second coat this year, and see what happens next year.

Great video on painting decks. Thank you.

Love the results! Please let me know what color you used?! Thanks!

Great video! Great job!

Everyone read the directions where it says 2 coats required? I talked to the Behr rep and the thickness of the coating adds to the longevity. so.. follow the instructions.

I'm looking forward to see the deck over time. I have the same issue you have in Massachusetts. Thank you

Absolute garbage

We actually had to replace our old deck from the previous house owner.we rebuilt it ourselves with hard labor in redwood costing us an arm and a leg.well you know how you like to walk on a deck barefoot if you've ever had a sliver on the bottom of your foot and thought that hurt wait till you get one from redwood that's a real experience. So we decided to try the Behr deck cover in a reddish color and it covered nicely smoothing over the slivers that allowed us to walk over it barefoot many times.the deck is 3yrs old and standing up ok probably because the redwood was fresh cut an raw.there however is some fading and small cracks showing up so it's about time to get after it again before I get a sliver ..LOL

Looks amazing

Looks good. Going to try it this week but it’s in the high $40s now.

Is there an update video of how well it's holding up?

Which color did you use? We like it and want to buy the same color.

How many gallons did it take for the 16×20 deck ?

What's the name of the color please? It's so beautiful

I see a lot of people complaining about this product peeling and not lasting. If you read the product information, these resurfacers require the deck surface to be stripped, sanded, and filled to a bare and flat surface to adhere properly. Not removing old stain or paint and going over it is a recipe for disaster. Preparation is the most important factor with this product.

Se puede esprallar esta pintura?

I don't know if you'll see this comment, but just a thought ... I wonder if you could use a Behr paint stain (same color), to brush between the boards. Probably cheaper, goes a longer way because it's not as think, and it would probably have a better run down between the boards. Then roll the rest of the deck like you did with the Overdeck! I think it would All blend together. You might have to let the paint stain dry before rolling. Might work?

Gurl don’t do it. Research first!

Color name please!

came to find out what kind of brush and roller was used.

So far no reviews from anyone 1-2 years after. Here's my take: While Deckover did look great after application, 1-2 years later it began to peel, especially on the old worn wood that Behr and similar products claim will work great. I expected this peeling and understood I'd have to reapply at this time. What I'm finding is after I peel off the paint I'm finding the old wood in much worse condition: wet, rotting. The product seems to act like rubber undercoating on a rusted auto frame. I'm believing that eventually the Deckover and like products eventually deteriorates, creating microscopic defects that allow moisture under thus causing an unseen deterioration of the wood. I installed new wood on the steps 2 years ago and the Deckover is still holding up. Seems to work great on new wood but just doesn't work well after 1-2 years on old wood that shows signs of neglect.

I put on deck over about 8 or 10 years ago have the same exact problem. I am now in the process of stripping the whole deck sanding etc and reapplying some other type of stain. I too noticed that when a piece peeled up the wood underneath was damp even if it had not rained for quite a while. In many areas the rotted wood actually adhered to the deck over.

We used deck over on our deck roughly 5 years ago. It was terrible to work with, but looked beautiful for 1 summer. Then it was a matter if just watching it peel a bit more every year. Last year we removed a section of deck because the wood was rotting. This year we completely removed what was remaining. There were several areas where the wood was rotting. Upon looking at the under side, we could see that the wood was just completely wet underneath. So much that there was mold on some boards. I can understand a product not holding up, but never expected it to rot the deck.

Time will tell if that is better. Buyer beware on this product.

It’s a lot of work to remove but can be made easier if you use the right tools. Purchase a Makita 5 “ disk sander. Purchase a groups of disks. 24 grit and 36 grit and a few 50grit. You are only going to use it to rip off paint. Move along to the next spot as soon as you get to bare wood. You are not using the sander to sand the paint. The goal is for it to grab paint off the wood. My tip: Purchase an extension cord that has a dimmer on it. Use the dimmer to lower the rotation speed of the sander to a comfortable speed. This will help a lot to keep from damaging the bare wood and it helps each disk last a lot longer.

Thanks for this video! I’d never heard of this product. Ideally I’d love a natural oil stained look, but our deck way way old, gray, has layers of paint and stain, it’s probably never going to look as good as I want. This could be a better solution.

Good luck with that! The only thing that might save you in that you have covered your deck. Likely, you will end up with the same peeling, horrible results in a year that the rest of us experienced with Deck Over. We were so thrilled with our beautiful deck (14x33) 3 years ago. Then, after research, we chose this product. What a nightmare it's been after a year. Yes, we are in the Carolinas, too, and blamed the sun until we saw all of the negative reviews from all climates. and lawsuit against Behr. It should be taken off the shelves.

I will say just this, I see you bending over with roller, next time screw in broom handle on end of roller. Saves back and speeds it up. For walls and ceilings too. I used to do it this way until I learned, then I said oh duh.

In the past Home Depot sued Behr because of their DeckOver paint.

Yikes! You have great videos but I think this product is linked to a class-action lawsuit due to severe peeling. And it completely ruined my parent's deck. I would maybe update the video with a warning before others use this stuff!

I try this paint it was so horrible to thick I would not recommend it couldn’t even finish my little deck took me all day

All stains, paints, oil or latex are just petroleum based plastic. All you're doing is putting a thicker layer of plastic over your deck.

I’m going to have to sand all the old garbage paint off my deck before I can put this stuff on

Behr deckover ruins your deck. Wherever stain doesn’t stick deckover won’t either. It bubbles and traps moisture below. Ruined my deck floor and I replaced all the wood ultimately

gonna last u a lot longer now that your deck is mostly covered n even a carpet on top. hardly comparing

If your deck is NOT exposed to sunlight and/or moisture of any kind OR you plan on replacing it after a year, Behr DeckOver is awesome! My deck's surface was stripped and sanded before using DeckOver. After DeckOver, it was beautiful... for about a year and then it began to deteriorate. By the second year, it looked worse than before we painted it. I wish I had joined the class-action lawsuit a few years back. Home Depot agreed to give me store credit for the product's cost but not for the cost of labor for putting it on, taking it off, or painting it again.

Never....NEVER use Beher deck over. Mine lasted 8 months. There has been a class action lawsuit against them. Terrible product

As a deck company, never use this product or paint. You will speed up the rotting on the wood. Wood needs to breathe to air out and dry when it gets wet.
