- Tips and tricks from my DIY of home depots Behr - Deck over stain and deck refinishing products. Need to refinish your deck? Save yourself time from learning from my experience! Hands on review
This is the best tutorial that I have seen for redoing a deck. Thank you for all of your hard work and effort in putting this together.
Grandma Lynda
Thank you for taking the time to do this informational video for us DIYers that do not know what we are getting into. You have given me confidence!
you seriously did a good job getting to all the important details, I believe this video schooled me and I'll be finishing my project in way better satisfying fashion then I expected
thanks for your time to create this video
Thanks, you have given me the courage to try this on my old deck!
Great video Scott, I've used this product and others like it. I'm a contractor in Northern Virginia and have pressure washed and stained dozens of decks. Nothing lasts forever, especially staining, you get maybe two years depending on sun exposure. Your video explains this process better than anything I have seen. The preparation, as you state on your video is paramount, read the instructions! Brushing the space between the deck boards, nails and cracks makes the difference for good results. Once that is done you can get a nice even layer on top. Make sure you have a lot of cheap brushes, it's worth the extra couple dollars.
Great video, Thanks!
Agreed, Clean and prep is everything. Currently on 3 years of the paint. Just a few places need a re-do due to high traffic and huge exposure to water and snow that pounds on it. Normally our paint doesn't last a year.
I'll put my two cents, I've placed the deck over in my old home deck. I live in New England with all types of weather. I had at at least three years with all seasons 90+ summers, frigid cold temperatures, snow and rain in between. I have kids and seasonally held cook outs and pretty decent traffic. I say all of this and can confirm that it has held up pretty well. As he noted in the video it's all about the prepping and following the directions. It's also important to apply two generous coats where where and go between each board to ensure saturation. I disagree with the brush I used the rollers for first and second coat worked well. There has been some wear but it wasn't bad and for what it was worth I touched up where ever I could. I was happy with the end result. I since then sold the home and will need to do the same process with a new deck. This summer.
Hello Jadie, I am going back and forth about whether I want to use this deck over or not. Did you put the deck over on your railings as well or did you use something different for the railings?
@@jeffreyosberg3117 use the behr solid color stain and sealer, not as thick but much better coverage and rated to last longer
Super helpful. I watched this 3x today before I started!
Thank you for your review, it saved me a lot of headaches and answered many questions.
Super! The exact colors I was thinking to use. Looks great!
Excellent video thank you very much answered a lot of my questions and probably saved me a lot of headache from making minor mistakes that would have a major impact. Thank you sir!
Very detailed information about the product and application for the best results. THE BEST VIDEO FOR YOUR DECK!!!!💯
Thank You for making these instructions clear. So many make negative statements about these types of products and almost every time its because of not following instructions and lack of prep.
Even the timing and planning around the weather is so important. It is very difficult to get anything to adhere for a long period of time to wood that has moisture changes in it.
But it can be done if the instructions are followed and the prep is done.
Loved how you explained it!!!
Great video,I want to clean and stain my deck but didn't know how,. I'm headed to Home Depot right now. Your deck looks great.
Thank you so so much for this video, was looking at what paint to use and this video is so perfectly done. I feel O can take on this project.
Good job on the deck. You’ve properly illustrated that great prep will result in great finished product.
Great video, thanks for being clear and giving good directions.
I love the grey floor to black railing contrast.
Thank you so much! This was VERY helpful.
Really nice video. I finally feel motivated to stain mine!!
Very well put together video, thank you!
Thank you!! Very helpful!! Much appreciated!!😊
Good tip about the difference of roller only, vs brush and roller. Worth the extra effort. Thx.
Thanks . Good looking out !
Awesome video, I've been searching for a break down of a consumer showing the process from start to finish. This was very informative. I'm at the first step of stripping the old paint off it's tuff. Makes you want to use a power washer to help get that stubborn paint off, but I'll take your advice and use a garden hose
No difference at all.
Wow! Love it just so much work...great job tho I’m gonna try this with my deck too thanks!
I applied one single coat only to my deck last summer (2015), with the intention of applying a second coat shortly after - alas, I never got around to the 2nd coat. 1 year later, this summer (2016), 95% of my deck still looks very good. I do have several small spots (~
How's your deck?
@@stupedcraig The product absolutely did NOT hold up in the uncovered parts. It's been all gone for probably 2 years now. About half of my deck is covered, though, and that half has held up well and still looks nice.
@@ZishPOE about how long would you say it held up in good condition?
@@sp00linhard20 Maybe 6 months - I have since replaced my deck with TREX. I would not recommend this product personally.
@@ZishPOE damn that’s trash. But there was a class action lawsuit against that old product
Great presentation there boyeeeee! (Thank you)
Maybe in warm climates, but where we get snow and freezing temps, probably not so good. My brother used it on his deck, followed the instructions and the following year it was peeling off. Also, my neighbor used it as well and same results on the top and even the face of the deck.
Scott THANK YOU. We spent THOUSANDS of dollars hiring contracts to our deck only to have them RUIN it. We followed your video and redid everything ourselves and it really saved us. THANK YOU! Hand painting was the way to go after the roll over. I cannot believe what it did to close up the cracks.
and how does it look one year later?
Please do a update deck video. Would help a lot of people
Lawd Yes!!!!
Several years later and I’m watching this video for the first time. Rip that shirt off again lol and please please please give us an updated video 😂😂😂
Here’s the thing. Because you followed the manufacturer’s guidelines to a T, it wouldn’t be your fault if the deck went sideways.
Peace!
just a great video. convinced me to restore vs a cap boardinn the deck.
NICELY PERFECTED
i use this too i like it .i thin the first coat to make it absorb better .and use a brush on a pole .also only do 5 boards at a time without stopping to prevent lapping marks .tip put drop of water on wood if it absorbs water it is dry enough to paint .oil primer is much better for bare wood as primer
I tried this stuff is thick, after using it, I like it it's like I used a bed liner paint on the surface non-slip tuff
Great job!
nice nice ..looks really good
Wooo you’re genius 😀😀😀👍👍👍good job
Dude ..the shirt tear off is hella SICK move…SUPER COOL
THANK YOU for telling people not to use a pressure washer to prep your deck for refinishing. So many men feel the need to use one, find excuses to use it. I've been telling people for years, you're pushing the water/moisture deep into the wood when you do this. And you can damage the wood (even siding).
this dude doesnt know shit. Yes, use a pressure washer just dont blast it on full power. 3200psi and while moving. Dont just hold in one spot and chew up the wood.
@@terilachonce280 B.S.
i have this on my deck and i also agree with the brush.. the roller just doesn't get into the cracks as good as a brush
thank you so much i thought i was doing something wrong . Need a lot more paint and to use a brush.
10:42 forearm saver- get a new garden sprayer container (some ppl use these for camp showering for example) and then you won't have to continuously use your hand to spray it.
I love it I use this on my small patio in FL I love it. I have use a few floor paintand I live this one. I use it for pavers and concrete
Best and most detailed video my only question what’s the 1 gallon weather proofing for?
Thanks really helped
Great video. I was looking at this product to do my deck over. I stained for 2 years in a role and it didn't hold up. I am in Eastern Canada. Going to buy this product for sure to cover my wooden decks.
omg dont! This stuff is garbage. ESPECIALLY in states that have snowy winters. Rep told me it shouldn't even be sold in northern regions where we have snow.
Great video
Great video but would be excellent to know how it looks now.
Great video! My deck was painted red about 3 years ago. Would I have to get all the paint off before putting in the deck over ?
I'm curious how it held up.
Good tutorial!!
Thanks for this - I had a big fail trying this before and the product came off in patches in my test area - but now am willing to try again because of your video - I still have a giant container of this.... and my bad - I didn't read the instructions at all, didn't prep, and didn't wait, and freaked out when footprints and scuffs happened so easily so I stopped - and didn't do my decks. My bad. I have a few questions....How many containers of the prep cleaner did you use? You also showed a container of sealer - did you apply that over the Deckover? What about footprints and scuffs after it dries??
Thanks for sharing bro
Why didn't you use a roller to apply a thick coat and and brush out? It must have taken all day to dip that little brush and only get 3 inches of coverage. Thanks for the video!
Because he's not that experienced to do it the right way this is a painstaking way to do it
I would love to see a picture of this deck now that winter is moved on, to see how the product weathers?!
@Air Strike Technologies If you applied this on new wood, then there's your problem. It's said to let new wood weather a few months or even more before sealing, staining or painting. Sorry about your luck.
I’m very serious about not painting wood. If you don’t want the beauty of wood use a different product. But as far as I’m concerned, wood gets stain and waterproofing and NOT paint! Why would anyone ever ruin perfectly good wood by covering it up with a paint type product?!? Would anyone ever paint wood flooring inside a home? So why do it outside?
@@devitomichael Hi - the reason I tried this is to try and extend the life of my over the hill deck. I agree with you about the look of wood, but there comes a time when it is no longer so beautiful. Turned into a diaster though, peeled in a lot of places, totally stuck on in others.
Wouldn't power washing, letting it dry, sanding, then coating be a more solid idea? Scrubbing seems like a lot more work than you need if you have the time for the deck to dry after power washing?
I would love to see what it looks like today ...
Probably all peeled like all of the deckover expensive junk
From experience, no matter what you use these horizontal surfaces, especially up north, will only last maybe 2 years. The wood will continue to expand & contract as will the Behr Deckover paint. Eventually chipping and peeling will occur.
I simply reapply every 2 years and spot apply annually.
If only previous homeowners maintained these decks from the start, eh?

Painting flat wood surfaces is not recommended, I tried it and it did not even last thru the winter. it peeled off endlessly. Problem now how to remove? I had a choice, pressure wash forever and try and clean it and then be back with the same problem.or pry boards up and flip them to unused side. Well I flipped them and pressure washed the back side and it cleaned up beautifully, just have slight dark spots where boards were on joists. I had originally used galvanized nails, used deck screws this time. I now have a 30 year old deck that looks like new except for the dark spots. I am trying to get those now.
nice video and very good compare.. I especially like the end of video with 3 compare session..
nice job
Planning to do this, can you tell me HOW the deck HELD UP over the years ? Thks.
Thank you!. Can you say how deck over has held up to the Sun and elements?
Great vid! How much did you use per sqft of your deck?
Thanks Scott. nice job. What color tint did you use? I really liked it. TiA
Very good video...
Try Cabot Deck Correct, especially if you live in cold climate. Mine turned out great!
Did you notice a color change, darker, after applying the second coat? I put one coat on so far and it looks much lighter than in the can. Thanks, Mark
I've painted all my many, many rails a glossy black...now to tackle the HUGE floor of my deck (and stairs) Already did the cleaning, now just have to pull up a few overly-cruddy boards then get painting! I have seen SO MANY reviews of rubber like peeling and flaking, but at this point, ANYTHING will be better! Just need to salvage my beautiful deck and simple staining is NOT an option. How is yours holding up? Any updates on the staying quality?
Does this guy work for Behr? I'm pretty sure he had to rebuild his entire deck within 1-3 years after applying the mud that is DeckOver.
That’s what it’s for isn’t it? Getting a couple of more years out of an old deck? You wouldn’t put it on a new deck.
Do I have to remove the remaining original paint before prepping with the cleaner?
Is the surface slippery when wet? Stained my deck last year and my dogs tore it up pretty good. Looking for something more durable
You can use a pressure washer, you just have to wait at least 3 days after so the wood can dry out. I am not sure why that is a problem since you have to leave the other chemical cleaners for a day or two as well.
Pressure washing raises the grain of the wood. On the advice of the paint centre of our local hardware store, we pressure washed a few year old deck and let it dry out for days, and then coated with 2 coats of Benjamin Moore solid stain. Just a a year later, half of the stain was peeled off of the deck.
We complained to the store, and a Benjamin Moore representative came to our home to evaluate. The representative stated that we should never have been told to pressure wash the deck prior to staining because it raises the grain and hinders adhesion. The blessing was that Benjamin Moore replaced all of our stain, even though it likely wasn't their product that failed. We are talking 8 gallons of stain, so my husband and I were very happy that the expensive stain would at least be covered.
To properly prep our deck for the new stain, I sanded the entire deck with a hand sander. We have A LOT of decks (4 in total), so it took some time, but the result was a much more stable surface to which the stain could adhere. We moved a couple of years later, and the solid stain was still in very good condition. Also, the representative stated that if your deck is gray and weathered, the deck is full of small, feather-like wood particles. Stain or paint won't adhere well to it. If you have ever stained a weathered, gray deck, pick up a piece of stain that peeled off of it, and look at the back. You will see the gray fibres on it. You either need to sand it off or wash it with a particular cleaner (can't recall now what it is called). We opted to sand to be sure the deck was properly prepared for stain. Can't say how well it held up after a couple of years, as we moved away and no longer own the home. Hope this helps someone. :-)
@@jesus.maryandjoseph8880GoodMorning, and are you Catholic lol??
@Jesus, The Savior of all the world.
Peace
@smokeysmith1282 Good morning! Yes, I am, and I love Jesus with all of my heart and soul!! God bless you! 🙂
From experience, no matter what you use, such products may last up to 2 years. On horizontal surfaces, especially up north, the expansion & contraction of wood & Deckover - like products will begin to peel and flake. I reapply every 2 years and spot fix annually. This amount of work seems equivalent to proper yearly maintenance of new decks.
If only previous homeowners maintained these decks from the start, eh?
Awesome
Very nice. How much gap between boards?
so helpful! Thank you so much! I will be doing this for the next few weekends on 450 sqft of deck!
Do not do it ! It is waste of money ! Trust me
Do not use this product , trust me
Can't the decking be primed first... before decking paint on top
Excellent Job! Thanks for the great detailed breakdown, step by step. Incredibly helpful! The rails look Amazing too! How did you do the rails? Please?
Don’t use Behr deck over. It chips and peels after 6 months of whethering. Awful product
@@tylerlyon9621 Thank you! Good looking out!
@@tylerlyon9621 Where are you located? And did you clean it well and wait 24+ hours in decently high temps to let it dry?
Good work and presentation.
That’s crazy. God bless Cabot
Good job bud.
Question about the deckover colors what did you use for the rails and for the floor? Really liking the duo colors. Thank you for this.
It's at the beginning of the video
Hi can we use this on a brand new deck? My deck has 2 layers. First was done last year and I didn’t paint it yet. This year I just finish the second lower section. Now, can I use that product or it’s just over kill?
Did you use the deck over painting on your railing or just the floor?
On the pamphlet it said for prep to use the Deck Over cleaner. Why did you use this one?
i have an 850 sq. ft. deck how long would this take?
Do you have a current picture or video, how did it hold up?
I am curious if you have any peeling from the product to date? How long ago did you apply deck over? My deck is peeling so can I add another coat of deck over after power washing the loose particles of wood that have peeled off or do I need to purchase new wood?
420fergie we did use a similar product ( restore ) was beautiful covered all our cracks and plus. But It didn’t last. In order to stay as beautiful according to my husband it needs to be redone every year.
and everybody don't forget to tape up around your deck especially on your siding
Yes, I would like to know how long it lasted before it started peeling like crazy. I bet one year maybe less. Behr has a terrible product. I wish I never used it. It did look nice at first. Many other people that have used this product say the same thing.
You think Cabot would be better?
This deck had never been stained or painted before. Wonder how this would work on a deck that has previously been stained/painted. Nevertheless, still an interesting videol.
Did you apply the waterproofing product after?
I believe there's a class action lawsuit on this product it's come up in sheets and I'm not the only one this has happened to
I had an awful experience with this stuff. I used the thickest variety they had at the time. It started drying from brushing out of the bucket. It filled the cracks between the boards. My deck formed puddles when it rained and the paint was shot after two years. I sanded the shit out of it too. Even in between the boards. Should have cut between the boards with a buzz saw. Its probably a good product but go with the thinner on than you think you need. I'm going to stick with sealers.
After a year of an ohio winter and direct summer this garbage was peeling off looked great at first
24 hours of sunshine? Where does that happen? The South Pole? Hahaha!
Just kidding... I know what you meant .I’m going to use these products... you convinced me.
I've been waiting all summer for at least three straight days of sunshine and no rain... Hasn't happened yet. SE Minnesota.
god I hope you didn't use this crap.
I did 2 decks using this product. Looked great for a year. Two years later most of it bubbled and chipped off. I now need to completely strip 2 large decks. I heard that I was supposed to use a primer first so it may be my own fault.
I’ve never heard or seen primer for decks. Where would you find such a thing?
no. The product just sucks. It really does.
what did. you use on the handrails and spindles??
Great video! Did you use the same material for the railings?
+David Wachtendonk I used a Behr deck stain, it's from the same colour pallets as the deck over so it matches well. The deck over would be really difficult to use vertically because it is so "stretchy or rubbery" and it has a long drying time so it would drop off before drying
Thanks!
How much material did a deck that size require?
How does it look now? I read/watched some terrible reviews about it chipping after only one year.
