- I posted what my deck looks like after 1 year of having put down Deck Restore, look for Deck Restore Applying Done By Home owner after 1 year part 2, 2013
Thank you - you are a sweetheart to share this with everyone. Lots of work just to be helpful. Lucky wife/family you have. Hope they appreciate having a real man in the house.
its been a month now, so far deck restore has stood up to what it claims, my kid loves it and no one has slip of fallen on the deck as in the past, it has superior grip when coming in and out of the pool, the color and material have not worn down. i feel that this product is the best in the market right now!
I have add this to my 16 x24 deck 3 yrs ago after several years of using a stain. i used restore 10X 3 years ago with no issues. The key is applying the 2nd coat after a solid week of drying. I noticed 2 days was not long enough to really harden. I have a dog and saw some scratches after 1 application ad day 2 of drying. I applied second coat and let dry for
5 days and this stuff is hard even with the dog and metal chairs sliding. It covered all the cracks and splinters. I bought the 4x for my verticals and it worked very well
I applied last year and its held up great even after a hard Michigan winter I think the cleaning before is important and if your deck is too far gone it's not gonna fix it!
Thanks for the roller idea! I would have never thought the cut it to fit the board like that. Good job!
Hey, Eddie -- Thanks so much for taking the time to show all the different aspects of applying the Deck Restore. I enjoyed it, and your tips have saved lots of people a lot of time and effort, I'm sure!
Thank you for sharing this video definitely will help me on my project I have to say that I really want to come and relax in your pool!
Eddie, I got the 1st coat of Deck Restore down about a month ago just before our daughters graduations party this past month. It turned out Great. I am going to get started on the 2nd coat shortly and add some water this time. Have had positive comments from several people and No more spinters!!!. Thanks Tim
Thank you so much for taking the time to post this. My husband and I were trying to decide if this was worth the investment. Greatly appreciate your time.
Kerri Seller NNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Sincere thanks for taking the time to do this! I am still torn with doing my deck floors one more time with stain, or going to Restore ... my wood is nearly identical to yours, and I know that once if I use Restore, there's no turning back!
Hey Eddie, thanks for making the Rustoleum Restore video. It's more helpful to see an honest demo by a real homeowner than by a manufacturer. I only recently saw this product advertised on TV and I can't believe that this product is intended to be applied so thickly with a resultant lumpy finish texture. I understand that the intent is to bridge/fill the cracks as a filler, but I'd be inclined to apply the product with a squeegee to force it into the cracks and finish with a thinned application.
Great video! I've been toying with the idea of using this product and really appreciate the up-close experience you provided. Thank you!!!!
Eddie- thanks for the tip on cutting down the roller and the capping it. Saves the waste of material between the boards.
Thanks, your vid sealed the deal for our choice in deck restoration. Looking forward to the follow up. Blessings to you and the family.
I know we had a tough winter here in Mass. but I used it on my front farmers porch in the late summer/early fall 2013. It is now June, 2014 and now the steps and part of the porch are peeling and flaking. The steps got salt over the winter the porch did not now the porch is also peeling. I used it on vertical areas above my lattice work it is staying on there. Home Depot had a "paint expert" who told me you need to clean/power wash the whole deck, remove any old finish including any old stain or water repellent or the paint will not have anything to stick to.
The main thing I need to add with any product you choose to apply to a deck is you need to apply a coat of protection not just a coat if color. That's the number one cause of failure is not applying it thick enough. The second main cause is moisture being sealed inside the wood. People tend to pressure wash their deck and once it looks dry then they apply their product. There is still tons of moisture inside the wood which wreaks havoc to the adhesion process.
Hey Eddie, thanks for taking the time to make this video. It was very helpful!
Eddie:
Great job on the vid!! Thanks for taking the time to post the video. My wife and I have to do the same thing with our deck. We chose the Restore stuff because like you we are just plain tired of mucking with the deck. We each have jobs and other things to do besides refinish the deck. We experimented last year with the product on the tops of the rails to see if the product was going to work as advertised and it has so, the rest of the deck will be done more or less the same way.
We used deck restore by rocksolid in September of 13, by spring 14 it was peeling and flaking. It is just an awful products, it has your hopes so high, and you go thru a ton of work and $$$ to get it done, and wow, it looks great when you are done, but only lasts a few months.
9:37 made me laugh out loud because it reminded me of myself. I always get directly like that but that just shows how hard we work! People who don't work don't' get dirty! ha! Great video! Thanks man!
Thanks for doing this. This is very helpful and will help me next week when I do my deck. I really appreciate it!
Pro tip Deck over is a better product but you must prepare the surface properly that’s why there are some bad reviews about it, I’ve used it on many decks with no complaints up to 5 years later.
Thanks guy, appreciate your time in putting this on youtube from a regular guys perspective.....nice area you have. take care
Eddie you are a nice straight honest humble man, good luck in your life.
Thank you! You're quite the handyman! I am going to be using this on my deck and you have helped with my planning! God bless!
Wow great video, good to see a real person doing a real world review. Thanks Eddie! I'm going to give it a try, might do mine a little thicker with just 1 cup of water.
Solid stain is a label and acts more like paint than stain. For a better result you need an oil based stain but even that won't work after the deck has been painted with solid stain!!
Great video Eddie! I can't wait to see the follow up. I am about to put this Restore on my deck and your video was really helpful.
ur very welcome, i will be making another after the winter to see how well it held up, if u need more help just ask no problem, i love to help,
Eddie, thank you for making this video and sharing how Restore works! I searched to see if I wanted to buy Restore and your video has provided everything I needed to know! I'm not sure how old the product is, not very, I think, so I don't know if anyone can say if it really lasts 10-12 years. But your video has helped me a lot! I appreciate your hard work and sharing it with us. God bless you!
We put it on one summer a couple of years ago. It was great during that summer but peeled off the following spring. Thankfully it was a major peeling so I could powerwash most of it off.
Excellent video, thank you, it was helpful... Interested in seeing your second video of how it held up after the winter.
your very welcome, if u are buying the 5gal. tubs if u add water like i did, use appox. 32 oz. of water, use a whip with a drill to mix it, u can get a whip at home depot in the compound/ taping section by the sheetrock. it make me happy that i can help
To avoid the cracks from reappearing you can fill them with an appropriate filler instead of relying on the paint material to fill the cracks. Using a glue shot down into the crack or split may help to stop it from further splitting. Waterproof glue would be advisable being near water. it seems like for opaque finishes using A primer would make for better adhesion. Pressure washing the surface would create a better bond as well. With the sun exposure nothing will last forever. Sun is really what kills paint. Its all really in the prep as far as longevity is concerned. A properly prepped surface will last many years more than a poorly prepped surface. Within about a year bad prep will look as if it hadnt been painted in 30 years. Your deck looks great.
Thank you Eddie! I really enjoyed watching your video and it was very helpful. You are a terrific person! Very inspiring to me! I think I might be able to do my deck now :)
It is a great product. I have done about 7 decks over the last year and all my clients love the results.
Behr makes a similar product called Deck Over and I have used that 2 times but, its not as thick and doesn't fill the cracks and splits as well.
Well 8 years later how many did you have redo? Because nobody likes this product season 2. Literally 90+% complain.
@@Coupe420 I haven’t been in contact with all my past customers but two of them I’m still close and they have had minimal problems. This product doesn’t mean your deck will miraculously last for life. I’ve had to re-apply in small areas because of wood splitting but nothing more than normal upkeep. My guess is the ones who have had less than acceptable outcomes didn’t apply it right or thought their horribly damaged decks would miraculously be cured by this product.
Thanks Eddie! I am going to be doing our deck next week and your video was really helpful!
Good job guy,Very informative.I will be using this on my new deck.You made my job easier.
when i used this product, it was made by the company Syntainc, and its on its 2nd year of being applied and I can say I HAVE NO FLAKING OR CHIPPING WHAT SO EVER. But now i see that the company that is making it is call Restore by Rust-OLEUM, I used Deck Restore made by Syntainc, I'am thinking that Rust- Oleum bought the product from Syntainc, and maybe altar the formula, another thing you must follow the direction, i will post another video on how my deck looks on its 2nd year, thank you so much, Handyeddie1
handyeddie1
Thanks, Eddie! This was very helpful. I'm ready to start working on my deck now!
I used this product 6 months ago half of it has already worn off. We cleaned as they said and put on two coats. It took twice the amount of product as it said would cover and6 months later one half has rubbed off. We have to be careful or we will bring it into our home from the bottom of our shoes. We could have built a new deck for just a little more money
He mentioned putting EXTRA cup of water per gallon (as he read other folks did), would that have made a difference do you think?
I used to be a paint contractor.Last deck I restored,I sanded on that thing for a straight week after pressure washing.I did this job by the hour,I didn't know any way to price the unknown amount of time it would take.When I finished,the total was probably more than the material to put down new wood deck boards.I knocked about half the price off,apologized for not suggesting it first,and changed my entire approach to deck finishing.I started recommending just that ,to replace rather than restore.Of course homeowners looked at me like I was crazy,I eventually just retired from a never thankful job that nobody else wanted,but who everybody was an expert.I say sit on your deck,enjoy it,and don't stress over it,it is not furniture.The day you have your house painted is the best it will ever look.Every day after,it will look worse.The sun and rain will beat it up.Fact of life.PS,I don't know why this post in my girlfriends name,and no time to figure it out.My name is Walt.Good grief.
Thanks guy! A great video, a lot of good information.
I just finished using the restore 10x. Kinda pleased the only downside is that it doesn't go far took me a total of 20gallons for my deck floor. I just hope that it last a long time lol
just go over the old stain, it seems that this deck restore really bonds well to the wood so far so good
Dave Smith.... PAY A LITTLE MORE FOR COMPOSITE DECKING?! Are you freaking kidding me?! I built a 30'x40' deck on back of my house 4 yrs ago with treated. The reason I used treated?! 3 times CHEAPER than composite. Not everybody can afford that kind of expensive product! Granted, composite is the way to go for low maintenance, but waaaaaaaay too expensive if you want to build a large deck. I find this product AWESOME, and am excited to apply this product to my deck ASAP.
The problem I had with this stuff, is that if it gets the tiniest nick or crack, water seeps in and gets underneath, and the restore layer gets separated from the wood, and you'll notice it'll peel up very easily. Maybe it would have been better if I put a thin under coating on first with a lot of pressure. We've had ours for 3 years and it's still pretty decent.
this is for old decking thats on its last leg and not new wood, so read the instructions and take your time for a nice job...You want to see the wood grain then use Wolman F&P or a Semi Trans stain.....Its made to restore old decks...
Hi Eddie, Tyvm for taking the time to share your experience. I'm wondering what happens after the 8-10 yr. expected shelf life of this product. Will it needed to be sanded off? Sand blasted? Will it eventually begin to chip away? Can't seem to find any long term case study examples.
Thanks again for taking the time to show everyone your experience with this product!
PS. Awesome tip on adding water, and the roller. I just went to Amazon and saw the suggestions. I was worried about the affect it would have on the paint/durability
I agree with Levi. I spent over $1,000.00 to cover my deck. My wife and I spent countless hours cleaning and preparing the deck for restore.We go away for the winter and when we returned in early April the deck is bublling and peeling every where. I used my leaf blower to clean up the chips off the deck as the chips stick to your shoes and bare feet. And what do you know.... When I was using the blower more chips continue coming off the deck... I have sent e-mails to Rustoleums web address and called customer service and nothing. It is JUNK! do not use.
Same issue here
Michael Mueller Exact same thing happened to me. What a mess. I called Olympic and they are giving me a full refund. He told me that Lowes was aware of the issues Olympic was having. Don't waste your money. Same reviews and same problems with Rustoleum.
This was with Rustoleum - the fixed it
OMG I know you regretted putting that shit down. It's good for about 6 months to a year at best. Good luck!
Your video was very helpful. I appreciate the time you took to create it. I would like to know how well the RESTORE holds up in one, two and three years. The comments made by others have me concerned that this material is far from maintenance free and may need replacement more often than just placing a sealer with pigment.
I too would like to know how the product is holding up on your deck
Jeanette Geffert trust me...IT ISN'T
When in the planning phase of a very large multi deck project my client and I contact Rust-O-Leum support staff in regards to their product Restore. We explained to them that we were going to put their product over another product on one deck and we needed to seal their product on all the decks. The Restore did not adhere to the other product we were covering and bubbled up even when we told the specifically what the other product was. We had to completely re-deck this deck
This video may change your mind about this product its called Restore Deck Nightmare here on youtube.
when building a deck the boards should be crib stacked and covered for one year or more to cure before being nailed down nailing down a board with moisture in it causes the cracks
I dont know anyone who stacks their deck boards for year and then builds the deck. It sounds like a good idea
I used this product on a rather older deck that needed re-staining or painting. Restore was highly recommended at my Ace Paint Center. After applying according to directions last September, the deck is peeling and bubbling all over this spring. In fact, some spots come off with a broom. It has resulted in a mess with which to deal and a loss of money. I do not recommend its use!!
did you have any waterproof stain on the deck already . this is notr paintable and must be well aged or removed for any film coating to stick. the problem is not rustoleum but the true value store. try a benjamin moore dealer also deck stain remover contains lye and causes permanat skin damage! its mot labled well enough and should not be sold try citric orange stripper 60f in the shade pen 15 min covered with mil plastic three hrs removed with brush and electric spinning pressure washer. it has buffered lye and is safer . the runoff is considered less harmful
Most solid stains last 5-7.... I would be curious how this product holds up with the pool and chlorine.... The only down side is once this goes bad there is no stripping it off it is replacing boards.
still great
Thanks for the video! It is very helpful. Hoping to hear what you think about this product after a year has passed.
Good job Eddie! Well done ! Thank You .
not to mention composite decking is also not resistant to warping and can also cause floor joists to rot.
expect to pay a good price for labor...as a painter I will tell you all to educate yourselves prior to getting bids....I get so sick of fence contractors using cedar boards and then using regular nails with iron which causes black tannin bleed...use stainless steel nails and screws with cedar which wont bleed...they cost a lot more than regular nails and screws....its this kind of stuff that I have to fix on re stains that drives me crazy and people dont want to pay the labor for quality work
Worst mistake we ever made. Time consuming and costly. I am not sure that we wlll not have to replace some of the planks. As a lawyer I think class action but we would all probably get 2.00$ who got duped into using this product
yup waiting to hear the 1 year review...last year after watching this, i put it in my work trailer.. I clean carpets and other floors, so it has a lot of water and equipment going in and out....maybe i will do a video of what it looks like... But I have a new deck I did, that i am wanting to put this on 1st, instead of messing with "other" stains/paints... What does everyone think??? think it works after weathering for about a mth now??
do not use this product!! my deck is rotting away before my eyes from the inside out, did not notice until i change my pool that i discovered the wood rotting, by next year i will need to change the deck
Deck Restore is bad news... I've seen 6 deck this year where the finish is peeling up on the horizontal surfaces already and unfortunately it cannot be stripped off. Once you use it and it fails plan on replacing your decking.
it's going on 4 years and it still the same, the color got a little darker when the weather get better i will post pictures
+handyeddie1 Thanks for the update. I'm 50/50 on getting this stuff. I see some people posting that they have problems with it, and then others who say they that they love it.
you know that best way to get good results is follow the direction to the tee, i am in the construction business for close to 40 years, and that deck was my first ever built, so i already had invested about $500 on the last stain and sealer from Benjamin Moore and it lasted 2 years, so when i saw this product that last 7 to 10 years i follow the directions and clean and pret the deck as told by company, and my deck is still fine
handyeddie1
. The Restore support staff also told us to use a water based sealer to seal their product so we started sealing one of decks and the sealer had a reaction with the Restore and changed colors. Now we have one deck with very strange looking colors and 2 decks with no sealer and wood exposed to the elements. We have had no further help from the Rust-O-Leum Restore support staff on how to correct the problems
I'm curious to know if you cleaned the deck first. If you didn't clean and remove surface contaminants the product will not hold up anywhere near the amount of time the manufacturer suggests.
The thought below was written by a woman, John's wife. Didn't want you to think my husband was calling you a sweetheart :)
yes I clean the deck with bleach and a power washer, and my deck never had a oil base stain
go for it the winter did nothing at all, just a little dirty
yes you kind do not thin it with water, I use a regular roller but did not like the finish
Looks great. Nice work Eddie.
Did you roll on the deck restore over old stain or did you have to strip off the old stain first and take the deck board down to bare wood?
Thanks!!!
Since it has been a few weeks since your video with 2 week followup at the end. Any other comments to date? We have been considering the RESTORE. Thanks for any info!!
I hope mine is this good after five years. It is expensive, but it may be worth it?
Eddie thanks for the video...great job and very helpful tips (cutting the roller) I have a 350 sqft deck you said you have 500sqft and used only 5, 5 gallon buckets to do 2 coats. im thinking I would need 7, 5 gallon buckets to do 5 coats. Maybe my calculations are off. 1, 5 gallon bucket says it covers 100 sqft. any tips you have or info would be great. Thank you for your video and help
Hi Eddie, nice work. I have two questions. First, can you apply that stuff on vertical surfaces? Second, could you use a regular roller to minimize the texture? Either that or follow it with a brush to knock down some of the bumps. I am wanting to use this for something other than a deck, and don't necessarily need the texture like you would in a situation where you will walk on it. Again, great work!
Hay Eddie, good job.
Thanks
Hey, Eddie. Please let us know how this has held up over the winter. Did the cracks resurface or did they stay concealed? Thanks sooooo much for your time.
I just bought cappuccino today,,,, is that what you used. Looks great.
Eddie, I'm not certain if you have reported on the Restore after the winter season.. I would like to know if it has held up? Thanks for the video..
I thought you were supposed to put the second coat down right when the first coat dries as to keep any dirt from building up between coats?
DO TELL! How did it hold up after the winter. Also, pulling chairs around deck.....does it flake off at all?
Also, I'm concerned with the terms "light power washing". Do you know if a standard household power washer will too much pressure to clean the surface with?
Hey Eddie- FANTASTIC video. Thanks for taking the time to show us your process. Did you use the standard Restore Product, or the Liquid Armor version?
Wondering if the type of wood makes a difference? I have redwood decks.
when power washing do not hold the washer close to the deck have someone help you , one person scrubbing the deck as you power wash the same spot
Yo eddie hope all is well, its been about a year since you applied deck restore can you do a follow up video on the product
thanks.
Hi Eddie,
Have you gotten around to doing the follow up video? I am wanting to do the deck restore so I do not have to replace my entire deck flooring. I am curious how it holds up after a year, especially with the cracks that had already came back on you after two weeks.
Thanks!
Thanks! Nice Video
Eddie thanks so much for posting this, I have been thinking about this product for my deck and you have convinced me to use it. One question - did you try and pre fill the cracks with product - I have watched their commercials and thought it would be extremely time consuming. Great job and thanks again!
Dave
deck restore stain for cutting and doing in between the deck planks, and then use deck restore for covering the top of the planks
I have had the same experience as Randy Gardner. Expensive mistake and worst deck product I have used in 30+years. Looked great for 6 months, but this spring it is chipping off everywhere. Menards, please stop selling and take off the shelf.
Any updates on how it held up?
You did not clean it first? Latex product over oil that is not going to work without sanding
Same here in NY. Wish I had video of this crap peeling up in 20 mph winds....20 inch chunks blowing away! I used behr 10x restore at 69$ per. Now its 3/4 gone after 6 mo. Don't buy it!
Hi Eddie, we are in the south and wondering if the deck gets hotter with the acrylic than it did on regular wood?
Have you had a chance to take any video after 1 year? I am considering purchasing this same item and wanted to see how it lasted after a year.
Kids, don't try cutting the roller cover like he did at home!
Eddie
WOW. Thank you. You were right on it. Glad I had friends to help!. Laura4N6RN
Nice grill!
