Night Elf Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Is it possible to restore a very weathered, scruffy looking, painted deck? The idea of the replacement cost is very scary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happi duck Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 We were at a bbq where the homeowner was thrilled with a specific Home Depot Behr product. He mentioned that this was his last ditch effort before replacing the deck. It was a paint product that filled in spaces and remedied slivers. We were guests of someone else so this isn't someone I could call and ask. I'll try to find it on the hd site when I can. ETA: I think it is called Deckover.

Mama Geek Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Is the wood solid and just looks bad or soft and rotten? I have helped in pressure washing a deck and then staining it and I have helped in pressure washing railings and repainting them. Paint removing, pressure washing and repainting is doable if the wood is good, but it is alot of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbecueMom Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 http://rustoleumrestore.com/dcr/ I've seen the commercial for this one several times, along with the Behr brand that's similar. We just used the Rustoleum stuff. I don't like it as much as I thought I would. I was hoping for a composite-like texture, but it turned out very gritty. It's like walking on sandpaper. It also peels up if chairs get scooted on it, which happens a lot with two little kids. That could be a user error issue though. But it worked well as far as sealing cracks in the wood.
