"Don't paint your deck", let me show you why, by Power washing Dragon and Painting, PDP. In this cool commercial / how to, short video shot on location in Mastic NY we attempt to show why its a very bad idea to put paint on your exterior wood decking. An unfortunate decision made by one of the previous owners of this mastic house had forced the new owners to repaint this deck year after year with less than optimal results. This constant maintenance have been grueling to say the least and still without achieving the look they wanted. Painting a exterior wood deck, most of the time, is not a good idea but to paint an exterior wood deck that sits at ground level is definitely a no no. The problem is that the underneath, unsealed or unprotected side of the wood acts like a sponge absorbing water from the ground then pushing it through the front finished side of the planks. Since paint is not breathable like stain, saturated wood easily results in the paint lifting, bubbling, possibly even coming off in sheets to the point of total failure. Again they have made the decision to paint it for the last season before ripping it up and replacing it with Trex or some other less maintenance demanding product.

You made a few good points crazy, but like you said you are no pro. Most professionals would agree you should stain vs paint exterior wood, whenever possible, especially when the surface is so close to the water table, and always use the best products available despite the cost. Man hours are always usually more expensive then any product upgrade, and who can pay to do the same job twice? That's why we like doing the right job with the right products the first time.

[powerwashdragon]

Now to be fair to Behr and their product line, I am sure they are quite the reputable company. They basically offer home owner convenience, quick and fast inexpensive way to do it themselves. Now although it may be good enough for the average home owner. do it your self-er, our discerning clients want optimal results. With all that being said, we are not here to bash Behr products, I am sure they have their purpose, but for our company they have no use.

[joey45255]

you have no idea what you are talking about. My company has used behr deck stains for ove r15 years with no problems. how long have YOU been in business fool ? You need to research your products before you start posting this junk and hurting reputable companies

[powerwashdragon]

@joey45255 I looked you up. You seem to know a lot about junk and smelling toes Joey, but not much about the property beautification industry. By the way, you never mention what the name of your company is, and you never uploaded any videos. it always the guys like you, that always have so much to say. Have the best day!

@joey45255 I got on this video to learn how to rehab my deck which is peeling BIG TIME. It was finished last summer with Behr product. Will go to Sherwin Williams this time

[powerwashdragon]

@Leadwoman60 Good for you, with the right application and technique your results can be optimal. Sherwin Williams have an excellent product line called Deckscapes but currently we have been enamored by, the quality, durability, forgivefulness, and ease of use of, Benjamin Moore's Arborcoat. We also recommend Sikkens for some projects.

You can see that deck is level with the grade and has no ventilation. Any type of film forming product was destined to peel. Once someone makes a decision to paint a deck, they are married to it.

[powerwashdragon]

Well actually you would be surprised to how many people are misinformed. I think intelligence level is not an integral part of making that choice. I mean people know they should cover the deck with something but perhaps not quite sure with what. This is one of the reasons why I stay busy, but thanks for your comment

[Jpissocrazy]

It's called prepping the surface the right way.. I would use a heat gun to remove the old paint sand with a 80 grid paper apply kilz2 exterior primer then apply an exterior paint of my choice remember you get what you pay for.. I've even used Walmart color place paint on a deck and five years later still no peeling! And this deck sits about 3in off the ground.. It's all about prep work! Mind you I'm no pro but trial and erro works. When it comes to paint and most anything else your paying more

@joey45255 Behr sucks

[dwmbama68]

Try Synta Restore. By far the best product available!!

[terramar111]

So what kind of deck paint is NOT crap? We are about a week away from painting our deck. And we were about to use Behr.

[MrChazOMatic]

@punchmaster123 or use a solid color stain to give it a "painted" look :]

[LoadedChrisDRM]

Behr performs their performance tests using their highest grade paint compared to the lowest grade of the competition. That is the only way they can claim any positive results. Anytime I HAVE to use Behr, I cringe. I have been painting for 10 years, and have stained, painted, and clear coated, many many decks. Deckscapes is far superior to anything Behr can provide. I do agree that you should use a semi solid or transparent rather than solid, it just gives you more options down the road.

[punchmaster123]

Thats why you dont paint a deck you STAIN it
