Ratings & Reviews for Cabot DeckCorrect Tintable Tintable Solid Exterior Wood Stain and Sealer in One ( 5-gallon )

I'll keep you posted 7.9.20

My deck is 2 yrs old, needed help bad. We sanded both levels and flipped boards and replaced boards. The Deck Correct is looking awesome and hope it holds up around pool. Time will tell. 2nd coat going on this weekend and finishing up loose ends,

Colors very different than swatches

Quality of paint was okay. Color on the other hand was VERY different than the swatch. My only preference in color was to avoid one with a red tint. Unfortunately the color I picked “oak brown” which did not look red on the swatch, turned out very red.

Very disapointed

I was looking forward to brining new life to "Party Deck" My wife had picked out the color and I had power washed the deck. I mixed the paint throughly with my drill bit attachement. I started in and it was very thick and doing a great job. When it came to drying it dryed several shades lighter than the paint sample, what i had mixed up,what was on my brush and in my pan. It is very disapointing and now the wife has to pick out a new color for the railing etc.

Literally A Right Off

After the second year it began to ripe right off the deck! I was told it would last for 10 years not 2. I would not recommend. :(

Not Impressed So Far

After doing research on similar products I choose Deck Correct and I am very skeptical about this product. The color samples and the actual material is very different and this was very frustrating because we were trying to match our siding.It also didn't appear to be as thick as I thought it would be and this made filling counter sunk screw holes very difficult and time consuming and I am still finding pin holes. We set our patio furniture back on the deck after two days of drying time and the f...

So far - exactly as expected.

I decided to use the Deck Correct to give a well l-worn, previously stained wooden deck a new lease on life. We had previously used a toner & that product did not wear well -AT ALL! It was beautiful for a summer & then started peeling. We allowed it to mostly wear away over two seasons & used an outdoor rug to camouflage it a bit. We took extra care to surface prep & used wood cleaner, power washer & Sanding to give us the best possible chance for a good outcome. We liked the idea of an ...

Deck Disaster

What a disaster. The stain grips dirt and you can’t clean it. It looks terrible all the time. Our deck is also too hot to walk on. I’ve literally burned my toe to the point of blisters. This is criminal. Run from this product.

Color match off

we picked a few colors online as options however the store didn't offer them. The option we went with was Syracuse which was a cream/beige with a slight green undertone. What we got was pale army green... it is awful for what we wanted.... love the color selection if they were true and everyone had the same current colors. Hesitant now to buy in quantity needed because of this.

3rd year in and is great

I used other deck paints to keep an older cracking deck in decent shape. Cabot deck correct has had zero bubbling or peeling after 3 years.

Good product

I applied this stain about 5 weeks ago on an aging douglas fir deck in western Oregon. Not the best decking product but I didn't want to replace the deck. The deck boards had lots of cracks and checks, but the deck was generally still solid. I pressure washed and rough sanded bad spots with a random orbital sander. This product is quite thick, so 1 gallon doesn't go as far as regular stain. I am very happy with this product. The finish is opaque, which I knew it would be. It is kind of rough d...

Why is the color so off?

I love the coverage of the product, but the color is so far off!! I had chosen Victory Gray. The color applied and dried to baby blue. We did the entire deck hoping it would dry to the color shown on the color card. All 4 gallons (they didn't have a 5 gallons bucket) were the same formula. The positve is that the coverage is fantastic. The deck was dark brown and new wood. We at least have a deck that is all one color, even if it is baby blue. Since the coverage is so good, we are go...

Total Disaster

I totally redid our large deck with this product last summer. It looked good at first. By this Spring it started to bubble up and peel all over. You can grab ahold of strips and lift it right off. I did all the prep work as instructed and applied accordingly. At his point I am left with trying to find a way to strip the entire large deck and redo it with a different product (which will not be Cabot). After many years in the construction business, I am shocked that such a well known company...

Great product

We have an older deck that needed some attention. It faces due west so it takes a beating during the summer months. I power washed the deck 2 times and then let it dry about 2 weeks before adding the deck correct. I put down the first coat one night and the next night put down the second coat and our deck is transformed into something that now looks great! Fills in the little cracks and no more little splinters. It does cover more than the label says which says approximately 75 square feet. I bo...

Problems with Bubbles

I followed the directions very carefully and made sure the deck was completely dry before applying. However, after two days, there are bubbles all over the place. Afraid we are going to have to strip the whole thing and start over with another product.

Worst mistake ever

Had my deck rebuilt 2 years ago and we used this product to create what I thought would be a beautiful finished look. We even painted the front porch to match. Huge mistake! The surface of the porch and deck have a rough feel to it like sandpaper, and it picks up every speck of dust and dirt imaginable. We cannot keep it looking clean. It appears to have pollen and mildew on it all the time. I have tried everything to clean it. No amount of elbow grease is sufficient. I do not own a power washer...

Deck now looks like cement! UGH!

I waited to spread at 73 degrees. But, still three strokes and the paint was so dry that it was pilling up! Paint is thick as milk chocolate brownie mix. Now the surface looks and feels like cement, not wood! The instructions should have a warning about painting when over 70 degrees! And don't over-stroke. Three strokes and hope the cracks got filled. AND one gallon dod not even cover flat part opf deck so NOW I have to buy another gallon of the stupid stuff!

Color off, nice product

I like the product And it power washed without chipping which is awesome for Michigan weather. I also like the texture. But I can’t get the gray color I want, it dries lighter then samples. My 1st color, driftwood gray, not only dried too light it is now stained from dirt. . This year I went and bought dark gray and repainted, It didn’t dry dark like the sample and dirt will be visible Again with this light coloring. I’m not sure what to do except charcoal and hope it dries lighter ...

Finally peeled !!!

Bought this product in August of 2015. Did the prep work (power washed) my 15 year old deck. The outcome was incredible filled cracks 1/4 inch deep and ended up with a nice smooth surface. I have power washed it every spring for mildew and dirt (New Hampshire winters are brutal). Just power washed it last weekend and got some peeling. Just ordered another 4 gallons to do it again. Never expected 4 years of service. Great product Cabot !

Love it!

For over 10 years we have struggled with keeping stain on our deck. In 2018 I used Deck Correct on my deck and it is the best thing I have every done! It withheld the Wisconsin winter, my dog being on it and moving furniture around on it. This is the best investment I have ever made!

scartches

I appiled last week . Looked great for first two days After alllowing my dog and family back on the deck I am highly disappointed with the way it shows dust and dirt . The worse is the sratches from my dogs toenails I dremeling nail short and smooth and the scratches keep appearing . Wish I had never started this project . Any suggestions ? Is there a protective coating that may help ?
