What Customers Are Saying

The Cabot's Deck Correct product received mixed reviews. Many customers reported that it went on easily, provided excellent coverage and texture, and helped restore the appearance of their aging decks. It filled in cracks and imperfections well and held up through harsh weather. However, some customers experienced issues with the product not adhering properly, leading to peeling and chipping. Others were dissatisfied with the color not matching the advertised swatch. Proper surface preparation and following the manufacturer's instructions appear to be critical for achieving the best results.

Peels right off

Would Not Recommend

Followed all directions. Didn’t even make it one year without peeling. Recommend just covering it with an outdoor carpet because any chairs will just push the paint.

Very thick and not see through

Would Recommend

I was hoping this would be a little bit see-through but it’s very thick and you can’t see the wood color through it. It sticks well to the wood.

Trapped water under coating leading to wood rot.

Would Not Recommend

Painted my front steps with Cabot Deck Correct about 3 summers ago. I had used a water sealer for years, nothing else. My steps were very weathered but solid so I wanted to get a few more years out of them. Prepped as required, filing cracks as needed, checked for any wood rot - there was none, then painted. Looked great! After 3 years some chipping on treads. Pressure washed stairs lightly in prep for what I thought would be some touch up repainting. Landing under cover still looks great. St...

Bigger nap roller

Would Recommend

We loved the way it went on but we had a 20 year old deck with some deep crack that did not fill like we thought it would. Lowes guy told us to try 1/2" nap instead of 3/8 and that fixed the issue. Love IT!

stains easy

Would Not Recommend

i have a tree next to my deck, which i like for shade purposes, within a week of finishing the application, the caterpillars started eating some of the leaves, which they do every year, well who knew that caterpillar poop stains Cabot deck correct? The bad part is that it doesn't wash off even with soap ,water and scrub brush.

You have to pay extea for tenting

Would Recommend

Covers awesome. Paint is thick and really covers with out a 2nd coat. It has a dull finish, which we like. (No slippery surface) We live on the lake and had a new decking attached to our glider house and new steps and landing going to the lake . We had used this before on our top deck of the house. Holds up great!

Unhappy color choice

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased some deck correct a few years ago and thought it would look nice and it doesn’t. I want to remove it and go back to natural wood to restrain. I don’t have the ability to do it on my own and was hoping to win a contest of some sort for a makeover.
