Ratings & Reviews for Rust-Oleum Restore

Stay Away From This Product

After 3 years using Restore, the product has ruined my deck! ! ! It allows moisture to get under the coating and start the wood rotting process! Some of the coating will peal and the part that doesn't has started the wood rotting process. I now have to replace most all of wood under the Restore. STAY AWAY FROM RESTORE ! ! !

Destroyed my deck

The 1st year started to come up by the 2nd year it was coming up in sheets. Also destroyed screws. Now i can't clean uniformly so i can put something else down

RUINS YOUR TREATED WOOD DECK!

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY! We have a large deck ! Upper and lower! We have to replace our deck now because of this product! Lowe’s needs to stop selling this garbage! Our deck is rotting !!!! This product has cost us a fortune!!!!

Don’t buy this product

Do not buy this product. I painted my deck 2 years ago, followed the instruction step by step since it was not cheap, had to reapply last year and this year is completely a mess. I am not sure what I need to do. I have double decker large deck, sanding them to pill off what is left will be in thousands of dollar. I went to Lowe’s where I bought the expensive paint and they told me I am on my own and they don’t sell it anymore. Anyone has any idea or suggestion for me?

Do not waste your time or money on this.

I bought this stuff 4 years ago and I am very disappointed with it. I have 2 rotten boards and where the water got under the stuff has left mold. Spent nearly $150 on this worthless stuff. My back deck is 15 years older than my front deck and looks twice as good and sealer is the only thing I put on it. I sent a email to the company headquarters about getting my money back but no response.

Retore 10 X

We put it on our porch floor about 2 years about it still looks like the day we put it down have had a couple of places where it is cracking or peeling but that is my fault for not preparing the wood right should of sanded it. Some friends came over and when they saw it they thought it was the engineered deck boards it really looks GREAT BUT FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTION TO THE LETTER OH AND IT IS NOT A JOB YOU WILL DO INT AN HOUR OR TWO BUT WELL WORTH IT.....before and after

Waste of money and time

Didn’t even last a year. Two years later it’s absolutely horrible. We are redoing it again but not with this paint.

Works Well - Mostly

The deck was old, gray and had not been sealed. It was power washed until wood fibers were "fuzzed". Put the product on slowly and thick. Stained the deck board edges with matching stain. Two winters later, it has faded but not pealed. There is built-in seating on two sides of the deck. Also applied the Restore to the seat boards. For some unknown reason, a couple of small patches pealed. One cautionary note: according to the deck board supplier's instructions - newly installed, pressure...

Very difficult to work with

Prepared my deck as instructed, this paint was very difficult to work with, like painting with mud! It splattered everywhere, the started peeling in big pieces within weeks. We had to pull up all of the surface boards and replace.

So far, So good.

I bought this for covering a worn, stained deck. The paint went on very easily and looks very nice and has a grit for safe walking. This paint has been on for only two weeks and hasn't been thru a winter yet. Ask me a year from now if I still like it.

time comsuming to apply, but saved our deck!

When we purchased our home 3+ years ago, the huge deck was in pretty bad shape. At 25 years old (approximately), it had splinters that the kids were getting in their feet and the deck looked, well, weathered. Overall, really happy with product as it saved my deck and, importantly, no more splinters! To prep, i power washed deck AND applied the restore primer, even though this last step wasn't advised (i stumbled upon the primer in the store). 10x restore goes on like mayonaise and the time-con...

This product was so easy to apply and it saved us from having to rebuild our deck, but it's important to do your prep work as directed. Our worn wood deck looks like new and the color is complimentary to our house colors.

Rust Oleum Restore Resurfacer

Greatest product made. Was able to save most all of my deck boards after 25 years of weather and use. Deck looks brand new with application of This product.

durable coating

This stuff does not go very far. So you will need double the amount you normally paint with. With that said I love it. Used it on my pool deck for extra traction. Very durable and tough coating. Deck is in direct sunlight with no shade and constantly exposed to harsh weather. I don't feel like it gets as hot as normal paint but thats just me. Roll on very thick and make sure to use their provided roller. I used three coats for good measure but the required two coats is good enough. The stuff is...

GREAT DECK RESTORER

THIS PAINT DOES A GREAT JOB AT FILLING IN SMALL HOLES AND CRACKS AND DRIES TO A NICE NONSLIP FINNISH

Really like the product it was easy to spread and it covered very well

DO NOT USE

Yes it filled in splintered areas, and we loved it for the first 18mths. It has now been 3 years and we are faced with a nightmare. It allows moisture to get under it. The paint is literally coming off in sheets in some areas from the moisture being under it, and it has allowed the wood to rot. We are now looking at having to replace our entire deck because of this product.

THIS PRODUCT IS GARBAGE !!! DO NOT BUY!!!!

BOUGHT THIS PRODUCT RUST-OLEUM RESTORE. I HAVE USED A LOT OF RUST-OLEUM PRODUCTS OVER THE LAST 45 YEARS THEY LOST MY BUSINESS WITH THIS ONE !!! WHEN I SAID SOMETHING TO THE SALES PERSON AT LOWES SHE TOLD ME TAKE MY COMPLAINTS TO THE RUST-OLEUM COMPANY SHE DIDN'T WANT TOO HEAR IT I WASTED ABOUT $60.00 BY THE TIME I BOUGHT 2 GALLONS AND 2 OF THE SPECIAL ROLLERS THEY RECOMMEND. EXTREMELY HARD TOO APPLY AND DOES NOT HAVE HALF THE COVERAGE AREA THE CAN IMPLIES. WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY ...
