BEHR

Fist off I have used and recommended Behr paints exclusively for decades. I have painted every room in my own homes with Behr and when I was contracting I painted 100's of homes using only Behr paint. When I didn't paint the job I would recommend Behr paint without hesitation to all of my customers. I've recently begun painting my current home and have had success with Behr paint until yesterday 9/14/19. I had painted 3 rooms and found the paint I purchased at the North Fayette Pa store to be the high quality I have come to expect. It had a thick easy glide application, great coverage and durable coating. I had about 3/4 of a gallon can of the i300 Pro Series ceiling paint left over from painting a kitchen, dining room and 2 bedroom ceilings. This was the 3rd gallon I had bought.

OK so I buy a 5 gallon bucket of Behr paint and lug it home several miles away and get ready to use it by removing the twist off pouring lid. Needless to say, this cannot be done by hand since the "moat" around the lid is too narrow to fit your fingers to get a good turn. So now it's remove paint clothes, get dressed, drive 12 miles back to Home Depot to buy some stupid ** opener that should not be needed in the first damn place! Who designs these stupid things?

DeckOver: Absolute worst coating....ever...In 2016, my back deck (DeckOver applied 2 years prior) was again showing sign of peeling, bare spots, and blisters (loose to the touch, sometimes split/cracked etc). As well, many of the boards showed signs of rotting underneath the coating. After replacing about half the boards, decided to re-apply a new coating of DeckOver. All instructions were followed carefully, sanding down old material, replacing boards as needed, applying out of direct sunlight etc. That was in 2016. By the summer of 2017, the above noted defects started to reappear.

Behr premium matte paint is awful. Does not cover and blotchy after 2 coats. Behr premium semi gloss white would not cover trim in 3 coats. Wasted my time and money. The primer and one paint is a scam to sell the paint. In the long run you spend a lot more money.

You would think after four consecutive summers of watching the previous year's applied two coats of Behr Deck Stain starting to lift and peel I would know better. But No, last August I rented a floor sander from the local hardware store and again proceeded to sand my mahogany deck back to bare wood - again. And again I purchased 6 gallons of semi-transparent Behr deck stain from Home Depot and spent an entire Sat applying 2 coats. Here we are, 7-25-19 and the deck is peeling again. Thompson water seal here we come!!!! Angry Home Owner, Wolfeboro, NH.

We had a professional painter paint our dining room wall with Behr Premium Plus Ultra in Matte finish. While he was painting it smelled like new paint but a couple of days later it smelled like a wet dog. It only got worse over the next few days even after my wife ran two fans on the wall and kept the windows open. We mentioned it to Home Depot where we purchased the paint and they had never heard of this. They suggested we work with Behr on this issue. John at Behr suggested that the issue may be related to several other factors unrelated to the paint.

Purchased June 2019 - for shutters, steps, front door, front porch - product does not spread. It is like paste that sticks and dries and can't smooth it out. Eight shutters = 16 hours of difficulty. Six steps another 6 hours of work - installed today - paint peels off and shows every foot step! I purchased two gallons (about $80) - however, I will NOT use on porch so have to purchase a different paint - NOT BEHR, NOT DECKOVER!!!! Worse experience I have ever had with any paint product. It was grueling hard work for the result to be half-** no matter what was done and disappointing the horrible quality of the product. Time, energy, money - WASTED!!!! DO NOT PURCHASE THIS CRAP!

I’ve been using BEHR paint for years. I painted my shed over 10 years ago and it has stood up to the harsh sea coast salt and weather. 2 years ago I painted my garage with it and today it looks as good as the day I painted it. I recently switched from a BM oil based stain because the quality of the product has gone downhill. It no longer has the oil smell and begins to peel after 2 years. I’ve never seen stain peel. Now I am painting my house with the same Behr paint.

I used BEHR's Porch and Patio paint on a cedar wood deck. For two years the paint would bubble and peel off like cheap wallpaper. The paint does not breath and traps moisture and actually causes damage to the wood surface. I had contacted BEHR (MASCO CORP) and provided samples and photos. They said they conducted an analysis but provided no proof, they did not indicate what caused the damage but only stated that the paint was not the cause. Not an honest company.

I purchased this paint on 04/02/2019 from the Iron Mountain Michigan Home Depot. I hired a painter to paint my kitchen. I noticed a problem with coverage right away. (The walls had been properly prepared.) I thought it would look better when it dried. It did not. The painter had to go over it again. Now the original color was a cream color so there shouldn't have been a problem. Even after two coats it is still blotchy with the cream color showing through everywhere. I don't know what to do. I tried the 800 number but it will not connect me to a customer service person. It just goes in an endless loop of options. I tried the website to chat and no one ever came online. My last project I used Valspar from Lowe's and it was excellent. Covered a dark color in just one coat.
