Seal Maxx, is crazy, they use a silicone based product, it was originally used to soak telephone poles in in nothern canada, any way here is the problem,
they claim 25 year warranty, they have only benn using this on dipped poles so the whole piece of wood is covered not like decks where just the top of the board is covered so mold, moisture, etc can still come into the wood from underneath,
Another problem is they charge between $3 and $5 a sq ft and that is for clear based sealer only, it you want a tint added it is another $2-$4 a sq ft, so far a natural cedar color deck you are looking at almost $9 a sq ft so on a 1000 sq ft deck thats $9000, I have a hard time selling at $2.00 a sq ft,? And one guy I know who is a franchisee, says he has more work than he can handle, I told him, do you also believe in the tooth fairy..? Anyway, when they do go out of business in 2-4 years which they will, what are these poor folks/suckers going to do with these decks that are ruined, because you cannot strip this stuff, oh and I almost forgot, there clear sealer they use, has no UV protection, so what do they do in 1 year when the deck turns grey and black from sun damage..?
I know here where I live, they spend approx $5000 to $10000 a week on advertising, I would bet my house that there will be major lawsuits on this company just like there is on Trex maint free decks in a just a few short years, I get on average 10-20 calls a month from trex deck owners they hate their deck and cant keep it clean, but remember it is maint free for life like the manufacturer stated... Sometimes people just need to use common sense
