Poor quality deck stain.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Valspar - Poor quality deck stain.
I used Valspar one coat exterior stain in sealer solid all weather defense... To ready the deck for the stain I sanded it pressure, washed it and then applied two coats of stain. It has scratches and marks all over it and the stain did not stay on my deck. I live in a wet area which is why I chose this stain and it is not holding up at all.

Terrible paint. Can't smooth it out after a minute. Rolls up in balls.

Completely disgusted with paint. Third kind we bought painting our house. Only got because we were already at Lowe's. Regret it so much. Wouldn't use it again if they gave it to me for FREE. We were definitely satisfied with other paint. Definitely a learning lesson.

Paint is horrible to use.

Doesn't give time to blend and rolls up in balls. Never had a problem with any other paint. We are painting all of our rooms and this is third type of paint. Just got it because we were already at Lowe's. I wouldn't use it again if they gave it to me for free. Completely disgusted.

Courtesy/politeness

I spoke with a customer rep. @ Quikrete.

The unpleasant male who answered my call was short in his hurried responses to my questions. He did not identify the company, ask how I was doing, nor how he could help me. I remained in my hard to maintain calm state. Thanked him for his time.

The only good thing he did was recommend Valspar. I hung up and googled Valspar. I then called. Within 4 rings a gentleman by the name of Tyler thanked me for my call, introduced himself, and asked how he could help me.

He returned me to a good emotional place. He was patient and answered my questions re: Waterproof birdbath sealants. Valspar didnt, unfortunately, have what I needed. But upon asking he recommended S.Ws I wanted his immediate supervisor and all others concerned to know that his courtesy was very much appreciated.

Thank you. Mr.

I painted my man cave (red), I had to paint the walls for times and it still looks like crap. Now I've got to repaint the room, but not with Vaspar paint. I'm 75 and painting a room over at my age is not fun. Total waste of my time and my money. So sad.

Requested Valspar Duramax Ultra white but was given 10605 base 5 un-tinted

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Purchased 5 gals of Valspar Duramax and product peeled, cracked and bubbles. When back to Lowes to speak with a paint rep and was told I should of received paint 9576 Valspar Duramax ultra white not 10605 un tinted. I picked up 10 gals of the correct paint Valspar Duramax 9576 but still had to fix all the problems created peeling , bubbles and cracks. I have never had a issue with Valspar but this time I did and when I asked about a warranty it seemed like a joke I almost lost client. The batch had a issue with it. I'll never go back to Lowes.

STILL HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING FROM Valspar which is sad that a Multi-million dollar company won't respond to a error from one of there own suppliers. It's been 6 months and nothing at all, it boggles the mine. DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO CONTACT Valspar ????

Worst paint application I've ever had

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I was so excited to use this paint as I had heard good things about it and I found it on sale. Well, it's not even worth the sale price. I got a basic white paint. Although it appears quite thick at first there is very little coverage. I had to apply 4 coats of paint to cover up the original colour of the walls which was an off white. When it dried it was so patchy. For 2 walls I used nearly a full 5 litre tub. I still have the rest of my room to do but I'm actually going to buy a different brand and redo the whole thing.

Original review Jun 02, 2022
Purchased 5 gallons of Valspar Duramax White. I've use this brand for many of years but this is the first time the paint has cracked and peeling causing damage to a customers home.

I went back to Lowes to grab the required gals needed to fix the issue caused from the 1st 5gal bucket to complete the job and hopefully not lose a client. So I went back to Lowes and purchased10gal Valspar Duramax 9576 ultra white and went to speak with someone because something wasn't right. I spoke with another paint rep at Lowes to find out the rep made a mistake and sold me un-tinted Valspar Duramax paint 10605 Base 4 paint and didn't mix it as I requested, laziness,
Furthermore, I was told there's nothing I can do. Whats a warranty for if you won't honor it.

I have pictures of what happened and a light coat and the damage that that 5 gals caused. The time that will now have to be spent correcting this mess.
Valspar / Lowes you have lost my business.
Home Depot here I come.

Terrible coverage

With the cost of paint nowadays dont waste your time with this horrible product. Excessively thin and no coverage. I bought an investment property and the only place around was a Lowes. I was stuck getting this expensive garbage. Go to Home Depot and get Behr paint, far far superior
