DeckExpert.com & Division 7 Pedestrian Traffic Coatings Featured in Better Homes & Gardens Web Article

I am pleased to announce that DeckExpert.com, along several with Div 7 Pedestrian Traffic Coatings manufacturer's were part of a Better Homes & Gardens online article on the BH&G website recently. 

I am actively seeking every opportunity I can find to promote Div 7 Pedestrian Traffic Coatings manufacturer's in print media and video. This latest article, written by Berit Thorkelson, titled "Newest No Maintenance (or Low-Maintenance) Deck and Patio Materials" features various new products and decking for homeowners to consider when building or remodeling a deck. 

Products like Solar Stone, Rail Simple Railings and more are featured along with waterproof deck coatings from Div 7. 

I gave the author quite a bit of info and listed every manufacturer of our products. Luck smiled on Dex-O-Tex, Pli-Dek and Westcoat for also garnering a mention in the few lines of print we got. 

Check out the article and see what new products are now available-don't forget to "Like" the article, Plus 1 it on Google and/or Tweet it out to your followers!

A Warranty to Watch Out For...Click here to read the maintenance requirements!

Before buying Poly Coat deck coatings, you might want to read their "Mandatory Maintenance and Care" Manual, which outlines all the things one must do if one hopes to get their limited warranty coverage.

Their clauses written fine print is inexcusable, and in my opinion is unethical.

What exactly does their fine print contain? The requirement to document with still pictures or video of their product applied as per the inspection requirements. But hold on-you have to perform inspections on a mandatory schedule, and you must send in the pictures of the inspections within 20 days. AND THIS IS IN THEIR FINE PRINT!

This is a total weasel clause and as a result, their warranty requirements puts this company on my personal list of "DO NOT BUY FROM" companies.

There is also the companies recommendation that you enter into a maintenance agreement with your installer...a steady source of residual income for him if they work it right. Reading through the maintenance instructions, there's so many don't do this and don't do that's where I wonder if I should even be walking on it at all...

C'mon Polycoat, you can do better that this...
