I am willing to go after anyone who can be made responsible. Home Depot suggested this product and sold it and gladly took my money but want nothing to do with the problem. I agree that Correct Deck should stand behind what they make but I just want to warn people not to make major purchases at Home Depot and expect them to stand behind what they have sold. Make your major purchases at a company that cares about their customers. Don't make my mistake!!!!!

Even if nothing saves me concerning this product problem I just hope that others will see what is going on and not buy from Correct Deck of Home Depot. I wish someone would have warned me.
i understand why you are mad at home depot. its frustrating. did you read may i suggest do you think this will work not just names but more info or are we going after a lost cause
i think if we get enough names posted we can first report this to the better bus. bur. iwish we could star a civil suit but i dont know how to do it with every one being from so many different places i just think this stinks that this could happen to so many people and we really cant do a thing. does anyone have any ideas? is there a lawyer in the house or does anyone know if there is a suit against them already?
We put a very large deck on our house during 2004-2005. Sadly, we chose CorrectDeck as well. And, yes, ours is covered in the black spots as well. We are definitely interested in being a part of this class action suit.
Our house is in Maine, less than 2 hours from the HQ of Correctdeck. In August of 2006 my carpenter husband installed a huge,multi-layer deck with Correctdeck, railings, stairs, decking, the works. We ended up with the last of the unimproved material on the market. As we were finishing, we found out that the "improved" version had come out with mold resistance. I didn't miss the RED FLAG!
We kept the snow shoveled off it during the winter of 2006 and it was still lovely in March 2007. Then the first mold showed up in May 2007, less than 9 months after installation. Mold/mildew spots were visible by May. They increased in June and July. In the past 10 days between July 17 and 27, the spots have begun to increase exponentially.
The deck is on the west side, so 85% of it gets full sun after 11:00 AM. How could a product manufactured in Maine, sold in Maine, not last even a year under typical Maine conditions? Did the manufacturer bother to test it before selling it? Obviously they knew by 2004 that it had serious problems. They were negligent in continuing to market this material as long-lasting, low-maintenance.
I came to the internet to see what Correctdeck recommended to correct the problem. Surely, they have had time to work on a real solution. I can see from the inter-net chatter that you've all been down that road.
I feel your pain, and I'm ready to participate in a class action suit. I you need someone from the state where these bozos operate, let me know.

Question for you all:
Does anyone have an original of the warranty that came with your Correctdeck materials. Mine were purchased in Sept 05, but I didn't see a written warranty with it; just the warranty postcard. If you have one from 2005, I'd like to get a copy.
