Hello Bonita! You don't mention the size of your deck, whether it's off the ground or if it has railings, and stairs. My 12x 28 deck was more than 30 years old but we were able to take off the railings, and all the floor boards and we replaced the floor boards. We didn't have to do anything with the joists, etc as they were in good shape. We did not replace the railings as our deck is only about 18 inches off the ground and it made it easier to shovel the snow off in the winter. We also constructed new steps. We had all the proper tools and a good helper! It was a week long project and some hard work.
Hi Bonita!
You can replace any boards that may be damaged, but I will send you some videos for you to take a look at and decide what you need to do. I wish you the best on this project.

Unless you're very handy with construction, hire someone to do it for you. Get several estimates because prices vary immensely. If you're on NextDoor.com, you can get recommendations from neighbors.
Sometimes it is a matter of replacing a few boards and sometimes it needs a total rebuild.
