First year I had to do that too. The primer makes all the difference. 2nd year, both decks look great except for two small spots. I guess when we are working with rough old wood you can only achieve so much. I'm happy with the two that I primered...for now! 🇺🇸
We just worked on an older deck and we pressure washed it and then flipped any of the boards that were in horrible shape (we had a burn spot from someone placing a portable grill on the deck) once the boards were flipped we restained and sealed. Looks great!
Agreed with the above of flipping boards over. I have seen this done and it seems to be a good fix!
The original homeowner put down the biggest deck boards I've ever seen and used nails to put them down. He used so many nails, it's unbelievable! Flipping these boards would have been a lovely and near perfect fix.
I would rent a floor sander from Lowes or Home Depot and sand down the boards.
If you cant flip the boards, sand them down, a big sander would do the best...more area covered.
