If it is not rotten. You canreplace individual boards. To clean, use JoeMax and pressure sprayer. Will look great. Then use a deck sealer or deck paint. A more expensive sealer or paint will last longer. -

We applied armorpoxy to a deck that was way older than 20 years and in bad shape. It's almost like a concrete surface after applied. That was three years ago, this year I applied rustoleum in brown and it looks great. The armorpoxy saved the deck, no doubt, just touching up this year and rustoleum seems to be a very durable product.
