Only replace the boards that definitely need replacing. Avoid redoing the whole deck. Treated deck boards now are no where near as good as treated deck boards for the 90's.

I replaced my entire deck about 5 years ago and I regret it. Boards are rotting left and right. I'm tired of replacing bad boards.

Yep. Treated wood in general is not up to the quality of stuff from the 90's.

I live in a 2 story house with porches front and back. I replaced my stairs off the back porch 4 years ago and can see where one of my stringers is showing signs of rot in 3-4 places and that pisses me off since I have to basically tear the stairs apart and start all over again with new stringers.

I'm seriously thinking about going with welded metal stairs this time around.
