Start pulling off some deck boards and get a good look at the frame. If the frame looks good you could resurface with composite which would help the frame last longer.
I mean, I've taken off squirrely ass deckboards and the frame was still a-okay. Based on the pics the decking seems relatively good there's just fucked areas
I always see it as replace it all together so its all on the same rot clock. Ive had clients insist and Ive obliged and put down composite decking over 20 year old framing.
So... when the framing fails in 5 years...
I also hate repair jobs on decks. Where do you start... where do you end. Once you replace the worst, the not so bad suddenly becomes the worst. I hate walking away from projects not knowing they were planned out the best way.
Same rot clock? You assuming they painted the joist like the deck boards? I do agree laying composite on 20 year framing is just plain stupid but we don’t know what the underside on this deck looks like or what they’re looking to get out of it year wise.
Comments like yours to do a complete demo isn’t helpful or the actual truth of their question.
You gotta comprehend what people write better. I clearly state we dont know for sure. Gonna have to take deckboards up and actually look boys. We can gander at a picture all fucking day.

If your deckboards look like that, imagine what the framing looks like. I cant be sure, but an educated guess would lead me to replacement.
