My redwood deck sustained a lot of hits from the last hailstorm.

As a result my insurance company sent me a check that may pay for a partial re-decking.

Any thoughts on replacing the redwood with composite?

I realize that I will have to throw in a good chunk of change to replace all of the decking due to the price difference between the two.

Additionally, it seems like redwood is falling out of favor due to the lack of a higher quality product.

The deck is approximately 22 years old and is in great shape disregardful the hail impacts. And yes, I have thought about removal/planing and re-installation or flipping the boards over.
