Whatever you do don't have the work performed by the fool who built the deck at the same elevation as the house floor. (must be a real joy when you get a foot or two of snow)

I would also suggest a dedicated capital fund to replace the rim joist and associated components in another 5-7 years.

Cheers,
Jim
