This was a great product and saved me a lot of

Work done. Wall repaired. Thank you. Great product.

Great Solution to Poured Footers

I've been installing this in several homes over the past few years. They are a great solution to high labor cost installing concrete footers.
A secured plate to existing concrete that accommodates existing steel pole plates is a great idea too.
I recommend trying these for any structural supports that are failing or decayed bottoms

EZ Brace - Matte Black
Dissatisfied never again customer.
Confusing

The website is a bit confusing sighting sold in "pairs", that led me to believe I was ordering enough for 2 braces. What I received was hardware for 1 brace. I asked for the powder coated black, but the hardware is not black, so I paid extra for half black coating. Also, the EZ Brace was just over $80, and the shocker is after you place the order, the shipping comes back as $80. I feel ripped off for 160 bucks!

Joist Repair Kit - 30" Strap

Good solution

Comes with driver bit and drill bits. Time will tell how it holds up. In my case i filled the notches with wood. Not sure if the calcs account for the type of layered /glued sheet construction of my beams, but theres a lot of screws to hold tension.

Self install helical system

Overall pretty satisfied with the product. One of the posts 12 mm drive heads snapped off, but I was able to finish driving it with tightening the secondary bolts to one another and using a 7/8 socket

Great product

This product was just what I was looking for to address large notches that were cut out of joists to accommodate large can lights in my basement. I'm glad I was able to speak to Rich himself about my situation and he gave me confidence that these would restore strength back into my notched I joists. Nolan shipped out my order very quickly and the straps were very easy to install.

Joist Reinforcement for 4 inch hole.

The joist reinforcement worked great and was easy to install. I used them to reinforce floor joists with a 4 inch hole for a toliet drain.

Exactly what I needed.

While looking for products to strengthen some joists, I found exactly what I needed with the joist repair strap kit. This is a very simple yet effective product. I was extremely impressed with the quality and attention to detail with the Nolan kit. I also found the product demonstration videos extremely helpful in selecting a product.

Works great and feels very solid

Delivery was quick and everything looked solid and well made.
Installation was straight forward.
I am very happy with the peace of mind to have repaired the joists with a professional and permanent solution.

The ideal product for my joist repair

I had a joist in by basement that had a 5” hole drilled out for plumbing and was also cut all the way through above the hole. I contacted Nolan Structural Products and based on images of the joist they were able to recommend that I use two of the Joist Repair Kit - 24” Straps. The kits come with everything you need to install them except for a drill. Installation was easy and I was impressed with how the product eliminated all of the deflection that was happening in the floor above. The issue with the joist is right under a stair landing so you could feel the sag and hear an annoying squeak every time you used the stairs. That’s all gone now. These are great products and the staff is very helpful!

Strongest tie

My guys notched the heck out of a joist and this gave us the structural support needed to pass inspection.
Excellent solution, response and service.

Great! Passed inspection.

Dryer vent repair

Repair kit worked quite well, quality materials were obvious and the kit made the repair quicker and professionally addressed as it was advertised it would

Excellent product, over priced

Great product, great service

Had an HVAC guy drill too close to the top of my joists under a kitchen island. Purchased 3 of these, even though I only had 1.5” of wood above the hole, these worked great.

It was easy to install the wall strap took me about 5 minutes each one. Must have a good hammer drill and impact gun will make it go smoother. So far I’m happy with the product

Basement wall straps

Order came quickly. Install was fast & easy. Had to use them for a bowed wall in a house I was selling. Structural engineer signed off on it. The straps worked like a charm. Took about 4 hours total including set up & clean up to install 10 straps solo. The included mason bits ate up the block too. I had a big Bosch hammer drill but never needed it as my 20v dewalt drill worked perfectly. Had the impact gun for the bolts and the job was fairly easy. Much easier & cheaper than carbon fiber or block pins. I highly recommend these straps. Everything you need comes with it.

No black powder coat

I received the two pairs of braces today and was a little disappointed they didn’t have the black color. Just plain galvanized steel, even though the website and youtube videos show the product as black. The gauge or thickness of the metal U-shaped bracket is about the same as any joist hanger. I was hoping for a thicker gauge. I will give them a try, but will apparently have to paint them myself.

Hi T.D.,

The EZ Brace is availalbe in Matte Black, but you had selected and purchased the Galvanized option. Please let us know if you would like to exchange for the black ones.

Best,

Cost effective alternative!

Quoted an arm and a leg for same feature functionality by another company. I am pleased with the product and related costs. Friendly staff/ fast shipping!

Joist Repair Kit

Loved it !
Worked exactly as planned !
Thank you !

As advertised

The Insta-footing 16x16 plates seem solid and do have hardware for posts. I think the paint job was kind of thin on my product and a second coat is needed but still in good condition even considering the shipping scratches and thin paint brush strokes..
