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,

Looks like it will solve my joist problem. There are many drivers to support the strap. I am now able to finish my basement with no worries.
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!
