This joist repair is, in my opinion, the best on the market. Great structural properties and the largest allowable hole size I could find. Excellent for running plumbing drainage and supply.
I appreciate that they include a drill bit and a Torx impact bit. However, the impact bit is on the low end of quality and I had to get another to finish my install as the one supplied snapped. I would have liked more bits to be included.
Shipping is next day for when you need it, but expensive for when you're able to wait for the product. I ordered twice, so a slower but cheaper shipping option would be appreciated.
This was a great product and saved me a lot of time and money. I couldn’t even imagine trying to fix this joist by sister another joist.
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
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!
