Thank you for your interest in Fence Bros! Here at Fence Bros we take pride in our work. Our team works hard to satisfy every customer with a beautiful fence. We specialize in every type of fencing residential and commercial. We guarantee our work. We offer free quotes at anytime!
"Everything was fine in the beginning with Logan. He provided us quotes for deck replacement (boards and railings) for $16,000+ and vinyl private fencing for $11,000. We found someone who offered a better warranty on the composite decking for a cheaper price, so we went elsewhere for this thankfully. Our yard was already partially enclosed due to our neighbors having fencing, so we only needed roughly 208 ft of fencing to finish off enclosing the yard. There were a few red flags with Logan that should have been obvious signs to go with another contractor. After our initial quote for both deck and fence, he returned 30 days later to do measurements AGAIN on the deck and showed up alone this time instead of with his buddy. He claimed he "couldn't get ahold of his partner anymore" and had to find someone else. We were quoted a 2 day turnaround time for the fence. When installing the fence, he ran into issues we addressed many times in our consultations which were slopes/hills in our yard. We have dogs so our primary reason for wanting the fence was to keep them enclosed. The first problem area he ran into he contacted us about. We approved the gap between the ground and bottom of the fence in this spot due to the nature of the uneven ground. Our expectation moving forward with the rest of the fence per our conversations was that the rest of the fence was to be installed close to the ground and flush on top and flush with the ground. He agreed many, many times this would be the outcome. We came home to 3 more additional panels that he never consulted us about that had over a 9 inch gap from the ground to the bottom of the fence. These were already concreted in. His recommendation was to place flowers in this gap as if that would prevent my dog from crawling underneath if they desired. It was clear it was just laziness, because if they dug deep enough the fence could have been placed lower to the ground with a few minor adjustments to the actual panels and it would have been fine. After seeing the additional gaps left that we did not approve, we asked him to redo those specific panels to our expectations. He refused. They started work on Thursday (not really because they 'forgot all of their needed tools') and the fence installation didn't begin until Friday. By 6pm Friday they completed majority of the fencing, but had to return Monday because he didn't calculate the material correctly so they were short. So much for a 2 day turn around time. This was even more infuriating after finding this out along with seeing the additional gaps that were left. To save time out of our own busy lives, we decided to not take him to court (although we should have) and had him finish the rest of the fence on Tuesday and paid him off because at this point we just wanted it done. As a business owner myself, the customer service was AWFUL. The communication got worse as the days went on and again, many many red flags. If I could go back and choose someone else to complete this work, I would 100% rightfully so. We had to spend more $$ out of pocket to fix the gaps after paying 11 grand. 10000% DO NOT recommend Logan and whatever buddy he chooses is available at that time to complete work with. Very inexperienced business owner and hope others can avoid this mistake as well."

You should replace floor joists as soon as you see clear signs of structural trouble—sagging floors, wide wall cracks, uneven door frames, wet or rotting wood, persistent squeaks, or windows that no longer latch. Tilted or sinking supports in the crawl space are another red flag. If you notice any of these signs, call a pro right away to keep your home’s structure safe.
If the joists are exposed from below, a pro can swap them out without touching the finished floor above. In an unfinished basement or crawl space, you’ll often see the joists and can easily reach them. When insulation, subflooring, or finished flooring blocks access, the crew must remove these materials before repairs can begin.
Sistering allows a pro to reinforce a cracked or undersized joist without tearing up the entire floor. The contractor slowly raises the frame, then fastens a new joist snugly against the damaged one to share the load. When done correctly, sistering restores full structural strength and keeps the floor level without the cost of a complete replacement.
Floor joists installed correctly in a stable environment can last for 100 years or more, often outlasting the house itself. However, termite damage, moisture, leaks, and other problems can significantly reduce a floor's lifespan. For instance, if the floor is exposed to consistent moisture, you'll likely need to replace the joists every 20 to 30 years.
Homeowners' insurance covers floor joist damage resulting from sudden and accidental events, such as fire, windstorm, or water damage from a burst pipe. It will not cover repairs resulting from gradual deterioration, poor maintenance, or termite infestations. Review your insurance policy and consult your provider to verify the conditions that guarantee full coverage. Doing so ensures you are fully aware of your responsibilities and can plan your repair work with complete confidence.
Floor joists are essential structural components that provide a stable foundation for your home. They directly transfer the weight of floors, furniture, and occupants to the foundation, ensuring stability and a safe living environment. Without these robust beams, the structure would face compromised load distribution, leading to potential safety hazards and costly repairs. Proper installation and maintenance are crucial for long-term durability and safety.
