"New Leaf installed a range hood in my kitchen today. From initial consultation to completion of the job I was always met with great customer service and quick response. They answered all my questions and were thorough with the quote process. Expectations were very clear each step of the way. The contractors were great. Had a small hiccup with installation and they were able to quickly problem solve to get the job done. They also vented the exhaust through an exterior wall and thankfully our existing cabinetry was able to be reinstalled for a seamless look. I would absolutely hire New Leaf again for the many projects I have in the pipeline."

"If you are looking for a contractor who is very experienced, does consistently high quality and exacting work, and who is reasonable, pleasant and easy to work with, then Drew Johns is your man. We have hired Drew to do a variety of jobs, large and small, inside and outside, over a period of almost ten years, and he does not disappoint. He has done plumbing and electrical work, painting, patio-screen and wooden frame replacement, deck-staining, installation of fixtures, fans and outdoor railings, construction of a very large closet, and various types of repair work around our home, e.g. plaster, house wooden trim, doors, chairs, tables, etc. We appreciate not only his skill level and breadth of knowledge, but that he is professional, respectful, prompt, a really good communicator and honest, i.e. has qualities and character that are not easy to find these days, but are very important to us. Perhaps above all, we fussy folks are always very pleased with the end result of his work and his thorough clean-up after each work session leading to completion of the larger project. Soon, he will begin a basement remodeling project for us, involving new ceiling and flooring, trim work, wooden beam creation and brick and electrical work. We hire him time and time again because we trust him completely. He does things correctly and does not corners but offers options. Drew is our go-to guy. We rely on him and are so grateful to have found him. In all sincerity, we highly recommend him without any hesitation or reservation whatsoever to anyone looking for excellent workmanship and a great working relationship."

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.
