[quote=Anonymous]Sistering can mean an entire joist span or just a section - which is your case? I am doing this now as part of a renovation. Cost of materials is $50/joist - wood, lag bolts, screws, nails, construction glue. Labor is free (me) Space is accessible but tight. I would expect to pay 400/joist if I had to pay a contractor. More if it’s not easily accessible or requires additional support, say because it can’t rest on the rim of the exterior wall or the interior support beam. Being in a row house and not knowing the dimensions or access points - can they get a single joist from the street to inside house work location without issue? I have sistered entire joist and sections of joists that were rotten. [/quote]
