Hi all, does anyone have an idea of what to expect on customer cost for a typical bar joist strengthening - 3/4 moment rod stitched on inside of existing joist angles with 2" angle chasing the web? I am seeing LF pricing and the number seems astronomical on labor $75-100/LF). I'd love to know if we need to be thinking outside the box on this subject. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
