Material Options

Material prices below are national averages; availability in Miami may shift costs slightly.

Material	Cost/Unit	Pros	Cons	Best For
Sistering Damaged Joists	$200-$600 per joist	Less invasive than full replacement, maintains floor elevation, no need to remove subfloor above	Only works when the original member is still partially intact for nailing surface	Floor joists with localized damage that retain at least 50% of their structural sectionLess invasive than full replacement, maintains floor elevation, no need to remove subfloor above
Full Joist or Stud Replacement	$400-$900 per member	Complete structural restoration, like-new performance, required for severely damaged members	Requires temporary shoring for load-bearing members, more invasive and time-consuming	Members with severe damage, collapse risk, or widespread decay beyond sisteringComplete structural restoration, like-new performance, required for severely damaged members
Sill Plate Replacement	$200-$500 per linear ft	Restores the critical connection between framing and foundation, uses pressure-treated lumber resistant to future infestation	Requires temporary shoring of the entire wall above, time-consuming, often combined with foundation work	Sill plate damage - the highest-priority structural repair for termite-damaged homesRestores the critical connection between framing and foundation, uses pressure-treated lumber resistant to future infestation
Epoxy Wood Consolidant and Filler	$30-$100 per application	Non-invasive, fills voids in partially damaged wood, can restore structural integrity of minor damage, paintable	Only appropriate for minor surface damage, not a replacement for severely compromised structural members	Window sills, door frames, exterior trim with minor to moderate damage where replacement is impracticalNon-invasive, fills voids in partially damaged wood, can restore structural integrity of minor damage, paintable
Pressure-Treated Lumber Replacement	$300-$800 per member	Chemically treated to resist future termite damage, required in many jurisdictions for ground-contact applications	Slightly more expensive than standard dimensional lumber, some types cannot be used in interior applications	Sill plates, rim joists, and any framing within 6 inches of soil or concreteChemically treated to resist future termite damage, required in many jurisdictions for ground-contact applications
