    Came across a lot of sagging floor videos but this is the only crowned joist video I found. Thank you so much. I know I can fix what's wrong now.

    Super helpful. I'm going to replace a carpet with hard floors, so getting rid of a crown is a must-do. I have a basement, so your video gave me everything I need to tackle the job. Thanks

    On the very last method with the bolt tightening to pull down the crown, would you leave them there permanently? Also would you nail or screw the old beam and the new beam together all along the length?

      If you needed them, but I don't think you would most of the time after attaching new joist to existing joist.

    Why not just cut it out and replace it?

      No need. That is a lot of work for no reason.

      I removed the somewhat negative comments before things got ridiculous. I don't like them on my channel if I can help it. You bring up a good point and in the video I was trying to answer two questions for different viewers and maybe I shouldn't have. The first was about damaging the floor sheathing lateral strength by cutting it and the second was to provide someone else with a method for fixing crowned joist without removing their carpet flooring and having access to nailing existing sheathing to new joist.

      @@gregvancom that’s why I asked because I saw no footage of any reason the entire beam couldn’t be replaced easily. I would simply go under the house or the floor with a saws all and chop it up avoiding puncturing the floor and replace it with a fresh beam. It wasn’t your fault. This is a discussion, some people just feel the need to be smart Alec and that sets me off. Sorry if I was over zealous.
