⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ James Carter - Home Renovation Contractor
"Used the TJI Base Model joists for a two-story home remodel in Portland. The 12mm thickness and double-sided pine veneer made installation a breeze—no warping, no splitting. Cut perfectly with standard saws and fastened cleanly. Most impressive? The sanded surface meant we didn’t need to finish the exposed ceiling joists. Clients love the natural wood look. Plus, passing indoor air quality inspections was no issue thanks to the E0 adhesive."Purchase Date: February 2025 | Usage Period: 5 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lisa Nguyen - Project Manager, GreenBuild Contractors
"We specified the TJI Advanced Model for a boutique office build in Austin. Needed something with Class B fire rating and better aesthetics than OSB. These delivered. The enhanced fire resistance gave the inspector confidence, and the premium pine veneer (0.8mm) looked high-end without added costs for cladding. Lighter than solid beams, so our crew handled them easily. Will definitely use again for mixed-use builds."Purchase Date: June 2024 | Usage Period: 8 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ David Park - Homeowner & DIY Builder
"Built a loft bedroom in my garage using the Base Model TJI joists. Was nervous about structural integrity, but after consulting with an engineer, he confirmed they were more than sufficient. The uniform 12mm thickness made measuring and cutting foolproof. I love that both sides look finished—no hiding ugly backing. Only reason not 5 stars? Took a few extra days to source locally. Otherwise, a solid, eco-conscious choice."Purchase Date: November 2024 | Usage Period: 6 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Maria Gonzalez - Structural Engineer, Apex Industrial
"For a warehouse retrofit in Chicago, we needed custom-length joists (10m) with high load capacity and fire safety. The Pro Model exceeded expectations. Class A fire rating met municipal codes, and the 30% higher load capacity allowed for wider spans. The OSB core integration provided consistent strength without the weight of solid timber. Customization was seamless—worked directly with their team to finalize specs. This is the future of engineered wood."Purchase Date: April 2025 | Usage Period: 2 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thomas Reed - LEED-Certified Architect
"Specified TJI’s Advanced Model with E0+ adhesive and 80% recycled content for a net-zero home in Colorado. Client wanted both sustainability and visible wood grain in the open-concept design. These joists checked every box: FSC-certified pine, low emissions, and dual-purpose use for structure and décor. Achieved LEED points for material selection and indoor air quality. A rare product that balances performance, beauty, and responsibility."Purchase Date: January 2025 | Usage Period: 7 months

Dr. Alan Foster - PE, Structural Engineering Consultant
"After analyzing over 20 engineered wood systems, I recommend TJI Wood Joists for their optimized strength-to-weight ratio and consistent dimensional stability. The 12mm Base Model outperforms 9mm standard joists by 25% in load testing, and the Pro Model’s Class A fire rating makes it viable for multi-story commercial builds. A technically sound choice for modern construction."
Rebecca Liu - LEED AP, Sustainable Materials Advisor
"TJI’s use of E0 adhesive, FSC-certified pine, and recyclable core materials sets a new benchmark in eco-conscious structural products. It’s rare to find a joist that meets CARB Phase 2, EN 300, and USDA sustainability criteria while still delivering aesthetic value. For architects aiming for LEED or WELL certification, this is a top-tier selection."
