Reply to comment by Wellcraft19 in Do I need to replace my deck joists? by RobotKevinSpacey

Realized my contractor installed my new TimberTech deck without joist tape, drives me bonkers. I'm currently debating whether I take the decking up to install or just roll with it.

Install now, and you might never have to deal with it. Leave be, and at some time you will have to replace the structure, while the ‘deck’ still looks great. Yet, that’s likely 20+ years out assuming all other boxes were checked.
