    Replace floor joists - costs & estimates

    How much would it cost to replace the floor joists and floor boards in a 12 foot by 14 foot room. The room has a chimney in it and is on the ground floor. The current floor is bowed quite a bit, any other suggestion for fixes other than replacing the floor would be good to know.
