Is a wood or steel beam better in a home?

• <div><p>A steel beam is stronger than a wood beam and requires fewer vertical supports underneath, which means it’s a better option for larger structures or if you want an open space under your home that doesn’t have posts as obstructions. However, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-steel-i-beam-cost.htm">steel I-beams cost</a> more than wood ones, and they can be difficult to install retroactively, as getting them into the basement area can be challenging, if not impossible.</p></div>

Q: Can I request a custom metal design?

• <div><p>Yes, professional fabricators can create custom pieces, including railings, sculptures, signage, and architectural elements.</p></div>

Q: Why choose bespoke metal fabrication for your project?

• <div><p>Custom metalwork offers durability, design flexibility, and unique aesthetics tailored to specific needs.</p></div>

Q: Why should I pick steel I-beams?

• <div><p>Steel I-beams are an increasingly popular choice for supporting a structure because they support a large amount of weight with a small profile and without the need for load-bearing walls or supports underneath. This allows for more open floor plans, which most people tend to prefer. They also resist fire, pests, and rot and last for the lifetime of your home.</p></div>

Q: Are beams and joists the same?

• <div><p>No, beams are the primary load-bearers for flooring or roofing systems, and they distribute the weight of the structure to your foundational supports, while joists bear far less weight and distribute their loads to the beams. Beams are usually thicker and longer, and they have support posts or foundation walls beneath them for support.</p></div>

I had a very pleasant auto repair experience with these guys. The muffler was literally falling off of my car. I looked on Angie's List and found the listing for Joe's Muffler. I pulled up to the garage and the mechanic waved me in. He gave me a really reasonable price which I accepted. He...

The old downspout, that burst in heavy storms last winter, was custom made of welded metal. It had a welded, angular jog to get around a plumbing access opening in the wall. The new ABS downspout has a pre-fab rounded elbow at the top and a straight pipe to the ground. The cost of a new...
