"Highly Recommend Optimiz3 – They Truly Optimize Your Ideas! After getting quotes from several teams for my fence project, I ultimately chose Optimiz3 – and I’m so glad I did. Jordan was incredibly easy to communicate with, and his professionalism stood out from other company. He not only took the time to understand my specific project needs, but he also helped me think through the bigger picture, offering valuable advice for future improvements. The team’s professionalism was evident throughout the entire 50-foot fence project. They arrived with top-notch tools and even took the time to help clean up my yard before starting, which was a thoughtful touch given how messy it was. They worked diligently, double-checked their work. All of my questions and concerns were addressed promptly and thoroughly. If you're looking for a company that goes the extra mile to ensure high-quality results, choose Optimiz3. They’ll optimize your project and exceed your expectations!"

I am a 6 year welder. I offer mobile welding and fabrication services. I regularly do gates and railings, trailer repair, and custom fabrication projects. I am very proud of the work I do. I am also a Marine Corps veteran

"QUALITY WORK. Kai and Team were on time, and stayed ahead of planned schedule. Most post holes get two bags concrete..on the important corner post he dug it very deep and put three. Always used levels and stringers. Never guessed. Measured again and again. Also had a custom gate built to on-site specifications. Really great work. Plus Kai and Team are adaptable and capable. Fencing, tree cutting, metal work, gates, and more. FIVE STARS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

Welding questions, answered by experts

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, steel I-beams cost 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.

Yes, professional fabricators can create custom pieces, including railings, sculptures, signage, and architectural elements.

Professional metal fabricators usually charge around $70 per hour. Three of the largest cost factors are the size and complexity of the project and the price of materials. The type of metal can impact the cost as much as the intricacy of the metal fabrication you want done. Another cost factor is your geographic location, as labor and materials can vary widely depending on the cost of living where you live.

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.

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.
