Q: Why should I pick steel for my new support beam?

• <div><p>You should pick steel for your new support beam for a few reasons. While steel is more expensive than other materials, such as laminated veneer lumber or glulam, it offers the following benefits:</p><ul><li><p>Fire-resistant</p></li><li><p>Unaffected by pests</p></li><li><p>Longer-lasting</p></li><li><p>Stronger against water damage (when galvanized against rust)</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: How do I choose a metal fabricator?

• <div><p>Choosing the right metal fabricator for your project begins with research. Find a reputable fabrication company by searching for reputable contractors in your area, and then reviewing photos of their previous work, customer reviews, and photos of the company&rsquo;s workshop.</p><p>Once you&rsquo;ve narrowed down the list, contact the companies to ask about the types of metal fabrication projects they specialize and inquire about guarantees and warranties on workmanship. You should also ensure the company uses high-quality material, and ask about the schedule and turnaround time for your proposed project.</p></div>

Q: Is LVL more affordable than steel I-beams?

• <div><p>Yes, an LVL beam is more affordable than the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-steel-i-beam-cost.htm">cost of a steel I-beam</a>, totaling between $50 and $200 per linear foot as opposed to the $100 to $400 per linear foot you&rsquo;d pay for a steel I-beam. Not only is the wood material more affordable than steel, but it&rsquo;s also more similar to traditional wooden beams and doesn&rsquo;t require as much retrofitting to connect joists. </p></div>

Q: Do I need an LVL beam?

• <div><p>Beams made out of traditional lumber can often only span 8 to 12 feet without requiring vertical supports, so if you want a wider opening to create a more open floor plan, you might need an LVL beam. LVL beams can span up to around 30 feet without the need for load-bearing walls or vertical supports underneath, making them a better option for keeping your home as open and airy as possible. </p></div>

Q: 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&rsquo;s a better option for larger structures or if you want an open space under your home that doesn&rsquo;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>

I needed a gate re-hung and welded at my rental property. I found Zeus Ironworks on Angis List so I gave them a call. Luis answered and was very nice on the phone. We scheduled an appointment for 10:30 am yesterday to get an estimate and to possibly repair the gate as needed. After waiting a...

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...

"I highly recommend Weld LA! I needed a wrought iron gate fabricated and installed for a dog run. They came out and gave me an estimate the same day that I contacted them. Their quote was very fair, they were professional, and had good communication throughout the process. The quality of their work and the finished project was exactly what I wanted! They were very easy to work with and I had a finished project within 5 days! I will definitely use them again!"
