Acheson Auto Works was founded in 1947 by Sam Acheson, Sr. Still owned by the same family, Sam Acheson, Jr. continues to operate this business utilizing his father's old-fashioned business principles: Be honest, make sure charges are fair, complete work quickly and handle all problems promptly and politely.

"I am from out of town and needed to drive back home right after Thanksgiving. My car started having issues. Not being from the area, I did a google search for a Land Rover mechanic (the Local Land Rover dealership was 2 weeks out even though I told them I was from out of town and needed to get home) and found Acheson Auto Works. I am so glad I did... I contacted Acheson auto Works Wednesday the day before Thanksgiving and they got me in the same day and diagnosed my vehicle and got me on my way. Thank you so much for the great service! Would definitely use them again or would highly recommend."

Welding questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Costs depend on metal type, fabrication complexity, labor, finishing, and shipping or installation requirements.

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:

  • Fire-resistant

  • Unaffected by pests

  • Longer-lasting

  • Stronger against water damage (when galvanized against rust)

Some welding projects, such as repairing pipes or fences, require travel, whereas others, like furniture repair, do not necessarily require the welder to come to you. Travel and overhead factor into the overall cost of your welding project. Some of the most common welding projects include:

  • Metal furniture repair: $35–$100

  • Pipe repair: $200–$1,000

  • Small gates: $550–$750

  • Fencing: $1,200–$1,800

  • Fabricated sheet metal welding: $750–$2,500
