"Where do I begin? Windows leaked from improper installation. Delay after delay with promises to show up broken again & again. Paid him for the job and he never finished it. Had to hire someone else to complete my house. Walking up on his help urinating by the shed when there are facilities was unsightly but watching the owner show up to work in flip flops and shorts was the kicker. He only had 2 hours of work left to do and after a month he still didn?t show up to do it. Zero stars. Stay far far away. I wish he?d come get his ladder that he left, business must be slow. His defensive and argumentative attitude (after he gets paid) is probably due to the fact that he knows he did us wrong. She knows it too, it?s theft when you get paid and don?t follow through."

Welding questions, answered by experts

The difference between a lintel and a beam is what loads each is responsible for supporting. A lintel is a type of beam that is responsible only for supporting the load above an opening, such as a window or door, and transfers the weight to the side walls around an opening. A beam supports the slab and transfers the load to nearby columns, which then disperse the load to the ground.

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’s workshop.

Once you’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.

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.

Most projects take 1-4 weeks, depending on material sourcing, design intricacy, and required finishing treatments like powder coating or galvanization.

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.
