Alger Electric has been family owned and operated since 1946, when it was founded by the late William H. Alger. In the early years, the company only provided residential services, but by 1954, when Emmett H. Brooks (Williams' nephew) joined the company, Alger Electric began to venture into the commercial wiring of service stations and phasing out from residential work. In 1971, Robert H. Brooks Sr., Emmett's son (Williams' great nephew) joined the company and broadened their expertise into the wiring of restaurants, office buildings, and warehouses. William built a strong foundation for Alger to thrive on and, in the summer of 1976, he passed away suddenly. Emmett took the reigns with Robert by his side and continued to operate the company as William wished - diversifying the company in many ways. In 1993, Robert H. Brooks Jr., Robert's son (Williams' great great nephew) began working full time brininging to the company a desire to establish a sign and lighting division which he headed until his tragic death in 2002. This dealt the company a strong blow and, in 2007, Kristen B. Brooks, Robert's daughter (Williams' great great neice) came back to the company to strengthen its core. The next step was to come into the 21st century with LED signs and lighting. This was mastered and soon a new chapter began. In 2010, Emmett H. Brooks retired and happily passed the reigns to his son Robert H. Brooks as William would have wished. The rest is....or should we say...the best is yet to come!

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.

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)

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

Lally columns are named after their founder, John Lally, who owned a construction company in the 1800s. He invented the columns as a means of providing temporary support for beams and rafters in homes his company was renovating. The original Lally columns were also made of steel, although the inventory used a thicker gauge metal, which provided additional support for larger projects and long-term structural solutions.

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.
