Alger Electric

79 years of experience

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.

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.

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.

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

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