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’d pay for a steel I-beam. Not only is the wood material more affordable than steel, but it’s also more similar to traditional wooden beams and doesn’t require as much retrofitting to connect joists. </p></div>

Q: What factors affect fabrication costs?

• <div><p>Costs depend on material type, labor, design complexity, finishing requirements, and installation needs.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to create a custom metal structure or object?

• <div><p>Costs vary widely, from $500 for small pieces to over $10,000 for large or intricate designs, depending on metal type, fabrication complexity, and labor.</p></div>

Q: What’s the fastest way to remove rust from metal?

• <div><p>The fastest and easiest way to remove small rust spots from metal is to combine lemon juice and baking soda or borax. You can mix them to make a thick paste, apply the paste to your rusted areas, let it sit for a half hour, and then gently scrub the spots with a bristle brush or old toothbrush. Finally, wipe the area clean with a lightly damp rag.</p></div>

Q: What is corrugated metal?

• <div><p>Corrugated metal has been pressed so that it has alternating ridges or grooves. Metal that has undergone this process becomes incredibly strong, with some of the highest strength-to-weight ratios of any material. It's lightweight and has an increased surface area when compared to a flat sheet of metal. Both of these attributes contribute to its coveted strength. It's used for fencing because it's weather- and impact-resistant, rarely needs maintenance, and lasts many years&mdash;for a relatively low cost. </p></div>

Dana and his team were amazing. They had my problem resolved within 24 hours. They really went above and beyond and not only fixed my chimney flashing but addressed other issues with my roof that were the result of a poor metal roof installation. Thank you!!

It was a small job and it was obvious that I was not a priority. The floor looked okay but not great for the price paid. The quarter round looks terrible around the moulding, and the metal transition strip was installed very poorly. I would recommend looking at other flooring companies.

"Dylan did fine work. He welded new solid metal bars to replace old rusted bars on our metal patio furniture. He customized the bars, treated the repaired areas with rust-oleum, and recommended the type of finish paint to use on the metal furniture. He communicated well by phone, text and email as we live away from the job site. We were very satisfied with Dylan's work."
