Is a wood or steel beam better in a home?

• <div><p>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, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-steel-i-beam-cost.htm">steel I-beams cost</a> 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.</p></div>

Stewart was friendly, professional and a talented welder. He came when he said he would, worked and cleaned up efficiently, and it cost what he said it would. Our new exterior handrails are unique but completely compatible with the house. Wish we needed more work done!
