Q: What’s the difference between a lintel and a beam?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Does steel framing increase home value?

• <div><p>Using a steel frame may raise the value of your home. Steel is more heat resistant, has better longevity, and doesn&rsquo;t need any upkeep compared to traditional wood. You can also customize a steel build a little easier than other materials like brick, concrete, and vinyl&mdash;which have trouble bending and adapting to renovations.</p></div>

Q: How long does metal fabrication take?

• <div><p>Most projects take 1-4 weeks, depending on material sourcing, design intricacy, and required finishing treatments like powder coating or galvanization.</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: Are beams and joists the same?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

They fixed it, charged me a reasonable price and I couldn't have had better service. I appreciate this type of company that didn't say - we don't do that type of thing (they weld and fix trucks, etc). I got the lamp shade back the next day - the service was professional, fast, and accurate....

I brought in a small brass item that needed a small spot weld. It was important to my wife but not valuable. Mr. Kovel appreciated the project and turned it into a labor of love. It took a couple of days, but the result was better than could have been expected. My wife was delighted. Priceless.

Not only did Mr. Govel return my phone call the same day! (Many calls to others went unanswered) Not only did he say " if it's made of metal I can fix it" no matter how small the job! I dropped my fixture off in 2 pieces and was told to swing by 3 hours later to pick it up. Before I pulled...

Peter returned my message immediately. He happened to have a cancelation that day, so was able to come within the hour. The work was done within 2 hours. I feel like our porch rails will be nice and solid for several years to come.

We called this company on Monday. They measured and estimated the job on Tuesday. We accepted the estimate, and the custom-made set of porch railings was installed on Friday. The work was well-done and the owners (who also fabricated the railings and installed them) were personable. We are...
