"We met Chris quite by accident, but he turned out to be the right person for the job. His prices were affordable and the quality is exactly what I expected. The job was done timely and I would definitely recommend Chris and his crew again. Don't we all need fence work?"

Our business offers Interior & Exterior Painting, our prices will depend on the clients budget and how much work the clients is giving us. I’ve been working in Painting for 13 years, with my partner, she makes sure the area I’m working with it’s clean for the client, and will make sure the area it’s clean after I’m done working.

"Good communication, did what he said he would do, worked diligently wasting no time, and the work quality was very good. His team was careful to protect floors, furniture, and fixtures from paint and dust and cleaned up well each day. They were the neatest housepainters I have ever hired. I am going to hire them again for more painting that I need done in the near future."

Welding questions, answered by experts

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.

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)

Costs depend on metal type, fabrication complexity, labor, finishing, and shipping or installation requirements.

Yes, an LVL beam is more affordable than the cost of a steel I-beam, 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.

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.
