Q: Do I need an LVL beam?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>

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

Q: 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&rsquo;s a better option for larger structures or if you want an open space under your home that doesn&rsquo;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>

Q: Why should I pick steel for my new support beam?

• <div><p>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:</p><ul><li><p>Fire-resistant</p></li><li><p>Unaffected by pests</p></li><li><p>Longer-lasting</p></li><li><p>Stronger against water damage (when galvanized against rust)</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: How much do different welding projects cost?

• <div><p>Some welding projects, such as <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-to-repair-leaking-pipe.htm">repairing pipes</a> 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:</p><ul><li><p>Metal furniture repair: $35&ndash;$100</p></li><li><p>Pipe repair: $200&ndash;$1,000</p></li><li><p>Small gates: $550&ndash;$750</p></li><li><p>Fencing: $1,200&ndash;$1,800</p></li><li><p>Fabricated sheet metal welding: $750&ndash;$2,500</p></li></ul><p></p></div>
