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: Do welders need to be licensed or certified?

• <div><p>Some states require welders to be licensed and certified, while others don&rsquo;t. However, it&rsquo;s always a good idea to hire a licensed welder, regardless of requirements in your area, especially if you need welding for structural components of your home or gas lines. Licensed welders have gone through training and testing to prove their skills, so they&rsquo;re less likely to make a mistake that could be detrimental to your home. Use Angi&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">state licensing tool</a> to determine whether your potential hire has a welding license.</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>

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>
