I do general fabrication in addition but not limited to automotive accessories. I am capable of welding aluminum and stainless in addition to mild steel. I am a one man show giving me the ability to make quality a priority and insure a customer is getting exactly what they're looking for. I have five years experience building fire trucks, one year of which in final repair and inspection, and also close to a year building dairy parlors which gives me a broad range of experience from mig/tig aluminum to purge welding stainless. I started my own company in February and have been open to any projects i can get my hands on since, ranging from hand rails and interior construction items to truck beds and equipment repairs.

Welding questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Using a steel frame may raise the value of your home. Steel is more heat resistant, has better longevity, and doesn’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—which have trouble bending and adapting to renovations.

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, steel I-beams cost 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.

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