"In addition to the installation of a light, they also installed a medicine cabinet. Both needed some additional work- installation of a junction box and hole needed in a plastered wall; filling in of extra space around medicine cabinet rough opening. They also replaced some wood trim around a large tool shed. Job came out great. They were professional and conscientious to take care within my home. Tom and Mike did a very nice job."

"Excellent job! Started working with Archers in January/February and by early March projected was installed. They were able to meet our design requirements without a significant change in the price of the project. Very professional and easy to work with, I'd gladly recommend them to other AL customers."

"Excellent experience. Very professional and cleaned up after work was completed. They installed 2 support beams under a main beam after adding a concrete base for each support. I would use this high quality company again."

"This is a GREAT company. They are extremely knowledgeable and can figure out how to fix something so it is done right and doesn't cost a fortune. This company fixed a structural problem by welding angle irons to an Ibeam with a rotted plate. Everybody else wanted to replace the entire beam at an exorbitant cost. Their welder Miri has 30 years experience and he can fix anything in construction. Linda, the engineer, knows everything there is to know about structures and she is very cost conscious. This is an extremely honest and conscientious group of people. I STRONGLY recommend them for any project in your building. They are the best I have encountered in 30 years of dealing with construction people."

FAQs for steel beams (structural) service projects in Chicago, IL

A steel beam weighs six to 12 pounds per linear foot, depending on its size and shape. That means a 10-foot beam rated at 10 pounds per foot tips the scales at 100 pounds. Commercial projects often use much larger members—some top 50 pounds per foot—so crews may need lifts or cranes to maneuver them safely into place.

On a new build, crews can slide a beam into an open frame in just a few hours. Replacing a beam inside a finished home takes longer—plan on two to three days—to shore up the structure, remove finishes, and work around plumbing or wiring. Your structural engineer will outline the steps, and you may want to stay elsewhere while the temporary supports are in place.

Yes—as long as a structural engineer signs off, swapping a load-bearing wall for a beam is a safe upgrade. A steel I-beam offers the best strength-to-size ratio and meets local codes with room to spare. Your engineer will calculate the load, specify the beam, and verify that the surrounding framing can handle the new setup.

Watch for rot, rust, cracks, or sagging—all red flags that a support beam needs attention. Water stains, uneven floors, or doors that stick can also point to trouble. If you notice any of these issues, call a structural engineer right away. Catching the problem early protects your home and can keep the repair bill from ballooning.
