Veteran owned business with 28 years of experience performing a variety of repairs with an emphasis on quality. We can assist with surface restoration and repair of most surfaces (furniture, counter tops, cracked or spongy bathtubs, just about anything) mitigating the need for replacement. Bottom line, we can repair or replace just about anything and are ready to help!

"This was one of the worst experiences we have had. We contracted (verbally) with him in May after we received a quote for our projects of $650. He /his assistant did a few projects. He suggested that they come and complete other projects as they had time. We requested they wait until a later date, which was agreeable to them. Once we contacted them again, there was a complete lack of communication and focus on our project. I have text messages that show that he was unresponsive to our communications time and time again. Once he did contact us, he had a huge list of life issues, which were not acceptable as they were his problem not ours (as he agreed). He then set up a final time which he guaranteed but then consequently canceled due to another personal need. I asked for a final itemized bill. When I received it, it was almost the amount he initially quoted. However, the major projects that were quoted were never done. He refused to accommodate this in our bill."

FAQs for engineer structural projects in Grand Rapids, MI

The timeline for replacing a support beam varies based on several factors, including accessibility, length, and your home's specific structural requirements. The process involves multiple stages: planning, permitting, material procurement, and installation. Complications like discovering additional damage, electrical obstacles, or plumbing conflicts can extend the timeline. Consulting with contractors during the estimate process will give you a more accurate project duration for your specific situation.

Warning signs of a compromised support beam include noticeable floor sagging or bouncing, cracks appearing in walls (particularly near doorways), doors that suddenly stick or won't close properly, and visible damage to the beam itself. You might also notice unusual creaking sounds when walking across certain areas or gaps developing between walls and ceilings. Any of these symptoms warrants prompt inspection by a structural professional to determine whether repair or replacement is necessary.

In certain situations with limited damage, reinforcement techniques like sistering (attaching a new beam alongside the existing one) or adding steel plates can extend a beam's useful life. However, these approaches are only suitable for minor issues. Complete replacement is often necessary when significant deterioration affects more than half the beam or compromises its structural integrity. A structural engineer should evaluate the specific conditions to recommend the appropriate solution for your home.

Whether you need temporary housing during beam replacement depends on the beam's location and your project's scope. Many homeowners can remain in their homes during the work, particularly when the beam is in a basement or crawl space. The primary considerations are noise, dust, and access restrictions in the work area. If the project involves major demolition or affects critical living spaces, temporary relocation might be more comfortable. Discuss the project timeline and daily impact with your contractor before making this decision.

Support beams should be examined periodically as part of routine home maintenance. Pay particular attention to events that could affect structural elements, such as flooding, significant foundation movement, or pest infestations. If you notice any warning signs like sagging floors, wall cracks, or visible beam damage, arrange for a professional assessment immediately. Catching potential problems early can prevent more extensive damage and reduce repair costs.
