"I scheduled an appointment with Joey to give me an estimate for some landscaping work. He forgot about the appointment until I called him, resulting in him being 1 1/2 hours late. Following our meeting, he was supposed to provide me with a quote for the work we discussed, but I haven’t heard from him. I’ve since read reviews on Backyards Plus. He either is a 5 star, or a 1 or 2 star based on the reasons I’ve cited above. Not sure if he treats all potential customers this way, or maybe my project wasn’t enough $$$ for him. I was ready to have him do my landscaping project and take over my lawn service. Doesn’t seem to want the business."

FAQs for engineer structural projects in Katy, TX
The timeframe for installing an LVL beam depends on your project's complexity and scope. Factors affecting the timeline include whether walls need removal, the beam's size, and whether electrical or plumbing modifications are necessary. Your contractor should provide a specific timeline estimate based on your home's unique circumstances and the specific requirements of your installation.
Financing options are available for structural improvements like LVL beam installations. Many homeowners use home equity loans or lines of credit, often offering favorable interest rates for home improvement projects. Some contractors partner with financing companies to provide payment plans directly. When gathering quotes, ask potential contractors about financing partnerships they maintain or recommendations for lenders experienced with home renovation projects.
LVL beams become necessary when you need to span greater distances without support columns or when supporting substantial loads. Traditional lumber can't span more than eight to 12 feet without support, while LVL beams can extend up to 30 feet. LVL provides the necessary strength to create truly open concept spaces or support upper floors without columns. Consulting with a structural engineer helps determine the appropriate beam type for your specific requirements.
Beyond the core installation, the budget for build-back costs totals $400 to $2,000, depending on the extent of affected finishes. If foundation reinforcement becomes necessary, allocate $1,000 to $3,000 per pier. Permit fees ranging from $100 to $500 should also be anticipated. For installations affecting utilities, factor in electrician rates of $50 to $130 per hour and plumber rates of $45 to $200 per hour if rerouting is required.
