"These guys are professionals! They work efficiently and are time conscientious. They are perfectionists with their work and they even custom built a gate for me. I have had many people ask me for their number to have their own fence just from seeing mine as they pass by the house. They are very responsible and respectful. Could not leave a better reference!"

"They came to me and welded material that other local companies said was to thin to weld period. And they did it effortlessly and it looks better than who had done it originally. They definitely take pride in their work. I will recommend them to anyone who is in need of a welder."

FAQs for steel beams (structural) service projects in Norfolk, VA

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.
