From sinks, toilets and tubs to main lines and sewers, our team of drain & sewer professionals are ready to provide you with fast, expert services.

"They truly live by the code of "you get what you paid for". The price was cheaper than expected (and they included a free estimate too). So ultimately, our slow bathtub drain was cleared. However, the technician had terrible housekeeping. After stripping the caulking around the overflow valve, they left the caulking pieces in the bathtub and told us to flush them down the drain (?!). They said the provided bio solution would clear the pieces just fine...but why do that when a trash can is less than a foot away?? Then, they did not offer to reseal the valve they just opened...just left a mess for us to pick up. As such, we will not be using them again next time...free estimate or not. If we wanted the bare minimum, we would have done it ourselves."

"As a rule, I don't write reviews. Had to make an exception this time. Outdoor Advantage is outstanding. The crew reduced the eroding slopes adjacent to two driveways and placed sod. Placed four fairly mature flowering shrubs into large planters. One week later, and both sod and plants are thriving. The advice I received as to how to manage my needs was terrific. Great "plant knowledge". They patched up a bare spot not in the original work order. Thorough clean-up. "A+" all around."

"I would probably give them four stars overall but since this is a review for a specific job of installing a gas stove I'm just giving two stars. They did the job but this is the second time now where they refused to do the job unless they were also able to replace the gas cock which is the valve behind the stove which supplies it with gas. It's totally unnecessary to do this but it allows them to double their price. So they charged me a total of $720 just for that. I would expect $300 or less for a simple quick job like this. I will not call them for this type of job again."

FAQs for engineer structural projects in Winterthur, DE

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.
