​
What are Structural Beams?
Structural beams are essential components in your home's framework. These load-bearing elements are used to support the weight of the building, including the roof, floors, and walls, and redistribute that weight safely. In remodeling projects, they are often used when removing walls, creating open-concept spaces, or adding additional stories or extensions to your home.

Types of Structural Beams
There are different types of structural beams, and choosing the right one for your project depends on the specific needs of your home. Here are a few common types:

• Wood Beams: Traditional and cost-effective, wood beams can provide the necessary strength for smaller residential projects.
• Steel Beams: Steel beams are often used for larger projects or when a higher load capacity is required. They are incredibly strong, durable, and ideal for supporting large spans.
• LVL Beams (Laminated Veneer Lumber): These engineered wood beams are stronger and more reliable than traditional wood beams and are often used in residential remodels for added strength with a more modern look.

Why You Might Need Structural Beam Installation
Structural beam installation is often necessary in remodeling projects for several reasons:

• Open Concept Layouts: Many homeowners want to remove interior walls to create open living spaces. A structural beam is essential to support the load once the wall is removed.
• Basement or Attic Conversions: Adding an extra story or finishing a basement requires support to handle the weight of new flooring, walls, and ceilings. Structural beams help distribute the weight.
• Strengthening an Existing Structure: Over time, certain parts of your home may weaken, especially after years of settling. Installing structural beams can reinforce the integrity of your home, particularly in older homes.
• Extension Projects: If you're adding a new room or expanding your home's footprint, structural beams will support the new construction and ensure the stability of the entire structure.
