Beam Installation

What This Service Involves

We install structural beams that transfer roof and floor loads when walls come down or openings widen. Beams are engineered and sized for the span, with connections detailed for the seismic activity the Puget Sound region can see. Installation includes temporary shoring and precise placement to keep the structure sound. Whether hidden in the ceiling or left exposed, the beam is set to code and inspected.
