Services
Custom Beam Fabrication
Custom beam fabrication provides tailored support solutions for residential and commercial construction projects. Our beams combine steel and kiln-dried lumber to meet specific load-bearing requirements while ensuring ease of installation. Each product undergoes rigorous quality checks to guarantee durability and compliance with industry standards.
PFS Fastening System
The PFS Fastening System uses multi-angle steel nuts to maximize compression without damaging lumber integrity. This innovative solution eliminates field trimming and furring, reducing labor time and material waste during installation. The system's rustproof design ensures long-term structural reliability in various environmental conditions.
Engineered Lumber Solutions
Engineered lumber solutions include laminated veneer lumber (LVL) beams designed for enhanced strength and dimensional stability. These products resist warping and shrinking, providing consistent performance in critical structural applications. Available in multiple configurations to accommodate different span and load requirements.
Steel Header Production
Steel header production creates reinforced support structures for doorways, windows, and load-bearing walls. Our headers combine rustproof steel with precise engineering to ensure structural integrity while maintaining installation flexibility. Custom sizing options adapt to unique architectural designs and building code specifications.
Delivery Services
Delivery services transport fabricated beams and fastening systems directly to construction sites across the Tri-State area. Our logistics team coordinates efficient delivery schedules to match project timelines, with options for customer-assisted unloading from flatbed trucks to minimize handling delays.
