Nice to see the ends of the ceiling/floor joists of the upper levels properly shored before removal of the original posts. Most people don't think to add bracing which is stupid and irresponsible.

That was a genius move using the drywall lift. I wish I had thought of that before. Would have saved me a lot of trouble.

Yes, they're helpful with lam beams, just barely made max weight with this one. If it was red iron, we'd hafta use our beam jacks.

I did the above job myself, no experience, just observing and doing what needed to be done. I had a friend engineer calculate the engineered wood beam; to make it smaller (less deep or thick) so to be less intrusive for a 8' joist ceiling, I screwed 2 (two) engineered wood 12" beams together with lag screws, a steel metal plate 1" thick (same thickness as the beam) was sandwiched in between the 2 beams. Steel posts were plaed at the ends under reinforced cement slab. This technique allowed the beam thckness to decrease from 18" thickness to just 12". Final result: excellent, just a thin 4" drywalled beam over the ceiling of the finally larger room.

Impressive workmanship. As an engineer I like seeing attention to detail. Not only was the ceiling joist supported but the load on the floor was also spread out and shared by the floor framing. What was the size of the new opening?

Thanks so much for your comments, there was a lot not shown on video either. A Lot of work and planning went into the point load transfer into the basement as well. I would have to pull out the file for this project for an exact span, but from memory, I believe it was around 25'.

Can I ask the dimensions of each of the LVL beams? I have a steel post in the middle of my kitchen/dining room where two steel beams meet. The total span is 24.5 inches. I’ve been told three 14” LVL beams would work. I’m planning on putting in 4 like you did.

@PremierResourcesContracting 7 місяців тому

Honestly, we'd have to design it for your specific circumstances. Span is only part of designing beam loads. You'd need your live and dead loads that your supporting. What material your supporting the beam with. Your sheer ratings for your area of the world. Among many other things. I would suggest hiring a structural engineer or a licensed contractor with an in house engineer (like us) to design it for you.

For three members, in mfg diagram, I see that nail penetrated two members full and the third member half way. Is that how it should be or it should go through all three members fully?

@PremierResourcesContracting 5 місяців тому

Are you speaking of nails into LVLs?

@classicalmusic2425 5 місяців тому

@@PremierResourcesContracting yes, did your nails pass through all four LVLs and went through three of them and only half way through fourth one?

@PremierResourcesContracting 5 місяців тому

Yes, you're partially correct. The fasteners did go through the way you describe, however, they were not nails. They were specialized lag screws meant for LVLs specifically

I’ve been dreading removing a load bearing wall. Mind me asking how much this ran end to end? Ballpark?

@PremierResourcesContracting 5 місяців тому

I have to put a little disclaimer here: Premier Resources Contracting is a firm with highly trained, licensed and insured professionals. We do not encourage anyone to attempt structural modifications without proper training and knowledge. With that being said and without pulling our files, I believe it was around 25 foot.

@PremierResourcesContracting 5 місяців тому

Even for a ballpark price, we'd need to know demographics, age of home, live & dead loads & countless other variables dependant on job specifics. Estimates (ball parks) really can't be done on projects like this, this would be in the realm of a proposal. Ranged pricing can sometimes help with more information, however.

@vroor32 5 місяців тому

@@PremierResourcesContracting .....and there you have it people.... No ballpark numbers here. Gotta pay for a site visit, and pay for a written proposal before you can get an idea of how much (on the low end) you are on the hook for... And the number will only go up from there 😂😂😂

@PremierResourcesContracting 5 місяців тому

Exactly. Look, we get it. Quality work and accurate pricing go hand in hand. Our process involves assessing crucial details before quoting a price. It's about ensuring a fair and precise cost, avoiding unexpected costs later on. Transparency and excellence matter to us. you can't simply complain about a "ballpark" or "starting" price, while simultaneously complaining the price will only go up from there. This is why we need more info for projects like these.
