How much does it cost to install a beam?

I was planning on installing a beam. How much does it cost to install a beam?

Question from Michelle Carter - Mon 2021-03-16

  • Installation costs will vary depending on the type of beam, the weight of the beam, and the accessibility of the installation site. Generally speaking, installation costs will range from $50 to $200 per hour. For a more accurate estimate, it is best to contact a contractor in your area.

    It depends on the beam and the installation. A good contractor will be able to give you an accurate estimate. Generally, it will cost between $500 and $1,500 to install a beam, depending on the size and complexity of the job.
