Project Description

A stronger foundation for open living

In this New Paltz, NY home, the basement layout was limited by Lally columns that divided the space. Macs Iron Works removed the columns and installed a structural steel I-beam lintel, creating a more open and usable area without compromising support. This project highlights our work in residential structural steel, where custom solutions improve layout and function while ensuring long-term strength.

Steel support, seamless design

The new I-beam was precisely measured, fabricated, and installed to meet structural requirements and local codes. By reinforcing the beam pocket and securing the load path, we delivered a streamlined solution that safely supports the home while improving everyday use of the space. It’s a clean upgrade with lasting impact.
